By Shane from Centerpoint
Well, it didn’t take him long. He hasn’t coached a down of football yet in the SEC, but Auburn’s new offensive coordinator, Tony Franklin, has already has a problem with following the rules. He is apparently upset because the commissioner’s office is making him remove his name from the title of his football instructional package, “The Tony Franklin Systemâ€. Franklin said, “ I’m not happy about it, but I joined the club, so I’ll play by the club’s rulesâ€. In my opinion this joker has an attitude problem. Since when does a “rookie†SEC coach criticize his league’s management and in such a large public venue like The Birmingham News – the state’s largest newspaper.
Apparently Franklin assumed that since the league’s A.D.’s had discussed changing the rule that things would go his way. When the A.D.’s decided to leave the current rules intact, Tony started running his mouth. “The SEC said no. It doesn’t make sense to me,†said Franklin. I guess Tony thinks that Mike Slive and every athletic director in the Southeastern conference is stupid, or a least not as intelligent as he is.
This newly named “The System Seminars†is the original program Franklin started when he resigned from Kentucky after the NCAA started investigating the program. Tell me this guy isn’t a character. He rolls on his fellow coaches, and then writes a book about the entire thing. That was the first sign that Tony is all about Tony. The fact that he tried to profit from the incident says it all.
In my opinion, Tony sat around and made notes while Hal Mumme and Mike Leach created a multiple wide receiver “spread†offense and designed hundreds of plays that originated from this strategy. Did Tony Franklin invent the system that formerly carried his name? I doubt it. However, he is the first person to market the offense nationwide. I’ll give him credit for that.
Franklin seemed defiant when he said, “I’ll continue to speak at clinics where there are not student athletesâ€. I guess he has to be available for high school coaches to consult with him each week. I think he feels obligated since that is part of the package he sells. By the way, when does he have time to coach the Auburn offense?
I’m going to be the first one to fire the shot across the bow and say that Tony Franklin is a loose cannon. His mouth is going to get him (or Auburn) in trouble some where down the line. Tommy Tuberville has kept the reigns tight on most of the men who have coached under him. Tony is fast becoming the “mouth of the Southâ€, with his arrogant attitude out-shining even Tuberville. Talking smack about SEC rules and openly disrespecting the league’s Athletic Directors shows Franklin doesn’t care what anybody else thinks.
Did Tony really think that he and Tuberville could use his camps as a recruiting tool? I bet the SEC did too. Maybe that’s why they shut him down.

“Seriously, Aubbos…
What is the excuse for Franklin.
Why did the “sucessful football consultant†who has marketed his program to so many schools have to go bankrupt?”
just shows how much attention you have actually paid to Franklin’s situation.
He went bankrupt after he couldn’t get a coaching job. then, he began selling the system and got himself out of financial trouble. maybe you consider getting your facts straight before trying to insult someone. oh, wait, bammers don’t deal in facts. my bad.
Shane you IGNORANT SLUT!
The TIGERS are coming!
The 50+ is coming!
The BEATDOWN is coming!
Blow Tide Blow!
Okay, so anyway…YES Auburn doesnt seem to mind that there Offensive Coordinator is bankrupt.
Next question. Franklin had 2 years to go to the NCAA. Why did he wait until he was about to lose his job (Due to disagreements with Mumme and other staff( before he did the right thing?
And no one can explain the whole “Victor’s Victory” thing. Only a world class piece of garbage could watch a young man basically run himself to death (conditioning himself for the “no Huddle” offense) and then blame the school for not having a defib handy. Thankfully Franklin wrote a book about it, absolving himself of any wrong doing.
Aubbos, there are reasons why Franklin was blackballed. You just chose to wishfully think they want come back to haunt you.
You can mark my words on this one Aubbos.
By the time Franklin leaves Lee County, Terry Bowden will have become a pleasant memory.

Why should Auburn fans be concerned with Franklin’s financial situation? He was hired as an “offensive coordinator” and not a financial advisor. I don’t get the connection, other than Shane’s pathetic attempt to create an issue where no issue exists.
