Was Fran fired???

[dada]

Went out to the car for a second and heard "A&M will be looking for a football coach and they don't have to pay Fran the buy out money"......did I miss something?:confused:

There's nothing on Texags about. Those people may be stupid, but they type fast.

Man, I hope you're right...I don't see them doing it RIGHT before the game this weekend, but it wouldn't suprise me. Maybe Byrne finally did the one thing the AD wouldn't?

[Firebird]

They may be talking about a lot of the speculation....Houston Chronicle had a big article about how they were launching an internal investigation of what he did. If the super-top secret 1200 newsletter violated any NCAA rules, they can can Franny and don't have to pay the buyout.

[Favpack]

Yeah - they're reporting that the AD is really, really, REALLY P.O.'d this time. I think they find a NCAA loophole in the newsletter thing.

[jtk1519]

They could take Fran to court to try and get him released from his contract without having to pay a penalty, but I promise you they would not win. They would have to settle. If Dollar Bill is smart, he's using the threat of a suit to force Fran into a settlement now. Fran gets some money, the university doesn't have to pay near what they owe, and Fran leaves after this season.

Is Major Applewhite on standby somewhere?

[Redhoss]

Is Major Applewhite on standby somewhere?

Haha, I don't know if the Major is seasoned enough yet to take a top spot.

My first thought was , are you kidding, He's a Horn. Then I remembered how Mack treated him so maybe he might like the idea of busting his chops from Aggieland. :D

[slorch]

That might be the only way I would ever root for the aggies.

Bo Schembeckler, one of Michigan's Greatest coaches, attended Ohio State University, and started out as an Ohio State Assistant.

Bible’s legacy as Texas’ football coach may have ended in the 1940s, but the impact he had as athletics director in the 1950s continued to be dramatic. For it was Bible, more than any single person, who fashioned the hiring in December of 1956 of Darrell Royal, a young, 32-year-old former Oklahoma football star as the next Longhorn football coach. Born in Hollis, Okla., Royal had played his college ball at the University of Oklahoma and served as an assistant coach at North Carolina State, Tulsa and Mississippi State. He coached the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian League, and in 1955, he returned to Mississippi State for his first collegiate head coaching job. He spent the next season at the University of Washington and was there when Bible called him to interview for the Texas job. Royal was an immediate success at Texas, leading the Longhorns — who posted their worst record ever (1-9) in 1956 — to a 6-4-1 record, a No. 11 national ranking and a berth in the Sugar Bowl in his first season. He would never suffer a losing season in 20 years at Texas, led the Longhorns to their first National Championship in 1963 and followed that with national titles in 1969 and 1970. Royal posted an astonishing 167-47-5 career record at Texas, which included a 109-27-2 mark in SWC games. He claimed a league-record 11 SWC Championships, led UT to 16 bowl games and finished the year ranked among the nation’s Top five nine times. In 1968, Royal was the first to install the famed Wishbone formation backfield. His teams would eventually spend 30 weeks ranked No. 1 in the nation and post an astonishing 30-game winning streak (42 straight wins at home) from 1968-70. From 1968-73, Royal’s squads claimed six straight SWC titles and six consecutive Cotton Bowl berths. He coached 77 All-SWC players and 26 All-Americans. Still at the top of his game in 1976, Royal retired and continued in the role of athletics director at Texas — a position he had maintained since taking over the dual role of coach and AD in 1962. His overall coaching record was 184-60-5.
