It took just three weeks for Virginia Tech to fire football coach Brent Pry after a dismal 45-26 loss to Old Dominion at home on Sept. 13. Moving on from him was needed, and they are 2-2 under interim coach Philip Montgomery since the move was made.
That was the second domino to fall in the coaching ranks as UCLA also moved on from DeShaun Foster. Since that weekend, Oklahoma State has fired Mike Gundy and Arkansas has fired Sam Pittman. Those are three of the jobs that Virginia Tech is up against in hiring a new coach.
