Over the last week, James Franklin has been busy putting together his staff at Virginia Tech. He has gone back to his Penn State roots to bring some assistants to Blacksburg, while also he is reportedly bringing back Brent Pry, who was fired three months ago as head coach, as his defensive coordinator.
There were some coaches on Pry's staff that fans were hoping was going to be retained. On Saturday night, it was reported that wide receivers coach Fontel Mines and offensive line coach Matt Moore were being retained by Franklin. Those two coming back are big, given how well their units played in 2025.
