And a young African American HC lands a DI gig after only one year's experience.

They've had two off years. I hope they turn it around.

194 Chem, now Rock Hall (?), had Bob Marley and frat signs on the walls.

USD AD or whomever could have said something like “we have decided to go a new direction” or some other double speak that at least can be deciphered as a “firing”. Saying he retired is just low. Do they teach this stuff in ethics and HR classes these days? It’s all crisis management and PR and lawyers these days and no honesty/humanity.

Could be a bit of age discrimination but wouldn’t be able to prove that. Experience (only obtained over years - and the wisdom of age) is less valued these days.

My source says there's more to the story. Don't forget, he's 80. He had a solid run.

I hope I live to be 80.

If you're a non smoker, I believe the odds are you'll live to be at least 87.

It’s not that hard. Just keep the weight down. Don’t drink too much. Don’t smoke. Go to the gym for a light workout enjoy and your family and relax. Also, eat well with lots of vegetables.
At 82 I am entitled to say this. Love you guys and I’m thinking the Aggies are going to be great this season.

69aggie, who was the head football coach in your student days - Will Lotter?

The full name is Peter A. Rock Hall.
My Christian friends and I love it because according to the bible, Jesus tells Peter that he will build a rock upon the church. So we like the new name even if it's a coincidence.
