Staff Changes Pry-ssr

Happy Holidays, I decided to gift y'all with a Pry-ssr. If I have the time over the next few weeks maybe I'll do one for the presumed presser we'll have once the hirings and shufflings are complete.

• Started by thanking the coaches that were let go and looked pained by having to make the decision.
• Pry has been planning staffing decisions for weeks, starting with being unhappy with things around halfway through the season. The ultimate decision was made in the last couple days.
• Pry did not talk specifics about the Marve decision, but states we weren't playing good enough defense, particularly in the second half.
• Recruiting, relationships, development all mentioned when discussing OL coach position. "It's not just what you see on the field" in reference to Pry's evaluation of coaches.
• Pry feels strongly that the better conditioned team wins the close games. Didn't feel like the team was well-conditioned enough at the start of the year and at the end of games.
• Adibi coaching ILB for bowl, Davis coaching OL, Ferg doing S&C. Quinn or Pry to be play-caller for the bowl, Quinn doing the operational things a tropical typical DC would.
• Every position has internal and external candidates. Pry does not plan to return to play calling next year.
• Further "shuffling" will likely occur within the staff to provide the best development opportunity for the players and program.
• Pry reiterated that some players in the portal can return if they decide to and some cannot, it depends on why they entered the portal to begin with.
• Lots of portal and roster management talk starting around 15:10.
• Players that have declared and have signed with an agent cannot play in the bowl. Waiting to hear from Strong and Tuten.
