TT says he'll say in the next couple of days who will call the plays vs Arkansas at home on Saturday.

I was really hoping Franklin would still be around when we played them. Any ideas on who might replace him?

Wasn't it yesterday that Tubby said the only way Franklin would leave Auburn was in a pine box? 8)

I'm trying to decide whether or not this is good for Ole Miss and/or Arkansas.

Following the 14-13 loss to Vanderbilt last Saturday, several players openly questioned the direction of the offense.

The next day, Tuberville tried to diffuse some of the talk out there and emphasized that it was no time to panic. He added that Franklin was his coordinator and would be the guy in charge of finding some answers to the Tigers' offensive struggles.

That all changed Wednesday afternoon when Tuberville relieved Franklin of his coaching duties.

It is all according to how you interpret what the word is means. He added that Franklin WAS his coordinator. Now that can mean he is my guy or he was my guy until I fired him. As far as the fact that he would be in charge of finding some answers to the Tiger's offensive struggles what he really means is this skrew up is going to really haunt him for the foreseeable future and that he would be in search of answers as to what went wrong with them Tigers.

It's Tommy speak, you just have to know the guy.

On one hand, it throws more turmoil into their offense and might get them more out of sync. On the other hand, they may simplify their awful offense and start performing better. One sure thing is that they will have to decide on one QB.
