Ty Howle is the new OC for Virginia Tech.
MKD • 12/09/25 09:58 AM ET
We needed to get this one right....and this is underwhelming.
VA4VT • 12/09/25 12:24 PM ET
After learning more about Howle...
VA4VT • 12/10/25 09:31 AM ET
East Carolina offensive coordinator John David Baker is headed to Ole Miss **
VT757to276 • 12/09/25 11:33 AM ET
This was expected, right?**
HokieInClifton • 12/09/25 12:15 PM ET
Was thinking vt would interview**
VT757to276 • 12/09/25 01:02 PM ET
Franklin is hiring loyalists instead of looking 4 experienced coordinators
Flanker • 12/09/25 11:26 AM ET
So you're the $8.2 mil head coach now and know what's best for the program?**
carhokies • 12/09/25 12:21 PM ET
Franklin was FIRED for not winning BIG games. He is repeating his mistakes.
Flanker • 12/09/25 01:36 PM ET
Wow, I feel down in the dumps depressed already. No positivity, no hope,
carhokies • 12/09/25 02:14 PM ET
Don't drink the kool aid!
Flanker • 12/09/25 07:18 PM ET
Dude, you need to get a life. Check back on this board after 2-3 years.
carhokies • 12/09/25 08:12 PM ET
Chill man. ** ◄
tylerhokie • 12/09/25 01:46 PM ET
If he sputters out the gate w VMI,ODU,JMU, these hires will haunt him
Techsupport • 12/09/25 11:40 AM ET
I'm just worried that Franklin will not answer to anyone.
Flanker • 12/09/25 01:41 PM ET
Far to early for them to question his decisions, but we sure can.
Techsupport • 12/09/25 01:57 PM ET
Tech should not forget that they Bill Dooley's unchecked pwr = probation
Flanker • 12/09/25 07:29 PM ET
Since is supposed to play 9 conference games next season and 1 of those
VTHokie2000 • 12/09/25 12:52 PM ET
Not opposed to a de facto PSU, better than Scott Stadium as Lane north
V333T • 12/09/25 10:23 AM ET
So we should expect some TE help via the portal
Hokiefied • 12/09/25 10:15 AM ET
Flipper Pierce Petersohn seems hopefull, 6'5" 205 lbs.**
MikeVT85 • 12/09/25 10:51 AM ET
Great point. PP didn’t hesitate to flip. Tea leaves and
V333T • 12/09/25 11:02 AM ET
"In coach Franklin we trust." was his comment.**
MikeVT85 • 12/09/25 11:07 AM ET
When the Hokies were the best with Good TE**
RiverVT • 12/09/25 10:26 AM ET
I would love that style of offense to go with a dominant D.
XFactor11 • 12/09/25 10:17 AM ET
Who is the QB coach was my first thought?**
Hokiefied • 12/09/25 10:19 AM ET
Danny O'Brien is QB coach at PSU past 3 years. Strong ties to Franklin
carhokies • 12/09/25 10:50 AM ET
You mean QB Scott McBrien at UMD? I believe he went undrafted, good QB **
Techdady • 12/09/25 04:15 PM ET
Here's the info: Danny O'Brien 6'3" 215lb was starting QB at MD 2009-2011
carhokies • 12/09/25 04:47 PM ET
I think I know, but my source hasn't confirmed yet.**
MKD • 12/09/25 10:25 AM ET
If the QB coach Franklin just signed is any indication, it will be a
VTCALS72 • 12/09/25 10:22 AM ET
I’ve learned to ignore it**
Hokiefied • 12/09/25 10:36 AM ET
Face it, there will be grumbling no matter who is hired.**
EDGEMAN • 12/09/25 10:35 AM ET
Sorry, that's a complete train wreck of a hire. Just awful.**
Techsupport • 12/09/25 10:14 AM ET
Looks similar to the Cignetti approach to me
TOUGH TURKEY • 12/09/25 12:39 PM ET
Except Shanahan had 2 very good offenses under his belt at JMU**
Techsupport • 12/09/25 01:27 PM ET
So does he have any more experience as an OC than Bowen did?**
VTCALS72 • 12/09/25 10:09 AM ET
Did Cignetti have more experience than G5 pre Indiana?
V333T • 12/09/25 10:43 AM ET
Instinct, just like Pry with Bowen and Franklin with
VTCALS72 • 12/09/25 10:45 AM ET
So, hiring JF hire is as bad as Pry hiring Bowen? Pat Kirk agrees.**
V333T • 12/09/25 11:14 AM ET
No. **
Techsupport • 12/09/25 10:21 AM ET
So does that mean to you that CBP may not have been far out in left field
VTCALS72 • 12/09/25 10:27 AM ET
No way to know. But you need 35 ppg to compete for championships in 2025..
Techsupport • 12/09/25 11:09 AM ET
Howle as a co-OC has more experience than Bowen, but otherwise these are
goodbadugly • 12/09/25 10:35 AM ET
They even look very similar 😂**
Pylons • 12/09/25 10:51 AM ET
Co OC is exactly what Bowen was at PSU.**
Techsupport • 12/09/25 10:41 AM ET
Co Coordinator at PS and TE coach. He's an excellent Tight Ends coach.**
MKD • 12/09/25 10:12 AM ET
Multiple times when Franklin was talking about recruiting, he specifically
goodbadugly • 12/09/25 10:18 AM ET
Hire the a QB coach/co-OC or passing game coordinator
Hokiefied • 12/09/25 10:27 AM ET
True but the question was for the OC. Let's be real, this board
VTCALS72 • 12/09/25 10:16 AM ET
Here is a PSU perspective on him.**
likehokies • 12/09/25 10:05 AM ET
To me, the most interesting part of that article, is the list of staffers
Hokie`79 • 12/09/25 10:52 AM ET
Great read, thanks**
V333T • 12/09/25 10:17 AM ET
Fontel Mines. Moore was interviewed as well, maybe Howle came down for
BG Hokie • 12/09/25 10:00 AM ET
Moore was interviewed for what position?**
MKD • 12/09/25 10:04 AM ET
I would assume OL.**
BG Hokie • 12/09/25 10:15 AM ET
Doesn't appear Trautwein (PSU OL coach) coming. Word is Moore is retained.**
hokie77 • 12/09/25 10:39 AM ET
Moore is a good OL coach.
