Ok I don’t think the Pry hire as DC is a good idea. Why not just have a
uvabasher • 12/07/25 11:04 PM ET
Great hire! Pry was a great DC at PSU. Adds continuity to the coaching
hokiecamper • 12/08/25 09:30 AM ET
I agree. He's a good guy, but our D was bad the past few years.
HokieKanger • 12/08/25 08:41 AM ET
Glad you got this off your Chest..
JRHokie • 12/08/25 06:26 AM ET
Time we accept and move forward. **

HokiesACC2004 • 12/08/25 05:24 AM ET
From the start I questioned if this could happen.**
MikeVT85 • 12/08/25 02:46 AM ET
Agreed.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:26 AM ET
Let's complete the circus and bring back Fuente as our OC**
HokieBrazil • 12/08/25 01:18 AM ET
Re-uniting the PSU band at VT isn’t my favorite move. **
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 01:13 AM ET
It is common for coaches to take part of their staff to new jobs.
HokieFlyFisher • 12/08/25 10:30 AM ET
There's nothing common about this whole scenario
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 11:21 AM ET
Not repeating the same formula at all. So many on this board cannot accept
HokieFlyFisher • 12/08/25 11:37 AM ET
You obviously don't understand what repeating the formula means
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 01:08 PM ET
Pry is a good man and a good coach. Franklin's decision. I love it. **
Blueboy • 12/08/25 12:15 AM ET
Good coach? His time at VT showed just the opposite.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:57 AM ET
Good coach but bad CEO**
OrlandoHokie • 12/08/25 11:55 AM ET
Bad at both.
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 09:18 PM ET
Pry Hire
grg • 12/08/25 11:32 AM ET
Surely you know the difference between being a head coach and a coordinator
SCHokie1103 • 12/08/25 09:13 AM ET
DC at a program with much better talent is not a true indicator.
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 09:16 PM ET
Successful coordinator for years and knows how Franklin tics, I'm good
summervillehokie • 12/08/25 06:54 AM ET
Yep. Pry’s a bad head coach but a good defensive coordinator.
Zanderhokie • 12/08/25 10:32 AM ET
Is he that good? PSU D didn't slip w/o him. #9,#3,#6 in PPG after he left
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 11:35 AM ET
PSU not slipping in D rankings
HokieFlyFisher • 12/08/25 02:32 PM ET
Maybe. Maybe not. The point is it's not a slam dunk he's that great.
marcbvtgm • 12/08/25 05:34 PM ET
Exactly. He did not help the Defense mess, either as the HC or co-DC.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 09:23 PM ET
Yeah I don’t like that idea. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/07/25 11:42 PM ET
I think the idea of a GM managing hires vs the HC was a good idea. But we
40ozDistrict • 12/07/25 11:14 PM ET
No his GM is Andy Frank he brought down From PSU day one to help with
SCHokie1103 • 12/08/25 08:56 AM ET
The head coach has to make all of the coaching hires...
HokiesOverGators • 12/07/25 11:29 PM ET
Well you can end up with the buddy system. Need a GM to temper that chit.
40ozDistrict • 12/07/25 11:32 PM ET
That's not how it works in College.**
TheFacts • 12/08/25 08:38 AM ET
Yes he would fire him in a heartbeat if warranted **
