But now that's all history, because Narduzzi and Franklin will now be coaching in the same conference — Narduzzi still at Pitt, and Franklin now at Virginia Tech."I'm excited about him," Narduzzi said at his end of the week press conference.

As the season draws to an end, decisions are imminent, Zoom interviews are frequent, and everyone is waiting for Lane Kiffin — for now.

On the day that he was officially introduced as the head football coach at Virginia Tech, James Franklin used his press conference to thank his former employers and the predecessor at his new job.

Franklin became Virginia Tech's head coach the same week the Nittany Lions are preparing for Senior Day at Beaver Stadium.
