Looks like Franklin is hiring Howle as his OC

[LudicrousSpeedGO!]

Would have liked to have kept him but this is a step up in responsibilities.

Sources: PSU's Howle expected to be Va. Tech OC

Virginia Tech is expected to hire Penn State co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Ty Howle as the Hokies' new offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN.

Is he ready to be an OC?
Between Howle and Pry, these are 2 very interesting (surprising?) selections. I actually think bringing Pry back could become a locker room issue, in that it’s awkward and 2 months ago the guy was calling all the shots.

Who knows on both questions. Howle was outstanding. Can he make the leap to leading the entire offense? Pry was an outstanding DC. Will there be issues being essentially demoted to lead the same players. It is certainly a unique set of choices there.

I'm sure Howle can dial up passes <8 yds as good as anyone under JF.

I liked Pry and thought he did an overall very good job. But it always seemed it took until at least halftime until adjustments were made.

Interesting it wasn’t Kotelnicki.

Did Franklin not want him? Of did K not want to work with Franklin again?

Last year K was very creative in using Warren in multiple sets, routes, positions.

This year the offense was cold as vanilla ice. Can’t believe losing one player would completely shut down his creativity. Especially with talent like Drew, Kaytron, and Nicholas.

Even during the Patsy Season it was evident something was wrong. If you can’t blow out Villanova you got problems!

To be fair, last year the offense went through Warren. Wide receivers were non-existent. It was Warren and the RBs.

Last year, if Warren got hurt, it would have been exactly the same as this year
