Coach Fran Resigns
Embattled A&M Coach Dennis Franchione resigns aqfter 5 rocky seasons.
College Station, Texas- Dennis Franchione resigned as Texas A&M's coach on Friday, ending a rocky 5 year tenure less than an hour after the Aggies beat Texas. 38-30 at Kyle Field. The school announced Fran had accepted a buyout but refused to give deatils. Fran finished 32-28 at A&M, far short of the expectations when he replaced RC Slocomb in December 2002. A&M was 19-21 in Big 12 games under Fran, and worst of all, lost 12 of 15 games against main rivals Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas. Dressed in a gray suit Fran stepped to the podium an hour after the victory, probably his biggest at A&M. "We appreciate the oppurtunity we have had at this great institution, to work with this administration," he said. "We have made many lasting friendships."

Where else in the nation can you beat your arch-rival two years in a row and then be forced to resign under pressure?
