Graham Harrell appears to be a leading option with the right combination of:
  1. Scheme fit – Modern Air Raid / spread passing, which works well since TCU has a talented redshirted QB they want to develop.
  2. QB development pedigree – Harrell has a track record of turning talented but inexperienced QBs into productive starters.
  3. Moderate disruption – He’d bring a new offensive voice without completely overhauling the roster or alienating personnel.
So if TCU’s goal is fixing the passing game, maximizing the potential of a young QB with his college career still ahead of him, and showing some immediate progress with the least chaos, Harrell actually becomes the most plausible hire under the current circumstances.

I don’t know if Briles leaving is good or not but I read this in an article about his time at Arkansas and it shines more of a light on some issues in my mind, which allow for his leaving to not worry me so much.

“Indeed, in his two years starting under Briles, Jefferson was pressured a staggering 184 times (roughly seven per game).”

Sensing a pattern here. Maybe a breath of fresh air will be good for everyone involved.

Requesting more information on him please. I see that he was OC at 5 different schools. Progress or job-hopping? Offensive improvement each school?

Don't think I've mentioned this on here before.

I have worn contacts for pretty much my entire life. I started out with soft lenses and then developed sensitivity in my eyes (conjunctivitis, aka GPC). I switched to gas permeable hard lenses, which were great for a long time.

Then in my left eye I developed an issue with the gas perms. My eye wouldn't grab on to the lens correctly; sort of like astigmatism.

So they gave me a "piggyback" lens. In my left eye I wear a soft lens without any correction (to smooth out the curvature) and a gas perm lens that rides on top of that one. The best part is that every once in a while I'll blink out the soft lens from UNDER the gas perm.

So I wear three contact lenses.

So, you’re basically third eye blind?

Which type of surgery? I was always under the assumption that you'd still have to wear reading glasses, regardless.

They always say that, but it is not the case much of the time. I had LASIK in 2018. After the initial six months of regret, my brain got used to it and now I have a close up vision eye and a distance vision eye. No more reading glasses. They say a touch up may be needed after 8-10 years. That’s where I’m at now. I can tell that aging has diminished my vision a bit more, so I may have to do it again.
Lens replacement is a similar but better option for many.

Currently OC/QB coach at ACU. He has bounced around.

From Wikipedia: He previously served as the offensive coordinator of the North Texas Mean Green (2016–2018), USC Trojans (2019–2021), West Virginia Mountaineers (2022), and the Purdue Boilermakers (2023-24).

Would need to research numbers, did he have much success at those stops? He does have experience and he is going to have a Dykes connection.
