Virginia Tech football announced the dismissal of coach Justin Fuente on Tuesday morning. Fuente took over for the legendary Frank Beamer in 2016, after posting a 43–41 record with the program.
Shane Beamer's name has come up as a potential option to take over the program that his father built. He was asked about the opening in Blacksburg during his Tuesday press conference and reiterated his dedication to South Carolina.
