Football Coach And AD Fired At Texas State

POSTED: 4:34 pm EST January 28, 2004

Texas State fired athletic director Greg LaFleur and football coach Manny Matsakis Wednesday after the school found NCAA rules violations during an internal investigation.

Some of the violations included extra hours of practice for the football team and problems with voluntary summer workouts. Management issues regarding the program's budget and personnel also raised red flags after the university launched the internal inquiry in December.

"The alleged violations, when taken each by themselves, are not of a large magnitude, but the number of reports over a short period of time is troubling," university president Denise Trauth said. "These reports and our concerns over the management of the football program call for this action."

Texas State finished 4-8 last season, its first season under Matsakis.

In addition, associate director of athletics Dana Craft was reassigned outside the athletic department.
