Full Brent Pry press conference: Virginia Tech formally introduces new head football coach

[@hairyscotman]

Huge Texas Longhorn, here....not even sure why this popped up, but, I'm glad it did....I can't tell you how impressed I am with Coach Brent Pry. He is a "made for Hokie Nation" pick. I wish y'all and Coach Pry all the success possible. I loved it when y'all were always in the mix. Loved Coach Beamer....Best of Luck!!!

[@udotcarter]

From the heart! Love it. Once a Nittany Lion, always a lion. We Are!!! Penn State! VT you’re in great hands.

[@DIM3NSION3223]

The man shed tears! This is the kind of passion I want to see in the HC! Fuente never had that passion.

[@hokiepokie2003]

This is how we know he's the right man for the job!

[@freepizza589]

I think another important thing to mention is he didn't sign on the dotted line until they allocated roughly 60% more salary for assistant/coordinator positions at Virginia Tech. He was able to take one look and see that if Tech wants to ascend from a perennial top-25 program to a perennial top 10~15 program they were going to need a better support structure than what was established under the previous coaching staff. I'm pretty sure we're 2nd in the ACC in money allocated for assistants now just behind Clemson, which is exactly where we need to be if we wanna compete with Dabo for ACC titles.

[@Dan-st9wo]

As a Penn State Fan, VT has become my second favorite team!!! I wish you all years of success!!!

[@benwhite6461]

Fuente sure didn’t have this much passion in his first speech as HC! I’m excited about our new coach!

[@stevenhockensmith3414]

As a PSU fan, this one hurts. Brent is a tremendous coach and more importantly a tremendous man. VT will be very good very soon.

[@BalletomaneM]

This guy gets it, he gets Hokie Nation!!!! I cannot wait to see how far he takes our team!! In the first 3 minutes we've seen more emotion and passion from him than we did for 6 years with Fuente and a true acknowledgement of the Hokie fan community!

[@headparis23]

I played for coach Pry at Vandy ( he was there for the 3 beat years on Vanderbilt history coaching backers. Great coach great man. A players coach. I think he will do a great job Great hire! Rooting for him

[@clthokie]

It seems to me like Pry kept putting an emphasis on "treating people right" and "building relationships". I have a feeling that stuff was missing with previous staff.

[@fatpowerful]

I believe if he can find an OC than can do more than a jet sweep tech will be something close to a top 15 team in a few years.

[@alexotteson3305]

Go Virginia tech from a Penn State fan

[@jason15212]

As an FSU fan I love when VT is good .

[@ThoughtWord]

This guy is legit. The real deal. So glad he's our head coach.

[@CheeseStick69420]

You really get excited about an upcoming 7 win season??

[@ThoughtWord]

@@CheeseStick69420 If it builds into a 9-10 win season in year 2 and runs at conference championships, yup.

[@CheeseStick69420]

@Ron Swanson all yall ever really had was Vick.

[@jabba682]

Happy to have you at VT Good Luck Coach !

[@williamharris5598]

I’m so happy that he’s our coach! Welcome Home Coach Pry! 🏈

[@PhelpsBP8]

I love seeing a coach in a press conference that seems genuine and grateful for the opportunity.

[@jessman8597]

As a Penn State fan, I hate to see him leave Happy Valley. You guys have a phenomenal coach. I wish he was head coach at PSU, but feel good for VA tech. You have the best coach possible.

[@ChristopherSmart_54]

Very excited to see what he does

[@shawnware5451]

As a Wolfpack fan, so happy to see this quality of coach added to the ACC family. Congrats VT.

[@jimbo8deuce]

He appears to be the perfect fit for VT: humble, family man, team first, aggressive, tenacious, and with integrity. Let's hope our future football success bodes as well as this press conference.

[@CP-mb2ge]

Damn -- never heard of Coach Pry, but I love him already. Go Hokies!

[@joshsalmons1867]

He has a coach Schultz from Remember the Titans demeanor.

[@brandonlaird9940]

We will miss you pry at Penn state but good luck in your head coaching job

[@toepow12]

Welcome HOME Coach Pry!!!

