Virginia Tech football coaching search further complicated by SEC firing

Virginia Tech has a search committee in place to hire the next football coach after Brent Pry was fired last month. Just where the committee goes in search of its next coach remains to be seen.

Last Sunday, a wrinkle in the coaching search was thrown at the committee when Penn State fired James Franklin. That moved the Nittany Lions right up to the top of the list for an opening this coaching cycle.

This Sunday could be an eventful day in terms of coaching moves, with several coaches on the hot seat, and that was the case with another job opening in the SEC when Florida fired Billy Napier.
