Do we have money to fire him before the end of the season?

Can't afford not to in my opinion. He needs to be gone tomorrow.

We have to stop being penny-wise and pound foolish
If we cant afford his nominal buyout lets move on. $6m should not hold up a serious program.

Jimbo will cover it with his A$M money when VT hires him

Per CBS, I think it's $6 million if we wait.

$6M is not much considering the team payroll is $20.5 PER YEAR......+ NIL..
He's got to go......

What CBS Sports states
[Brent] Pry signed a six-year, $27.5 million contract in 2021 that runs through 2027. His base salary for this year is $4.75 million, with a raise pushing him to $5 million per year for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The buyout provision in Pry's contract states that he's owed 70% of the base salary remaining on his contract, except for the final year of his deal, where Virginia Tech would only owe him 50% of his base salary. That means if he were to be fired after the 2025 season, Virginia Tech would owe him $6 million -- $3.5 million for 2026 and $2.5 million for 2027 -- which they would pay in equal monthly installments through the end of 2027.

What a deal Ricky Rahne or Clark Lea would have been. Both hired
around same time.

Rahne has been mediocre at best and Clark Lea had to hire another head
coach and bring his whole team with him to have any success. Granted that was smart but without Kill and Pavia Lea would field a bad team.

Clark Lea understood his deficiencies and corrected
What’s the difference between what he did & Frank did in 1993? Plus he’s making less than Pry.

He did and I commend him for that but is he going to be able to replace
Kill and Pavia? I seriously doubt it.
