Wish him nothing but the best after reading his bio, but selfishly hope he stays. I seriously have no clue whether this even sounds like an upgrade. I guess it depends on where he sees the best fit for his desired career path.

It's just weird for guys to take jobs at TCU and then go for other positions literally within a few months. If it were a TCU staffer who had been around and was waiting for the right opportunity, I'd understand.

Which goes alllllllllllll the way back to the players. Why get criticized for seeking a better opportunity when coaches are literally leaving the coaches room before the ink dried on their contracts.

Curious to know HC feelings towards this. If he expected it or if he's a bit baffled as well.

Just strange.

very common in coaching the last few years and as much as posters here might not like the nfl it is a freaking nfl job that will always be on his resume

no recruiting, no parents/uncles/high school coaches/handlers etc...., better money in 99% of the jobs, definite perks and if you want to come back to college on your resume is you were an nfl running back coach.

seriously the one position you can get away without having really great knowledge of the game and give your resume a huge boost

I would guess he is going after them, not necessarily that they are coming after him.

He may have very well given his agent/manager the nod to put some feelers out... thinking that if it takes a couple of years to turn it around here, it could delay his personal goals. Though, his primary strength is supposedly recruiting, not sure his present skill set is in high demand for the NFL.

if the rams are serious in interviewing there is a reason and recruiting is sales and sales is relating to people.

he won't have to be the guy who comes up with the game plan with that head coach so maybe they like something else in him

We gotta take the good with the bad from the direction the program has pursued. We put the loyalty card on a boat and shoved it out to sea when we grew tired of the too patient, too loyal head coach and terminated him and his staff. We’ve gone the route of chasing prosperity by bringing in bunch of hot new hands that are all on the rise. We hired them away by helping them advance in quality of position/program and helping them make more money. That’s all it is. They don’t love TCU at this point in their lives. Many of them will do the same as they move on to new gigs from here chasing their own stars. Sometimes we will be left (temporarily) high and dry. It’s just the reality of the path we are on. It’s going to be hard to get used to. If we start winning big it’ll be easier to get used to. Different approach than we are accustomed to, but potentially one that can become accepted and comfortable if things go as hoped.
