DEL.ICIO.USAuburn target reacts to offensive coordinator’s firing
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic High tight end Daniel Hood had not yet heard the news of Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin’s firing when contacted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution shortly after 6:30 p.m. today.
“Wow! I hate to see that, but you could see it coming,” said Hood, who is being recruited by the Tigers at defensive end. “The only people I had met were the defensive coaches, but it’s kind of bad to see.
“But in a competitive conference like the SEC, you have to produce or they get you out. And, unfortunately, his offense wasn’t working at Auburn.”
Hood, who has narrowed his choices to Auburn, Georgia Tech and Ole Miss, attended the Tigers’ 14-12 victory over Tennessee on Sept. 27.
He said today’s firing will have little impact on where he commits.
“It won’t effect my decision much, but I’m still interested in seeing who they hire to replace him,” Hood said.

At what position is GT going to use Daniel? Would love for you to stay in Ga and play your college football. GT is really gathering momentum. You can be assured CPJ is not going anywhere.

Big Stinger and Paddy, Stinger, you don’t win any friends or recruits by suggesting they could be dumb, and Paddy, you should say you hope he comes to Ga instead of staying in Ga., since he is from Knoxville, Tn. Recruits should come to GT., because they want to. It is their life and what is good for one is not always good for he other. We do hoe he comes to GT, however.

Big Stinger is NO GT fan….. I would lay odds that he/she is a UGAG fan. Typical comment from a SCUMBAG!
