What you say is fair, IMO,......

in your first and third paragraphs. I think the jury might still be out on the second paragraph and true results could be masked, at least to some extent, by NIL allocations. A player is likely inclined to stay or leave as much by the money they now receive as the recruiting and leadership talent of the coach. Moreover, how that NIL gets managed can create a whole host of other dynamics not formerly present. The goings on off the field may be more interesting to watch now than the activity on the field.

Seems like VT current state is like Beamer’s early situation…

It’s interesting. Pry is a VT guy. He gets the culture, the brand.

I didn’t mean to implant that NIL wasn’t a big factor in

Getting the culture?Pandering to the 25 thing is lame. BeamerBall? Really**
JackDSML • 09/24/24 10:09 AM ET
Who would you say seems like a better cultural fit at VT — Pry or Fuente? **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/24/24 01:48 PM ET
I guess the 25 thing is gonna continue
WildTurkE • 09/24/24 10:33 AM ET
It’s NOT weird. It’s done by other programs and it’s a cool thing

Why is this a bother more than the lunchpail? Another tie to a bygone era.
97Hokie • 09/24/24 10:39 AM ET
Agreed, got no problem with the 25**
ombandit • 09/24/24 11:05 AM ET
Yeah, it’s an odd thing for people to dislike.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/24/24 01:50 PM ET
I feel the same way, I think we all want him to be successful
Technocrat • 09/24/24 09:56 AM ET
So true. SEC doesn't need media pressure on a coach to make a decision

Hugh Freeze is getting round two of this

Money is only a part of the coaching equation
Happy Dog • 09/24/24 09:20 AM ET
How about someone who coaches fundamentals and has a plan...
EDGEMAN • 09/24/24 09:54 AM ET
Actually I think the Pry hire has been fine. The anti FU. However, hiring
97Hokie • 09/24/24 09:48 AM ET
Yes, and that's absolutely what the AD should have required of coord hires**
Happy Dog • 09/24/24 10:37 AM ET
Machiavellian take, but...
VTHokie70 • 09/24/24 12:57 PM ET
And he should get the message this off season that...
EDGEMAN • 09/24/24 09:54 AM ET
Didn’t Pry bring a big name OL coach that left for personal reasons
CMU Hokie • 09/24/24 09:33 AM ET
Agree with pry and beamer
