Does anyone else get the impression that negotiations regarding Rice University head football coach Ken Hatfield‘s future with the program don’t seem to be going all that well?
First, this ESPN.com article reports on the rather defiant press conference that Coach Hatfield called yesterday in which he denied that he is going to resign and talked about the upcoming 2006 season.
This morning, the Chronicle is reporting that Coach Hatfield and Rice are finalizing arrangements for the coach’s resignation.
In comparison, Texas A&M’s head coach Dennis Franchione handled the shakeup of his staff via an email press release.
You know things are changing in the world of college football when Texas A&M handles the firing of a football coach better than Rice.
