A&M Fires coach

espn just reported Franchione is out at A&M and say they want to get Tommy T from Auburn...Do they really have a shot at pulling away a head coach from the Auburn?

They took a head coach from Alabama.

Ok...I'm kidding.

But seriously...behead him.

Callahan to A&M? Cosgrove to Auburn or Poor Sisters of Mary?

I thought Fran beat Bill in the Buyout Bowl? was that a worthless win for Fran? Hey, they might just as well declare the four Nebraska wins as tainted and turn them back over to us. Their wins were done with a different team than the last five weeks. Give it up, Nebraska, 76 points is all time most points scored against them - even back to the Bugeater days.

Joe Ganz in the second half looked like Cody Hawkins throwing the ball in self defense.

ESPN - Source: Texas A&M talks buyout with Franchione - College Football

So, nothing done - yet.

I'm surprised Tubberville would be interested. What he's done at Auburn has been nothing short of amazing. It would probably be nice to get out of the SEC and with the Saban effect at Alabama his job will probably get tougher. Maybe A&M makes perfect sense.

Coach out on Monday...and it ISN'T Callahan? simply: WOW

But yeah, you knew this was gonna happen sometime soon at A&M. All of a sudden Iowa State's schedule next year is looking EVEN better than it normally would when switching the south teams Texas, Okla, & Tech for Okie St, Baylor, & A&M.

yes, because he is so proven right now. Probably either ATM or Auburn will hire the greatest coach in the history of football...Dan McCarney, if Dan will have them.

Tuberville was an Aggie assistant at one point so it is very possible. They have money to burn there too. Fran's buyout was supposed to be 8 mil. before he violated rules and if they do it for two, then I believe it would take 6 mil to Auburn to get Tuberville away from them (not counting his actual contract).

Gotta get started before NU comes looking for a new coach.

And it comes full circle (finally). I remember hearing that when Slocum was fired there was this guy named Urban Meyer, who was the head coach at Bowling Green, was begging to come to A&M until they picked Franchione and he took a job at Utah. Not sure, but I think he got a head coaching gig at some SEC school...

Oops.

They'll lure a good coach. They've got too much money not to.

I cant see Tubberville going to A&M. I think he would want to be the main focus coach of some state university. Auburn is second fiddle to Alabama, A&M is second fiddle to Texas.
