Franchione needs more than player sport

Texas A&M players joined head coach Dennis Franchione on Tuesday for his weekly football media luncheon.

Franchione has been under fire since the Aggies lost to Miami on national television and it was disclosed he provided information to influential boosters for a fee.

Franchione became emotional as he defended his performance and said he intends to remain as the head football coach.

But athletic director Bill Byrne hardly gave Franchione a solid vote of confidence, saying he would not discuss the head coaching position during the season.

Franchione's future at Texas A&M is likely to be determined by how the Aggies perform on the field the rest of the season, starting with Saturday's game against Oklahoma State at Kyle Field.
