00:00 After A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork left College Station to replace longtime Ohio State
00:06 AD Gene Smith, the Aggies search for their fifth athletic director since 2012 began.
00:12 While searching for their guy, A&M has named former Aggie coach R.C.
00:16 Slocum as interim AD beginning February 1st.
00:20 This will mark Slocum's second time serving as A&M's interim AD as he served in the
00:25 role from January to June of 2019 after Scott Woodward's departure to LSU.
00:31 The 79-year-old has been one of the faces of Aggie athletics since 1972 when he was
00:37 hired as an offensive assistant, later being promoted to defensive coordinator and then
00:43 head coach in 1989.
00:45 As the winningest coach in A&M history, Slocum had a 123-47-2 record, led the Aggies to their
00:53 first Big 12 title and also led the program to three Southwest Conference titles from
00:58 '91 to '93.
01:00 According to the release, A&M is expected to create a search committee for the new athletic
01:05 director, which will be announced soon.
01:08 From all Aggies, I'm Alexandra Cox.
