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

[Frogs1983]

Seacrest out. Good luck to you guys.

See ya! Such trust in your University's Head Football Coach, Athletic Director, and Chancellor, that you won't even give them the benefit of doubt regarding this matter, or at least wait until they give a response regarding okaying the hire, before you cut and run?

Looks like I picked a bad scheissing month to give up Quaaludes.

He's been hired. Time to move on and stop the bitching. May he succeed and get us a Big12 Title next year. AND be a positive role model for the players. If Dykes wants this, then I am good with it.

I hope KB explains why he tapes his fingers though. Not a good look.

The same reason a catcher does it.

is that for real? I guess I could see that. It's interesting though, he's the only coach I've ever seen that does this.

For hand signals calling plays, pointing out where the white girls are, etc.

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

A choice that should never have to be made.

Says a lot about Sonny that he knew about the pushback and controversy yet went forward with his plan to hire Briles. Sonny has faith in his process and he sticks with his convictions. Once again I'm impressed with his stick-to-it-iveness. No drama, no questioning. Just decisions and action.

 

[Dogfrog]

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

What exactly are you waiting for him to acknowledge?

@jackets320 posted this earlier today and it may be worth reading to help get past this hire and the Briles’ hate. But you have to be open minded.

Baylor Used A Racist Smear Of Black Football Players To Cancel Art Briles

The big-time college coaching career of Art Briles effectively died on May 26, 2016. The coroner’s report listed sports media-induced “cancel culture” as the cause of death.

The people freaking out on here just keep speculating because there’s no evidence (or even allegations) that implicate KB.

You think Donati, Dykes and others would put their reputations on the line without due diligence and having a high degree of certainty that KB wasn’t involved in any of that? I doubt it

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.

question, if the issue w howard is/was simply a matter of money and that amount is a fairly sizable amount for someone that has thrown all of 4 passes in his college career how did sonny and the frogs blow it?

He is…..normal coaches just wear a different colored hat or shirt.

 

[Zubaz]

What exactly are you waiting for him to acknowledge?

1) That he was wrong to be part of a system that covered up and otherwise minimized sexual assault.
2) That he was wrong to protest the firing of Art Briles after all of those allegations came to light.

 

[DeuceBoogieNights]

Starting to think he was hired to help keep Gary away from the program...

/sarcasm

 

[Stables Bartender]

We hired Sonny and some of you some of you Bitched, he took us to the National championship. Coach Kaz was Added to the staff and some of you Bitched but in every player interviewed he was the first coach mentioned about making them responsible and changing the attitude of the players. Kaz is now everybody's favorite coach Now your latest punching bag is Kendal Briles and if he leads the offense to another Great season he will be your next favorite coach. Trust Sonny to do what is best for the team.

 

[tjcoffice]

What??? I just hope someone vetted this guy. Give him a fair shake, ok, sure, but why not someone else??

 

[frogetaboutit]

Will be interesting to see what happens with this hire. But if I see any dancing dorks on our sideline - THEN I'm out!

1) That he was wrong to be part of a system that covered up and otherwise minimized sexual assault.
2) That he was wrong to protest the firing of Art Briles after all of those allegations came to light.

For all the sexual assault that was going on down there, I'm not sure anyone was actually convicted of sexual assault, were they?

I don't know what actually happened, but apologizing or admitting wrongdoing for things that happened that didn't really happen the way it's being alleged would not be easy.

 

[JugbandFrog]

I have to trust in Dykes. I have to trust in Dykes. I have to trust in Dykes.

Ayyy. Don’t like it, but I have to believe that Dykes is the kind of man that understands this situation and sees that KB is not the immoral ahole many of us believe him to be.
