Tony Franklin will not be going to Texas; Cal now has to decide on assistant raises

Cal offensive coordinator Tony Franklin is not going to Austin. After being initially rebuffed, The Texas Longhorns doubled down, went back to Tulsa, and gave Sterlin Gilbert the king's ransom to be their new playcaller. Tulsa is known for their explosive offenses, so that is something to worry about come September when Texas comes to Berkeley for the team's home opener.

Now it's up to Cal to decide how they allot money to Franklin. It's clear that he is becoming a hot commodity. Franklin's offense helped lift the Bears out of the doldrums, and his development of Jared Goff was critical in that turn.
