Franchione calls it quits at A
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Dennis Franchione resigned as Texas A&M;’s coach Friday, shortly after the Aggies beat archrival Texas, 38-30, at Kyle Field.
The school announced Franchione had accepted a buyout but declined to give details. Franchione finished 32-28 at A&M; (7-5, 4-4 Big 12), and his team finished the regular season with four losses in six games.
Dressed in a gray suit, Franchione stepped to the lectern after beating Texas (9-3, 5-3) for a second consecutive season and ended all speculation. Athletic department spokesman Alan Cannon said the players did not know about Franchione’s intentions until after the game.
