Malzahn’s Election Year Answers to JF III’s Outside Training

It took a week for Auburn head football coach Gus Malzahn to end the speculation about his feelings regarding John Franklin III’s work with Michael Vick, Dominic Frazier and Oliver Bozeman.

Last week in this space we looked at why we thought Malzahn shouldn’t be upset abouthis quarterbacks receiving outside coaching. The question revolved around whether Gus knew and sanctioned the training or was totally unaware of what QB John Franklin III was doing in his off time and what that could mean for the program.

Though the questions regarding his knowledge and stance on JF III’s workout were asked several times over the course of the week, they weren’t publicly addressed until a Tiger Trek event in Mobile, Alabama, where Malzahn responded to specific questions from the media.
