A few weeks ago Coach Franklin had the opportunity to be the guest on USA Football’s Coach and Coordinator Podcast. The host of the podcast is Coach Keith Grabowski (@coackkgrabowski) who is the Director of Football Operations for USA Football. Coach Gross mentioned it in last week’s discussion board post so I wanted to share it with everyone. The article to the story, written by Matt Reed, is listed below, along with the link to listen to the podcast. We hope you enjoy it. We would love to hear your thoughts on the podcast or if you have anything to add about anything you are doing at practice, on the field, or off the field that is giving you the winning edge!
“The guest on today’s Coach and Coordinator podcast is Middle Tennessee State University offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tony Franklin. Franklin is in his third season with the Blue Raiders and has led their offense to become one of the best in the nation. In 2016, Middle Tennessee was ranked eighth in FBS in total offense and set single-season records for yards per game, points scored, touchdowns and several other statistical categories.
Franklin’s coaching career has taken him across the country, including stops at colleges such as California, Louisiana Tech, Auburn, Troy and Kentucky. At every coaching stop, he has created a high-powered offense and mostly specialized with mentoring the team’s quarterbacks. Notable players who played under Franklin were quarterbacks Tim Couch at UK and Jared Goff at Cal, both being No.1 overall picks in the NFL Draft.
Along with coaching, Franklin has run a seminar for teaching football coaches named “The Tony Franklin System.” He has toured across the nation delivering seminars and providing written works of his teachings. Several college and high school coaches use the practices taught in Franklin’s seminars in their everyday coaching.
In the podcast, Franklin and host Keith Grabowski discuss The Tony Franklin System, how that has affected his coaching style today, and what he brings to coaching Middle Tennessee.”
