Virginia Tech lost to Old Dominion on Saturday gave the Hokies no choice but to fire its head coach, Brent Pry. The 0-3 start was followed by an announcement on Sunday from Virginia Tech's president Tim Sands.

"Unfortunately, the results on the field were not acceptable and a change in leadership is necessary," Sands said in the released statement.
