I'm happy with the hire. Guys, the good ole TYPICAL and CONVENTIONAL thinking of "lets go get the hot genius who is currently winning at the non-P5 school" HAS NOT worked. It just hasn't worked. I'm glad went the other route. Get a PROVEN O or D coordinator at a top 25 power 5 program, and yes, Penn State over the past 10 years, is still a top 25 program whether Hokie fans want to admit it or not.
Pry's numbers on Defense speak clearly. They are proven. He's legit. He also learned some under Foster and was mentored by Bud Foster over the years (long after leaving VT as a graduate assistant). Bud has a regular 1 on 1 conversation with him, so defensively, I'm not worried. Now....recruiting, offense, and running a program. Recruiting, he's recruited the he** out of Virginia. I think this is also a win. Now, this leaves offense and running a program. I trust Bud Foster and Franklin always have a sound byte for his ear, so I'm not worried there either. The only question is......OFFENSE. This is the only box that is unchecked in my opinion. Pry's offensive guy, whoever that is, is critical.
