Is Kendal Briles a serious candidate?

[FrogBall09]

Sure, but if he was not charged, that means some prosecutor determined the evidence was not there. Its safe to assume most proesecutors want to indict cases they expect to win. I hope they do not hire the guy. But, am willing to trust the coach - SD - and the administration to make sure.

What exactly would he have been Charged with?

 

[The Frog to be Named Later]

Auburn hired Hugh Freeze. It’s obvious most athletic programs don’t care about this stuff. I hoped tcu was different.

We used to be. Coach P lost his fastball no doubt but I believe he wanted to win, but the RIGHT way. Or at least talked a good game. This potential hire makes me question our integrity as an school/admin.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Shouldn’t surprise anyone that the son of an ethically-challenged football coach would be amenable to the son of an ethically-challenged football coach.

My wife and I have gone out of our way to support TCU in the decade since we moved out of state. We're currently discussing how we feel would be best to make a very large donation to TCU.

I can guarantee that if my wife reads that our beloved alma mater hired Kendal Briles, then that money will go elsewhere and TCU may not see another dime of our money again. I hate to think that the train wreck in LA is the last TCU game I will witness in person for a long time, but that may be the case.

I'm in the market for a good cow horse. I accept cash and cashiers checks.

Coach P ran a clean program - you can count on one hand how many players had conduct and legal issues on multiple occasions - and most of them are public

Boykin / Turpin / Fields and a couple from the earlier team.

Mac Jones got a DUI and Baker had public intoxication so the bar incidents happen everywhere

What did Spike do

 

[Pharm Frog]

All I can say is that Mrs Pharm is actively rooting for Briles to be hired at TCU.

@FrogPreacher She’s rooting for it because she knows it will liberate the back half of the year. She’s already started a VRBO trip list for September and October and got my American Airline password to investigate how many points it will take for weekend trips to Los Cabos and a week in Ireland.

So why not Art? He’s better than Kendall and would come cheaper. Art was never “convicted” of anything. Don’t we think that high school he coached at did it’s due diligence?

Dykes wants someone younger that recruits better.

Art is a PR nightmare. Kendal will be talk for a week and then dead issue.

Meaning and (hopefully) he's not coming?

 

[FrogBall09]

I laughed. That guy was something

Well he did warn everyone that this exact situation was where we were headed when he hired the previous Baylor guys -

And he lived up to what he said - his son told me he changed his will and sent the majority of his money that was originally allocated to TCU to the 5 service academies instead

You have no knowledge about how well Art recruits. All I ever heard about was how great he was at recruiting and this from high school coaches and parents

Realize, under GP, we had a number of players suspended fo domestic “incidents” who were later allowed to re join the ream. Most were actually arrested.

 

[FrogBall09]

And the legal departments and athletic departments at 4 previous universities somehow missed everything?

No they just determined that it was worth the risk - again maybe you guys should really evaluate what level of due diligence you think a school actually does…

IMO, If someone is ok with the hiring of KB, then the idea of hiring Art should be ok too. Should also expect Art on the sidelines or in the stands supporting his son. Probably wearing purple and doing the horned frog sign.

TCU would become purple Baylor. With all of the stephenville/Briles people on the staff this era of TCU football would just be the 2nd phase of the Briles Baylor era. Seems the insiders and the big cigars are cool with that though.

 

[Tshirt Fan]

Gary & delConte already demonstrated puke orange is a lousy fashion look compared to Purple.

Want to name them?

Most likely. Notoriously short memories, we have.

If true (and not implying otherwise)….all the more reason GP should have exited sooner. Unless those accusations were spurious.

Pre-scandal - sure. Out of the game for a decade, older, and post-scandal? No

Yes but they were all suspended until the investigation played out were they not. Point is we acted and then adjudicated when the facts came out. Not like other programs that sweep stuff under the rug.
