Please no. He may be a good coach, but if you think he won’t walk out in

the middle of the night from Tech to go to a different job like he did to Notre Dame players, think again. I think he brings too much distraction and baggage with him. But that’s just me.

Thanks for your answer. It has been rumored that he may be the next

coach let go, but as far as I could tell it hadn’t happened when he made the post. Have a great day!

Either way Disney wins as they own 80% of ESPN. Would think they make

more money going through Disney +/Hulu, but they will make money from other services that carry ESPN. The other 20% is owned by the Hearst Corporation which owns many newspapers and A&E networks.

No idea what your post has to do with my question to Will. I put nothing

in my post about hiring of coaches or GM or the committee that was put together regarding coach suggestions. Just wanted to know if only audio is put out for the sessions with David Teel as the ones I have watched to date have both audio and video when posted to youtube.

But haven’t students been paying for fellow students to attend VT with

scholarships from the school whether they are athletic or academic scholarships? Some scholarships are from the state and some are from the school. Are not those from the school being paid by everyone attending the school?

It all depends on how the contract was written. I am not an attorney, but

I would think if the contract states that in order to receive the revenue sharing they have to be on the football team, and they are no longer on the football team, then they are not entitled to receive any money. Not sure what the parameters are for a coach to remove someone from the football team. Are there specific guidelines/reason as to when a coach can remove a player? Is the fact that the player expressed an interest that he wanted to redshirt and would be entering the portal in January enough for a coach to remove them from the roster? No idea how the conversation went since none of us were there during the discussions, but seems like if a player told his coach he wasn’t going to play anymore, that the coach should be able to remove him from the team for refusing to honor his part of being on the team. But, as I said, contracts will dictate results - or at least they should. If a player doesn’t want to stay, that’s fine. But they shouldn’t expect to be part of practice and coached until they leave.

For where I sit in 2023 tickets were $450; in 2024 raised to $540 (this is

where they included the β€œcomplimentary”, as they referred to them, seat backs); in 2025 same seats cost $600

And then leaving early. Was here in Dooley years, so that wasn’t exactly

Great winning percentage, but we stayed for the entire game - whether we were winning (TIC) or losing. Students today don’t even stay when the team is winning

They did increase season ticket prices this year already. Yes, they

increased the student fees for sports, but decreased other fees to offset a little

Very interesting question for the board. With him being Beamer’s right

hand man or confidant, or however you want to state it, I’ve always wondered if JB purposely undermined others so that, in his mind, he was doing what he thought would keep Frank’s legacy intact. Seemed like some of JB’s decisions were made to make sure that no one else did as well as Frank, thus keeping another coach from surpassing FB’s accomplishments. It is going to be very hard, if even possible, to surpass FB’s legacy. I do agree and wonder also why JB is still employed because a lot of his decisions don’t seem to be made in VT’s best interest

Funny you have this about AI running the team. In the first year with

former coach, I used to tell my husband that they should just provide a bucket and have people write down plays they want to see and then have the staff just pull one out and run whatever was written on the paper. Didn’t think the fans could do worse than the coaching staff in that first year. Was hoping that things improved drastically, but here we are.

Maybe he tried but Pry said no. Most likely we will not find out how

practices were handled unless a present or former player speaks up which I presume will not happen with current players and not how much you can believe a former player, especially if they have a bone to pick. I thought that I heard on one of the Tech Sideline shows that practices were not starting on time. Not sure if this was happening regularly or occasionally. They also commented on how practices started late on media days. So, if true, that is one thing the coach can change immediately. Monty definitely has an uphill battle so interested in how well he gets the troops to climb

There are more than 2 schools that haven’t won a Natty in any sport. In

the ACC, neither BC or Louisville have won a natty, at least not that I could find in my research. Other notable schools that I saw that haven’t won include Kansas State, Miss. State, Arizona, Houston, WVU, Purdue, Gonzaga. ** Edited by techer1983 at 9/16/2025, 7:02:18 PM

Would that be Stu Holt? He’s the special teams coach and believe that is

where kicking falls in the scheme of football. If you are talking about Love, he was a good kicker before coming to VT. Presume that Lowe was also.

So ESPN and other media are reporting that Pry has been fired. Validity of

these reports? And that Montgomery is the interim head coach. Others on here are in the know so what have others heard, if anything? ** Edited by techer1983 at 9/14/2025, 2:29:20 PM ** Edited by techer1983 at 9/14/2025, 2:32:19 PM

He was a good head coach before coming to Tech. I was not a fan of him

at Tech as I am not sure he was a good fit for us. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t a decent head coach, just not for us. You see it with players also. Hooker did not excel here, but did at Tennessee. That program was a better fit for him and I don’t hold anything against him for going elsewhere.

Read an article that stated if we fire Pry prior to 1/1/26, he is owed

$10million in buyout. After that date, it drops to $6 million. I thought we are still paying the last bad coaching hire, so unless people can come up with the $4million difference, does it really make sense to do it. Understand that Montgomery has head coach experience so would he be the one you would want as interim, if they do, in fact, get rid of Pry before the end of the season?

The article I read stated that if he is fired before 1/1/26, he will

receive $10 million and after that date it is $6 million and his contract runs through 2027 season. Article did not mention buy out after 2026 season but perhaps it didn’t go into those details since it was just focusing on Pry being on Hot Seat now and cost to replace him sooner than later.

Depends on where you are sitting. If you purchased season tickets, and you

to know what you are paying for each game, go into your Hokies account and it will give the price per ticket for each game for your section. In your account under β€œMy Tickets” section on right side, click on β€œOrder History” and then go down to 2025. ** Edited by techer1983 at 9/4/2025, 6:24:29 PM
