Here's my ideal trajectory for the Hokies football program under Coach Pry:

2022: clear out all the junk (i.e. get rid of any players who don't fit the system, don't want to be here, or anyone who's just a malcontent in general). Play hard, fundamental football, back to the basics. Tackle someone. Go 6-6 if possible. Hit the recruiting class out of the park.

2023: Winning record, get back to a bowl game. Ideally, win the bowl.

2024: Win the ACC Coastal Division, make a major bowl game.

2025: Win the ACC, make the playoff. Might be a pipe dream, but this would be the year Pry would have all of his own recruits on the field. Might as well set our sights high.

Frankly I don't think there are many malcontents on the team -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 6:01PM

I think you may be rushing things a bit -- culpmania 01/01/2022 5:45PM

It can be done quickly. Arkansas had back to back 2-10 seasons -- Zanderhokie 01/01/2022 7:05PM

That's fine for steady state -- OldRetiredHokie 01/01/2022 5:00PM

1. Dominate in state recruiting 2. Beat UVA 3. Develop and retain players -- HokieAl 01/01/2022 4:53PM

We might make the playoffs if we win the ACC, but… -- Mr. Touchdown 01/01/2022 4:33PM

It’s gonna take Pry 2-3 years to get to 8-9 wins in a season -- cvillehokie07 01/01/2022 4:32PM

3 more plays and Fu would have won 9 this year ... hopefully Pry makes them ** -- DGHOKIE 01/01/2022 6:20PM

Those expectations are pretty much par for college football, in general. -- UEMcGill 01/01/2022 4:31PM

Clemson will win the Atlantic next year...and probably the ACC again. -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 4:39PM

Did you hear Dabo's post game interview -- culpmania 01/01/2022 7:27PM

Definitely didn't play well -- crazylane 01/01/2022 5:05PM

Tony is no longer at Clemson, so... ** -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 6:03PM

I was referring to DJ's struggles in 2021 -- crazylane 01/01/2022 6:40PM

We'll see. Two new coordinators is going to be interesting. Besides, -- UEMcGill 01/01/2022 4:56PM

The Atlantic, but I get your message. I think if Miami ever gets a coach.. -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 6:05PM

Yeah, Miami is the potential dominator on our side. Will Cristobal -- UEMcGill 01/01/2022 6:33PM

If we go undefeated in the ACC, we're playoff bound. -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 4:29PM

Maybe.... only maybe ** -- OldRetiredHokie 01/01/2022 5:01PM

Pretty sure we would be in, but 1 loss will keep us out. ** -- EDGEMAN 01/01/2022 6:08PM

Any wins next year will be a bonus. Looking ahead to year 3 I hope we're... -- Major Kong 01/01/2022 4:16PM

Year 3? Pitt, Miami, UVA and UNC isn’t exactly murderers row. ** -- Jeffroww 01/01/2022 4:22PM

We're a mess right now. I'd say the 'Hoos are ahead of us at this... -- Major Kong 01/01/2022 5:29PM

No "minimum wins" expectations for 2022 or 2023 ... -- MaryWashGrad 01/01/2022 4:06PM
