Fair enough, but I think a lot of people thought this would be the year to take that step. And sure, being close is better than being far away. Last year we wouldn't have been close at all against Miami and Clemson. But we should have won some close games against the average to below average teams on our schedule.

If we're 9-3 with close losses to Clemson, UM, and let's say Syracuse we might not be ecstatic, but we're feeling a lot better about the future.

From what I gather, he has a self-employed, consulting-type role like Bud. Lives in a suburb outside of Dallas - my assumption is that he wants to stay in one place until his kids go to college. I vaguely remember him helping out the TCU coaching staff during their BCS run.

The only team I'd think he would come back for is SMU or another Dallas-based role.

Also lots of teams were limiting our possessions so we just had fewer plays in some games

Texas Tech has now lost both of its coordinators.

BREAKING: Texas Tech OC Zach Kittley will become the new head coach at FAU, per source. The 33-year-old offense leads the Big 12's in scoring and is No. 8 in the nation. In his one season at WKU in 2021, they improved from No. 115 in scoring to No. 2 in the country.โ€” Bruce Feldman (@brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social) December 2, 2024 at 4:57 PM

What's the standing on transfers that are undefeated while at VT but lose at another school?

Lowest Opponent Comp%, only team to not allow 200+ completions

I wonder if this is because we were (at one point recently when I looked at the stats) 13th in the conference in rushing D. No need to pass the ball if you can run it down our throats. But also impressive we could be tied for 4th in interceptions if there were so many fewer passing attempts.

I was close to the field at Duke. The receiver would run out, then quickly drop back. Delane bit on that pretty much every time and would keep going down the field before correcting, leaving a big gap for the receiver. I don't remember if that's what happened for Duke's long first reception, but I did see Delane's receiver open a bunch.

5th best scoring D
5th best passing D
Lowest Opponent Comp%, only team to not allow 200+ completions
t-6th fewest passing TDs allowed
t-4th most interceptions
5th most sacks
t-2nd in fumbles caused

Not the worst, by a long shot

I hear ya, but Fuente who was Pry's immediate predecessor is like a glaring case study in retaining buddies to the point that it puts your job on the line and then you lose it. If Pry ignores what happened to give him the job in the first place (and yes, I'm assuming had Fuente fired Corny somewhere before the last two years he may have been able to keep his job, at least for a little longer).

And considering this is Pry's first HC gig, if he fails, he's definitely going backward to a coordinator or position coaching spot. Loyalty is one thing, self-preservation is another. And as bar1990 said, he believes this may be Pry getting him another job. And if they are buddies, that makes even more sense that Pry would help him find something else.

Let's be honest, his kids are in the fun ages. He has enough money to sit and live on the investments in a comfortable manner. He can wait and go back for the right coordinator position in a year or so.

But, the game might move on from him and he might be stuck retired.

So did the right tackle and right guard both who were all conference for them.

I'm waiting for the body camera video to come out from Columbus PD, Franklin county sheriff, we will never see the body cameras from Michigan or OSU police but they are the ones who used the most OC spray. By interesting to see if they sprayed only opposing players or their own also.

Jones is tough to get a read on. He put some guys in the NFL at Duke, which seems impressive. Here, Strong has been good and is one of the top ranked CBs in the country, but Delane has looked pretty lost sometimes.
