Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry looks on after an NCAA college football game against Old Dominion, Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, in Blacksburg, Va.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech fired football coach Brent Pry on Sunday after the program stumbled to its first 0-3 start since 1987.

The school announced the move a day after the Hokies fell behind 31-0 on the way to a 45-26 home loss to Old Dominion.

In a statement, school president Tim Sands said the change was “necessary” due to on-field results described as “not acceptable” as Pry reached his fourth season.

“Blacksburg will always hold a special place in our hearts,” Pry said in his own statement. “We leave with wonderful memories and lifelong friendships, and we will forever be cheering for the Hokies.”

Offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery will serve as interim coach.
