By searching for “Dennis Franchione jokes,” a few readers have arrived here at Propeller Skies. Unfortunately, these readers found no jokes here, because Dennis Franchione is a joke. Franchione has regrettably turned a once great football program into the largest punch line in the Big 12.
If Texas A&M only had a defense, Franchione and the Aggies could have beat Oklahoma for the first time in the Franchione era on Saturday. Unfortunately, complements of Carl Torbush’s Pink Shirts defense, for the second time in Franchione’s three years as head coach, Texas A&M will suffer the indignity of a losing season and will not be bowl eligible.
Predictably, the Aggie defense got worse in every area Propeller Skies tracks, except for pass defense, which improved marginally. The following statistics make the case for firing Torbush:
- The Aggie defense is last in the Big 12 in points allowed, with 30.3 points per game, which is an increase of 0.6 points per game - they now have the distinction of being the only Big 12 team allowing over 30 points per game;
- Pass defense improved, dropping to 318.9 yards per game, a decrease of 2.3 yards per game - still good for last in the Big 12;
- In contrast, rushing defense got worse, increasing to 135.7 yards per game, 8.4 more yards per game than last week;
- Yet again, Texas A&M is last in the Big 12 in total defense with 454.6 total yards allowed per game, an increase of 6 yards per game. Opposing offenses are still averaging almost 6.0 yards per play against the hapless Aggie defense.
[I highly recommend the following site: Fire Dennis Franchione. This site contains plenty of history on the coach and also supports a cause that is dear to my heart - Ed.]

Sorry you guys got sucked into the illusion of a coach that would exhaust an option quarterback and lose in the fourth quater because of it. He also somehow convinced a punter to painfully kick for eight games with a torn ACL. Oh, and by the way run out on them after using them up. Kick this clown to the curb. Oh sorry you gave him a 10 year contract! Just resign yourselves to losing or kick the board in the ass. Roll Tide!

As a ‘Bama fan I have liked and still do like A&M,I guess one reason is the “Bear” coached there. If Fran would have talked to his players and told them why he was leaving I and most ‘Bama fans would be pulling for him right now, but that lying, yellow-back coward just went to an airport and left. I ask, if Fran was any kind of a man would he have left this way? Remember the word is “man”. She, oops, HE IS A GUTLESS COWARD.

I am a lifetime supporter of ‘Bama football. Francione is like a disease; you get the fever and then you get over it. Moreover, I have found that almost every lawyer joke also applies to Mr. Francione, the coach whose moving vans go bump in the night.
