I’m pulling for Pry to do well as DC for many reasons.

I'm surprised there hasn't even been a peep from the TSL staff about Pry.
MKD • 12/07/25 08:31 PM ET
CC has chimed in on it on the Sub board.**
Nortazhokie • 12/08/25 08:52 AM ET
I found his comments. Thanks**
MKD • 12/08/25 09:02 AM ET
Did he? I didn't see it. What time did he make a post?**
MKD • 12/08/25 08:55 AM ET
8:24 this morning. Several posts of his in that thread.**
Nortazhokie • 12/08/25 09:24 AM ET
Did Bruce Arians OK this?
MikeVT85 • 12/08/25 03:00 AM ET
Has anyone checked to see if Justin Fuente is available too?**
BigDave • 12/07/25 10:59 PM ET
Make Frank B. the AD.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:47 AM ET
the benefits of hiring Pry may yet play out
lazarus1 • 12/07/25 08:41 PM ET
The point is not to save money. It is to have a good defense.
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:39 AM ET
Got enough recruiters- need someone who knows football. Pry ain’t it.**
Warsaw Hokie • 12/07/25 09:23 PM ET
You are correct. Defense sucked while he was here.**
VTpartimer • 12/07/25 11:00 PM ET
Defense AND recruiting, and staff management.
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:33 AM ET
WOW!!! Thanks for your football insight, Mr. Saban!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/07/25 09:51 PM ET
How do you know this?**
3Manysons • 12/07/25 09:34 PM ET
I don't think you can EVER d
lazarus1 • 12/07/25 09:26 PM ET
you can . not have enough xs and os guys fhough **
Hokiehotdog • 12/07/25 09:29 PM ET
Unless he's willing to work for free
HokieinSD • 12/07/25 08:58 PM ET
If he has an offset, whatever VT pays him will go toward that. Financially
reestuart • 12/07/25 09:20 PM ET
Or if Pry had gone and failed as HC at some other P4 school
Pylons • 12/07/25 10:49 PM ET
I agree **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/08/25 05:26 AM ET
It feels like a really big win for VT. **
reestuart • 12/07/25 11:08 PM ET
Feels like a bad decision.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:34 AM ET
Yeah, part of why we like getting Franklin is the success he had with Pry
Pylons • 12/07/25 11:18 PM ET
Agreed. If they are that close, and have and can work well together, why
reestuart • 12/07/25 11:20 PM ET
It is just really really weird. You fire the CEO and then make him a VP.**
BigDave • 12/07/25 10:56 PM ET
It's absolutely weird and seemingly unprecedented.
Pylons • 12/07/25 11:00 PM ET
the tough part of this is ..
lazarus1 • 12/07/25 09:24 PM ET
The problem I see it is we're not successful, he'll be the one people blame
VANESSAHOKIE • 12/07/25 10:25 PM ET
We'll find out.**
Bburg Mac • 12/08/25 01:41 AM ET
Part of the blame has to be with the AD and BOV
Marooned • 12/07/25 10:38 PM ET
pry seems like a team player**
Windows NT • 12/07/25 09:48 PM ET
Good life lesson to share. I failed, found my place, up and running. **
40ozDistrict • 12/07/25 09:46 PM ET
^^^THIS^^^**
seacain • 12/07/25 09:30 PM ET
The weirdness is tough to shake, but if he can handle it, I think this
reestuart • 12/07/25 09:27 PM ET
My feelings exactly. It’s weird but Franklin’s decision. Obviously we all

reestuart • 12/07/25 11:16 PM ET
Yeah we have to trust Jame Frankling at this point.**
VANESSAHOKIE • 12/07/25 10:26 PM ET
If so, that’s bulls—-. His buyout is to compensate him for future years.
HwoodHokie • 12/07/25 09:10 PM ET
What’s BS?
Pride_and_Joy • 12/07/25 09:41 PM ET
The post HwoodHokie was replying to suggested that Pry would be paid...
MP4VT2004 • 12/08/25 07:31 AM ET
Ah, missed that. I’m sure that would not be the case. **
Pride_and_Joy • 12/08/25 09:47 AM ET
Exactly. A former successful P2 DC. For zero net dollars. **
reestuart • 12/07/25 11:18 PM ET
Who also loves VT. **
Pride_and_Joy • 12/08/25 09:46 AM ET
I can see where it could get sideways very quickly, but I also think
reestuart • 12/08/25 09:49 AM ET
If there is an offset to his buyout, I agree. That was my point.**
HwoodHokie • 12/07/25 10:23 PM ET
Winner winner chicken dinner!**
40ozDistrict • 12/07/25 09:51 PM ET
Next season I believe IS future year. There will likely be some adjustment.
lazarus1 • 12/07/25 09:21 PM ET
I have to believe his buyout will be offset by any salary VT pays him...
MP4VT2004 • 12/07/25 09:28 PM ET
if (a BIG IF) VT makes the playoffs, then it's a great decision
