Virginia Tech’s Former Defensive Guru Suddenly Elevated — What This Means for the Future of Football
When Virginia Tech hired Brent Pry to replace Justin Fuente as the Hokies’ head coach ahead of the 2022 season, he was proud to hire one of his former players, Chris Marve, to be his new defensive coordinator. The Virginia Tech job was special to Pry, having gone to high school nearby and serving three seasons as a graduate assistant under Frank Beamer in the 1990s.
Marve was a former three-time All-SEC linebacker at Vanderbilt and played his final season under new head coach James Franklin and Pry. Pry developed a close relationship with Marve, and when he landed his first head coaching job, he gave Marve his first defensive coordinator job.
