and against ACC competition, his stats would likely be much better than they were at PSU
Your line of thinking seems to align with this
James Franklin's mistakes at Penn State were hiring two glamorous expensive coordinators that stole the headlines. Both Kotelnicki and Knowles turned out to be poor fits that couldn't adapt to their personnel.He is getting away from that and going back to his roots that won at...— Sekrah (@sekrah) December 10, 2025
I think the biggest flaw in the Bowen comparison is that Franklin has built two successful programs and knows what it takes and the type of assistants he needs and how to get the most out of them.
Pry watched Franklin do that but could not replicate it.
Until proven otherwise, I'll choose to trust Franklin's judgement
Fuck 'em. Let 'em walk.
Technically, they were Marve and Seifkis' defenses
Buzz around PSU's linebacker coach coming to VT
Maybe hiring Pry 4 years ago was just step one in the long range plan to get James Franklin to VT
Looking VT's defense under Pry - i really hope it was a talent issue, and that Pry being HC, he decided to separate himself from the defense.
Looking at Pry's defenses at PSU, ignoring the past few years, this would be a homerun DC hire.
The optics of it are awkward, but if Pry is okay with it and he gets the defense back on track, it could be a great move. If the defense has another lackluster year next season, he has to know fans will be out for his head, great guy or not
To be fair, probably won't be too many players who played under him as an HC after all the portaling is said and done
Still holding out hope that Iowa St throws some crazy offer and it falls through at the 11th hour lol
Bout to see all the loud PSU twitter accounts saying "I've been high on Campbell since day one!"
Is Campbell a Sexton guy? If so, you're probably right

Todd McShay agrees
Appearing on The Bill Simmons Podcast, McShay suggested that Sexton is "messing around with Penn State" as payback for the school firing Franklin. He mused that Sexton might be diverting his clients away from Penn State and towards other schools.
"He's messing around with Penn State right now because Penn State let go one of his guys, James Franklin, in a manner that he didn't appreciate," McShay said. "And so now they're kinda sitting back and every time they go try to hire a coach or get serious with the coach, that coach who's represented by Sexton winds up with an extension or winds up going to maybe UCLA. So it's, it's fascinating to see."
I think the interim HC would have to turn them down before they called Pry
PSU is gonna end up with Matt Lintal at this rate
Fuck yeah man. We've been on the other side of this kind of stuff for so long, and so often...I don't even know how to take all this in.
I just hope it falls through
Sekrah seems to be hinting that its the BYU dude, they've been on point about a lot
Some sage advice for BYU:Don't wait until your wives have another husband lined up before you start being nice to them. They can see you through you. 👀— Sekrah (@sekrah) December 2, 2025
Back when Kirby Smart wanted to come to VT, we were playing the long game, holding out for Franklin
Can someone make a sequel coaching carousel thread? I'd do it, but I don't know how to make the chart in the OP - this big ass thread is causing my computer to freeze
LSU is now paying three head coaches. Ed O, Brian Kelly and Lane Kiffin
I've lost count today
