James Franklin is beginning to round out his Virginia Tech coaching staff, and he is continuing to return to his Penn State roots to get it done.
First came the bizarre announcement that Franklin was targeting Brent Pry to be his defensive coordinator. That's right, the same Brent Pry that was fired after a Week 3 loss to Old Dominion in Blacksburg, and the guy he is replacing.
On Tuesday morning, it was reported by Pete Thamel of ESPN that Franklin was hiring Ty Howle as his offensive coordinator, who was on Franklin's staff at Penn State.
