The Virginia Tech Hokies and head football coach Justin Fuente have mutually agreed to part ways, per Virginia Tech’s official website.
Former Virginia Tech player and current co-defensive line coach, J.C. Price, will act as the interim coach for the final two games of the regular season.
Athletic director Whit Babcock released the following statement:
We sincerely appreciate the contributions that Coach Fuente made to our football program and the positive impact he made on our student-athletes during his time at Virginia Tech. While it is never easy to make a change, I believe in order for our football program to attain the type of sustained success that is expected at Virginia Tech, the time was right for new leadership of our football program.
