Now hearing that he is coaching out season but buy-out done.
Either way their mess is just as bad as Nebraska's - from some things I hear it's worse.

I'll have to say I'm suprised at how he's done. I really thought he was a good coach and would do well there. Not saying I haven't liked seeing them struggle just a little suprised.
The SOB deserves what he gets. :SIB
Hold the rope! :mj07:
From ESPN.com
Record: 5-2 this year, with the final five opponents all owning winning records -- and four of them on the road. Franchione is 30-25 overall at A&M, just 17-18 in the Big 12 -- not what the school had in mind when it gave him a $2 million-per-year contract to leave Alabama.
Breaking point: Revelation of big-dollar booster newsletter in apparent violation of NCAA rules, Big 12 bylaws and Franchione's contract definitely hurt. So did an embarrassing Thursday night loss to Miami and a four-touchdown loss to Texas Tech on Saturday.
Sticking point: A buyout would cost a whopping $8.5 million, according to The Dallas Morning News. Unless, of course, Fran's VIP Newsletter scam gives the university cause to release him.
Bad stat: It's not just that Franchione is 1-4 against rival Texas Tech and Mike Leach; it's that he's been blown out in three of the four losses.
Chances of survival: When your own "insider VIP boosters" are ratting you out and nobody in the A&M administration is sprinting to give Fran a vote of confidence beyond year's end, it ain't a good sign.
