Shameless self-promoter thats all that guy is. I mean, whats the fascination with him anyway? What team has he pulled to high status? Now Bob Stoops, thats a badass coach  he is my crush for the fall tee hee

Well, i haven't been too pleased with the first half of our season this year, but i'm gonna wait to pass judgement on Coach Fran. He inherited a team that had decent offensive talent but an absolutely bare cupboard on defense. A telling fact? 2 of our defensive starters were former walk-ons.
His first year at Bama i believe they were 3-5 and won their last 4 games to end the season 7-5. The next year they went 10-3. Things are rough now, but it is far to soon IMO to write him off as a bad coach. Remember, he's still implementing his system and basically working with a defense that has noone that would start anywhere else in the Big XII.
Patience, Mere, patience. I suffered through the last 5 years of RC, i think i can give Fran 2 or 3 seasons. Look for A&M to improve next year, and when Fran gets a couple of his recruiting classes in, look for us to challenge.
I will tell you this, i believe that Saturday Reggie earned himself a position holding a clipboard against OSU. I'd be greatly surprised if D. Long doesn't start this week against the Cowboys.
