When did #1 turn us down? I thought Kragthorpe has been out of football since '09?

Fran can get it done here, IMO.

He turned us down for an interview well before he took the Tulsa job, and it wasn't very nice the way he said it as I recall. I was glad when Louisville tossed him to the curb!

I always thought Fran was a classy coach. I don't know what went on at A$M but I wouldn't hold leaving the Cult against him. What is he doing now?

Yes.

Your avatar should tell you different.

anyone else think the BOR seeing the injuries and the close losses to Rice/ULL might just might bring Dodge back for Year 5, if he wins 3-4 games and loses close ones to Troy and MUTS? They do not have to answer to anyone except Gov. Goodhair and he is to busy playing politics and primping for a 2012 run to care about the #3 University in the State.

In 1998, Steve Kragthorpe turned us down after the man (Matt Simon) who hired him here as his OC got fired by Craig Helwig, who was about 180 degrees different from the current AD. IN 1998,we played in the Big West Conference and our home games were at Fouts Field with NO FUTURE of a new stadium anywhere near. Not to mention the little fact that he would make significantly less at UNT than at Tulsa. Nowadays, his wife has a serious illness that has caused him to leave A&M this time, so he may or may not be available any way for this place. He has children in their teens, so that could be a factor if she passes away or is completely incapacitated. Trust me, he would listen this go around with the new stadium and the AD we have in place.

As far as Franchione, don't even try to use leaving Alabama, who was about to go on probation, and leaving A&M, where he couldn't get past the other teams in the toughest division in college football, to insinuate that we shouldn't look at him for this vacancy. He would probably be a better fit here than even Kragthorpe. He is #1 on my list.
