There's probably more to the story than what article includes, but I've never understood a high school coach 'blocking' a college coach/program from recruiting his players... the people he's most likely to end up hurting are his future players.

it happened to A&M with Fran and many Texas high school coaches. While he was HC I was working at an East Texas news station. I had at least 4 coaches from 4A and 5A schools tell me they would try to steer athletes from coming to Aggieland so long as Fran was coach. They flat hated the man and thought he was a full of himself, pompous, a-hole. I was shocked that coaches would willingly offer up info such as that to a news person upon finding out I was an Aggie but they didn't care b/c the damage had already been done.

The one thing I will always give Sherman tons of credit for is healing those relationships.
