Tony Franklin -- MTSU OC

[volinathens]

I guess being out of the midstate for several years has left me oblivious to the news around MTSU. Found this article about Tony Franklin's tenure at Auburn. It's a really interesting look at what was going on there, especially since the scenery was likely pretty similar up on the hill surrounding Clawson. I think Franklin got screwed down there and wish him and the MTSU program the best.

Yeah Franklin got screwed. The staff let the pressure get to them and made him the scapegoat. MTSU made a good hire, imo.

MTSU will be putting up lots of points in the next year or so.

That's a really good article. Very long, but worth reading. Yeah he got screwed. I really don't see how Tuberville lasted 10 years in such an environment either.

I thought this quote from Franklin was really funny.

"I've been here a few months now and I don't think I've been recognized once," said Franklin, who was hired as the Blue Raiders' offensive coordinator in February. "I can go out and have a beer somewhere and not worry about winding up on the Internet the next day.
