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

[Rifframbahzoo20]

Wait, so people are still mad about tcu cutting ties with the previous coach because of poor performance and then in a shocking turn of events his replacement turns around and leads the team to a NC appearance.

Perhaps these people have some vested interest in being mad.

Good lord.

Not everybody knows the full details, which is why I said right or wrong

I would say you’re a sick scheiss.

You just blew whatever credibility you had on this

 

[Rifframbahzoo20]

Non-TCU fans literally have no idea this happened

Of course, we are talking about like 1% of the population that is die hard college football fans here. In the grand scheme of things, non TCU fans wouldn’t have really cared if we hired Hugh Freeze either.

I’m saying that’s what I would tell my son lol

If you're aware of this, then why do you keep talking about how this is going to sink/ruin our reputation?

It hasn't, and it won't. It's last week's news at this point outside of our message board.

I assume these people are close friends and family of his? I’m struggling to find people who are *still* upset about his departure especially given the complete 180 that occurred after his separation.

Not in my experience. I’m the only TCU alumni at my work place and all of the other co-workers are from schools all across the country and they all come up to me asking about the hire. Ga Tech, auburn, tOSU, Miami, San Diego st, Illinois, Norte Dame…doesn’t matter it’s a national topic amongst college football fans. Will they care very long about it? No but they see my TCU emblem on my desk and immediately ask me about it.

Sorry, I don’t believe you. I haven’t been asked about it once. It’s almost a complete non-story. We hired a new OC, that’s about it.

 

[McFroggin]

I’ve watched years of TCU football and consider myself a fan of college ball in general. That said, I couldn’t name a single OC that is not at TCU or Clemson. An OC is important for your primary team, but enjoying the sport doesn’t require me to know non-head coaches.

Right or wrong people do still look down on tcu for firing Patterson. Either way that is not as big of a deal as this is, and if anybody looked down on us for that, this surely sinks it much lower.

you should have stopped typing after the first sentence, well actually, you shouldn't even have typed that first sentence

don't know one person who that thought applies to and you need widen your circle and get off all social media

they had credibility?

I’m not going to dispute your experience. I’ve had one friend ask about it and he’s a UT guy whose son went to TCU. Maybe word got around your office that asking you about it to see your response was entertaining

“The U” has long had a questionable reputation, as does FSU and the SEC.

Maybe we should have just hired Hugh Freeze.

There is not one single D1 school that doesn’t have dark events they’ve tried to minimize.
Texas for instance:
- UT has knowingly signed convicted drug dealers, Reese Leitao.
- Ibrahem was dismissed/arrested for stalking an OkLite coed with revenge porn pics.
- Ehlinger died of a Fentanyl OD that he thought was Xanax,
- Case McCoy & Jordan Hicks assaulted a woman after getting her drunk in S.A.
- Sanders & Meander raped a woman
- Chris Beard beat the hell out of his wife
- Applewhite had an improper affair with a student while his wife was pregnant.
- Bev Kearney was fired for improper student realationships, but then UT paid her $600k to keep her lawyer from revealing at least 10+ other improper coaching relationships

None of it diminished UT’s reputation, or hurt their recruiting, and most is forgotten within 1 year.

Fair enough. Guess those I work with are more die hard college fans than I thought.

Yep and we sought out to hire a guy who was smack dab in the middle of one of the very worst examples of that and make him a team leader. Not my TCU these days.

Maybe you’re just a guy they enjoy screwing with, like a wedgie.

Ha. Just small talk mostly. Once I said not a good hire for the off the field stuff and I’m not going to defend the school on it…took the wind out of their sails. Think they were wanting me to defend the hire and KB’s Baylor involvement and I didn’t.

Yes that’s obviously it

My friends from other schools that bring it up have expressed they’d take him as OC in a heartbeat. Baylor guys question it but they’ll forget all about it if our offense becomes as good as the one KB had at Ark last year.

Take Heart — A Moral High Ground

One can believe that TCU occupies a moral high ground here by hiring these former Baylor coaches after time has passed.

Baylor is a visceral rival and TCU rises above it all, rising above all those whom just won’t let it go and continue to judge and hold unrelenting condemnation of those Baylor staffers of a decade ago.

Texas Christian University is leading by good moral example and being better. Get on board, people—Lead On, Go Frogs!
