Too early to give up on Franklin as he needs reps, but eventually he's got to take advantage of his opportunities.
I suspect the friction between MLSE and Popp/Trestman has to do with the losing, and Popp/Trestman won't win that fight. Maybe this ends up being 2016 redux and Manning decides to keep Trestman over Popp - I hope knot tbh, as I'd rather see Trestman given the boot. I have serious concerns as to how he's running the team, and the clock management this season. Too many avoidable penalties that are all on the coaches, although I'm not sure if it's on Trestman and Cavlllo (field level) or Condell (up in the box); I do notice Calvillo on the field a lot when something goes wrong, but obviously not sure if he's just the middle man. In saying that, I'd have no issue with Popp being given the boot as well; yeah, he brought in Franklin to try and ensure Montreal Post AC didn't occur, but our OL, DL, and secondary were areas of concern in the off season, and let's be honest: he didn't do a damn thing to fix any of it (Bomben during the season is about it).
That's a lot of salary to eat up though - MLSE can afford, but would they want to ?
