Two weeks shy of National Signing Day, California is without an offensive coordinator.
Tony Franklin, who has spent the last six years as coach Sonny Dykes’ playcaller at both Louisiana Tech and Cal, has resigned to take the same post at Middle Tennessee State.
The school made the announcement Friday and Franklin, in a statement provided by the school, said he and his wife, Laura, made the decision to leave Berkeley in order to be closer to family -- their parents, children and grandchildren -- in the South.
Franklin’s decision, according to sources, was not the result of any rift between him and Dykes.
