What's this all about? (msu plane flying to SC today)
- Thread starter MtNittany
- Start date
connect the dots, duh.......It's obviously Daryl Clark, he just moved here......
All of that being said, if I am Pry, I don't want that job. I know it is a Power 5 job and MSU has done some winning. But when it comes to recruiting, it's the traditional 4th best program in the Big East.....;

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.
It should be pretty obvious to anybody playing attention.
Fickell said no, and now they're going after Franklin.
Franklin to MSU. Dantonio to PSU.

Hope its not Tyler Bowen either. I just listened/watched an interview he did. I never paid much attention to him. He is very articulate and makes a commanding presence. I believe he has a big future in coaching.
CJF to MSU and Fickell to PSU
This is why the contact has not been signed. He was waiting on Sparty.
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.
It would be just a little amusing (despite the loss) if they took our DC and left "Old Salty Jr." to rot in Pittsburgh.
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.
Banks makes more sense. If its Pry it wouldn't even be a "lateral" move, IMO.
A HC job in the same conference is a lateral move from a DC job? How's that?
Pretty sure Pry isn't interviewing for any DC jobs anywhere right now.
I think people have made that assumption since Fickell has been said to be the favorite to replace dantonio.
Why would they want Pry when defensive genius DON BROWN is just down the road???
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.
They don't even have a HC yet. They aren't flying to State College to interview potential assistants.
Pry would be foolish to walk into that situation with chaos and NCAA infractions coming. He has top notch D returning and highly improved offense. Reach for BT / BCS then have a pick of HC jobs.

If I were to get offered a $3 million + dollar raise, I'd have to strongly consider it. That's life changing money.
Saw Jay yesterday shopping for a suit at Anderson-Little *
You guys are reading this all wrong. Narduzzi was spotted at the Pittsburgh rail yards last night where he jumped a boxcar headed to Tyrone. There he hitchhiked to State College where he meets with MSU officials at the Tavern to hash out contract details. Meanwhile his wife was spotted at Lowe’s buying boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. They’ll leave tonight under cover of darkness and a press conference will take place tomorrow. That’s my theory.
Maybe they’re going to finally lock down Fran Ganter?
I’d be okay if Pry left honestly, for 2 reasons. One creates a track record of CJF’s assistants leaving for HC job promotions. Two bc I’m sorta fed up with Pry’s pass defense schemes, and there are many DC’s out there that could help improve tht for this 2020 CFP run
If we’re speculating, couldn’t it be KC just as much as Pry?
Pretty humiliating for Narduzzi to see MSU interviewing PSU assistants for HC before him. Yikes.

I think the only thing this indicates is that Fickell did not immediately accept the position and MSU is still looking for a HC and Pry is on their list. The idea a representative would fly to State College to interview Banks seems a little far fetched. If Banks wanted to interview he would be flying there or they would be flying him. Most likely Pry would be flying to East Lansing too, so maybe this is completely unrelated.
Lou Ann Simon looking for an exile location in the Valley?
Wouldn’t be disappointed if it’s Pry or Banks they are after.... need new blood on defense, too.

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.
