Well his (Coach Fran's) pic and bio are still on the official A&M Football page, so it must not be a done deal. I remember when Billy G. left his picture and title were pulled pretty quickly.

I kind of like BB's success in this department. Even though we are hiring a recruiter I'm hoping BB is an integral part of the actual search, not just the contract signing.
Byrne has never hired a football coach before, he could use the help. He and Neinas are big buddies and will work well together as a team, it's the right approach.

Neinas doesn't make the decision, he just makes the contacts and gets you the list of who's interested, who's available, and how much it will take.

Sounds like Liucci is disappointed that he didn't get the scoop.

No disrespect meant to anyone who may have actually seen the ESPN clip but why is nothing on their web page? I would think that this would make headlines on the website immediately. While I think everyone believes it will happen I remain a skeptic until I at least see something in the news (TexAgs has proved more often that not to be the source of bad info).

This is going to make the next couple of weeks easier, especially if it's handled the right way.

Fran needs to expect full responsibility for the lack of success during his tenure. I think his players will appreciate that. Who knows, it may motivate them to send him out on a high note.

I'm sure the buyout is going to happen eventually, but the article on ESPN.com doesn't give any indication that it's already a done deal.

Except for this part...

quote:
Ware reported that Texas A&M wants to talk to Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville for a potential vacancy. He reported that the school is working with Chuck Neinas, who runs a consulting firm specializing in hiring coaches.


...that article doesn't tell us anything that we didn't already know. I can't say that I'm convinced at this point.

How do people think this is not big news?

- A&M hires recruiter to find replacement coach

- its the 'breaking news' segment on ESPN News

- ESPN now running line on screen "A&M Francione let go"


On second thought, you are right -- there is no news here. This is not worth posting about. Lets get back to questions about what Fran has to do to keep his job...

You have to read the beginning of this post. What folks have seen on TV has been more direct than the way the article was written (with an air of speculation). I trust the reports from the TexAgs'ers on the tone of the TV report from ESPN2. I bet Fran finishes the season but this allows A&M to approach universities about arranging interviews.
