It's good that we have this venue to express our thoughts basically openly on TCU Athletics, pro, con, and in between.
"the other variable is are we changing just the oc, the scheme, everything?"
The $64mil dollar question - only GP and Kelsey probably know. IF, Sonny is truly making $975,000/yr., then I can certainly understand why we raise tuition every year. If this is true, I'm at a loss (which is not that unusual), but really now, how can this be?
i think regardless of when changes get made there are a few realities that have to be accepted and a big one is tcu is not about to go open check book on position coaches.
believe i read pittman at uga was getting paid $900K to coach their offensive line, texas is paying herb hand $640,000 with roughly another $100k in available bonus money, and ou pays bill bedenbaugh in the area of $750,000.
if chris thomsen were to go to fsu i could be wrong, but i don't see tcu willing to pay that far above $500,000 for an offensive line coach. could be wrong.
i said elsewhere if thomsen were to leave one coach i would like tcu to talk with is joe ashfield at rice. ashfield is late 30's-early 40's., he spent 5 years at stanford breaking down game film for scouting reportings, analytics, and setting up practices. bloomgren brought him with him and made his rice's offensive line coach after working with him those years at stanford.
coaches i know who have spent time talking football with ashfield say he is very, very bright and i think he is the type of guy you would bring in and ask to build a run game scheme.
beyond that it depends on the degree of change, if in theory cumbie is staying but open to help in the passing game give anderson a job offer he can't refuse and go get an experienced passing game co-ordinator. the big key for me is i want a passing game that builds off a strong run game, open to moving the pocket a bit, and i like determined routes
all of that is worth what you paid for it.
