Pry indicated that J.C. Price will remain on his staff as associate head coach/defensive coach. Price led the Hokies to a 29-24 victory over Virginia as interim head coach in Tech's 2021 regular season finale. He will continue to serve in that role through Tech's bowl game. Pry worked with Price during his senior season as a player in 1995 when Tech finished the season with 10 consecutive wins, culminating with a 28-10 win in the Sugar Bowl over No. 9 Texas.

Previous thread heading toward 500 comments and we need a lot of space as things start to heat up. Lots of names we've talked about all year are now off the board.
As more coaches get fired, I'll try to update this, but in the meantime, feel free to comment and update when you hear of a change.
I am taking requests and need clock and quarter times, please.
