The Fran Who Wasn't There: The complicated legacy of Dennis Franchione

The man who led the Frogs to their first bowl victory since 1956, their first back to back conference championships since 1958-59, left Fort Worth after just 3 seasons left behind more than just the defensive coordinator that would become the best coach in the nation- he left behind feelings of gratitude, resentment, anger and then a bit of quality schadenfreude as he hopped from job to job. On the eve of his retirement, just what do you feel when you think about Fran now?

Yesterday Dennis Franchione announced his retirement from Texas State University- it's fitting that even after escaping termination after a disappointing 2015 season, Coach Fran decided to leave on his own one more time.
