what's crappy about the coaching carosel is knowing that i chose very poorly in my career. from the article above:

"Franchione's contract pays him $2 million per season and runs through 2012. A buyout will be $141,667 per month for the remainder of the contract, or about $8 million. Ware reported Monday that Texas A&M is looking for a buyout in the $2 million range."

His buyout from A&M would allow me to retire... or support me very lavishly for 3-4 weeks.

How long before Bill Callahan joins Franchione in the free cheese line?

I'd say Callahan won't be too far behind him. The guy who deserves to be on the way out is Charlie Weis...but that won't happen. Ty did a better job and got the boot. With the recent results of Charlie and Romeo, the question has to be asked...who were the real geniuses, Charlie and Romeo or Bill Belichik?

Callahan will ask Mangino for an assistants job.

franchione is a fluke.
