Too soon to tell.

But Shane has several built in advantages. SEC, heck of a lot better recruiting area, and Frank looking over his shoulder in case he screws up. I like what Pry's doing, but he's got to win some games to keep the wolves at bay. If CFB started in this era and had the same record he had, he'd never make it to year 4. Let's give Pry some slack and see what he can do.

Better salesman Pry or Shane?
Tay790 • 06/19/23 07:08 PM ET
VT vs USCe schedule…easier to sell playing WAY better competition **
Fore_Hokies • 06/20/23 03:17 PM ET
Fake USC has never won anything. VT has some history, at least, to sell**

Have a Heisman winner **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/23/23 01:59 PM ET
Selling what people don't want isn't a good tactic. History doesn't matter.
SkoHokies • 06/22/23 01:50 PM ET
Trick question......answer Fuente**
HokiePokie95 • 06/20/23 12:48 PM ET
So True, Fuente Came with more, produced less, and took more.
jonnyhawk • 06/20/23 05:11 PM ET
He sold fans who wanted to be sold on an offense first approach
VTCALS72 • 06/23/23 07:05 AM ET
Frank had already blown up the program. Fu getting Jerod gave it one last
NokieHokie • 06/23/23 08:12 PM ET
, even though it was a very short one !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/23/23 08:35 PM ET
Can't really compare across schools.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/20/23 12:16 PM ET
We will know in 2025 when we go head to head in Atlanta. 🤔

Chris Coleman, the voice of reason **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/22/23 07:32 PM ET
Much easier to recruit elite talent to Clemson
EDGEMAN • 06/20/23 03:37 PM ET
Pry. He's signing kids despite Bowen being our OC**

squarerootofone • 06/20/23 10:47 AM ET
Coin flip, but both of them need to pick it up on and off the field........
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 06/20/23 09:05 AM ET
7-6 minimum? That's a big leap
Seikoh_04 • 06/20/23 11:08 AM ET
7 wins would be a great season with the current state**
hokieinparadise • 06/20/23 09:39 AM ET
I'm thinking USC-E fans will build Shane a statue with 7 wins.
EDGEMAN • 06/20/23 09:54 AM ET
Lol no chance they build a statue for 7 wins **
Brewing_Hokie • 06/23/23 09:16 PM ET
They'll build him a stake to be burned at.
NokieHokie • 06/23/23 11:59 PM ET
You clearly don't understand SEC expectations...**
NokieHokie • 06/23/23 08:55 PM ET
No, they want to be on Clemson's level
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/23/23 01:58 PM ET
I wouldn’t compare them in their current roles
Hokie1992 • 06/20/23 08:38 AM ET
Shane stole one of our verbals last year, so he leads "head to head"
EDGEMAN • 06/20/23 07:36 AM ET
^^^👍**
VT757to276 • 06/20/23 02:57 PM ET
That's a loaded question

SemperFiHokie • 06/19/23 10:30 PM ET
Frank is interesting
Seikoh_04 • 06/20/23 10:49 AM ET
there are hindsighters who say he should not have been hired at all
Vienna_Hokie • 06/20/23 01:09 PM ET
You are correct about CFB.
Atlee Hokie • 06/20/23 07:33 AM ET
way too soon to say. If Shane doesn't continue to build, w/l wise on last
lazarus1 • 06/19/23 09:41 PM ET
Shane will always have an advantage due to location, resources and SEC
hokieinparadise • 06/20/23 12:25 AM ET
Spent much time in Columbia? (Wife is from there) Blacksburg winter and
Tuckahokie • 06/20/23 05:55 AM ET
Yeah, not saying Columbia is desirable by any means...
hokieinparadise • 07/28/23 12:21 AM ET
Not a fan of Columbia myself**
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/23/23 01:56 PM ET
USCe will "never" approach the heights that Clemson football has obtained !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/23/23 09:19 PM ET
You may not think the summers in Columbia are not great, but does a 17-19
VTHokie2000 • 06/20/23 11:36 PM ET
Football players don't make their location decisions like normal people do.**
NokieHokie • 06/20/23 09:45 AM ET
Correct...which is even more of a detriment for Blacksburg**
hokieinparadise • 07/28/23 12:23 AM ET
Not at all...**
NokieHokie • 07/28/23 12:24 AM ET
My middle son just graduated from SC.
Will StewartAdmin • 06/20/23 07:22 AM ET
Agree, does absolutely nothing for me, but better weather than Bburg**
hokieinparadise • 07/28/23 12:23 AM ET
Agreed. Blacksburg should be a much better selling point in recruiting
Zanderhokie • 06/20/23 11:26 AM ET
What attracts 17-19 yr old people and especially males?
VTCALS72 • 06/20/23 12:28 PM ET
So true...exactly my point**
hokieinparadise • 07/28/23 12:24 AM ET
the weather is nice and shorts are short **
bigbadbird • 06/21/23 08:33 AM ET
Hey, we agree again! :)**
NokieHokie • 06/20/23 12:34 PM ET
i have one there- he likes it
bigbadbird • 06/20/23 10:28 AM ET
It's pretty terrible **
hokieinparadise • 06/20/23 09:40 AM ET
Yep…been improving a bit in the past decade or so…but will
