They're the official heating and cooling company of the junkies.

Brent Pry was driven out of the coaching business by his own record.

At least out of the head coaching business. Yes. He'll get a defensive coordinator. Nice man. Maybe. Guests on the show a bunch of times. We're rooting for him, but we lose the old dominion. I mean, if I, if I were him, the first thing I would do is just go tell my family, hey, I got six million coming my way. Let's go to the beach for a month. Okay, let's just like, just decompress. You don't need to obviously get back into coaching, try to get it this season. That's crazy. Unplug, take a little time. Well, he didn't need the money. He was making 4.8 for four years. He's fine. He's got plenty of money.

Just reassess things. I mean, what do you make? What's wrong? No, but you're at decompress. I think Dan Quinn said that's what we did. He was making a million or a million a half as defensive coordinator at Penn State. Yeah. No, but you're right. Quinn said he didn't want to just jump right back into something. Take that extended vacation. He had a little break and then he, he ended up being coordinator for the cowboys. Go to your lake house wherever you own it. Right. And just chill. Or go to the beach. One of the two things. How disappointing was this run for Pry? Well, scale 1 to 10, 10. When you get fired in your four of a six-year deal, of course, it's disappointing.

Is it just not a great spot anymore?

Well, it's definitely not a great spot.

It's one of the worst teams right now, one of the worst programs and power four.

Well, the problem is it's never going to reach the heights it once did if you're if you

acknowledge that they're they're not in the game financially right that's a huge issue they're

not in the game financially they're no longer in the business of competing correct for what the

fans feel like they should be competing a good season for virginia tech now based on the resources

that they have is seven or eight wins yeah i. I mean. To win an ACC championship unless they just somehow they get a lot of money in there, they can start paying better players to come in. It's just not going to happen. I mean, Hokie's fans couldn't wait to get rid of Justin Fuente, and he won 58% of his games. Their last... Their last 10-win season was 2016.

2017, they were 9 and 4.

20.

Since then, 2018, 6 and 7.

2019, 8 and 5, 2025 and 6.
