I read before Franklin was hired that Hagans was interviewing

with an FCS school. So, it appears he was on the “not going to be retained” list not long after Franklin was fired.

FWIW, I feel a little better about Howle after reading PSU board reaction.
Gobbler Guru • 12/09/25 07:36 PM ET
I don't know how long Hagans has been there
VTHokieTBone7 • 12/10/25 09:00 AM ET

The impact of an OC is always overstated.
Glenvar Hokie • 12/09/25 06:43 PM ET
Or a creative and cerebral OC can make a decent QB + OK Oline + OK skill

Next time you jump forward in your Time Machine
Vtdfnz • 12/09/25 06:25 PM ET
You know who started as a TEs coach? Ben Johnson. He’s an ok OC.**
XFactor11 • 12/09/25 06:24 PM ET
Ben Johnson was a washed brainiac QB who left for NFL job after 3yrs haha

Franklin is amazing! > Franklin is an idiot! Short honeymoon. **
hokieincville2 • 12/09/25 06:18 PM ET
Maybe he’s amazing at being an idiot 🤔**
Jeffroww • 12/09/25 06:33 PM ET
And this is my whole concern with the over-the-top reaction to JF's hire.
MP4VT2004 • 12/09/25 06:31 PM ET
Well said**
VTHokie2000 • 12/10/25 12:37 AM ET
Good thing every person is different. Have you seen the TEs he has coached?**
XFactor11 • 12/09/25 05:55 PM ET
My excitement has turned into… Oh no, another complainer.**
V333T • 12/09/25 05:40 PM ET
Considering I played for Stiney and saw first hand...
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 05:46 PM ET
Didn't Tech average 10 wins a season while Stiney was OC?
MaryWashGrad • 12/09/25 07:25 PM ET
C'mon. You know exactly why Tech won 10 games all of those years.
BoozVT • 12/09/25 08:36 PM ET
Complaint about the complaint waived off, no(t) foul.**
V333T • 12/09/25 06:03 PM ET
Did you know this at the time or did you understand your experiences
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/09/25 05:51 PM ET
Oh definitely knew at the time
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 06:25 PM ET
Thanks for confirming. That's what it looked like from the stands and
Tombo • 12/09/25 07:13 PM ET
Staff hires have definitely cooled my jets big time. No doubt.**
Techsupport • 12/09/25 05:34 PM ET
Why? The staff hires should have motivated you to purchase your ACC
VTHokie2000 • 12/09/25 06:16 PM ET
I actually didn't mind Pry... But my heart can't take anymore bad offense
hokieboozer • 12/09/25 05:39 PM ET
I won't try and talk you off the ledge, but...
Rationalist • 12/10/25 12:51 PM ET
He was also CO-OC who called plays in a few games. Yes he was TE coach 1st.**
