No coach is safe the Sunday after college football games, but a coach that is 0-3 to start the season and just lost to Old Dominion certainly isn't safe. Virginia Tech decided to move on from head coach Brent Pry after starting 0-3 on the season, and it could be for all sorts of reasons.
The biggest reason for Pry's firing this early on in the season is because of how bad the Hokies have performed, but there are other reasons out there as well. Firing a head coach before the fourth week of the season allows guys to still preserve their redshirt going forward.
