Pretty much sums up how I feel about Aubun football.

I like the article and agree with a lot of his points. Not all of them but most.


This point is wrong though. I am no JF3 lover. Personally, I dont believe he was the guy or can he ever be the guy but this statement is untrue

quote:

Maybe that’s because Franklin proved incapable of running the offense.


Franklin truly was never given a legitimate chance to run the offense. Like I said above, I dont thing he could be the guy but he was never given a stretch of time to run the offense without being pulled in and out to get any kind of rhythm with the offense

Auburn fans, you thought you got emotional whiplash going from 2010’s triumphs to 2012’s misery? For our team’s next trick, it’ll go from the Arkansas win to the Georgia loss in all of four weeks.

So true. I cant remember the last time we beat a conference team the way we did Arky, only to lose to Georgia somehow.That was the worst loss of the last 10 years for me. Hes right, we win that the losses to bama and OU are not so bad.

While I agree with that statement, I've wondered how much his lack of preparedness to run the offense was due to poor coaching or his inability to grasp it. Probably a little of both tbh.

He can't run it. He was given every chance in the sugar bowl and pulled himself out of the game because he bruised his forearm. Bruised it. Sean was pissed they took him out of the game after he broke his.

That shite was way too fair and not enough yelling.

Take that link and turn it into Vogue or Good Housekeeping or some shite.

Unfortunately we just don't see what goes on in practice. I agree that he wasn't given a whole lot of opportunity to run the offense in games, but I find it hard to believe, even with our staff, that it was because the coaches weren't wanting him to succeed.

We will never know about JF3, but I have to believe he was a total train wreck or he would have gotten some passing plays to run a real DT offense. It peeked out in the Sugar Bowl but then he bumped his vagina and had to sit down.

Are you talking about Auburn or East Mississippi Community College?

Very well written and I agree with it 100%

This in particular - looking back at the Clemson game:

..."trotting out Franklin and Johnson alongside White (vs. Clemson) as three-headed quarterbacking equals looked stupid beyond all previously accepted measures of stupid. Could the gulf between White and his backups really be that obvious on the playing field and that obscure on the practice field? Is it too much to ask that if every fan knows this is Sean White’s offense to operate by Week 3, that Auburn’s offensive braintrust know the same before Week 1?"

JFIII should be moved to kickoff returns, WR/SE or potentially secondary material... He is not a QB, perhaps he should transfer to a DII school to free up the scholly
