Brent Pry

[Cajun fan1]

You were right and I was naive. Kudos.

By no means am I saying it’s a done deal but talks did take place..

[ManAboutTown]

Use Brent Pry as covering fire for Kevin Sumlin hiring?
Genius! I knew I loved this guy...

[ManAboutTown]

Where's my sharpie and calendar?

New respect.

I admit when I'm wrong.. when I'm wrong.
Just doesn't happen very often...

Works for App state, pro style offense, great running back and a true QB who is smart and they play gap sound defense but probably not the norm but it can work.

App State doesn't run a pro style offense.

I don't think we would hire Venable. He is at a school in our conference and that just does not happen. I am on the fence about Brent Pry. If Dr. Maggard thinks he is the best we can get, I would respect his judgement. I kind of wonder if this rumor is just being floated to divert attention from the search, if there is one. (Hud is currently still the head coach) Remember the rumor about the softball coach from West Florida?

The Brent Pry talk is very real, as I've heard this from multiple people on different sides of the sawce pile..

Fish, unless we are playing in the ACC, we are not in a conference with Clemson. Brent Venables is the current DC at Clemson. Kevin Steele is a former HC at Baylor and current DC at Alabama.

They play good defense and run the ball and have a real QB...call that whatever...successful would be a good word

He was James Franklin's assistant HC at Penn State and at Vanderbilt. That, to me, speaks volumes. I wouldn't be disappointed.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I don't have a problem with Brent Pry, but is he going to get people any more excited than Lance Guidry? They are very similar personalities.

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?
