For those of you at work that cannot watch TV, the earlier post about ESPN News is not really accurate. What was reported is not 'the usual stuff'. They did not announce speculation. They officially announced:

1. Fran out at the end of the year

2. Negotiations have been happening for last 10 days for buy out

3. Official recruiter has been hired by A&M - (said name and I dont remember)

4. A&M officially targeting Tuberville

I wanted to provide clarification because at first read of the last post, it seems like a group of guy sitting around 'speculating'. This announcement was more of a press release. I suspect we could have a conference soon.

good update, thanks

troll...

official recruiter?

this is true. I watched the ESPN news thing

"An A-Bomb, From A-Rod"

recruiter to find a replacement coach.

And by the way, they said buyout will be about 2mil

it's legit

umm whoop?!

Uh oh.......doesn't look like I'm going to get any work done today

So I guess Fran is coaching the last two games.

was there really ever any doubt that Fran was gone after this season?

Link?

Cool. Fran to SMU!

I could not find link yet, but it was on ESPN News. They did is as a 'just breaking' short segment with an in studio reporter and Andre Ware on the phone. Keep checking ESPN.com and it will be there soon.

Was Chuck Neinas the Coaching Search Consultant mentioned?

Somebody is paying up on some bets

If ya'll are messing with me

epsn news just this second reported that "A$M is talking to Coach Dennis Franchione about buying out his contract"

page 1

If this is true isnt it Byrnes way of throwing us a bone? Saying 'no he cant be fired before the end of the season, but heres whats going on'.

This is not a joke.

Didnt someone else see it that can back this up?

so is it real?

My day may be getting better.

I don't believe this until I see something in print.

I've got espn news on now - they did report in the last 5 minutes that buyout negotiations were underway

They just mentioned it on Fox Radio during the Rome show, that Fran will be bought out, and A&M is looking!
