Dennis Franchione dies, remembering his games against Tennessee

Dennis Franchione, who amassed a 213-135-2 record across several collegiate coaching stops, has passed away at age 75. His career included head coaching tenures at Southwestern, Pittsburg State, Southwest Texas State, New Mexico, TCU, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Texas State, along with a stint as offensive coordinator at Tennessee Tech.
