??? Had the talent
Who knows what was around him providing support. I wasn’t there. The rub on Franklin was couldn’t get them over the hump. Maybe, just maybe , his loyalty to folks like Pry was the the issue-don’t know- what I do know is Pry showed no coaching leadership characteristics while at VT. Some of the worst playcalling and defenses I have seen at Tech. I just don’t see a good coach in him/ good person, yes. - a good friend , yes. A good coach, hell no

Seems silly to pay Pry top 4 DC money when that’s just not what he is…
