Franklin lost as a 28 point favorite in back to back weeks. That’s what it took for him to get fired before Columbus Day. 

I think Norvell may last till after the Miami game & their next bye. They would have fired him in the offseason if the leash was the SMU game imo

Also he has an “excuse” for this game. “Oh the lights went out and everything went wrong, not my fault.”

Norvell has galaxy-brained things such that he will never BE at 28 point favorite
