Sorry if this is an old interview. Just came across it and I didn't see a date.

I think Christian probably gave a politically correct answer regarding his relationship with Franklin, and that's okay. A lot of players didn't care for JoePa while they were on campus, but their opinion changed as they progressed through adulthood. Hack had to be plenty steamed when O'Brien bolted for the Texans, and since Hack had always planned to go pro after three years of college football, transferring wasn't a good option. Hack was O'Brien's guy and vice versa and that probably put CJF on bad footing with Hack at the outset. I don't think Hack and CJF are buddies, but I don't sense they are enemies, either.
