Yeah, it’s an odd thing for people to dislike.

They are cultural symbols meant to convey what is valued. It is a nod to the past — and keeps us tethered to what has made Vt successful in the past. Obviously Pry needs to do much more to be successful, but the 25 and lunchpail aren’t the issues. ** Edited by Pride_and_Joy at 9/24/2024, 1:53:12 PM

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**

I feel the same way, I think we all want him to be successful

So true. SEC doesn't need media pressure on a coach to make a decision

Money is only a part of the coaching equation

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**

Machiavellian take, but...

Didn’t Pry bring a big name OL coach that left for personal reasons
CMU Hokie • 09/24/24 09:33 AM ET
