247 Sports: BREAKING: TCU hires Kendal Briles as new offensive coordinator

[The Bad Guy]

Well no sense bitching about it, at least he seems to know his offense and recruiting. Any chance KJ Jefferson comes with him?

 

[frogs9497]

He actually flew in on a donor jet this morning.

But I like your thinking

I should have ended it with “/s.”

I’m on the fence with this hire. I’d hate to see the program lose momentum, but I’m guessing fallout won’t be massive.

Double-darn you Sonny Dykes.
Welp, putrid burnt-orange shirt it is then.

Tbh the avatar is now more in line with the moniker though

 

[ftwfrog]

The man got us to the National Championship game. I trust Sonny.


Go Frogs!

Edit: and all of you who are done with the program, let me know where your seats are. Looking to upgrade.

No I know it was a joke and not a bad one

 

[Diehard]

Got to hand it to Sonny. He has to know what may be coming at them and from what we have seen he will be prepared. My guess is that he's comfortable with what he has learned about Briles. Not sure it was a smart hire, but then many here were not sure the Dykes hire was either. I'm in the wait and see mode. At least for now.

 

[Traveling Frog]

In Sonny I trust. Interesting perspective with blowing the 5* QB recruiting, whatever Kendal is being paid is probably less than the the QB was requesting.

 

[TopFrog]

Will TCU address the controversy and negative reaction by many in the fanbase or act like it doesn't exist?

 

[GradFrog]

people should never be given a second chance apparently

Would be a lot smarter to just ignore it IMO.

The angst will pass over pretty quickly if I had a guess.

Sonny Dykes' "strategy" to keep Kendall on task:

 

[HFrog1999]

If TCU doesn’t win the National Championship next year, then he sucks and it was a terrible hire.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

Sonny and the Frogs have certainly made the last 5 months interesting and I guess we will see where this takes us.

 

[allclearforfrogs]

He's coached some good offenses and has been a finalist for the Broyles Award. Sonny trusts him I guess and he's been vetted by 3 other schools. I just wish there wasn't questions about the past. Let's see how this goes.

 

[Relic]

Between the portal and NIL, college football is becoming unrecognizable to me. And now TCU has a Briles on staff? As Max rides off into the sunset I think I will do the same.

 

[TooColdU]

Can't wait for the student section "leaders" in overalls to all start taping their fingers in solidarity with Tapefingers.

 

[LisaLT]

Hey KillerFrogs, looks like you will need to remove the filter on the name of the team's new OC.

yes, that would be a good idea.

 

[Putt4Purple]

I’m good with it if Dykes is. A lot of handwringing around here. Moral servitude be damed. Forgiveness and observance to one’s cause is a noble thing. You ones who disagree with this hire, go to work looking for the discrepancies. I’ll keep on supporting the Horned Frogs instead of bitching about it!

When they refuse to even acknowledge that a bad thing happened....no, no they should not.

 

[DeuceBoogieNights]

I really hope Sonny knows what he's doing... Big risk for a reward we probably will never get to again. Here for the ride.
