It’s about that time of year when I start to crave some VT football content. This was great!!
Monster Penn State fan here. Va Tech is a strong second now with Pry. Wish him the very best.
Became a VT fan the moment they hired Coach Pry. Pulling for those boys!

Hokies!!!
As a PSU fan I have a deep respect for Coach Pry. Enjoying the Pods.You're doing great work #81
The way Pry talks about VT football gets me pumped up to run through a brick wall. Can't wait to see how he rebuilds this thing to where we once were. Go Hokies!!!
The beginning of this gave me chills because he truly gets what VT football was… he is striving to make us what we were and as always GO HOKIES!
Gotta get another interview with Coach Pry before the 2024 season. I would love to see the difference. High hopes this next season.
What a podcast. Totally impressed. Hokie fan but Adam killed it. You have a fan sir
I don’t know you, but you’ve got a new subscriber. You did an absolutely fantastic job with Coach Pry. Keep getting after it!
Awesome pod with Coach Pry. I love hearing him talk about Tech and his plans to bring them back
I was sorry to see him leave Penn State, but I’m happy to see he’s glad to be there. Hope he does well
Excellent interview. Thank you for sharing! We are a Hokie Nation. So pleased to have Coach Pry on board!
Fuente didn’t send a coach to Vick’s high school for over 6 years?! I knew he sucked at recruiting but good lord

Yeah, crazy right? You'd think Beamer, Bud or one of the past players who was now on his coaching staff would say something.
And he landed numero uno on the 2024 board today Keylen Brodie Adams

I think they've done everything they can do to recruit him, I'm just curious to see how it plays out. He's from so close by that it could be that he simply wants to get away from home for college.

Accountability, communication, competition, details, hard work, sacrifice, have fun…that culture he describes around the 19:00 minute mark are truly words to live by. Made my 9 year old son watch this part and used it to explain to him why I’m always stressing table manners: DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS. Preach coach! Another great interview, Adam, keep ‘em coming!
PSU fan, but nothing but the best to Coach Pry! AB bringing it!
Amazing job Adam! Love listening to Coach Pry. He always gets me fired up. Go Hokies!!!
This was really awesome. Great interview! Pry is so easy to root for and support.
Your interviews never disappoint. Love listening on my commute from Altoona to State College every morning.
Western Carolina alumni right here. Pry coached my former D coordinator at WCU
We need a year two interview 🤞🏻
This was phenomenal

he arrives when the ACC is either imploding or stupidly adding west coast schools. he might get the team better but will be playing in the sunbelt conference in 2 years.
