New Defensive Coordinator Conversation

Just to continue conversation. Here are defensive coordinator options who are "on the tree" of connections with Pry. I am sure there are other names out there as well.

1) Anthony Poindexter- Virginia ties, great recruiter, been passed up twice for the DC job at PSU (although for two well regarded DCs in Mario Diaz and Tom Allen). Negative, limited DC experience

2) Tim Banks- current DC and safeties coach at Tennessee. Was the secondary coach under Pry at Penn State. Recruited and developed a top notch defensive line and good corners. Linebacker recruiting has been a weak point. Likely out of the price range unless Heupel wanted a change.

3) Torrian Gray- long time secondary coach under Bud Foster and his secondaries have been terrific in the same scheme and other schemes. Has a reputation for not being a great recruiter, and no DC experience.

4) Bob Shoop- currently a safeties coach at Marshall, but has been a DC at Penn State, Tennessee, and other spots. Ran a similar system to Pry at Tennessee. Ending up at Marshall as a position coach is a bit weird, and being 58 would make me wonder how much he wants to deal with recruiting/NIL etc.

What other names could be out there?
