It wasn’t the firing most people wanted, but twas a firing nonetheless.
Eli Drinkwitz made some waves on Sunday, firing defensive line coach Jethro Franklin not 24 hours after the disastrous loss to Tennessee. It was a quick hook for Franklin, who had only been on staff since January and arrived with plenty of college and professional coaching experience. Coaching experience, however, can’t cover for a talent deficiency (though I agree with Sam that the performance so far probably doesn’t match the true talent level of that unit).
Could there be more change on the way? It’s tough to say.
