## Resource

James Franklin’s Hokies journey began with a dramatic exit from Penn State, but his wife and agent pushed him to keep searching—and the rest is history. With Virginia Tech unveiling a massive athletic budget, the job became irresistible. Even his best friend, Brent Pry, who returned as defensive coordinator, gave him the green light. Franklin’s goal? To lead with a clear head and heart, leaving bitterness behind. For the Hokies, this is a fresh start—and a major boost.
