Letter: Facts point to necessity of football coaching change
What is it going to take for someone to realize that head football coach Carl Franks is the wrong man for the job? How many blown games that we could have won? How many bad play calls? How many bad coaching decisions? I am an avid Duke football fan. I have been to every home game while attending Duke, and I even made the trip to Annapolis to see Duke play Navy this year. While watching Duke play Virginia, a school that has a strong football tradition, I knew that we had the chance to win this game. But kicking a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line, while trailing by seven points with about eight minutes to go, just seems illogical. It is decisions like these, along with many others throughout the game (and in previous games as well) that frustrate me and make me call for the end of the Franks regime.
