Yep, fire Pry today and follow-up with firing Whit later this month when an interim AD can be identified. And everyone in the Athletic Department needs to be updating their resumes tomorrow morning
Public meetings laws require posting of open session materials several days in advance. At least three, as far as I know. And then there are likely many legal issues being sorted out in house. I get the desire for urgency but I think there are practical and legal hurdles.
I think it was only a loss as far as he is really good and the people denying he was good are coping hard. Like I said though, it was an expected loss, I knew in 2023 that the 2025 team wouldn't have him.
I was on this board saying Chaplin was irreplaceable and although we were bringing people in from WVU, the Moore & Chaplin absences would be felt and we'd be much better with them.
Yep I'm with you. Waiting til the 30th is not good enough. If the decision is being made, give me one good reason to wait 2 weeks to make this happen. If the decision needs to be made, don't wait.
Call an emergency session today and get it done. If this is inconvenient for the schedules of the BoV members, tough shit, being on the board means you need to be able to meet on a moments notice during emergency situations, and this is absolutely one of them.
I personally think we hear something on Pry today or tomorrow. There's no coming back from that last night and I fear the entire team may be lost at this point. You have to fire him and name an interim immediately. Whit and any other higher up action/moves will probably occur during the meeting on the 30th if I had to guess.
Valid
I have no information so this is speculation.
Firings can be done at any time. But if a buyout package has been negotiated or some contract modifications have been made, the BOV would have to approve them. So this meeting may be final approval of an action to be taken soon.
The only bright side was Seifkis benching the starting D line. Yeah we still got beat up, but that should be the common practice.... you dont perform, you get benched
Man it's not even about the national perspective, it's about sending a message to the Tech fans that the administration is trying to fix it.
Waiting til the 30th to action is just not good enough. The fanbase deserves better than that. You're charging full price to these games while dragging ass to make decisions, and you risk irreparable damage within your own ranks by delaying it.
Schedule an emergency meeting today and be done with it. Be adaptable, stop following the bureaucratic processes for the sake of it and action when action is needed.

# | Over/Under on hours after the game for whit and pry firings I legitimately don't think this is soon enough/shows enough urgency.
But of course I also don't think they have any type of contingency in place for this, because of course they don't. I've come to expect nothing less at this point. So that's why they have to drag this out instead of making decisive changes and taking immediate actions.
I get what you're saying, but TKP has been hemorrhaging members for a long time now. Regardless of if you didn't mind him or hated him, DCWilson leaving is a real red flag for me in terms of the apathy this fan base is reaching.
2 again for me. I suck at this.
Fun play on words and all, but something I've learned as I've gotten older is that there is no such thing as rock bottom. The pit of despair is bottomless. If you're alive, things can always get worse in ways you never even imagined were possible.
While a rather gloom assessment, it also means we've got a ton of space to move up too. Obviously, significant changes are needed though. It's time to drop the shovel and pickaxe and start climbing.

# | TSL/Chris Coleman Predicting (reporting?) Whit to be fired Every other refresh of the Tracker here for me times out. Started doing that last night. I assume it's the stress of everyone all coming to gripe/read everybody else's gripes as well.
The TSL thing does legitimately seem like a DDOS attack, though.
It won't happen. We do need to clean house, and based on what VTGuitarMan is saying, the BOV will get together on 9/30. I'd bet by the middle of October the AD will be cleaned out. So, we have 30 more days of dread.
To be fair, even as FSU fell apart last year, they didn't fire the coaching staff right away. Granted, he had way more good will built up from the undefeated season the year prior.
At this point, waiting another month won't change much. The national perception of VT is already shot. 5 years from now, people won't remember if we fired Pry in September or October. What will matter is what the BOV will set up as additional revenue and resources to make sure we get back to winning.
Yeah my point is just that you have to pay him regardless, so its not really a benefit to keep him going
Yes it's about $6m to fire him per multiple podcasts.
To be fair, I too underestimated how big of a loss it was. And I thought he was good lol. I didn't think highly of the OL we lost either. Was wrong on that one.
Whit spending NIL money on ddos farms to slow our rage posts
Is my understanding correct that Pry's buyout is just 75% of his remaining contract? If that is true then the cheapest thing to do is to just fire him now and save 25% cost for the season.
Lots of angry people wanting to vent and burn everything down would be my guess.
Message on TSL: "We are under attack right now. We are only allowing logged in users. If you haven't logged in please be patient with us"
This site (TKP) was loading very slowly last night as the game was ending, and it seemed like more than just user activity. I wonder what's going on.

# | Over/Under on hours after the game for whit and pry firings I think it comes about 4 days after we lose to Wofford
Their routes look like they are in slow motion
I find it unrealistic that the BoV is incapable of having emergency sessions.
