[Moose Stuff]

When will SD get his first Frog commit?

2 days ago?

 

[Moose Stuff]

you left out the worst details of that story, but i am sure cal had their reasons for pulling the scholarship

Didn’t want to rehash the whole thing on here. Not sure any good comes from that.

 

[frogs9497]

Given this hire, it seems we played our hand pretty well.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Do any of the decommitted WRs recommit?

Possibly

 

[BrewingFrog]

the selective high road is not a great position to take especially when you have had staff at one school long enough for a number of things to have accumulated and be swept under the rug so to speak

Perhaps so. Yet, one wants to think the best of those we admire, and are willing to turn a blind eye up to a point. That point is different for each individual, and some may have no limit at all (See: Baylor Regents). But it is important for a Program, and a University to have standards. Once those are bent, or just sneered at, then there really isn't any difference at all between one Program or another in the race to the bottom. Illusions always wind up being shattered in the long run, and while some may treasure the remaining glittering pieces, the whole is irreparably destroyed and only left as a cherished memory.

Nice of Florida to wait until Church services were over to make their announcement...

 

[East Coast]

Yeah, ultimately everything that happened there happened because of a terrible culture. Everyone involved shares some blame but the overwhelming majority of it falls on the Admin/AD/Briles.

I agree with this; I'm going to assume that TCU has vetted Kaz unless I hear otherwise. This doesn't stop me from being a little concerned about the situation.

yes, standards are important and i don't agree at winning at all costs

also very important to be careful when tossing stones at programs because there have been more than few players at tcu who disappeared during the off season never to be heard of again or say recruits who came with a certain amount of baggage, or say multiple domestic disturbance charges

not equating to the cover up in waco, but we are told a sin is a sin and for those who don't believe a sin or two has taken place inside the frogs program at times well.....

Wait, I was told Napier was a lock for LSU, like he was top 3 for them. Welp

 

[geezer]

He’s probably just spending the next few days looking over color and material swatches for his new office.

Think that is scheduled to happen after the SWAT team forcibly removes GP from his chair.

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

Glad to see that Tech finally has the moral upper ground over TCU on Coaching hires.

Because they hired a coach from Baylor as their head coach and TCU is hiring a strength coach from SMU?

It became clear the last few days he was going to land at UF. The LSU job getting more interesting. Anyone seen Aranda today?

 

[geezer]

If you were hiring him you would have that conversation.

Ask these folks:

Donati is the man who will be credited for making the hire, sources said, but he received input from a five-person selection committee featuring Donati, deputy athletics director Mike Sinquefield and board of trustees members LaDainian Tomlinson, Eddie Clark and Hunter Enis. TCU also retained a coaching search firm.

FYI in case you don't know the background on the trustees involved:

• Mr. LaDainian T. Tomlinson
  Sports Analyst
  NFL Network
  Westlake
• Mr. Edward “Eddie” A. Clark
  President/CEO
  Professional Turf Products of Texas
  Euless/Fort Worth
• Mr. G. Hunter Enis
  Partner and President
  Four Sevens Oil Company
  Fort Worth

the really interesting job search is the usc job. they have been open for quite a long time and the tcu job got more national discussion than usc

they don't have great facilities, haven't shown the willingness to spend at bama or clemson levels etc....but they have tradition, name recognition, and great local talent

how much of negative is being on the west coast and in the pac?

 

[Westsider]

Eddie Clark? Don’t know him. Must not be a huge donor. Pffft.

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

If that is true and he was not proven to be incorrectly accused- then frankly anyone that had knowledge of that should be suspended including the coaches that signed him (well we fired the HC already) and our AD staff that knew about it

But are really trying to deflect what Katz did at Baylor as say it’s not that big of a deal?

Looking for some consistency perhaps. You would think the the morality high flyers would vet everybody in the football program before they decide if it's worthy of their support.

Will he donate the turf to AGCS when Dykes swaps out the grass?
