Auburn maybe should have kept him.

It is not heaven on earth and angels are not running the show. Logic is your friend. We cannot all be students of logic but we should at least strive to be a casual fan. GMOs are banned in 50 countries, we cannot even get them labeled as we continue to dance with the elephant in the room. With each new dog and pony show we dance the dance like we were the homecoming queen.

Now I remember where I have heard that name before. If I’m not mistaken he lasted less than 1 season with Auburn and that offense was horrible, Florida Gator horrible.

No not really, Tubby’s old line assistants would not warm up to it or prepare the team where Franklin could succeed. Finally one day at practice Franklin freaked out and began coaching the offensive line, receivers, quarterbacks and everyone else to the consternation of the assistants which Tuberville would not let go and let Franklin get his own to begin with. The guy is a very good coach and now as OC at ULM they are in the top ten and that coach is being looked at by some bigger schools.

The offense was just too cutting edge for Auburn at the time and strangely they went to one about like it under Malzahn.
