If you wait until December, you risk other, better jobs opening up first

This is the type of move that VT needed to make if they're serious about becoming good at football again. Yeah, it's more expensive to fire now than then, but, it's not even that significant compared to the yearly cost of what everyone else is spending, among programs with a level of success to which VT aspires. The job being open as early as mid-September reduces the chance that VT gets scooped by another program looking for a coach.

I would have saved the money and let him finish the season Edit: Nevermind

Probably keep him on the payroll until the date the buyout reduces.**

Nah. The best time to start for a coaching search is now

Whoever the next AD will be is already searching. Nothing to do with Pry**

I disagree. This shows the average fan that they are serious about righting
Hokie_Forester • 09/14/25 01:21 PM ET
Totally. VT needed to show some action after this disastrous start. **
