Tony Franklin hired at MTSU

Featured Replies

One of my buddies played for him in HS and does not have good things to say and I'll leave it at that. I could care less about the guy honestly, just pointing out that with him coaching in college aside from Mid-Major IE Troy, his system doesn't work.

 

You said it wasn't the system that was being discussed . :idunno: That it was about Franklin?:confused: Now you say his system doesn't work. Does anyone remember the bowl Auburn played in when Tony was 1st hired? The system was put in a short period of time and they won. Everyone was all happy then.:sssh:

The problems it seems people have issues with are 1. him personally and B. his ability to coach/motivate/or implement his particular scheme in Big time college football

 

I don't think anyone is screaming the spread doesn't work in general, just with him at the helm, I hope this clears up what I'm saying

What happened at Auburn?? He went 5-2!! They won one game after he was fired and that was against UT-martin. Sounds like something was working! I think that is the one stat that matters.

 

They won ugly with a spread scheme, which I think is a positive in Tony's favor. They scored fewer points and gained fewer yards after he left, which is a positive in Tonys favor. Tony was the only person on the staff that wanted to run that system and he admits that was his mistake in going there. The staff has to buy in. He is hard headed, because he won't be bringing in anyone at Middle either. I hope they buy in. Auburn got rid of that entire staff and brought in some people willing to run Malzahns spread system. Tubberville still has his job if his old staff would have bought in.

I will bet 99% of the bashing on here is because he turned Mumme in and sent UK to the dark ages for several years in football.

Yea I'm sure a man in his 50's changed a lot well into adulthood when his head only got bigger:lol:

I bet someone who played with your buddy....in high school don't like him(your buddy) either comes with the territory. hahaha.

I've been made aware that no one is allowed to have an opinion about him

It might be a little different if it was your opinion and not your friends. Tell your friend to join the site and share his opinion. I'm sure guru would love to have such and insightful new member!

I'll pass that along, and once again, thanks :clap:

I keep hearing people say it doesnt work at the college level...yet Tony brought the system into Troy and had a ton of success. He had success at Troy against SEC schools too.

You gotta love coaching everyone is a critic, yet Tony has made his first million getting paid to run an offense that don't work! LOL, if anything he is a good salesman!

Heard he's trying to "sell" Tony Guidugli on being his next QB at MTSU

Good for Tony Guidugli he would do fine at that level. Any other news about him?
