It's Do or Die for Tommy Tuberville and Auburn's 'Spread Eagle' Offense

.  Another lackluster performance by the offense will generate bigger and harder questions that may prove to be too tough to answer for Tuberville and his staff.

In Tuberville's tenure at Auburn, I don't think he has ever put himself in a more vulnerable position then the one he has put himself in now.  You think Tuberville has any regrets about Franklin right now?

He would be a liar if he said he didn't have one ounce of regret in the hiring of Franklin, not because he doesn't have faith in Tony's coaching ability and system but regrets putting his ass on the line for this guy.  It was a gutsy and controversial move by Tommy, and it is sink or swim with Franklin and this offense.

With Borges and company as offensive coordinators, Tubby never felt the responsibility like he feels now with Franklin at the helm.

It is as if Tubbs is Franklin's daddy and Tony just turned two.  Franklin is opening up every cabinet, drawer, box and bottle he can find in Tuberville's house known as the Auburn Football program. 

It has taken Tubbs a while to baby proof his program so that Franklin doesn't destroy everything that Tommy has worked so hard to build.  One thing is for certain when it comes to Tuberville and taking responsibility for poor performances; he doesn't.

If Franklin doesn't learn the rules of the house quickly, it won't be long before Tuberville puts him up for adoption with a tag around his neck that reads "Bad Baby."

The games only get harder from here on out for Auburn, with LSU and Tennessee making house calls the next two weeks.  So the task at hand tonight is clear for Tuberville and his Tigers; get the offense on track now or never.
