A little late to post, but it was a great Thanksgiving. Dennis Franchione looked like the best coach in the world during the tu game. We thumped them and then he resigned after the game. It was a buyout/resignation so he gets paid a big chunk of money, but he wasn't fired.
Then a couple of days later AD Bill Byrne announced the hiring of Mike Sherman. Sherman had been at A&M for several years under RC Slocum. He was promoted to Offensive Coordinator by RC, but then he left to take that same job with the Green Bay Packers. When Mike Holmgren left he was moved up to head coach. He was there for several pretty good years before leaving. Most recently he was Offensive Coordinator for the Houston Texans and greatly improved them.
I think Sherman is a great hire, he has an A&M background, strong coaching experience, and can recruit well. I hope he does great, but it is a tough job.
