The Hook and Lateral

With all the catchy names for the behind the scenes escapades at Auburn (think Leargate), should we call this one the Trojan Horsegate? Auburn’s offensive coordinator Al Borges resigned Tuesday morning, and at 1:06 Central Time, the Birmingham News is reporting Head Coach Tommy Tuberville has already interviewed Troy University’s offensive coordinator, Tony Franklin, for the position. Did Auburn’s Athletic Department already know Borges would resign and have the interview set up? Was the interview set up without Borges’ knowledge, only he found out and decided to leave? Did Tony Franklin sneak in under the cover of night and interview for the job while the announcement of Borges’ resignation had yet to be made? Stay tuned as we will bring you more when it becomes available.
