Franklin and Faircloth out, video coordinator and football operation respectively. Replaced by Cauthen and Jarry. See football page.
 
Got ya. Thought the OP implied there was a story/announcement up.
 
Clawson mentioned Big Daddy was sticking around during the signing day luncheon. The man is an institution.
 
Surely Faircloth leaving would be worthy of an announcement. Or did they just retitle him?
 
Info on Bill Faircloth. Bill's son Barry is the head of the Deacon Club.

Bill Faircloth, known affectionately to Wake Forest players for decades as "Big Daddy,"  has been directly affiliated with Demon Deacon football since 1960.
He begins his 48th year in college football as a coach or administrator and his 36th year on the Wake Forest football staff.

Faircloth hit a milestone last season when he attended his 400th consecutive Wake Forest football game on Nov. 3 when the Demon Deacons took on Boston College. He has now been in attendance for 403 straight games.

Faircloth handles a wide range of responsibilities within the football program as an aide to Cave Clawson.

Faircloth is now in his 31st year in this role after spending five seasons as an assistant coach, including the 1979 campaign when he helped guide Wake Forest to the Tangerine Bowl--the Deacons' first bowl game in 30 years.

In April 2004, the foyer of the recently renovated Pruitt Football Center was dedicated as the "Faircloth Foyer" in honor of Faircloth's dedication and long-time service to the Wake Forest football program and university as a whole.

Faircloth also coached previously at Catawba College from 1966-75, including three years as head coach (1973-75), and was an assistant at Duke during 1976 and 1977.

A 1964 Wake Forest graduate, Faircloth earned three varsity letters as a lineman. As a senior, he was a starting tackle, team captain and an All-ACC Academic selection. He received his master's degree from Alabama in 1965.
Faircloth and his wife, Becky, have three sons -- all Wake Forest graduates -- Scott and wife Tricia, Woody and wife Valerie and Barry and wife Beth.

They also are the proud grandparents of Rhett, Stowe, Grace, Mary Scott, Mac, Catherine, Spencer, Sophia, Olivia, Luna and step-grandchildren Tyler and Gaby.
