I've been a Franklin fan for 23 years.
My two sons went to Franklin.
Yes, there has been a shift in the talent.
However, I have not seen great coaching on the offense.
I think the coach just wasn't ready to be a HC, at least in this situation. I wish him well and hope he has another HC opportunity.
The timing seems odd but I believe Shane is a good guy and is well respected.
This may have been to protect next year's team more than getting a win this year.
