No offensive coordinator will work at Auburn as long as Tubb retains his offensive cronies, (with exception to Eddie Grann) after all there have been 5 in his ten years there! Shouldn’t that tell us all something!

Anyone heard of a high school called Hoover? They were pretty good. Oh anyone heard of a school called Troy? They pretty good too.
With this so called “new offense” Auburn is putting in now since Franklin left is going to be funny to watch. Hell I watched them and their Rec. couldn’t catch, OL sucked I saw them get in a 3 point stance 4 times against VANDY and their Center got his butt kicked everytime. Funny I can’t wait to watch against WVU tomorrow night.

[...] Franklin is Fired! SEC Football Blogger called for it Saturday night” Fire Tony Franklin” and now it has happened. I am sure Tony Franklin is a very nice guy, but he had no business [...]

So does anyone know why Pat Dye was in Arkansas today? I was wondering if it had something to do with the upcomming game or if they are scouting for a coach.

I looked on the back of a milk carton today, and low and behold there was a “Missing Persons” alert for the Auburn Offense. Tony Franklin HAS to go, and go now. Not at the end of the year…but now, before the Arkansas game. I am glad there is a cantonyfranklin website. And to think, people were paying $3k for this guys spread offense. He would have to pay ME to try to use his crap. Franklin HAS to go!

i totally agree and what makes the matter worse is that chris todd keeps starting because he his tony franklins little bia oh he really knows the spread better sure is that why thier doing so good or is it that he is slower than a turtle and no team is convinced that he will take off any play . i just feel so bad for the defense bieng so great and having it taken away from them i mean damn look at how long they are on the field compared to the offense and they get 3rd and outs i hope franklin is gone by the end of the season i am a die hard auburn fan but i will not watch another game untill the iron bowl because of how poorly we are playing and its not just because we are loosing if we lost and played a good football game id be happy with that

Hello my AU commrades:
My Background: AU Walk-on, semi pro ball. PhD.Education & Psychology–
Now then, at one time I talked to Tuberville when he first arrived at Auburn. I asked key questions about the offense… back when there were great backs like Brown and Cadillac. Becuase of their talent, there was no real offenseive game plan or key plays for the red zone which shocked me when conversing. That is why we can never opt for the Natl.Championship. If you cannot get a first down in critical games to run out the clock or have a bread and butter play for last minute yardage, you will lose. Currently, Tubbs is a deffensive coordinator at best. The new Spread has to be worked in and combined w/ current talent and other schemes……You are going to tell me that the new scheme is only the spread? The past game showed a lack of plays..!! x 10..!! Play selection , play selection , play selection. Not fair to the student athletes because of inept, incompetent coaches. The only scheme I saw Saturday was Tate right sweep. No screens, draw, or tight end plays. No innovativeness. Now there is no discipline w/ penalties and personal grudge fights(pers.foul) on the line. Reminds me of the rise and fall of Fla. State.
Good Luck guys..enough for now.
