It was widely known throughout college football that one coach entering the season on the hot seat was Virginia Tech's Brent Pry. After going 16-21 through his first three years in Blacksburg, including a 6-7 2024 season that had high expectations going into it.
Pry hard one of the harder openers for a coach this year who is on the hot seat, facing 13th-ranked South Carolina in Atlanta. The Hokies put up a good fight against the talented Gamecocks before falling 24-11. It wasn't the loss as much as how it happened. Regardless, Pry's seat is extremely hot, some may say scorching hot, ahead of this weekend's home opener against Vanderbilt in what is all of a sudden a must-win game for the fourth-year coach.
