It has been almost 50 days since Virginia Tech fired Brent Pry following a disappointing Week 3 loss at home to Old Dominion. Interim coach Philip Montgomery has the Hokies playing better football and is 3-2 since taking over, but the school has hired a search committee to find the next coach.
There are plenty of names that are available and will become available that the committee would love to bring to Blacksburg as the next head coach. The committee has signed NDAs, according to Andy Bitter of Tech Sideline, which is going to make it harder for rumors to get out, but that hasn't stopped some of the rumors from beginning already.
