compensation? Regardless of compensation, I hope he has more value than #51. ** Edited by Hokie`79 at 7/8/2025, 10:04:09 AM

Seems to be at least in part based on social media following. Hopefully he starts looking like something better than #51.

We know his downfield acumen is lacking and he is gimpy in the run game. Combined he probably closer to #100.

of whom are 5’11 and 180?

That dude took a lot of punishment, and kept coming back for more. Respect.

Remember him mouthing off before they played us in Cville. He was crushed and sucked. We dominated.

quoted as the following: "After this game versus Tech, after we beat Virginia Tech, this program is going to shoot up and everyone in the country is going to know about us." So, he was dead wrong and got his comeuppance by losing the football game that even if they won, not everyone in the country would know about them. I just find it weird that some middle aged man has deemed this guy a douche, deserving of no respect. Is it possible maybe you're the douche?

When he was a kid, his parents gave him a couple bath toys - a toaster and a radio. ** Edited by KCHokie2 at 7/7/2025, 9:43:03 PM

I don't personally see drones skills being a great fit for how Montgomery has schemed in the past. I do feel that Montgomery is an upgrade in oc scheme. Never understood our game plans in last couple years. We seemed to use games as trials of to figure out what will work. Game plans definitely were not ready for teams we played.

I thought I read where Montgomery recruited or had interest in Drones when he was the Tulsa HC. I don't think he takes a flyer on VT if he doesn't believe he can win with Drones or Watson. I also assume that part of time coming to Blacksburg was Pry giving him free reign to do what he has done best in his career. Could we be in Big 12 style track meets? Maybe, but maybe that is also why Pry picked the DC he picked... if the offense is going to run down the field, maybe the plan is for a defense that is boom or bust. If the offense scores of 6 of 8 drives per game and the defense gets 1-2 turnovers per game... you're winning games like 45-31. Plus, at 53, Montgomery isn't new, but a good year or 2 at VT and he has his name back in contention to be an NCAA HC. Heck, if he has a Top-20 offense in Blacksburg and the team (overall) sputters or otherwise flames out, he'd get an interview. This is especially true if the team starts off poorly and Pry is done by mid-season. If he comes in ... maybe he looks like the Brent Key to our Geoff Collins.

To the strengths of his players, especially the QB

Montgomery has the opportunity to evaluate Drones, but even with that I think everyone knows who he is as a QB at this point. Pry has said as much. I don't know if Drones agrees, but I'm not sure that matters. They'll run the scheme that gives us the best chance to win, and I predict something that looks a lot like Jerod Evans 2.0
