×BLACKSBURG — Brent Pry opened his tenure at Virginia Tech in 2022 with a loss at Old Dominion.

It ended with a thud on Saturday night in a home loss to the Monarchs.

Pry was fired Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Hokies were embarrassed for the second consecutive week at home. A 45-26 loss to ODU at Lane Stadium — his first setback to the Monarchs since the 2022 opener — served as the bookend of Pry’s tenure in Blacksburg.

"Unfortunately, the results on the field were not acceptable and a change in leadership is necessary," Virginia Tech President Tim Sands said in a press release.

Sands also announced offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery will serve as the interim coach.
