Like almost everything about the Air Raid, it was and remains beautiful and simultaneously extremely weird: Tony Franklin had to get fired, blackballed, and cast out of the coaching community to arguably do more for the evolution of football at the high school and lower levels than any coach of the last decade. While Mike Leach’s teams throwing for 500 or 600 yards on Saturdays was a great commercial for the Air Raid, it was Franklin that actually brought it to the people — though not without charging a fee for his valuable services.

Franklin is to Leach as Cooter is to WAHAB
