The Tigers were 7-17 in his first two seasons, but then 10-3 in 2014, including a double-overtime victory against BYU in the Miami Beach Bowl, and 9-3 in the 2015 season.That team also went to a bowl game, but Fuente was already on his way to replacing Frank Beamer, the winningest active coach in the game, with the Hokies.The interview process at No. 3 Clemson (11-1; No. 3 CFP) created the foundation for a friendship.We just got along well, Fuente said of his day-and-a-half in Clemson.
