evidently everyone is tied up with the Joe Torre press conference, but the person that saw it on ESPN said he would finish out remaining games and a recruiter has been hired to begin the search with Tommy Tuberville being the top target.

It usually takes a while longer to hit the web than the TV. They need to gather reliable info, put it together, then type and edit a full story.

I just saw the report on ESPN's College Football Live. Andre Ware is reporting that it's a done deal with a $2 million buyout.

Tuberville is the #1 candidate.

I'm guessing that posters from Clyde are nervous, thinking that since they've made the playoffs 2 years in a row, that their coach is a shoe-in to replace Francione.

i honestly think morriss hasn't done that bad--much better than the last several bears coaches

who would you want to come in and replace him?

who would want to?

Baylor needs a coach who will tell them what they do not want to hear ... that it is time to consider becoming members of another conference.

There is no way that any football coach can make that school competitive in the Big 12. Insanity is doing the same thing season after season and expecting a different result.

he is a decent coach but cant recruit, the inability to recruit a quarterback to baylor has been his demise....if we have a decent quarterback this year then we are a decent team...

the fact that people make statements such as aesculus is the reason y we need a new coach....they apparantly werent alive when baylor was fine, by the way tech finally has a winning record against baylor after this year, if we cant compete then y did it take them this long in the big 12 to do that...we can compete but our adminstration cant hire a coach worth a darn....

its Teaff but he is too old...i know you were kidding but there is some rumors of getting Singletary in there to coach and having Teaff as a "football director" type person, a counselor-like person to Singletary who is lacking in expierence in the head coaching position, but has experience at the other areas....i dunno if tha twould work but its one idea i have heard tossed around....

That might be a great plan. I know of a couple of pretty decent players that have played for Baylor in recent years. If a coach can bring in talent at all positions, they should be competitive.

we will see, personally I am not sure Singletary wants to coach us and that plan is probably just rumors for now...Teaff has a great gig as head of the college football coaches association thing so I dont know why he would leave but he has publicly stated he is embarassed at the direction Baylor football has went after he left/was thrown out by morons in the Baylor administration....Baylor will make a strong push for Singletary but if he wants to stay in teh NFL then we cant do anythign about that, hopefully the administration is smart and does their homework on teh coach they hire this time no matter who it is instead of just trying to find someone they can boss around...

Back to Coach Fran....

KBTX news brief reporting that athletics department spokesman has talked with both Byrne and Fran, and no talk of buyouts or anything else other than a game plan for Missouri. KBTX also contacted the sports coach search service, and they said that the report is "pure speculation." But, wishful thinking though.

Hey bud- if the ball is knocked loose before the guy crosses the goal line, then it is a turnover (actually touchback in this case). Might want to buff up on your rules. And your boy Stryker Suylak was not involved anyway. Replays were very conclusive on this one too.

I have been told by an insider that the Fran deal is done & will not be announced until after the Texas game. The insider is a guy I worked with there a few years ago. Fran will get around $2 million to go away & avoid legal hassles. New coach will be named early December after Texas game.

Is gone. I haven't seen it, but some Aggie sites are blowing up with folks that have just seen this on the ESPN News ticker or something like that.

Fran will be history at the end of the season. The first big question will the Aggies try to get permission to talk with Gary Kubiak about being the next coach.

That would be a great choice for the ags, but i also think that they should go after Art Briles (sp) from UH he his a great coach!

Well Joe Torre managing the Dodgers is a far bigger story nationally. Most folks outside of Texas or Alabama aren't going to have much of a direct interest in the situation.
