Dennis Franchione is gone, and Texas State is getting a very late start on the coaching carousel. A few names have already been floated as to who will be Texas State's second head coach in their FBS history, some more realistic than others.
Fair warning: Aside from the names the fans will inevitably dream of, these might not be the most exciting candidates out there. But when one keeps in mind that athletic director Larry Teis has handled this situation as poorly as humanly possible (at least publicly), this list starts to look damn near rosy by comparison.
