It was quite the debut for new Virginia Tech football coach Brent Pry

The goal for Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock in his head-coaching search that ended earlier this week when he hired former Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry was to find the right fit.

Pry was introduced to Hokie Nation on Thursday morning, and it’s clear — he’s the right fit.

Yes, Pry won the press conference. And, no, that does not matter. But Pry showed, in 30 minutes, what former Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente never displayed in almost six full years in charge.

Pry expressed gratitude to several people, including Penn State coach James Frankin, who he said was like a “brother” to him.
