College Football: New staff beginning to take shape

New Texas State head coach Dennis Franchione is already hard at work putting his staff together for the upcoming season. Along with Montana linebackers coach Mike Hudson, Franchione is poised to bring in current Blinn College offensive line coach Dennis Darnell and University of New Mexico offensive coordinator and running backs coach Darrell Dickey.

Hudson has experience in the Southland Conference as he was the defensive coordinator at Sam Houston State from 2003-04. He began his coaching career at Texas State in 1987.

Darnell most recently spent a season at Blinn College on Franchione's son's (Brad Franchione) staff. Prior to Blinn, Darnell was offensive coordinator at Northern Colorado but was fired following the 2009 season.

Dickey was the head coach at North Texas from 1998-2006 before moving to Utah State and then New Mexico. With the Lobos, Dickey's offense only averaged 15 points and 256.7 yards of total offense per game in 2010.

Is Adam Dorrel not in the equation any more?

At least Fran is bringing in some experienced guys. I hope Fran builds this program. I am tired of only seeing UT, A&M, and U of H gear in stores.

Shawn — I am still trying to confirm his interest in joining Franchione's coaching staff.
