    Tutored at Va Tech under a legendary coach. Tutored with Franklin at Penn State, and helped Franklin turn Vanderbilt from crap to bowl participant.

    He’s been tutored by the best.

    Absolutely not, he is certainly a qualified candidate.

    I'm aware of that Express, just saying I'd be willing to talk to Venable and Steele as well if they are interested. BTW, both have won NC as defensive coordinators and presently recruit in Louisiana.

    What works for App state, that they beat SB level schools? Look at their schedule and tell me the P5 team they beat or the top G5 for that matter. I'm talking about beating good teams. Not trying to be snotty, but just trying to make sure I'm clear. Not talking about beating SB teams, those are a given. Plus, do you know that App State head coach is from the offensive side?

    Well they will always have #5 Michigan on their resume.

    A name will get alumni across the country to say "we hired WHO?". Immediate impact, immediate up tick in everything from tickets to RCAF to attendance. I think it matters in a big way this time around.
    This hire is the most important in our history.

    And? He is a good coach, doesn’t matter what side. They play good defense, run the ball effectively and have a good QB. I’m
    Fine with that formula, it will win you more games than you lose. They have dominated this conference since day 1. You want to move up? You want to beat good teams? Start by dominating this conference and getting out of it. You will never consistently beat good teams from the sunbelt...ever. App state isn’t playing to beat the occasional P5...they are playing to move up towards them.

    Pry is not conservative defensively. I remember meeting him once and he said he would blitz every play if the opportunity prevented itself. Back when he was here we often got burned when the blitz did not get the sack or tackle for loss.
