OC Tony Franklin Out At Auburn?
Hired last year to install a no-huddle, Spread offense, Franklin has reportedly been let go by Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville. That's the report coming from the Opelika-Auburn News as the Tigers prepare to face Arkansas at 4 p.m. Saturday.
Franklin, who spent the last two years at Troy, was brought to Auburn to run the spread offense - or the "Tony Franklin System" which has been installed at high school programs across the country.
Franklin's offense hasn't lived up to its expectations this season, as the Tigers are 4-2, 2-2 in the SEC.
The offense is near or at the bottom in most offensive categories in the SEC and the country. Auburn ranks 104th in total offense (309.2 yards per game), 105th in pass efficiency (104.98), tied for 111th in red zone offense (65 percent) and 112th in third-down conversions (29.7 percent).
