Three days after a 48-17 win over Duke, Justin Fuente's tenure as Virginia Tech head coach has come to an end.
In a statement released on Tuesday (h/t The Athletic's Andy Bitter), Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock announced a mutual parting of ways with Fuente after six seasons:
"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.
