Machiavellian take, but...

If WB is more hands-off Pry's hires, than failure's on Pry not WB. But if the team succeeds, hey WB hired Pry...regardless of why the team succeeds. Might be a bit much. I wonder how hands-on he's been with hires by other coaches? If he's consistent, well than at least he's consistent.

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.

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

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**

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
