Bud Foster wanted the head job at Virginia Tech. He made that clear to athletics director Whit Babcock, who made something else just as clear to Foster: thanks, but no thanks. “I was disappointed that I didn’t really get an opportunity, and I expressed that to him, that I didn’t get a chance to really state my case, so to speak,” Foster said, addressing the news that Justin Fuente had been hired…
