Brent Pry Fired

Virginia Tech hits the reset button on its football program, again. President Tim Sands discloses major financial, organizational and leadership changes are coming to position the Hokies to compete among the top schools in the ACC.

[Mark Umansky]

Virginia Tech President Tim Sands announced the Hokies were parting ways with head football coach Brent Pry:

Coach Brent Pry has been relieved of his coaching duties effective immediately. We appreciate Coach Pry's efforts and service since 2021. Unfortunately, the results on the field were not acceptable and a change in leadership is necessary. Philip Montgomery will serve as interim head coach. We will continue to fully support our team and student-athletes for the remaining games as we strive together to significantly improve the trajectory of our football program this season.

To our students, alumni, and the rest of Hokie Nation, we understand and share your disappointment with the season so far. As we move forward together, please join us in supporting and encouraging our student-athletes and athletics staff as they take on this new challenge.

Sands also teased a new plan to provide Virginia Tech football financial competitiveness moving forward:

Board of Visitors members J. Pearson and Ryan McCarthy have been charged by the rector, John Rocovich, to work with university leadership and AD Whit Babcock to develop a financial, organizational and leadership plan that will rapidly position the Virginia Tech football program to be competitive with the best in the ACC. That plan will be presented to the Board of Visitors later this month. The new framework for college sports will be fully established for next season, so this is the time to make a major move.

This confirms an earlier report from ESPN's Pete Thamel:
