Justin Fuente, former Memphis & Virginia Tech Head Coach/now radio analyst at TCU Radio, will join 92.9 FM ESPN's Jason & John Show on Tuesday (7/22) live at 1:25 p.m.
Justin Fuente took over as head coach of Memphis in December 2011, following two dismal seasons (5–31 combined). His impact was immediate, guiding the Tigers to a 4–8 record in 2012—their best since 2008—and earning a contract extension.
In just his third season (2014), Fuente led Memphis to a share of the AAC championship (7–1 conference), a thrilling double‑overtime Miami Beach Bowl win over BYU, and the school’s first 10‑win season since 1938.
Ranked No. 25, he was named AAC Coach of the Year, a finalist for Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, and earned a Tennessee Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year award. Over four seasons, Fuente compiled a 26–23 record and ended his Memphis tenure on a high note: a 9–3 regular season in 2015 before departing for Virginia Tech.
