Awfully quiet on the DC front.

They had a tough schedule, Ohio st, Oklahoma state, Cincinnati, Houston.

Not a bad point there. It looks like in all those games Tulsa held the opponent below their average yardage. Houston came closest and gained 405 yards vs their 415 season average in a 45-10 blowout.

Update on our "former" assistants getting new jobs besides Cumbie?

 

[jack the frog]

No, partly why I was thinking Gillespie has it. I think JC mentioned one of Georgia’s DCs may also be a candidate.

Gillespie is another connected Texas recruiting guy also, correct?

Do we have a list of who was officially retained?

Lost a first round DE/LB to the NFL and I believe both starting corners transferred to Mizzou as well.

What's TCU's schedule look like?

I think Meach may be staying on as a WR coach.

I like the 2020 numbers but this year his defense ranked 69th nationally. I hope there are a lot of positives under the surface.

gary would still be around here coaching if the frogs were ranked 69th nationally

One would hope that TCU is able to bring in slightly better players than Tulsa so any comparison of schedules is pointless.

If we're not able to bring in better players than Tulsa, then none of this [ Finebaum ] matters anyway.

Gonzales and Kelly.

Handful of staff is with Kill at NMST (Beck, Wright). I haven’t seen anything on Fitch, Modkins, Applewhite, Hill, Sharp, Anderson, or Meach though as pointed out above there is some talk that Meach stays on if Gru ends up not being the other WR coach with Kelly.

How about Clemson’s DC? I heard he is pretty good. Oh wait. Never mind.

Maybe they’re waiting on Manny Diaz to become available when Cristobal takes his job, possibly later today.

Manny Diaz is unemployed.

Manny Diaz is unemployed.

And would just be a part timer until someone is looking for a a HC…

Manny Diaz is unemployed.

The Surly Horns guys spell it _iaz...since there is no "D."

….so we shouldn’t hire assistants who are valued by other teams. Ok, got it.

So are we. Warden Art is the living embodiment of How Not To Do It, a sociopath with a whistle, and the most horrible piece of slithering filth to infest the ranks of Coaching in my lifetime.

Sacks of crap like Warden Art are kept viable by people who do not care what wreckage is left behind when a person like that is handed power and control. As it is, any lazy amount of due diligence will show that he is literally radioactive in terms of employability. No underwriter would tolerate him attached to a payroll. It was bad enough having to take the blase attitude of hiring Kazidi, the hiring of Warden Art would be a clean and sharp indication that my support of TCU had come to an end, for the University, in hiring such a vile swine, had conclusively shown that they no longer cared about principles, morals, good, or anything else that resembled a virtuous nature for something singular and abhorrent.

No.

I used to feel that way, but when a school throws a legend like GP overboard,

Just came here to post that.
Other than that one season at Texas his defenses have been pretty good.

I will say that I am a huge fan of Patterson, and have enjoyed the 20+ year run as much as anybody else. The sad fact was, he needed to go. Even he knew it. He simply wouldn't admit it to himself. As GSR's post of some days ago shows, the man was worn out mentally and his vision was narrowed and blinkered. Purely IMHO, his health was also suffering. He needed to step aside.

I am cautiously optimistic with the New Guy and Staff (Not FNG, yet...). We shall see what they can do with what they are given, and what they can bring in. The old regime is gone, and it isn't coming back. And, while we aren't sailing into exactly uncharted waters, at least the mermaids on the map have big Brilesboobs...
