Pry, I believe, is a rah-rah, positive attitude, salesman type. That

may make for a good recruiter, especially if you have an established product to sell like he had at PSU. He’s a marketer/salesman but not a x and o’s guy. And in the current state of college football and in VTs position - we need a staff that can develop and coach. Hoping these new coaches bring that…hopefully we will see evidence of that sooner rather than later. But I think Pry’s time is short - whenever his buyout gets to a reasonable level, he’s gone. All just my opinion of course , and more than happy to eat 🐦‍⬛ if he turns it around….but I’m just not buying the Pryspeak.

I think it’s a combo of August revisionist history & irrational exhuberance**

VT can have an ideal culture, but today $$$ wins

Culture = 6/6. We should be 8-4 or better. CBP won't get us there.**
George Baylor • 08/09/25 07:43 AM ET
So the floor for a coach is a constant +2 over your culture and asset base?
VTCALS72 • 08/09/25 09:13 AM ET
Some people get riled up when he is criticized, but I don't see why.
TekkNerd • 08/09/25 07:12 AM ET
Don’t understand why people like him
deathrow821 • 08/10/25 12:53 PM ET
Well, people have a right to their opinion just like you do as that’s why

An average coach would have chosen experienced coordinators.**

This is actually the biggest mistake he made, being a first time HC, he

I don't agree that there aren't better HCs that would be interested in VT

The results have shown up on the field.. this is the issue with fans

It feels to me we are more like at the win few stage than the win small

Either we establish our running game, or we'll reestablish our crying game.

Coupled with his history of defending CBP et al, yeah!**
saret • 08/08/25 08:31 PM ET
Not much about changing the culture at VT more about fitting in the VT
VTCALS72 • 08/08/25 06:27 PM ET
Personally I like cultures that win.**
UpstateSCHokie • 08/08/25 06:08 PM ET
Agreed. Some cultures just aren't made to last.
