We had this happen last week - a situation where we have too many quality comments on a topic and can’t decide on just one. So, like last time, we’ll throw them all out there and let JC and Vinnie decide.
As you may have heard, Auburn has just fired offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Basically, Auburn was near the bottom of college football in just about every offensive category, and the team just lost to Vanderbilt. While Franklin has written books and sold his “system” to many high schools, the spread did not work too well for the Tigers. You can check here for more on Franklin’s firing.
With the backgorund out of the way, here are our many different takes on the firing of Tony Franklin…
(1) Apparently Auburn fired the guy who gave the term “offensive coordinator” a double meaning.
(2) Auburn fired its offensive coordinator for being an “offensive” coordinator.
(3) Tony Franklin, the man who put the “oops” in oop-de-oop offense.
(4) Word out of Auburn is that the Tigers have fired Tony Franklin, the man who gave new meaning to the job title, offensive coordinator. When Tuberville was asked who would replace Franklin as the head of the Auburn offense, Tuberville noted that just about anyone, or anything, could do a better job than Franklin in rallying the Tigers’ offense.
And with that in mind, we give you the number one candidate on the list for Auburn’s next O.C: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
