Evaluating Brent Pry's Future Ahead: The Cost for Virginia Tech
Brent Pry's position as head coach of Virginia Tech is in jeopardy after a disappointing season start, with significant financial implications for the program if he were to be let go.
Brent Pry is under significant pressure as the head coach of Virginia Tech, with the Hokies currently sitting at 0-3 following a humiliating 45-26 defeat against Old Dominion. This loss marks the team’s worst start since 1987, coinciding with the beginning of Frank Beamer’s tenure.
After a 44-20 loss to Vanderbilt, where Virginia Tech conceded 34 points in the second half, the team has struggled, trailing 28-0 against Old Dominion, reflecting a dire situation for Pry.
His current contract, signed in 2021 for six years and $27.5 million, includes a buyout clause that could cost Virginia Tech $6 million if he is terminated after the 2025 season.
The team’s next matchup is against Wofford, essential for Pry’s chances of turning the season around as they approach ACC play.
