No way Deshaun Fosters job survives this season.  

Well that escalated quickly.

Virginia Tech fire Brent Pry after 0-3 start. He is getting nearly 7mill to go away. That's great $ to fail so bad. This will also decimate the recruiting cycle too.

They had to do something. I mean, they looked like possibly the worst power conference team in the country. They're not just 0-3. They've lost every game by two scores averaging a near 20 point deficit per loss and seem to be getting worse every week having just lost by 19 to Old Dominion. That level of play is gonna decimate your recruiting a lot more than pulling the plug on it.

I was surprised to see Tech suck that bad.

It gets worse too. Since he started the defense regressed. Especially linebacker, his specialty. The who defense regressed, but it's without doubt the worst LB corp I've seen at VT. 

I doubt they have the same level of guys jumping ship right now as last year: last year the good starters left, and they have maybe 2 guys worth a damn to be picked. So this group is young and moldable for the next guys to use. 

But in a time of P2 and a wantabe P3 after that, to look this bad in the sport that matters in realignment sucks as a grad. I'm hoping they can get back to a top 4 ACC team before the next big power shift and sneek in to the P2, but it's doubtful now and the AD is to blame but his sorry ass is still at VT though 2 terrible hires.

Being there for the 2003-2008 years was something else, but that's now gone and maybe buried for a long while.

Yeah, with the ACC facing near certain implosion in the coming years now is not the time to look pathetic.
