Overview

  • ESPN and other outlets report Virginia Tech has dismissed Pry on Sept. 14 following Saturday’s 45-26 home defeat, with no successor announced in the coverage.
  • Pry departs at 16-24 overall after losses to South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Old Dominion to open 2025, including a 34-0 second‑half run allowed vs. Vanderbilt.
  • His deal, signed in 2021, is a six-year, $27.5 million contract running through Dec. 31, 2027, with base pay climbing to $5 million in 2026 and 2027.
  • Reports estimate the buyout at about $6 million under terms that pay 70% of remaining base salary (50% in the final year), with differing accounts on whether installments are quarterly or monthly; standard offset language could reduce totals if he takes another job.
  • Virginia Tech hosts Wofford next before starting ACC play at NC State, as media and fans speculate about potential replacements without any confirmed candidates.
