FUCK YOU TONY FRANKLIN

[Lurking Tiger]

Shit

[Ranger12]

I think I am watching the most inept AU offense as long as I can remember. It would not matter who our QB is, as seen tonight, our play calling is pathetic. I am officially on the "fire Tony Franklin" bandwagon. I should have been more skeptical of a guy who goes around selling his offense to high schools.

Not taking away anything from Vandy. I think Bobby Johnson has been one of the most underrated coaches the last few years and should have been a candidate for bigger jobs. He will now for sure. However, we are better then this crap I am seeing.

[Tiger Six]

He needs to be able to put his name back on his system and begin peddling it to high schools again.

[tiger88]

Tghis guy is motherfucking clueless.

He drops kodi straight back in the pocket for like the last 6 or 8 passes he attempted. Then on the second pass when he brings todd in he rolls him out to the right????????????????????

Are you fucking kiddng me? You drop the running/throwing qb back deep and roll out the "pocket passer".
It's like he doesn't want to give burns a chance to play towards his strengths. It's like he was sabotaging the playcallin towards burns so he can justify playing todd all the way.

Did someone tell todd we had one play left on first down with two minutes left in the game? I can't think of any other reason to throw it up for grabs.


Stick a fucking fork in me! I'm done!

[Rancid Milk]

Somebody got some 'splainin' to do...

[Tiger Six]

This all goes to coaching and playcalling on offense.  Well, that and the mancrush that Franklin has for a certain player.

Shit, after this season I don't think theres a damn high school who would by it.
 No matter how shitty we've been so far this year I never imagined in my worse nightmare we'd loose to Vandy.  FUCK!!!

My soul aches

I don't think it matters who our QB is. I saw pathetic play calling with both QBs. On 4th and 1 we line up in the shotgun and pitch out to Tate, barely getting the first down. We would you put yourself 3-4 yards deeper at the snap in 4th and 1 and the game on the line? Both QBs have problems and I don't see much difference between the offense with either one of them in.

Todd's arm is weak and Burn's is inconsistent. Burns is more mobile, but the defense knows that when he is in the game, the odds that we are running the ball greatly increases. With Todd, they have to respect the pass a little more then they do with Burns. Notice I said just a little more. I think CTT really said a lot this past week when he made the comment that sort of alluded that we don't have the talent to run this offense yet. If so, we need to to like we did in the first half and put the QB under center and run the ball. Thing is, I am not sure I want Tony Franklin around long enough to get the right talent in.

[Talon]

I swear to GOD if I hear that muthafucka make some some dumbass "I'm an idiot" speech tomorrow I'm gonna drive from Central Ga to AU and kick his ass!!!!! Wonder how Tubbs is gonna spin this monumental cluster fuck?!?!? Fuck it! I'm gonna go look at some porn...

I will split the gas/driving with you.

[Talon]

Cool. If we're splitting the driving I may have enough energy left after kicking Franklin's ass to cock punch Tubbs too.

[Snaggletiger]

There's no doubt whatsoever that Franklin needs to receive his severence pay and shown the door.  Immediately.  I'm not 100% certain they don't need to call Tommy in for a heart to heart.

First off, let's discuss Franklin.  Not a lot needed here.  This guy calls the plays.  He designs the offense.  He...not CTT...wanted Chris Todd.  His play calling boggles the mind of most 6th graders.  They can't decide which offense to run and when they do...it's blatantly...BLATANTLY the wrong call.  2nd and 1 and you need to drive the length of the field and you're in the shotgun.  Chris Todd....well, let's just say, there was a point when I announced to everyone in the room that if Todd came in next series, Tuberville needs to be treated like Steinbrenner treated Billy Martin.

Now, Tommy Tuberville.  This is when we need Stat Tiger to confirm this.  But, I think I saw where this team has gotten progressively worse in the SEC since 2004.  We have 2 losses at this point and there's no one other than Tenn. Martin left on our schedule that we have ANY chance of beating.  Those naysayers, please explain how this offense will score enough to beat Arkansas, Ole Miss, Georgia, West Virginia or Alabama.  Please, someone try to spin this shit.

Now, let me be clear.  This was a team effort.  Have you ever seen an offensive line desintigtrate like this one.  This was VANDERBILT.  I'm not talking about the name.  I'm referring to the LAST PLACE defense in the SEC.  They ate Tommy Tuberville, Hugh Nall and Tony Franklin's pany fuckin' ass offense for lunch.  

Oh...OH....OOOOHHH...and can someone EXPLAIN to me how you go under center for two series to start the game and rip off 12-13 yards a pop....and NEVER go back to it?   PLEEEEASE...some one explain that shit.  Does anyone need more evidence to support the premise that CTT and this entire staff have freakin' LOST IT????  I'm out!!!

It's the same question I started asking when the same thing happened against Tennessee.  There is NO hiding and NO spin that excuses going away from what worked for two straight games in two straight first quarters, and then completely abandoned.

Complete failure of a coaching staff.  No excuse.  None.  Zero.

[AuburnChopper 3.0]

No counter plays.  No motion.  No misdirection.  5 total plays, and a quarterback capable of running 3 of those.   The most ridiculously stubborn and inept offensive coaching staff in NCAA football.   

Fail!

It's more than just playcalling, although that is critical.  Go back and look at the doomsday article I wrote after the first week. 

Pathetic fundamentals by the quarterback, in particular, plague this team.  Pathetic.

This ranks up there with among the worst debacles in Auburn football history.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of a more humiliating loss except perhaps the loss to Memphis during the Barfield years. 

What's even sadder is that we could all see it coming. 

BTW, did that awesome Tennessee defense save their bacon against Sister Mary's of the Poor tonight? 

God, this offense is awful. 

[AUJarhead]

Tony Franklin has taken the fun out of watching Auburn Football for me.

This is my problem as well Jarhead.  I seriously don't look forward to watching Auburn football right now, and I hate that.  I'm completely frustrated.

[Hogwally]

You guys cheer up, me and my Hogs are coming to town next week, and we can make anyone's offense look good.  We make so many mistakes on special teams, you'll end up with a short field at least a couple times.

Arkansas will beat us by 6. Mark it down.
