It was well-known that Brent Pry was on a very warm seat entering this season, but that seat feels like a full inferno at this point after an 0-2 start headlined by a 34-0 second half collapse against Vanderbilt on their way to a 44-20 defeat.
This came during a week where Brent Pry was given the best odds to be the first Power 4 coach fired this season, according to Vegas oddsmakers. During the second half embarrassment, one of college football's foremost insiders Ross Dellenger posted this on X about the situation in Blacksburg.
After the loss to Vanderbilt, I asked Brent Pry about the hot seat pressure that is growing around him and whether he is feeling it or not. Here is what he had to say.
It’s all about the money. The NIL is killing Tech. I’ll give you one glaring example. JMU! Huge student activity fee of over $1000 per student. Tech is no where close. Every State school should be the same fee. FB, BB and WBB will all fail miserably if the bucks aren’t available.
My opinion! At least I expressed one!
