I’m not an insider but I know some. I was very skeptical 2 days ago. I am MUCH less skeptical currently.

Who are the TCU fans that buy the tickets and fill Amon G?
What is their contribution towards TCU's success?
Are they all TCU athletes and alumni?
What level of awareness or program knowledge would you ascribe to the TCU fanbase?
What is the value of goodwill when kicking a well-loved coach to the curb?
What did JD do in advance, to set up the TCU community to accept this change?
How many critical large organizational changes have you successfully planned and executed?
What grade do you give TCU (VB and JD) for managing this change?

Literally everything you just typed is meaningless within about a week after the hire is made. The only thing that matters is winning. If he wins the fans will back him. If he’s loses we’ll be in the exact same place we are right now.

Nobody wants to stay in Dallas and coach against former mac/sun belt teams

Samples would have many other options if he wanted to pursue them IMO.

If we get Samples while keeping Kelly and Applewhite and then start landing some good commits/get our old ones back, the dykes hire will look like a genius move.
Add in a top OC and DC and then we’re really cooking.
Can’t wait for the spring game!

A bowl game helps everyone. It is a reward for seniors and practice time for underclassmen. This move likely helps to transition to a new era along with keeping stability. This move almost feels like it has a little bit of a Gary Patterson influence to it. There are not a lot of great HC candidates available right now. There will be several good coordinators available along with position coaches.

I don’t disagree. Just don’t think it’s gonna make a difference in the end. I’m confident we’re gonna assemble a staff that the kids want to stick with. Will some leave? Sure.

Nick Saban was also high on our list. Just a really rough run of bad luck on our part

I hope not. I wouldn't want high school players from DeSoto, Aledo, Allen, etc., to get the wrong message.
SPRING GAME????????
Just don't see the infatuation with keeping certain coaches myself, but ok. Totally fine with keeping both Kelly and Applewhite, but I would imagine if they decide to coach elsewhere a player or two or three might leave, but I also assume there's a good chance their replacement(s) might be able to lure a player or two as well.
This idea that we need to retain certain coaches so certain players don't leave....a little short sighted IMO. There's gonna be big turnover every year in college football, if we get good coaches we'll get good players.
