Auburn fires their offensive coordinator
That didn’t take long. Former OC Tony Franklin was hired away last December from Troy, and now he’s gone after six games.
Two days ago ESPN had an article that said in part “But contrary to some of the scuttlebutt out there among fans, Tuberville isn’t at odds with Franklin and insists that he’s not contemplating making a change or taking the play-calling duties away from Franklin.”
Tuberville today: “After evaluating where we are at this point of the season offensively, I felt it was in the best interest of the Auburn football program to make this change…I am personally going to take a larger role with the offense the remainder of the season.”
Just when you thought Auburn’s offense couldn’t get any worse.

Hopefully they pull a reverse Texas and steal our OC.

But will this be the end of THE Tony Franklin SYSTEM?!

I heard that this summer, Auburn fans were bidding up e-bayed copies of some kind of book that had his offensive theories like it was a ’90s tech stock.

True story: My brother bought a car a few years ago, and the guy who was making the financing deal was THE Tony Franklin.

I think it’s only fair that we help Auburn at this critical juncture in their program.