You want a topic to feed on, an honest to goodness Alabama topic:
Contrary to what appeared to be another Mal Moore hiring debacle before finally hiring Saban and saving the day. The Saban deal was done shortly after the Mississippi State loss and well before any other offers were made.
On the day Rich Rodriguez turned down the Tide I overheard a conversation between a concerned Tide fan and a very calm Tide fan. The calmer fan said, “don’t worry about it, Rodriguez was never our man”. He further stated that “on January 3 at 11am Nick Saban will be announced as our new head coach. I know because I am connected with the Bama program”.
Interesting too that the media began its crusade against Shula at this time. Could it be the media were on Bama’s payroll? And it seems Finebaum has been onboard ever since.
tmc, you asked earlier for Auburn to investigate CTF. Well, why don’t you Bammers go and investigate JJ’s business and see how many other players and coaches were involved. Using Capstone’s investigative methods and theories, you can’t have just one guy selling dope with out “everybody else” knowing about it.
Get to it Shanelock Holmes!
We dont have to investigate JJ. He was arrested so eveidently there is some morality in Tuscaloosa, Unlike Auburn. Where as long as you are winning nobody asks any questions.
By the way…. no one answered any of the questions. If any of this would have been brought up about a Bama coach. We would have never heard the end of it.
Just goes to show that Aubbos cant seem to measure themselves by the same expectations they have for others. Right Aubbos?
You damn Nick Saban for things that arent half as bad as some of the things your coaches have pulled.
Tmc, there only 3 refences to saban in all the responses.two of those were made by the same person. So the only one talking about damning saban is you.do you think ctf could have been arguing with the staff about cheating,(Its a stretch)but you don’t have a clue what really happened do you? Its sad that you would blame some young mans death on a coach.We get it you don’t like him but basically accusing him of killing a kid is ridiculous.
TMC,
Mama said your Sugar Tit is ready, come and get it.
The Tigers are coming!
The Beatdown is coming!
The Sugar Tit is coming!
After the Beatdown,
What pride you have is GONE!
War Chicken & Blow Tide Blow!
Danny
there you go….. doing the typical Aubbo trick and conveniently forgetting.
So you are saying that there have only been 3 remarks made by Aubbos about Nick Saban in history. Nope look again. Read any bama blog and you will see it happens all the time. Next falsehood please.
Tony Franklin had 2 years to tell the NCAA. And he did nothing until Mumme was about to sack him.
So how is Franklin different from Terry Bowden? You have no answer do you. Your answer is to change the subject.
And your corn pone niavte’ is just sad.
But for the fact Victor Hill was running the “no-huddle, fast-paced, fast tempo” offense (quote: Tommy Tuberville) to the point his heart stopped he wouldnt have needed a defib now whould he?
Doesnt that show you that Franklin might not be the right man for a Coaching Job? He is responsible for these young men’s safety. Instead he put lives at risk and someone died making his grandiose plans and expectations a reality.
Make no mistake. Victor Hill would still be alive today if Coach Tony Franklin cared more about the players and less about “his system”
SHANEHATERS is a Blogger /AKA/ Ballplay/etc..etc…
Let me gurss. I respond and then I get to hear that I am a hypocrite who has a potty mouth…etc…etc..etc…
Tell YOUR MOM I’m not interested in her sagging dehydrated Lee County style tits. If she will wash them maybe she could get a man. (I am sorry I meant KEEP A MAN.Who isnt homeless…..)
Dont whine you asked for this…..
People….Dont encourage tmc1….There is no reasoning with this doosher….I tried for a while, and now have given up hope. It is a waste of time and energy to try to understand him. Dont bother.
FACT: Franklin did in seven days of practise in getting ready for a bowl game what Alabama hasn’t been able to do since Stallings left…and what Saban hasn’t done in his last 3 years as a head coach…..win a big game!!!!
