My guess will be Rusty Burns and Dan Sharp moving on to the next opportunity after signing day. Anderson... no clue... maybe an administrator position.
I'm not a big fan of having two coaches dedicated to the DL but the DE's may have been the most consistently good unit on the team the last three seasons so he deserves credit there. No one is specifically listed as the special teams coach but given that he did that for many years, he probably has some involvement with that. The coverage aspect of ST has been pretty good but everything else that wasn't a highlight play by Turpin, not so much.Dan sharp is the best of those three. The DL has been good the last few years.
Some are not comfortable with the performance of this reasonably large # of WRs. Why not experiment with a really top notch guy for our WRs and get this present person, that seems to have tenureship with CGP, some education where we appear not to be overly educated in, such as Special Teams. Or is ST Coordinator too important of a position for him... considering his 3 previous coaching assignments. How about ST analyst then.Special teams is an abomination with apparently zero accountability. It seems like we are content to just have great athletes in the return game and leave the rest to chance.
I’m mixed on the WR receiver situation. I guess a lot could be matters of coachable skills but my eyes tell me there’s not an insignificant amount of lackadaisical approaches to route running, blocking, hustle, and making the routine play. I think it’s somewhat understandable that there were lots of misreads between QB and WR given the rotisserie of QBs

Any DL coach at TCU will always be compared to Bump and he’s a tough act to follow. At this point he’s been gone long enough that we need to stop with that standard. Sharp has done a really good job with the kids up front. Is there room to grow? Sure but some of that is limited by talent..How many DEs need to make 1st team All-Big 12 before we can say Sharp is doing a really good job and just might be a damn good coach?
Agreed. I'll drive Anderson to the airport if need be.For me the question is Anderson. If he stays, then GP is too loyal for his own good.
I don’t remember for sure but I’m confident we didn’t have a punt or kickoff return against us for a touchdown. The punt team was 7rh nationally in long returns and 1st in returns over 50 yards. Kicking was mediocre but that’s a talent issue. ST were fine.Some are not comfortable with the performance of this reasonably large # of WRs.

He's a TCU alum, so in my book he has even more street cred. That being said, our special teams sucked and we miss Dick Bumpas. All that being said, if he returns I won't be as bent out of as shape compared to our receivers who continue to not develop. Rusty Burns did not make Josh Doctson. If Rusty has value in recruiting in Louisiana, then be like Bama and make a position for him there and get the best receivers coach available. Watch the film, we suuuuucked at that position and getting open in 2018. Wasted 2 seniors who were better as sophomores. See Alamo Bowl 1 for details. We lost 6 games last year including to KU, Tech, and almost lost to a bad Cal team. We spend around $40 million a year in football...not counting this $100 million for the east side expansion. OU, Ohio State, and Bama spend in that same neighborhood and wouldn't accept 6 losses as a return on investment. No way.
I think Gary misses Bumpas more than anyone...Bumpas seemed to take a lot of game day pressure off of GP. They were really in sync on the sidelines
