Defensive coordinator hire?
I don’t think things went as planned for Pry with the defensive coordinator position. Is it really possible they’ll fill the role internally? A sports podcaster mentioned that Pry is definitely on the warm seat—if not the hot seat—and any candidate would likely want a minimum 3-year contract as a safety net in case VT decides to fire him.

that unless something really falls apart, CBP is here for at least 2 and probably 3 more year even at the 6-7 win level.

At this point it’s either a home run or a strike out, IMO.
The former would be the case if it’s someone from one of the teams still playing in the playoffs ND/OSU/NFL.
The latter would be that no one wants a 1 year stint with a probable lame duck head coach. Unfortunately this is the more likely scenario, since next year has less talent and a harder schedule. I’m not a betting man but would put my money on Quinn.

I seriously doubt it's a DC with a team still playing the CFP or NFL playoffs. That would be a HR - and was never really a realistic possibility. But it could very well be a non-DC at that level. And in my mind, that would likely not be a HR, but not a K either. Or it could be that VT is discussions with more than one person who is neither a HR or K, but all parties are still not ready to commit.

100% agree. I wasn’t implying we’d seriously be in line for the ND/OSU DC
or similar. A linebackers coach at one of those schools or a good NFL team would be a home run for this program.

I'm not sure I would call an NFL or college "blue blood" position coach, a HR hire. But perhaps that's just semantics.

Sort of marginal bait to the new DC to come.

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and indeed it's a home run hire.
