My sources are telling me its Pry to MSU and Narduzzi to PSU as DC. Wow!
What's this all about? (msu plane flying to SC today)
- Thread starter MtNittany
- Start date
If Pry leaves there are two guys on the staff who would want the job. Banks and Smith. I don’t really want either as DC but Franklin may go that direction
No need to fly to State College for that. All they'd need to do is have someone pass him a note which reads, "Call this number".
49ers DC passed on a request to meet with the MSU AD and so has Colorado coach Mel Tucker. Fickell could see the the MSU role as a meat grinder and pass and look to be a candidate for a SEC or ACC role next Winter. Sounds like if its Fickel it would be announced in 24-48 hours.
No doubt but you could also get fired after 2 years if you don't produce immediately. He would probably not get another HC job again. He has a chance for better career situation.
Who's making that assumption? Pry might interview for the HC job at MSU but he sure as hell isn't leaving CJF and a program that has won 11 games 3 times in the last 4 years to be the DC of The Pitt of The Midwest. The only other thing that makes sense would be Banks as full time DC under Fickell.
U of Miami, Maryland, and NC State could also be looking for coaches next Winter. I cant see how Locks survives. Hope he does though.....lol
Pry certainly isnt going to MSU to be a DC. That would be absurd.
I’d Pry leaves and I’m CJF, I’m on the next plane out to interview Vaunted Don Brown. Or maybe, I’d try and convince thst other overrated stiff Bud Foster to come out of retirement. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Pretty clear to me. This is a covert trip to talk with Narduzzi. They will meet somewhere discrete in Altoona. MSU has struck out on their first choices and now they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Perhaps the plane is just making a run to The Creamery to stock up for Valentine’s Day!
Man, you guys are missing the obvious.....Sparty BBall has been collapsing the past two weeks. MSU wants to clean house from all the scandals. Izzo is gonna step down and they are after Chambers!!
He’s coming to talk to the Second Mile to see how to deflect any responsibility for Nassar’s crimes.
Yeah, but he'll have a five-year contract for which he'll get paid full value and won't have to work again. He can always get a job as a defensive assistant and work his way back to DC.
MSU boards feeling like Fickel is a done deal as of this afternoon. Pry was one of many backup plans?

Thank God Chambers is safe!
Franklin "give my assistants title changes and big money or other programs will begin interviewing them and I'll support it"
Sandy "try me"
Flight to SC to interview pry or bowen or seider
Sandy: "okay, turn the plane around seider and bowen and pry can get whatever titles they want and however much money"
Franklin "thanks"
Sandy "any shot you'll sign that contract anytime soon and we can stop these dances"
Franklin "we'll see, how's the facilities master plan coming together?"

True, but he's gonna be making that kind of money pretty soon no matter what. The question is whether he believes another, better HC opportunity is likely to present itself in the near future.
So no truth to the rumor that Mo Hump was in the plane and finally returning to State College?
Fun Spin (if it were only true)
Franklin has not signed his contract because his is negotiating to be both PSU FB HC and Athletic Director thus free up money to pay/keep his asssistants
Sandy B is one interviewing for MSU AD job as a female who can clean up the MSU mess...Sandy the Pants-suit Spartan

It's hardly inevitable that Pry has a $3.5mm-$4mm just waiting for him. When was the last time he was in the discussion during the annual coaching merry-go-round?
Flight plan was changed. Plane departed Lunken and flew back to Lansing.
Not really

For those of you tracking planes. The plane which delivered MSU AD Beekman to Cincy is now headed home to Lansing. Leaving at 2:30, arriving in Lansing 3:15ish. No trip to State College, PA.

After reading this thread, I will offer, when interviewing coaches, do it in "ANY" college town except one that is actually in the mix. That will sufficiently "f" things up!
I added that Tweet to this thread about 4 hours ago.
