What do you think — did Fran Ganter hate being given the task of delivering the note to Joe in 2011 with the phone number to call and be fired?

Or might he have taken just the slightest smidge of inner satisfaction in it, after having been made to turn over the pass-play calls to Jay years earlier?

i don’t remember him ever having been interviewed or making any public comment about the events of 2011 in the years since. Have any of you ever see any such remarks by him?

Lastly, do you think it bugged Fran at all that some BWICAC-ers of yesteryear always wanted to spell his name “Gantner” for some reason?

This seems to insinuate Fran had a grudge toward Joe....as if Joe didn't respect his contributions to the program. That is a possibility but not one i suspect to be true. I haven't heard or read anything about his feelings or disappointment. And honestly I have no idea what the bwicac is and never heard the term while Phil was in charge....but it is a new era.

Give me a break, give it a rest.

Fran was a standup guy and never would have disrespected Joe in any way not even mentally. What he actually thinks of Jay may be another matter.
