Brent Pry releases statement on Brad Glenn leaving Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry wishes Brad Glenn all the best as he moves on from Blacksburg. Glenn, who spent this past season as the quarterbacks coach for the Hokies, was hired as offensive coordinator at Cincinnati on Tuesday.

“I want to congratulate Brad Glenn on his new opportunity at Cincinnati as offensive coordinator,” Pry said in a statement. “I realize the longstanding relationship Brad has with coach (Scott) Satterfield from his time at Appalachian State. We are thankful for Brad and support him in this career opportunity. We are appreciative of his family’s time with the Hokies. I wish them all the best!”

Virginia Tech finished 3-8 this past season in Pry’s first year with the team. With Glenn leading the passing game, the Hokies finished 13th in the ACC with an average of 203.3 air yards per game.

Glenn joins the first staff at Cincinnati for Satterfield, who took over after Luke Fickell left for Wisconsin. The two worked together closely at Appalachian State from 2005-08 when Satterfield coached the quarterbacks and Glenn the tight ends and receivers.

When Satterfield left after the 2008 season, Glenn took over as quarterbacks coach and stayed in the role until 2011. He worked with quarterback Armanti Edwards, who became the first two-time winner of the Walter Payton Award, presented annually to the nation’s top FCS player. Edwards was also the first quarterback in NCAA history to pass for over 10,000 yards and run for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career.

Brad Glenn is the replacement for Tom Manning, who left Cincinnati for a tight ends coach job with the Indianapolis Colts. He takes over for a Bearcats offense that ranked eighth in the AAC this past season with 29.2 points per game.

Before Virginia Tech, Glenn was an offensive coordinator at Georgia State and Western Carolina.
