I predicted that GR name would pop up there! I think there is a Dragon coach that can coach a little offense “out there”.
It begins - Carrington to Arizona State
- Thread starter LVH
- Start date

It's mostly been A&M geared outlets and then some people connecting the dots out there on social. But regardless of A&M there are certainly going to be plenty of Riley connections with other jobs over the next few weeks. Flip side of having so much success this year so at least we are the beneficiary of that!

To me a major foul to come after coaches in the middle of prep for games at this level!

I have a relatively decent source telling me that Samples was a large contributor to the dumpster fire that was the Rams RB room.

Rice Football Recruiting hires "TikTok Coach" Marco Regalado
There's a new director of Rice Football Recruiting in town. The Owls are expected to hire "TikTok Coach" Marco Regalado for the position soon.

Marco Regalado achieves lifelong dream
The COVID-19 pandemic forced people to stay indoors. including Marco Regalado. To combat...
Great dude, know him from my time as a high school coach around DFW. Would be a slam dunk hire
Such an odd hire to begin with. Seemed like more of a salesman and promoter than a coach. No need for that in the NFL.

Really. Maybe TCU dodged a bullet there.

Disagree. I think this is more a classic case of a guy perfectly suited for the college game and not at all for the NFL.

a number of sites value traffic over accuracy and they don't really have good sources. especially for the large schools where you have multiple sites fighting over alums/fan eyeballs
way, way too much i think a good guy would be instead of an actual source telling them that they have contacted.....
that is why you can trust of all the news you don't get here, not really any other free tcu site to be trusted unless you are chatting with lvh on reddit between his suspensions

agreed, you are talking a guy with 3-4 years of college coaching experience who as we have said before the primary skill is recruiting
you really don't do much of that in the nfl, but he was given the shot, took it, and has landed on his feet.
time for sonny to make another good hire to replace carrington

But if your eyes are wandering elsewhere are you really the perfect mate?

sonny knew what he was when he hired him and that is a young, ambitious guy with ties to parts of the metroplex through his dad
every sales force needs foot soldiers and that is what carrington and samples were for tcu. they did a damn good job and they are on to the next job.

Pretty much everyone in the coaching business has wandering eyes until they get the head job at a big time program.But if your eyes are wandering elsewhere are you really the perfect mate?

And very few do. What does that indicate.
The fact that assistants do so much of the recruiting is such a strange dynamic. The odds of any of the assistants being around in two years is probably 50/50 at best. And recruiting is supposedly all about relationships.

Pretty much exactly what I was told. The RB room for Rams was a tough situation to be in charge of no doubt but him having no experience and only coaching college played a factor in how he mishandled it.

Not really worried about Garret Riley taking another job this year. It’s possible it could happen, but I don’t see him taking a different OC role, and most good HC jobs will probably want to see more than 1 year at TCU as OC.
He could probably get some [ Finebaum ]ty little HC job if he wanted to go that route, but if I was him I’d stay here for a couple years, learn as much as I can about coaching from Sonny, and then take your shot as HC at a solid program.
What worries me very very little is the fact that he has appeared on lists for the OC opening at TAMU. I mean it’s possible he could go, I don’t know the guy personally, but that opening just doesn’t really seem like a good move.

The problem: GR is currently hot on the OC market. He is losing Max, Miller, and QJ. Next year will be a year to really demonstrate skill at the OC position. 2 years in a row with HUGE success with different personnel would light his career up. He would have HC jobs to choose from. If next year doesn’t live up, his stock falls.
If I’m GR, I’m going to thoroughly assess who steps up for TCU player-wise and whether I think those pieces could be great. If GR leaves now, it’s likely a sign that next year will be quite tough for us.
