In recent weeks it looked as if Sean White was the favorite to win the job, and now that has become official a week before the season.
This might come as a shock to some who assumed John Franklin III was the perfect fit in Gus Malzahn’s offense. After watching his struggles and attitude issues on Last Chance U, it’s not as shocking to me.
I think the battle lasted this long because the coaches were hoping JF3 would show progress and break away. That didn’t happen in the spring, and it apparently didn’t happen in fall camp, making Sean White the obvious choice.
