Hall of Fame coach R.C. Slocum, the winningest head coach in Texas A&M history, will serve as the school's interim athletic director following the departure of Scott Woodward on Thursday.
Slocum, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2012, led Texas A&M to a record of 123-47-2 from 1989 to 2002 while never having a losing season. He also served as an assistant coach at Kansas State and USC.
"My role is to keep the momentum going forward until a permanent AD is hired, as well as to assure Aggies, coaches and athletes that nothing has changed," Slocum said in a statement.
