PDS = Pry Derangement Syndrome

Amazing how Franklin can go from "Savior" (recruiting turnaround) to "idiot" (Pry hire) in a matter of a few days in the eyes of far too many on here. And can we stop with the "his defenses weren't that good at PSU" stuff? This was pre-NIL and he was facing B10 offenses not Wofford and VMI. There is risk in any hire. Looks like Franklin chose the person he knows and trusts versus a new guy and limited knowledge. This guy operates in a "family" type mode and Pry fits that and has performed for him in the past. He is solving the risk on his DC with this choice. I get it. If our offense puts up points, Brent Pry's job will be much easier. MTH

Nah. It's just the Franklin doubters refocusing their energy

If he hires Bowen as OC, that's it...

I guess it's Ty Howle from Penn State.**

Perhaps PDS may have a menopausal correlation?**

Hadn't thought of that but quite possible. Going to say "yes" based on

Everyone deferred to Pry's judgment & decision-making when he picked Marve
marcbvtgm • 12/09/25 09:39 AM ET
so you're comparing BP's HC experience & decision-making to JF's? right...**
squarerootofone • 12/09/25 09:41 AM ET
I'm comparing the irrational VT message board exuberance of '21 to '25.
