I've read that he wanted his family to clear before he walked through the tunnel. he knew it was going to be a **** show. Personally, I thought the fans were disgraceful.

Fans were upset.
Disgraceful is a strong word.
Jeering is part of sports.
Fire Franklin
You Suck...
Both part of sports.
So he knew already?

He was finished. Probably before this game.
I mean did you watch the team sleepwalk?
Did you see him put Singleton in during the last series when ir counted?
I think he knew that if he wasn't canned that he would need to step away for a while at minimum. Stress was getting to him, he's been different all year, especially after the Oregon L
Playing Singleton and not Kaytron at that point was ridiculous

Probably. I said before the game if he loses to NW he is gone. Before the game tickets were cheap and I told my brother I thought people would want to be there to see Franklin’s last game. Mostly in jest.
Just never expected that to actually happen.
Once he hit the third loss he was gone. This NW loss made it easy for Kraft. If we had squeaked by NW then he probably gets canned after the loss at Kinnick. He may even have gotten canned even if we had squeaked out the W on Sat. The team's performance was horrible. All on Franklin, he lost the respect of the lockeroom.
