Is the Pry experiment officially over after this year ?

Since college FB is more like pro with every player a free agent it’s possible we should look for a coach with pro experience. IMHO We have won 1 one score game with the current coach . That defies all odds . ( 1-12 ) . Pry will not learn clock management and end game coaching at his age . He actually felt we would be in the ACC championship game at the start of the season . We weren’t close to that . I do think he is handling the players with their egos , and that’s difficult to do . This isn’t enough and it may be best to buy the best players we can every year and go from there . Kind of like a fantasy football draft . Development is pretty much out the window as teams go from basement dweller to contender overnight ( Indiana , Colo , etc) . I don’t like it but it is what it is . College loyalty is mostly a thing of the past for players .

Check out Nebraska in 1 score games the last 15 years. That defies odds.**

OK, the problem is not just pry but the culture and expectation of VT

Peer schools are within ACC...there is no way to sustainably match Bigsec

We expected returning 20 out of 22 starters would yield a better record...

Indiana and Colorado have far better coaching

I think this would be a 10 win season if we had switched coaches...

Indiana took all the good players from a championship

Yeah, they'll be replaced by better players. JMU players aren't making

Despite that, JMU still has an 8-3 record, beat an ACC team by hanging 70

How on the world do you think a good coach slips by?
UberHOKIE 11/25/24 08:53 AM ET
JMU's present staff would likely be an immediate upgrade IMO. Try to copy

Who wants a job you only have 3 years to build a program?

Objectively, we should be able to lure JMU's coach to Blacksburg. I don't
