No matter what team you are a fan of, the idea of VA Tech hiring the guy they just fired as HC for a position next season is hilarious.
OT: Brent Pry heading to …
- Thread starter Zenophile
- Start date
Those look well worn ... you got your money's worth out of those, no doubt.Eight wins against teams that were a combined 29-54.
Is that Sandusky fan memorabilia? Or are they Paterno Pads?
Regardless, you deserve better ... Gold Impalas for those underdeveloped legs ...
No doubt. I don't know if it's unprecedented, but it sure is unusual.
VT will save money by having Pry's DC salary offset his HC buyout. Otherwise they would have to pay both the buyout and the new DC. Some Hokie fans are suspicious about this arrangement.
I always liked Pry. When he was here thought he was a good DC. Not as good as Diaz but liked him better than Shoop and Allen and albeit a small body off work Knowles.
Franklin often mentioned going through his large list of candidates for open staff positions.
I think that list is much shorter and less distinguished that he inferred.
Time will tell, both at VTech and at Penn State.
Snake oil salesman. Also, Franklin and Pry are both gone and its time to move on. Why do we care what happens at VT or what Franklin does?
This feels so awkward…can you imagine if JF were hired back to Penn State as a coordinator… or even to sell hot dogs… we would boo him mercilessly!
All his other options watched the 4th quarter of PSU vs USC in the 2017 Rose Bowl and the '17 and '18 PSU vs OSU games. Anyone who puts money on the dynamic duo BGJ and Pry to win a big game deserves to lose all their money.
Yes, but Never-Frankliners are those kinds of bad people ... you can't make decisions based on what those craptastic folks think and do.
Virginia and Mississippi. Where next, West Virginia?
For the record, WV is one of the few states a boy from Jersey can make fun of

You FDS suffers are truly bizzare - why precisely do you care how VoTech (and Pry) choose to mitigate the contract guarantee owed him??? Pry was owed as much as $6 million via the remainder of his contract guarantee - apparently, he's signed a 3-year contract @$2mm/yr which exactly equal to what he is owed via the guarantee. I'm sure Franklin had to agree to it (or maybe it was even Franklin's idea in the first place), but given that he has worked for Franklin before as a very successful DC, it is probably a pretty wise use of limited financial resources by VoTech/Franklin. There's a long history of fired HCs going back to Coordinator roles for their next job - Lane Kiffin, Manny Diaz, Tom Allen.... etc, etc, etc....
But not often that the fired head coach goes back to be a coordinator at the school that fired him the next season. I honestly don’t recall this ever happening. It certainly is intriguing.
In the past, we weren't talking about the sums of $$$ being thrown around annually by P4 programs. Rather than spend another several million on the margin for a 3-year DC Contract, they're getting a proven DC, who has worked successfully in this role for Franklin in the past, for free.
