ESPN: Pry tops lists of coaches on the hot-seat this season

College football coaching landscape: Hot seats, potential coaching candidates and more

Whose early-season struggles have microwaved their seat?

Virginia Tech's Pry had an experienced team with high hopes in 2024, but the Hokies failed to meet expectations after a season-opening loss to Vanderbilt and finished 6-7. As a result, he made staff changes, hiring new offensive and defensive coordinators, and revamped his roster. Quarterback Kyron Drones remained a constant. Yet none of those changes appear to have Virginia Tech any closer to competing for a championship. The Hokies blew a 20-10 halftime lead to Vanderbilt, getting outscored 34-0 in the second half -- its worst scoring margin in any half at home in the history of Lane Stadium. Virginia Tech is now 0-2 for the second time in three seasons, and Pry is 16-23 since his arrival in 2022.

They do spend a little time talking about new coaching candidates, but its mostly from a Florida perspective. Dan Lanning, Lane Kiffin, Jedd Fisch, Eli Drinkwitz were all mentioned as people Florida could target. Specifically regarding 'others', they did mention Dan Mullen as someone who could get some look for schools wanting SEC experience.
