Tony Franklin has been fired after 6 games as offensive coordinator. When he got hired, I didn't think he'd last past year one but a firing in mid-year = :shock:
Wow..."The Guru" experiment at awbern has already crashed, burned, and died

So I wonder what they will do with all those kids who committed to awbern over Troy, Tulsa, UAB, and The Citadel to fit the spread offense. Turn them lose and start recruiting all over again or have a bunch of players that not many teams thought very highly of :think:

They will fit in well at Auburn well still because of this... :salut:

I like the part where yesterday Tubs said a change now would be a, and I quote, "major disaster".....I hope he's right:lollol::lollol:

I hope they win every game, but get killed by UGA. Im sure they will lose 2-3 more though.

I hope they lose every game 213-0.
Anyways, I am going to miss this scene when watching them play:
Tuberville has nine lives so I'm careful to bash this whole experiment and assume we're headed for 3-4 years of mediocrity.
But the words "jump" and "shark" did creep into my mind as I processed this announcement today.
Scuttlebutt is that there are more than a few prominent Auburn people who are loving every minute of this trainwreck(I definitely believe that). Barring a miracle finish, new coach named after Iron Bowl. Someone who can be successful but definitely not a big name like a Saban or Spurrier.
We'll see how it plays out... but Oct. 8 is definitely a good day to be an Alabama fan (but will Nov. 29??).

Tuberville deserves to be run out of town at the end of the season for the way he has handled this. Word on the street is that Franklin was undermined by Tubs's other offensive coaches from the beginning. Reportedly, however, all recruits are still on board. And Bama fans, you may laugh today, but it is a fact that he has been retiring your coaches at an alarming pace with 2 and 3 star recruits for the past 10 years. Who knows what the rest of the season holds? Maybe our offense is terrible and beyond repair, but our defense is good enough to keep us in every game.

This will be interesting to see how you guys go back to the old offense (assuming that's what happens). I'm sure, with our luck, things won't do squat but there will be some kind of amazing career day for Burns (which is what, 11-27, 147 yards and no turnovers
). But cheap shot aside, I do not see how the offense can get worse than it has been.The only coach that Tubberville might have run out is Shula. I whole-heartedly thank him for that
The only recruit that I *think* this might have an effect on is Cotton. I think I read a negative reaction from him, but I could be mistaken. Other than him, all the top players in the class so far still sound like they are on board.

They CLAIM they're sticking with the spread. I honestly don't believe a word Tuberville says any more. We'll know in a couple of days.
Cotton says he is still committed.
This is probably the funniest thing I have seen/heard all week, it was painful to watch the Chik-Fil-A bowl. But I think this just guaranteed your boys a win next month Bama-Fan
