Virginia Tech head football coach Brent Pry may have a star on his coaching staff. Wide receivers coach Fontel Mines received a two-year extension this week and a pay raise. Mines went from making $275K per year to $425K per year, per Doug Bowman of 247Sports. That is a nice pay bump for the young coach.
Mines was receiving attention from other Power 5 schools after only one season with the Hokies. The former UVA wide receiver has coached at Richmond, James Madison, East Carolina and Old Dominion before Pry hired him as VT’s WRs coach last offseason.
