I have no idea how you could be talking about the correct guy. Maybe you caught him on a bad day. Mark is awesome and “rude” and “arrogant” are words I never would’ve imagined anyone would use to describe him.
That was fast! New AD announcement!

I think this is a good hire of someone who is smart, personable, and has had extensive on the job training under Del Conte. Obviously Boschini and company think he is the right person at the right time. Hopefully we will not miss a beat. I hope he will keep an open line of communication with all of us fans like Del Conte did. That was a great thing.
I have both heard about it and had a negative experience with him. This was years ago. Perhaps he has mellowed.

Interesting decisions
Jeremiah is personable and a great communicator and can raise some cash.
And while deep is wrong in several things - he is correct that Jeremiah is very green and frankly I have always assumed he would go to someplace like SHSU or NT for his first AD role to gain experience actually being the boss before coming to a high stakes poker game. He is going to have to grow up in a couple of ways pretty quickly to even try and fill the shoes left behind.
Assuming that our big 3 coaches wanted someone who would keep the status quo more than someone with experience in the job - I can’t see ADJD giving out orders to GMFP or any of the big 3, more like order taker
Now is probably a good time to have someone learning I guess given our coaches- but we are at a tipping point in some ways and hope Donati can push it the right way

Why would you say that?
Mark is great and has been very good to this site. He is well respected in the media and that is nothing but good for TCU
Dan Jenkins calls him the best SID that we have ever had and that speaks volumes

As an Italian, I'm very comfortable with an Italian replacing an Italian with another Italian.
All good.
All good.

Don't know Cohen, but from the social media I see both about him and from him, he seems like a guy that has handled a hard family situation with great grace and compassion and love. And has Frog Factor.

Ive only talked to mark once but he was super nice.
Spoke with CDC a lot, hence the insane frusrated reaction. Still angry about it being UT but less so at this point. As long as we dont lose any coaches and dont get delays in east side club or any other fundraising efforts its not that big of a deal. He was just a really good AD, good guy as well.
That and I rooted for Texas for about 15 years until I began to loathe them as I do now.

Let’s look at it this way:
However,
- Do we have any major head coaching vacancies or desired upgrades in those positions?
- Do we need someone to babysit or otherwise keep in line our head coaching staff?
- Do we need someone to do a fulll strategic rethink in order to make us competitive in major sports?
- Do we need a complete overhaul of our facilities?
However,
- Do we need a strong fundraiser who can deliver on existing plans for a partial upgrade to the football stadium?
- Do we need someone who can consistently maintain what is a pretty nice status quo?
- Do we need someone who will continue to let the head coaches run their programs and et us closer to pulling in some national championships?
- Do we need someone who will make incremental changes based on existing strategy?
- Do we need someone who will make sure we are never again left to wander the conference desert when the GOR burns off next decade?

Having taken Italian at TCU I believe Chris Del Conte would be of Spanish origin, while the would be Italian version would be Di Conte. Obviously he had to go.

Folks slamming internal hires have never run a business, guaranteed.

That last one is where Chris Del Conte steps in. He's going to be our Ann Richards on this next round. You watch.

Nah. Whole family went to UT, grew up watching them. When we moved to TCU, my dad switched allegiances after quite a few years and I followed suit.

I stand corrected, I knew I should have studied abroad.
