It was no secret that Brent Pry was beginning the 2025 season on the hot seat. Heck, even ESPN placed athletic director Whit Babcock on the hot seat with him, which would make sense.

It has become a common theme during his tenure in Blacksburg. After the 13-point loss, where is Pry's hot seat entering a week that feels like a must-win?
