In a move that you never see, an offensive coordinator at a Pac-12 program made the decision to move to Conference USA without a promotion. Cal OC Tony Franklin heads back to MTSU to lead the offense once again.
The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders have a brand new offensive coordinator. The school has confirmed that California Golden Bears OC Tony Franklin accepted the job as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Blue Raiders.
Wait, what???
Yes, you read that correctly. Former MTSU offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, a coach that left MTSU after one year for Louisiana Tech and eventually California, is coming back to lead the Blue Raiders offense in 2016.
