I'm a little confused how he's a good fit. Those schemes were best with an accurate quick and elusive QB that can throw on the run. I just don't see a big pocket passer as a fit for that scheme.
I really question what P Mont's philosophy is in the new era. He hasn't had a good offense in a decade. He's made some QB's look really bad at his post Baylor stops (it's possible they actually were bad, but over so many different QB's it looks like it could be a pattern).
His bad offenses usually featured a pocket passer type QB, which was odd to me. They telegraphed every play, were easy to defend and seemed to follow the strategy: Get stopped for a short gain on 1st and 2nd down then chuck it on 3rd. Would be absolutely pissed if that's what he brings here
Can we actually use a QB as something other than a battering ram?
There is an Adibi in the house. They will bring the energy and old school lunch pail mentality for the players.
Hearing some of these stories are reminding me of a couple things. A) I am very glad my boat is parked on a lift at Claytor Lake right now. B) I really need to finish the trailer rebuild project I started on four years ago.
I would be happy with a winning record in the ACC, gleeful going dancing, and backflip induced giddiness if we won the ACC.
Not sad at all. I think we all hope that this is the year the Hokies Renaissance period begins and Pry rips off a dozen or so 10 win seasons in a row, but I think for most fans success this season is, sadly, but realistically, well under that bar.
"Functionally Athletic" is how I internally think about my athleticism these days.
Offer list not stellar, but it looks like we were competing with GT and Colorado for this guy primarily, and both of those teams have had/are having recent success at QB.
Yeah, but tobacco had a much longer life than paper routes for kids. Not a good trade off in my book, but i also have my addictions.
Siefkes seems like he's a great strategist and hopefully improves the knowledge, execution and consistency of the defense. I also hope there are some strong alpha coaching voices on this staff to inspire a nasty swag defensive attitude. I'm not sure who on this team has that natural nasty attitude to bring back the old school lunch pain defense. I miss the terror dome mentality and I don't see Siefkes bringing that type of energy. I'm nervous about this hire but hoping for a surprise
This is basically the same thing as a paper route.
247's scouting report in the posted link describes a guy who would fit well in Montgomery's Veer & Shoot / Art Briles scheme:
Big-framed pro-style quarterback with a corresponding big arm that shows in downfield vertical passing game juice and short-to-intermediate velocity. Excellent timing and touch passer who knows how to throw to spots to allow only his receivers to make plays on the ball. Smooth, repeatable release fosters consistent spiral and RPMs. Live evaluations at multiple Spring 2025 events passed with flying colors, including an Elite 11 Austin performance that revealed the ability to consistently rip it to multiple levels into a stiff wind. Appears to play with encouraging pocket awareness and subtle evasiveness to extend plays inside and out of the pocket as necessary. Capable of drilling intermediate throws on the move, including across his body to the field. Good combine tester who also plays basketball. Not a high-volume run threat at the next level, but functionally athletic enough to present a scramble threat and more importantly extend plays for big-time off-schedule throws. Occasionally throws a bit flat-footed at times. Production context is not crystal clear due to lack of concrete data at this point, but the tape and live exposures have been strong. Projects to the P4 level with significant long-term potential that suggests multi-year impact starter upside.
Well, again, the hits keep coming. Following the lead of flyguy, I have experienced trailer trauma this morning. I am having the driveway done, gravel etc., and went to move my boat and truck for the work. Halfway out of my driveway, my left wheel broke off from the trailer and landed hard. Thank the fishing spririts that I wasn't on the road, it would have been pretty bad at driving speed. Not sure if I can fix this decrepit trailer, but aren't willing to go too crazy for a 20 year old rig. Oh well, I'm not enjoying this season one damned bit.
Man would it be great if he could translate that to gametime. We need a spark badly.
If he does meet or exceed expectations, what does that mean for the team this year? Going dancing? Darkhorse ACC tourney champs? It would be great to have something to root for that provides a return.
If he can keep that up, he is going to the NBA after this year.
Is it sad that I hope we shock the world? I want a 224 yard rushing game against USCe, Drones gets 82. We also pass for over 200 yds and we score at least 31. Win or lose, if we get those numbers I will feel great about the game.
Might as well keep the heart attacks coming!!

I think that's a likely scenario for a successful season in '25. I just don't see us starting strong with new coordinators and schemes on both sides of the ball and Pry has never shown the ability to start a season strong. If we're going to show improvement this year I think it will look like a slightly better '23, stumble threw the first few games and then figure out the schemes and remain competitive through the back have of the schedule.
The ref's totally rob us of a win against USC, because it just means more. Look like dogshit against Vandy, and squeak by ODU. Looks like an awful season. Then manage to get into the ACC championship based on everyone else sucking too. Is that what you are hoping for? Because I would totally take that.
Ah you're right - thought it was a five-year deal. So much riding on this season, not just for Pry but the future of our football program and athletic department honestly.
seeing your comment without context, I wasn't certain if you were referring to football or basketball lol
