Better not be Pry.
That was my first thought.Better not be Pry.
Hang on, so the plane scoops up fickell and then flies straight to SC to interview Tim Banks for D-coordinator? That would be shocking to me. It has to be Pry and I think he is doing it to get some HC interview experience.Banks as an assistant to Fickell?
CJF to MSU and Fickell to PSUIt should be pretty obvious to anybody playing attention.
Fickell said no, and now they're going after Franklin.
Franklin to MSU. Dantonio to PSU.
Stranger things have happened, but Pry had to have a lot to do with the Scott hire. That doesn't sound like a guy whose looking to leave. But, 4.2 million per yer isn't something anyone (assistant) is going to turn down.That was my first thought.

It would be just a little amusing (despite the loss) if they took our DC and left "Old Salty Jr." to rot in Pittsburgh.

A HC job in the same conference is a lateral move from a DC job? How's that?Banks makes more sense. If its Pry it wouldn't even be a "lateral" move, IMO.

I think Pry has done a great job. And as much as I'd hate to lose him, it would be a nice reflection on CJF to lose another coordinator to become the head coach at another MSU. I'm confident we could find a fairly good replacement, so I'm not terribly worried.
I'd be pretty surprised if Pry was offered the head job, though. The Banks scenario seems more plausible.
Pretty sure Pry isn't interviewing for any DC jobs anywhere right now.The assumption is Pry would be Fickell’s DC.

Right. If someone on that plane is coming to talk to Pry, it isn't about going to work for Luke Fickell. It's about the HC job itself. I can assure you that.I think people have made that assumption since Fickell has been said to be the favorite to replace dantonio.
By who? I am thinking Pry as HC.The assumption is Pry would be Fickell’s DC.
If I were to get offered a $3 million + dollar raise, I'd have to strongly consider it. That's life changing money.Pry would be foolish to walk into that situation with chaos and NCAA infractions coming. He has top notch D returning and highly improving offense. Reach for BT / BCS then have a pick of HC jobs.

Oh I thought MSU already hired Fickell?A HC job in the same conference is a lateral move from a DC job? How's that?
Pry for potential HC.

100%.Yeah, I don't want to lose Pry right now either, and the MSU job has its warts for sure, but that would be a pretty solid opportunity for him that I think would be tough to turn down. I think he is HC material too.
The timing would not be ideal, and I think he's a solid DC, but he can be replaced without downgrading IMO. And to be extra clear, I hope he is our DC next season.
