Virginia Tech football: Interim or not — this is an opportunity of a lifetime for J.C. Price

J.C. Price came to Virginia Tech back in 1991 as a two-star tight end from Dunkirk, Maryland. Price, who was listed at 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, would eventually move to the defensive side of the ball and become an All-American and future NFL draft pick at defensive tackle.

Now, Price is the interim head coach of Virginia Tech after the Hokies and Justin Fuente mutually agreed to part ways earlier in the week.

Price was hired earlier this year as a co-defensive line coach and defensive recruiting coordinator; he spent the previous nine seasons with the Marshall Thundering Herd as a defensive line coach and defensive coordinator.