[@gregoryazar3007]

Excited about this hire! Go Hokies!

[@jp-lg8kz]

congrats to coach pry...LBU will sure miss you.

[@jonboxleitner7354]

He's a man's man.

[@MsSuperSchultz]

Can't wait to see how he does. I expect big things.

[@anilvirginia]

This is our dude. Great hire! Let's Go!

[@TheOnlyStonemason]

Sounds genuine, hoping for much success!

As a penn state fan you got a great hire.

[@jimbo8deuce]

I love how he used air quotes on "the vaunted Hurricanes" regarding Miami. Go Hokies!

[@joshuaalexander8327]

And when was the last time tech beat Miami???

[@jimbo8deuce]

@@joshuaalexander8327 2019. But this one was by far my favorite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maPLiIOVlMxglcU

[@joshuaalexander8327]

@Ron Swanson you lost multiple times to Manny Diaz 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheJackguerra]

Wait, where's the crunching water bottle? ;)

[@rebeccaclemons1509]

Looks to be a great fit for VT. Welcome Coach Pry

[@jimkidwell4855]

I like this guy !!!

[@johngault6218]

Better get ready for disappointment coach. Being disappointed is what it means to be a VT fan.

[@xianwuxing]

This coach is at a great disadvantage by getting started so late. Finding a good OC will be tough. If he can hire a good OC he will be successful. I liked his defenses at Penn St.

[@Blacksheep-uy3qv]

Feels like a hokie talking! Might have left for a little bit but he's back home! Welcome!

[@xero925]

Yall gotta be patient. Man needs to build a program.

[@versed-voting-vet]

The dude is sharp as $hit. He is ready.

[@jeffreygerard8953]

Grizzly guy, not clean cut. Doesn’t look like a salesman. I don’t see him being able to out-recruit UVA. He’s already giving scholarships to guys who have no other offers from any school. Or they might have an offer from a school like Old Dominion or Coastal Carolina. Whit Babcock needs to go. You get your first shot at Old Dominion not Virginia Tech.

[@williamseale]

Never even heard of this guy or that Virginia tech even fired there old coach lmao. That must be how bad of shape that program is in lmao 😂

[@anilvirginia]

Also Whit is lame. Time to move on from him.

[@KingLeoVT]

And yet he made several Great hires to improve the VT athletic programs and raised money to improve the faculties to. Even the Fuente hire was beneficial. 3 seasons of 8 or more wins and Fuente pushed for those faculty improvements. Yeah, we should DEFINITELY get rid of Whit because he's..."lame".. 😒

[@anilvirginia]

@@KingLeoVT He was hired in 2014. Look at our history since then. It's been a culture in decline. I don't care if you think these were great hires. Your definition of great is off and doesn't take into account the trajectory VT athletics was on vice the trajectory we're on now. Accepting mediocrity is BS friend.

[@KingLeoVT]

@@anilvirginia "look at our history since then".. You must only pay attention to Football cause since 2014, VT mens Basketball have improved TREMENDOUSLY.. VT wrestling is a Beast! The women Basketball Team is much better. I can seriously keep going and get more into details.. But I have a feeling you only care about 1 thing rather then seeing the whole picture. And I can't tell someone like "go do research".. because they wouldn't know where to start. Pretty lame if you ask me, but ok.

[@anilvirginia]

@@KingLeoVT That's great and all about wrestling but if we're being honest about why an AD gets paid, it's about revenue producing sports. Thanks for all the condescension fellow Hokie! Now go watch some Tech women's lacrosse. 😂

[@KingLeoVT]

@@anilvirginia I've name more then just wrestling, but again.. You clearly like to stick to 1 sport.. All you have to do is a little research. But I'm now starting to see it to much for you and I don't want you ending up in the hospital from using your brain to much fellow Hokie. Have a blessed one and happy holidays

[@themayor6836]

Who the frick is Brent Pry??? Bad move very bad move

[@KingLeoVT]

You must be a UVA fan.. Do some research before making an ignorant statement.
