Texas State's Dennis Franchione to Retire: What's Next for Bobcat Football?

A month after a coaching change would've made sense, Texas State (seemingly unwittingly) enters the coaching carousel. The administration had better get this next hire right.

As was first reported by Bruce Feldman and later confirmed by multiple local media outlets and the university itself, Dennis Franchione is retiring/resigning his position as head coach of Texas State Bobcats football. The move has come as a surprise to many around the program. Low level employees in the athletic department I spoke to were floored by this move, and as recently as yesterday SMDR beat reporter Joe Vozzelli was reporting that Franchione's job was safe despite Teis not answering his calls.
