Official Coaching Search Thread….

[Gary's Shirtless Revenge]

Everyone would be very impressed with the coaches we called who declined to participate in the process… this is, in large part, what the search firm helps with (along with background checks and the like). We knocked on every conceivable door.

Related: Every fan overstates the value and contribution of the search firm. They are essentially worker bees, not at all like the hired banker or big 4 consultant y’all make them out to be, where you almost pay for them to make the decision.

Any thoughts you can share on the S&C coaching situation?
This seems to be an area where some focus/changes could pay big dividends.

It’s an area of focus and improvement, Sonny will get what he wants in the end.

Offering guys with minimal interest and likelihood of acceptance is not aiming too high. Completely different concepts

Mel tucker, aranda, Ryan day are too high

So we reached out to Mel Tucker and Ryan Day???!!!?

Are you a little touched?

There will be offers made to several staff members who we want to retain… They may not accept. Some will be offered positions to say no to, and they probably will, and that’s fine.

who is the "we"in the phrase "we want to retain"?

Yah this twitter handle is a good bit. They certainly have endless material to create new content with.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I know.

David Gilmour once crooned, "I thought I was getting older and wiser, when I'm just getting old..."

How many of next year's games has Sonny already lost?

50%, that's what his history will tell you.

He will win one out of every five against ranked teams, will be below .500 against teams with winning records, and will beat the teams with losing records.

Wash, rinse, repeat

I fully expect to see Napier get left out by LSU and Florida. LSU grabs Aranda, then BU grabs a left out Napier after TCU hires Dykes and Baylor keeps winning...

Can you imagine if this happened? The ultimate gut punch.....

If you’re disinterested in TCU football, why are you posting on this site?

One poster on here thinks that Ryan Day is on the verge of being fired so maybe we should've just held out a few more weeks for that to happen.

Are they not the least bit concerned they settled on a career .500 coach (over 130 games), who is 5-22 against top 25 teams, has a losing record against teams over .500, has one conference championship to his name a decade ago, and consistently fields defenses rankled in the bottom 25% of all D1 programs?

Not trying to flame, those are the numbers, and it's a legit question. I'm just wondering what the mindset was inside the "bunker" when they decided to go this route?

History tells me that you've posted on this site for less than a week. So thanks but no thanks. I'll wait to see what actually happens.

Sometimes my family lets me pick which restaurant we’re going to.

Congratulations....I'm still waiting on that day.

Posting frequency has dropped significantly this season.

I do love rustling some Jimmies

The numbers are the numbers....

The numbers are the numbers....

It's easy to predict failure, because more coaches turn out to be busts than successes. Your numbers don't explain how guys like Saban and Jimmy Johnson excelled when they went to better, more talent-rich/money-rich programs, though. It's a crap shoot. Enjoy the ride.

Take a lap.
