The Auburn family is in a famine and the only man with grain is Coach Tuberville. I was upset with the way an Auburn Man like Coach Franklin was let go. But Coach Tuberville and Coach Chet are doing what they can to stop the Famine from Spreading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-23287155162003408372008-10-09T21:50:00.000-05:002008-10-09T21:50:00.000-05:00Mr. Anonymous,Turberville did not say "Auburn ran ...Mr. Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Turberville did not say "Auburn ran the spread 50 percent of the time last year" he said "we ran 50% of the spread last year"<BR/><BR/>I think what he means is Auburn ran a kind of half-spread offense.

He said Auburn ran the spread 50 percent of the time last year. Did you see Auburn play? That wasn't the spread. <BR/>If that's Tuberville's idea of the spread, then yes, maybe they will run it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-81817423272660419742008-10-09T13:28:00.000-05:002008-10-09T13:28:00.000-05:00I agree that the whole story isn't out there.

They like running things how they see fit. <BR/><BR/>My guess here is that Tuberville wanted to tweak Franklin's offense too much, Franklin wanted autonomy to run his offense and the two couldn't find a common ground.<BR/><BR/>Really, how against the spread can Tuberville be if he maintains they still plan to run it this season and in the future? This situation sounds more like a personality clash than anything.Andy Bitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653266257744434147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-20826077514432193312008-10-09T12:31:00.000-05:002008-10-09T12:31:00.000-05:00I don't think we have heard the "whole" truth as t...I don't think we have heard the "whole" truth as to why Franklin was fired. Tuberville is obviously trying to handle the situation delicately and trying not to make Tony Franklin look too bad. But I bet there were some pretty heated debates/arguments behind the scenes between Turberville and Franklin.<BR/><BR/>Turberville wanted to run a spread offense, that's why he hired Franklin. He didn't hire Franklin then get stuck with the spread. Franklin's game plans and play calls weren't producing, so he's out. I think Tuberville made tough, but correct decision. Whether or not the spread actually stays, we'll find out soon enough. But I really think Tuberville wants to run it, he just didn't like the lack of production coming from Franklin's coaching.Scott H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10796363575798456915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-76911484607149009272008-10-09T11:34:00.000-05:002008-10-09T11:34:00.000-05:00If they're not changing anything, why did Franklin...If they're not changing anything, why did Franklin get fired? <BR/>I hope that's just more of Tubs' BS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
