For Franklin and Pry, Their Reunion at Virginia Tech Transcends Football

It’s not often that a formerly-dismissed head coach returns to the same program in any capacity, let alone in a role as significant as defensive coordinator. But the relationship that Franklin and Pry share is not typical for most college football coaches.
