So will next year's offense be Franklin's too? What about the defense over the past two years - were those Franklin's too? Or will we only be willing to blame Franklin when a personnel group isn't performing well, and won't give credit when a scheme works? (like the 2014 and 2015 defenses, and what I expect for the 2016 offense)
Instead, I think Franklin is exactly what he says he is: the program CEO, the top recruiter, and the person who sets the overall tone, culture, and direction of the program. That means necessarily that his success is driven significantly on the success and ability of his coordinators. Donovan was just a bad one, and Shoop was a good one - and the results reflected that.
