Joseph Carl Price (born January 13, 1973) is an American football coach and former player. He was a third round NFL draft pick and the current co-defensive line coach at Virginia Tech.[1] Price was promoted to interim head coach on November 16, 2021, after the firing of Justin Fuente. His team beat rival Virginia 29–24 on the road to become bowl eligible.[2]

New permanent head coach Brent Pry retained Price as the associate head coach and defensive line coach.[3]

Before joining Virginia Tech in 2021, he was an assistant for close to twenty years at Marshall and James Madison.
