When Brent Pry was fired following Virginia Tech's Week 3 loss at home to Old Dominion, Philip Montgomery was named the interim coach for the rest of the season. He was tasked with keeping the ship upright for the rest of the year.
So far, so good. The Hokies are 2-0 under Montgomery with wins over Wofford and North Carolina State. They will look for a third straight against Wake Forest this weekend. If there is one takeaway from the last two weeks, it's that Montgomery and the coaching staff have the players' attention.
