I Guess No News On Cumbie's Interview This AM

[jack the frog]

I am a great fan of Strong and his character but it also is clear to me that, after watching 5 or so complete Horn games this year, Strong is in over his head and most likely needs to go. He is overmatched and overwhelmed.
 
Hard to turn down 3.3MM guaranteed but that is a total fire drill down there. To me you almost have to plan for a new job in 1 year and some damage to your long term career, all in exchange for a check.

Chip Brown reporting Strong will meet with another candidate. Some guy on orange bloods reporting Cumbie said yes. TCU 247 guys saying Cumbie has given no answer.

Isn't Chip Brown from Orange bloods? So he's reporting they're going to go interview another candidate despite their top candidate saying yes? Orange bloods on point

Chip is with Scout. And he's been the most accurate in this process fwiw

That Scout article is somewhat optimistic.

When does Tape Fingers get his interview?

If I'm Cumbie I'm meeting with the AD, not Strong. Need a 3 year commitment that Strong isn't getting fired

He was also solid in his reporting of TCU getting a Big 12 invite.

 

[jake102]

Chip was also 100% wrong on most everything else...especially Saban IIRC

That isn't how this works. He'll get three years pay guaranteed.

No he wasn't. Chip was right about Saban and PAC 16- it just changed last minute.

Agree here, Strong a problem. Watching them leaves doubt for every phase of the game.

I don't believe either of those things

Former TCU football/baseball player Chris Thomsen for those unfamiliar with CT. PHENOMENAL human.

I don't believe you

I doubt he'd commit to 3 GAMES.

He can either coach our bowl game and be in the spotlight with several awesome recruits or go watch their bowl game and get a jump start with the his new team.....oh wait.....

I have no inside information on the Saban affair, but what Chip reported on the PAC-16 move back in 2010 was correct.

I don't remember the details. Maybe so
