Virginia Tech fired coach Brent Pry following his team's 0-3 start, the program announced Sunday. The decision comes after the Hokies' 45-26 home loss to Old Dominion , which was the third straight by double digits.
After surrendering 34 unanswered points at home during a loss to Vanderbilt in Week 2, Virginia Tech dropped to 16-24 under Pry and have been disastrous on defense.
"Unfortunately, the results on the field were not acceptable and a change in leadership is necessary," Virginia Tech president Tim Sands released in a statement. "Philip Montgomery will serve as interim head coach. We will continue to fully support our team and student-athletes for the remaining games as we strive together to significantly improve the trajectory of our football program this season."
