Miami clears roadblock for James Franklin to make a logical coach at Virginia Tech

James Franklin has been slowly rounding out his first staff at Virginia Tech. He has kept some coaches from Brent Pry's staff, mainly wide receivers coach Fontel Mines and offensive line coach Matt Moore.

Franklin is also bringing back Pry to be his defensive coordinator, which is surprising, and Franklin has already poached some former Penn State coaches to Virginia Tech. He's also reportedly looking to bring home another former assistant coach from his State College days.
