And we can put that to bed because, as you said at the beginning of this tangent, it is a minor quibble. 

But someone on the internet is WRONG and I have to do something about that!!! :)

Franklin hired back the HC that VT just fired to be his DC.  So is VT paying their own offset?

Franklin being setup for failure

He wasn't retained.  He was Franklin's DC at PSU, which is why VT hired him to be HC.  Franklin wanted him back as his DC

Ok, I read the story, and now I'm even more confused.  

Brent Pry was the Head Coach at VT.  He sucked, they fired him in September.  As I recall, he was the first coach fired. 

James Franklin is the new HC at VT.  Pry used to be the DC for JF at PSU.  

JF re-hired Pry to be the DC at VT, who fired him as HC.  

I wonder how that really works, with returning players and all that.  I just don't see that being a good move.  Ever had a boss that was demoted before?  

I guess now he can just stay put, I hope he didn't sell his house.

I think in the past, it would be a problem.  Today, with roster turnover being so substantial, I don't think it matters.
