I don't actually see it as high risk....

It wasn't that long ago that Pry was a very good DC. I get the feeling that Pry needs to be pushed to be his best, and I think Franklin will do that. My only concern is that Pry may have too much of an emotional attachment to his guys on the roster going forward to make the changes that we need to get better.

Please, NO. You don't hire your friends.
likehokies • 12/07/25 09:44 AM ET
who says they are friends ? they worked together for like over 10 years**
bigbadbird • 12/07/25 09:51 AM ET
Franklin said it.**
likehokies • 12/07/25 10:04 AM ET
will he have to move?
bigbadbird • 12/07/25 09:34 AM ET
High risk move by Franklin if true. Very high risk.
Hokiefied • 12/07/25 09:26 AM ET
Agreed. If Pry can’t get his s***’together and this goes south

I don't believe "avoiding buyout" factors in at all...if Pry is hired that
fnhokie • 12/07/25 09:47 AM ET
Disagree - High risk would be hiring someone you have never worked with
uber hokie • 12/07/25 09:38 AM ET
So Pry gets fired 2 years in a row vs a fresh start? That’s low risk to u?

fnhokie • 12/07/25 10:00 AM ET
I get that POV but that’s ignoring the risk of the downside
Hokiefied • 12/07/25 09:44 AM ET
Guardrails. Maybe a “Prove it”’contract?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/07/25 10:57 AM ET
Or Pry could be very motivated
HokieFlyFisher • 12/07/25 09:55 AM ET
Franklin and Pry are in the same boat. Each was just fired.
