Pry brought in first time coord bc he couldnt afford better ones.

simple as that IMO. we have less than half the pool of money compared to clemson and FSU for staff. Pry simply could not attract better talent with experience. plus, he is not a good coach.

Life isn't all about money. Remember Fu being at his kid's volleyball game

Most people who get fired are worried about next month bills and food.

THIS... I KNOW he wanted to succeed and it's embarrassing
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 01:57 PM ET
This is literally the ADs fault. And these batouts are killing us
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 12:56 PM ET
um NO coach will sign without a buyout**
VaPoly07 • 09/16/25 01:12 PM ET
Ummm no coach gets a buy out if we have a competent AD who can make a good
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 01:22 PM ET

Turk Malloy • 09/16/25 01:18 PM ET
The point is sign better coaches & don’t kneecap them once they sign**
Hokiefied • 09/16/25 01:16 PM ET
Pry wasnt kneecapped
Turk Malloy • 09/16/25 01:20 PM ET
Biggest what-if of Pry's VT tenure will be if Joe Rudolph stayed longer

VaPoly07 • 09/16/25 01:29 PM ET
Clemson and FSU - yes. Other comparables - not really.
Turk Malloy • 09/16/25 02:58 PM ET
yes the staff money went up, but still WAY behind everyone else.

South Alabama has better coordinators **
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 01:53 PM ET
Did we have less money than Duke?Duke hired better coordinators**
HokieBrazil • 09/16/25 01:33 PM ET
cool, but in general, having less money doesnt equate to good coaches**
VaPoly07 • 09/17/25 07:09 AM ET
So does ODU, apparently.**

Pry was covered under the “hire better coaches” clause **

Fuentes turned out to be a joke
UberHOKIE • 09/16/25 01:24 PM ET
Fuentes was much better coach than Pry
Turk Malloy • 09/16/25 01:34 PM ET
FOR THE LOVE it's Fuente. There's no s at the end.
hoosnowahokie • 09/16/25 03:26 PM ET

The most important thing that can happen here is to cut ties w/the past
