Hokies introduce Fuente as new head coach
The Tigers won their last seven games to end last season and their first eight to start this season, using a high-powered offense that outscored its opponents by an average of almost 21 points. Fuente’s contract will extend for six years, with the new head coach earning $3.2 million excluding any potential bonuses in his first year.
Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen said Sunday that “we are in the process of putting together a list of candidates with our leadership and will begin moving forward in the search for our next head coach”.
Littlepage doesn’t have a specific time frame for when the search for a new head coach will conclude, per a school release. “Having just ended our regular season with another win over U-Va. under our remarkable coach Frank Beamer, we can all celebrate our season and Coach Beamer’s tenure with a bowl game while we welcome Justin Fuente as our new football coach”. “He elevated Memphis to unprecedented heights”. Foster not only ensures Fuente will have a dependable coach managing the defense, which should remain one of the top defensive units in the ACC as long as he stays put. In that game, the Cavaliers lost to their in-state rival for the 12 consecutive occasion despite outgaining the Hokies 433-304. He went to record a 4 win season in 2012, and a 3 win season in 2013. My first couple of weeks on the job at TCU, I absolutely fell in love with the way that Gary had it organized from a practice standpoint, from an offseason standpoint. By keeping Foster and Shane Beamer on staff, the strong recruiting and defensive dominance that has maintained strong, even during this recent slide, will continue after Frank Beamer’s departure. Beamer led the team to national prominence and 22 straight bowl games. His ability to inspire others helped our program establish great relationships among the high school football coaches in the state and he has been a tremendous ambassador for the University.