Imagine what he WILL do this year with a little time to install his “System”. The Bammers are still running scared from the Tommy lead Auburn Tigers and this blog proves it. They are afraid of our Head coach, our coordinators, our chaplin, our mascot, our two in-state stadiums, our fans and most impotantly our team. Run Shane Run!
ITS GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!
PS. Did anyone watch the replay of the 1996 SEC CG pitting Florida against Bama? Boy that Stalling was a real defensive genius wasn’t he!
tmc, I guess when Bear does everything in his power to kill half of the football team at Junction, TX it’s a wonderful, heart warming story about the virtues of hard work and and dedication. When a tragedy occurs involving a coach at Auburn, he’s a freakin murderer and a scumbag for having the audacity to publicly bestow the potential lifesaving virtues of having defibrilators close by at practices. (btw, do you also berate Brother Oliver in the same manner when he plugs defibrilators on the Finebaum show?)
P.S. Spare me your response about how no one knew the dangers of heat stroke in the 50′s. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that running someone like a dog in 100+ heat could kill someone.
No tmc I was talking about this specific blog.not so sure what trick I was trying to pull just stating the truth. One diffirence between ctf and bowden is one is coaching at auburn, and the other is sportscaster. Also, its nice to see the so called “incident” you had with your daughter reading your computer screen has had an impact on how you act on this blog. Just another internet tough guy.
Looks like Shane struck a nerve in the Aubbies Spinal Cord with this one. Still makes you wonder why Tony was still at Troy being that hes so great of a coordinator, He even writes books about how great he is but yet no one wanted him but AUB. Hope they do run the spread with a Freshman QB, All the DBs in the SEC will be licking their chops waiting in those easy pick Interceptions.Cody won’t last the first two games.
Crimson…..Do you know what you are? Let me tell you what you are….Just another delusional jackass bammer….. No one….Not even the king of delusion tmc1…would say that T.T. doesnt know how to scout coaching talent. Hes probably a better coaching recruiter than a player recruiter. Franklins offense ranked 16th in the NATION last year at freekin TROY …TROY…Ill say it again…TROY !!!!! Troy sux….They did it against thier OOC opponents that were not sunbelt conference teams..The three teams that Troy and Auburn both played. Troy WAAAAAAYYYYYYY outscored Auburn. That was against Arkansas, Georgia, and who else? Im thinking , but Im drawing a blank… Anyhooo, You will soon see what Auburn with Tony Franklin is capable of….No more of those “close” moral victory iron bowls that you bammers love to hang your hats on. Im thinking around the neighborhood of 37 – 10 Auburn….
Look if Barn Fans get so pissed about reading shanes articles then why read them.
The good ole days for AU was over last NOV, Im seeing 9+ in a row over you Aubbies.Hope you saved all those Sunday news papper articles so you’ll have something positive to read about over the next decade.(TellEm Tide Fan 11)
You Bambies are true “IDIOTS”. Oh, how I love when AU beats your butt every year.
Last time i checked bambi was a deer.. u show ur incompetence by refering to a deer as an idiot.. truly a real man of genius.. anyways it must eat at you knowing that the tide is rising and the barn is burning thats why u left that post am i correct.. and that goes for all other barners .. The barn is going to be bama’s Bitch
Shane, Shane…Don’t be jealous just because you aren’t the only person who owns a patent on running your mouth. But I have to give credit where it is due: your mouth is better than most old toilets at running constantly, and probably should should be replaced rather than fixed…
Shane and his KLAN on this blog is SCARED to death of the Mighty AUBURN TIGERS!
You can run but you cannot hide.
The BEATDOWN is coming.
Shane you are such a Dumb ass Bama Homer. Seriously you write the most worthless articles but you have some DA BAMMERS that lap this shit up.
So I guess it is one Dumb Ass catering to a Dumb ass Crimson Neck Nation.
Round the Bowl
Down the Hole
Roll Turd Roll
Got Croom? Oh wait that is because the university is ran by racist.
