In a move that is expected to shake up the Virginia Tech football program, head coach Brent Pry has announced a major overhaul of the team’s coaching staff and responsibilities. The changes are part of Pry’s bold new vision for the program, which aims to bring a fresh perspective and renewed energy to the team.
Coaching Staff Changes
According to sources close to the program, Pry has made several key changes to the coaching staff. Jens Danielsen has been brought in as the new assistant offensive line coach, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his time at West Virginia and Baylor. Cannon Montgomery has been named assistant running backs coach, while Jireh Wilson will take on the role of edges coach. Bryan Whitehead has been appointed nickels coach, bringing a new level of expertise to the team’s defensive unit.
Responsibility Shuffle
In addition to the coaching staff changes, Pry has also shuffled responsibilities among the existing staff. Brent Davis will now focus on tight ends, Shawn Quinn will take on outside linebackers, and Xavier Adibi will lead the inside linebackers. These changes are designed to create a more streamlined and efficient coaching structure, allowing the team to better utilize their strengths and address areas of weakness.
Pry’s Vision for the Future
According to Pry, the changes are part of a larger vision to build a more dynamic and adaptable team. “We’re excited about the new additions to our staff and the fresh perspectives they’ll bring,” Pry said. “We’re committed to creating a culture of excellence and accountability, and we believe these changes will help us achieve that goal.”
Reaction from the Team
The reaction from players and staff has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing excitement about the new energy and ideas that the changes will bring. As the team prepares to hit the field for spring practice, there’s a sense of anticipation and optimism about what the future holds for Virginia Tech football.
With these changes, the Virginia Tech Hokies are poised to make a statement in the upcoming season. Will these changes be enough to propel the team to new heights? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Coach Pry’s bold new vision is set to shake things up in Blacksburg.
