When Virginia Tech fired Brent Pry following a Week 3 loss at home to Old Dominion, it didn't come as a surprise. The Hokies fell to 0-3 and looked like a team that was checked out, even though the season was just three weeks old.
As soon as the move happened, Virginia Tech formed a search committee to find the next head coach, and this was a hire that they needed to nail. They needed to find the right guy to turn around a program that has been looking to get back to the Frank Beamer days.
