Or Pry could be very motivated

to prove he is a top Defensive Coordinator. He may accept the fact that he is not head coach worthy but work his ass off to show he knows defense. The current players may accept him as DC even if they didn’t embrace him as the head honcho. A couple of things mentioned could happen to any DC, such as key players getting hurt or young players not living up to their ratings. Pry had some top 10 defenses at PSU, which was the main reason he was hired by VT. I trust Franklin to make it work.

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
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/07/25 10:53 AM ET
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?
Hokiefied • 12/07/25 10:07 AM ET
well said!**
fnhokie • 12/07/25 09:59 AM ET
I don't actually see it as high risk....
TekkNerd • 12/07/25 09:34 AM ET
and better talent here...and that is a given..will help**
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?

HokieFlyFisher • 12/07/25 09:55 AM ET
Franklin and Pry are in the same boat. Each was just fired.
