Fran's only comment

If you missed it yesterday, here's the quick back and forth between Fran and the media about the situation.

Q- Fran, the jist of yesterday's excitement revolved around whether or not you have begun negotiations for…

Fran - "Let me just stop you before you go any farther, okay? I am not going to get into the rumor game with you guys. I'll be glad to sit here as long as you want to just about, to talk about Missouri and the games but there are no facts to that and I'm not into it. I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with it. I know you have your work to do and your questions to ask but I'm a none participant in those. I spent all day (Monday) working with the coaches on the game plan."

Q - Did you talk to the team yesterday or did they talk to you? What did you talk to them about?

Fran - "They've kind of gotten used to that climate. I talked to some of them last week and it's like, "Anything change?" I'm like, "No. We're good. I think a couple of them may have asked Alan (Cannon) yesterday after they heard some ESPN things."

Q - Fran, do you expect to be the coach here beyond this year?

Fran - "Let me say this one more time: If you want to talk about Missouri, if you want to talk about the games, I'm willing to sit here with you. You guys go ahead and speculate on all the other things. That is not my concern at this point in time. My concern is trying to get this team ready to play Saturday at 11:30."

So there you go. I don't how he will survive all this. Especially if they lose to Mizz and Texas. That would be 6-6. The question is what would 7-5 and beat UT do for him?