Crimson Says:Hope they do run the spread with a Freshman QB,
hey idiot last time i checked kodi burns was here last year and he wasnt redshirted. just ask florida and clemson as to who kodi burns is.
oh and did al borges put 30 points on georgia last year? dont think so but ctf did when he was at troy.
and his offense was 16th in the nation in yards per game and 25th in scoring offense let me ask you bammers this what was bamas offense ranked last year try 75th in yards per game and 65th in points per game. that is facts from espn.
say all you want because all tiger fans are the ones who will be laughing in t-town after auburn puts up win 7 in a row

nuff said
Shane, man such hate! And for a coach that hasn’t even beaten the snot out of the tide yet. All the conjecture sure is nice though, but that’s true to form for bammers. Just make it up as you go, say or write it, and it becomes true! That was pretty idiotic even for Shane. I think I’m gonna go take a big Shane right now.
tmc, how in the hell can you make the accusation that TF killed the young man because of the no huddle? It is a rare tragedy when something like this happens on a athletic field. If you are half as intelligent as you try and portray yourself then you would repost that what you said is nothing more than biased rhetoric.
No one knows what went down at KY but the blacklist that Franklin endured is over. He now has a chance to redeem himself. This season will tell what he is capable of. I for one am exited.
As far as ripping off the system goes, have you ever heard of marketing? That is all he is doing with the system. Shane just lashes out an any negative regarding AU. This is a small non-issue.
Arrogance is a crimson trait so I get you recognizing it.
AUBURN’S DOMINANCE MUST BE OVER
Bama not only beat AUBURN in the recruiting polls, they now out rank us in the TOP 20 PARTY SCHOOLS.
WHATS NEXT – The top 20 Universities most easily accepted into.
My God, will it never end?
Footbogey…Do not try to figure out tmc1. You cant….Plus, why would you want to?
For the last time quit complaining u bunch of winey little bitches like i said if u dont like it dont look u bunch of fucking ignorant bastards.. And “shanes pain” Auburn may have been dominant over the past 6 years but what do they have to show for it i mean really think about it…. oh wait there not offering any more basket weaving classes to enhance your intellectual ability.. And for “Footbogey” I would rather have arrogance than have stupidity and ignorance any day of the week
Hey Ballplay Indian,did you fall out of your High Chair, must have.Do you really know why Tony was not wanted anywhere else in the whole wide world.
JUST ASK ALL THE COACHES AT KENTUCKY,im sure they would not mind discussing it with you. He’s a RAT in human form, when you turn on your fellow subordinates just to try and cover up your own screw ups seems kind of selfish to me how about you.
So you can see why he’s at AUB now,RIGHT!! Speaking of self centered.
Crimson….Exactly how in the hell do you pretend to know anything about Tony Franklin ? Did you ” ask the Kentucky coachs”? That would be kind of hard considering NONE OF THEM WORK THIER ANYMORE !!!!!You know nothing about Tony Franklin. Quit acting like your “connected”. Like him or not , I dont care. In fact, Im glad you dont like him. It tells me that he must be a threat..Heck, I freekin loved Shula. Hated to see him go.
Tide fane 11..Did you forget to take your retalin? I will do as I please here, and you cant do anything. So Zip it boy…
Ballplay Indian,I see you did’nt fall out of your high chair, your still in it. Are you off of Gerber yet and trying solid foods, guess not cause you act like your still pooping yellow.
Im sure you do wish shula was still in T-Town because all you barners know whats coming in the near future.By the way, you called Tide Fan 11 a boy im glad you look up to ypur Elders.
Wow Ball Play arent you the man in charge hey Crimson i think I struck a nerve..
Just a question, do you think Jimmy Johns will roll on any of the Bama players that he might have sold cocaine to for a lighter sentence? It will really hit the fan then but I am sure it will not be Saban’s fault and part of the process is getting half the team involved in the legal system.
