He wasn't even that. The Wednesday after the decision to have Sherm Lewis call the plays from the booth, they announced that they would be radioed to Zorn's OC, not Zorn. He literally said, "but I'll be walking around, hearing what's going on."
The guy who was supposed to be the coach, but Dan Snyder just didn't "gell" with, was the former Redskins DC, who is now with the Saints. Great decision, half pint.
Having Fridge back at Maryland doesn't really solve anything. They have an AD who constantly bickers with her coaches, but tries hard to take credit for any gain they make. At any rate, they'll have to pay Franklin a mill not to coach if somehow Fridge turns it all around and kicks ass next year.
***edit*** part of Fridge's deal is that he has to fire Franklin, and Franklin will instantly be a millionaire.
I think Bowden made the best possible choice. Even though they kind of kicked his dignity around, it works for FSU probably because it HAS to work.
