We've been screaming that we need some Jimmy's and Joe's to make it go.

Now we are acquiring some. I'm optimistic this OC will make it so. Doesn't he also have a QB coach from PSU who knows what Franklin wants as well as an analyst from Wake who has been successful running offenses. It appears Franklin has put together a very competent staff. If he can keep them together, we will thrive. ** Edited by likehokies at 7/20/2026, 2:21:46 PM

First time OC? Don't like the sound of that.**

We're already throwing rocks at the OC? Sheesh.**

At least most of our throws are inaccurate.

True. But why should WE be the ones who get the bad/learning years?
HokieNL • 07/20/26 01:37 PM ET
Maybe because we fired last year's staff? Just sayin.**
seacain • 07/20/26 08:43 PM ET
Franklin has stated he will be hands on. He will die on his own sword. **
IronHokie • 07/20/26 11:33 AM ET
He’s been a co-OC for 5 years

They could have hired him back.
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/20/26 01:10 PM ET
They could have not fired Franklin too. What's your point?**

Obrian left due to internal crap with PSU

Same concerns here. Too many echoes of Stinespring, Cornelson

Tyler Bowen is the (major) echo...from the name to the profile...

It's not automatic that there will be bad years.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 07/21/26 11:41 AM ET
It's kind of a crap shoot, though. VT Football is like Forrest Gump.

Exactly right. Too much is made of this.

It will hopefully work better than first time OC + first time head coach**