Ah that sound of a real ‘bammer’ complaining about breaking the rules. Isn’t that funny bammers taling about Auburn. Why you would think bammers are the only ones ever to play by the rules. And you know they did, Coach Bryants, just check the reccord over the last 50 years. If finally came home to roost right at the foot of the ‘red elephant bammers’ all the lies of the past are now sitting at home w/them. So Sorry!
Ahh- I just took a Shane and used this article to wipe my ass. Shane, its time to pump Bama this year and stop writing about the nobodies. Bama is going to be awesum this year and with all of the weapons they have Saban is going to lead them to the promised land and get number 13.
The NFL is lucky that Bama is just in the SEC and not in the NFL because they would get 5-7 wins eaasy in the NFL. Teams like the Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, Bills, 49ers, and Falcons could not stop the power of JPW and Julio Jones with a great mastermind of Saban behind it. Shane keep up the good work homie.
RTR
No nerve struck, jusst calling out a couple of jackass bammers…Good day…
Tide Fan 11:
Several things have been accomplished with the 6 years of Auburn dominace (if you want to limit it to just 6 years).
The one thing that stands out for me is the FACT that Auburn with Tommy’s leadership has been able to take the Bama nation and single handedly made the vast majority of the Bama nation the most envious, disrespected, closed minded, excuse laden, taken for granted, whiney ass, sad and pathetic fan base in the NCAA and maybe all of sports. I take GREAT pleasure in that! I find it amusing and satisfing.
Most of the Bama appreciaters I know would most likely agree with me on that because they are reasonable people and of sound mind. It’s the bama goobers on this blog, Shane’s followers if you will, and 80% or more of the sold out spring game attendees that I refer to.
That is the real signifigance behind the dominance of Auburn this century not to mention the records and history you goobers like to fall back on.
IT’S GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!
Wow, what a coincidence, ESPN has the Top Ten Most Hated college programs and Alabama came in 8th. Here is why:
8. Alabama
Many college football fans are tired of hearing about Paul “Bear” Bryant. The Crimson Tide will never stop talking about him.
Seems it’s not jusy us “Aubarnie’s” that despise the tired worn out excuses from the past dwelling goobers!
AUBURN is the 8th most hated in the SEC, Bama is first. Here is their reasoning:
1. Alabama: Tide fans cling to the past with an obsessive desperation. Hate to break it to you, but Bear Bryant and all his brilliance ain’t coming back.
8. Auburn: What’s with the rolling of Toomer’s Corner? Obviously, there’s not much else to do on The Plains. That is, outside of beating Alabama every year.
Again, not just us Auburnites that despise the ignorance of the Bama nation!
The question is if the streak makes it to 10 is Saban still the head coach of the Crimson Tide?
Looks as if Bama has finally started to see the light with the hiring of Dave Hart.
Must be planning on firing Mal and Sabie Baby at the end of this years debacle that statrs with Clemson and ends with Auburn. Too many Tigers!
Didn’t little nicky get in trouble faster for illegal contact?
Hey Shane,
It is me again, the thorn in your side who sees through all the crap that you spew out of that Centerpoint mouth of yours.
Talk about throwing a program under the bus, why dont you look at the Miami Dolphins first and then look at LSU. Nicky is loyal to no one except the pocketbook. You’d better hope AU doesnt stomp another mudhole in you for the 7th time or Nicky and your daddy Fineflame will have another 7 months to talk about “what happened” to Alabama football.
WDE Blow tide.
As i look back on this post I see a lot of names that dissappeared due to the fact they didnt have the manhood to admit that they were mistaken…. Sad. Its not so great to be an Aubbo Tiger now is it boys?
Six Down Now Seven: “All you losers think that running mouths win ballgames and ward off demons. FYI, Auburn will kick Bama’s ass royally.”
36-0… where are you at now, you little pansy ass bitch? Is your username referring to how many losses Opelika had last year? Maybe now you should change it to “EightDownNowNine” referring to how many losses Cheez it will deliver you guys next year!
