Too cool Tony

I look at pictures and video of former Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin and he looks like so many other football coaches. A bit overweight, scowl on his face and ready to snap. But give him credit for waiting two weeks before talking about his unceremonious push out the door, along with his spread offense.

I thought he would start spouting off immediately. He told an Alabama newspaper he thought it was in his best interest to wait before commenting publicly to make sure he didn't speak out of emotion. What even seems more awkward is that he doesn't seem that upset. I know getting to collect a hefty check and not having to work has its perks.

But football coaches want to coach. Their egos are huge and they all think they can outcoach anyone in the country. Tony is apparently trying to buy back into his football consulting business, the "Tony Franklin System." It was pretty successful before he decided to go to Auburn. Not so sure how many high school coaches will want to pay for his advice now.

Good luck Tony.
