“I would like to also express my appreciation to Dr. Trauth, Dr. Teis, and our administration,” said Franchione. “They have elevated Texas State in so many ways and have been stalwarts in taking football from FCS to FBS.”
“Please let me say thanks to some people that have meant a great deal to me.”
“As a coach, I was fortunate to have outstanding teachers and mentors early in my career such as Jim Dickey, Jim Donnan, Gary Darnell, and Carl Selmer.”
“I also want to express my thanks to my family. First, my wife Kim, has been a “rock” in my life, a strong teammate, a best friend and a great wife. I have been so blessed to have her by my side for 38 years.
“My children, Ashley, Libby and Brad have been great supporters. My career has put them through a lot as coach’s kids and they have met every day with class.”
“The daily grind of running a football program has been enjoyable because of the assistant coaches, their wives, families and our support staff. For all of their support over the last 40 years and especially our tenure here at Texas State, let me say how much I appreciate them. A head coach in this game is only as good as his staff.”
“The supportive fans, alumni, and students at Texas State have been awesome. Thank you for your consistent support, positive comments, and for your attendance at the games supporting our players.”
“Finally, my heart and appreciation goes out to our football players at Texas State, and all of those I have been fortunate enough to coach during my career. I feel very strongly about what this game does for young people. I have always felt that the faculty prepare you for your career and I prepare players for life. My classroom has been the field and this game teaches so many life skills – teamwork, accountability, esprit de corps, sacrifice, work ethic, dedication, handling setbacks and success, on and on.”
Texas State will immediately begin a national search for a new football coach with the assistance of Parker Executive Search, one the leading search firms in the country.
