Overview

  • The dismissal came less than a day after a 45-26 home loss to Old Dominion that dropped the Hokies to 0-3.
  • Virginia Tech is off to its first 0-3 start since 1987, and Pry departs with a 16-24 record over four seasons.
  • President Tim Sands cited unacceptable on-field results in announcing the change in leadership.
  • Offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery, a former Tulsa head coach and Auburn offensive coordinator, takes over as interim.
  • Reports indicate the buyout will be paid in roughly $750,000 quarterly installments through 2027, and the school has opened a formal coaching search as it prepares to host Wofford.
