Virginia Tech fired head coach Brent Pry on Sunday after an 0-3 start to the season that included an embarrassing 45-26 home loss to Old Dominion on Saturday.Offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery takes over as interim head coach.Pry, 55, went 16-24 in his four seasons as head coach of the Hokies and took the program to a bowl game in each of the past two seasons. They won the Military Bowl after the 2023 season and lost in last season’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl.”We appreciate Coach Pry’s efforts and service since 2021. Unfortunately, the results on the field were not acceptable and a change in leadership is necessary,” Virginia Tech president Tim Sands said in a statement. “… We will continue to fully support our team and student-athletes for the remaining games as we strive together to significantly improve the trajectory of our football program this season.”Before taking over the head coaching job at Virginia Tech, Pry was at Penn State from 2014-21, including the last four seasons as defensive coordinator.The Hokies played a competitive season opener against then-No. 13 South Carolina before falling 24-11. That was followed by a 44-20 home loss to Vanderbilt before Saturday’s loss when Virginia Tech trailed 28-0 at halftime.
