After releasing the transcript of my exclusive one-on-one interview with Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry last week, I am releasing the transcript of my one-on-one interview with offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery today. I want to once again thank Brent Pry, Philip Montgomery, and Sam Siefkes for taking the time to sit down with me and discuss the state of the VT Football program entering the summer.
During our conversation, Montgomery and I discussed the implementation of his new offense, the integration of Kyron Drones into the system, the QB room as a whole after the addition of Oklahoma State's Garret Rangel, where things stand on the offensive line, the new spring offensive transfer portal additions, his time in the UFL, and more.
I will note that like my interview transcript with Pry, my questions will be abbreviated for brevity and ease of reading while Montgomery's answers will be provided in full.
With that said, let's jump into my exclusive one-on-one interview with Philip Montgomery.
TT: Where is Kyron Drones at in terms of his integration into your offense?
PM: “I think he's really done a great job with it. I've been very pleased with his progress. I think he has been kind of reinvigorated from that standpoint. I think he loves to learn. Obviously, some of the things that we do are different, the way we're approaching it, the way we're looking at it. I think he likes some of the freedom that he has within it. It's a quarterback-friendly offense, but you've got a lot on your plate, you've got to be able to have your eyes in the right spot, you've got to see rotations, you've got to see what they're doing from a defensive standpoint, and then being able to adjust and be able to attack with that mindset.”
