I’m not an insider but I know some. I was very skeptical 2 days ago. I am MUCH less skeptical currently.Any insiders hearing anything about Samples? IMO he is key to recruiting and portal success.
Who are the TCU fans that buy the tickets and fill Amon G?<Ron Burgundy is an Idiot GIF>
Literally everything you just typed is meaningless within about a week after the hire is made. The only thing that matters is winning. If he wins the fans will back him. If he’s loses we’ll be in the exact same place we are right now.Who are the TCU fans that buy the tickets and fill Amon G?
What is their contribution towards TCU's success?
Are they all TCU athletes and alumni?
What level of awareness or program knowledge would you ascribe to the TCU fanbase?
What is the value of goodwill when kicking a well-loved coach to the curb?
What did JD do in advance, to set up the TCU community to accept this change?
How many critical large organizational changes have you successfully planned and executed?
What grade do you give TCU (VB and JD) for managing this change?
Nobody wants to stay in Dallas and coach against former mac/sun belt teamsI’m not an insider but I know some. I was very skeptical 2 days ago. I am MUCH less skeptical currently.
Samples would have many other options if he wanted to pursue them IMO.Nobody wants to stay in Dallas and coach against former mac/sun belt teams
What is this spring game thing that you speak of?If we get Samples while keeping Kelly and Applewhite and then start landing some good commits/get our old ones back, the dykes hire will look like a genius move.
Add in a top OC and DC and then we’re really cooking.
Can’t wait for the spring game!
the thing that we used to do under GMFP but not let anybody watch....that was it.What is this spring game thing that you speak of?
SD is going to need some room to work the portal anywaySome guys are going to leave. We really can’t get caught up in that too much. It’s not like anybody is so good it would negatively affect us more than a little. Sure there are players I would like to stay around, but it’s the price of making this decision. I do think making a bowl game would help make the transition get going quicker though.
This. Period.Literally everything you just typed is meaningless within about a week after the hire is made. The only thing that matters is winning. If he wins the fans will back him. If he’s loses we’ll be in the exact same place we are right now.
I don’t disagree. Just don’t think it’s gonna make a difference in the end. I’m confident we’re gonna assemble a staff that the kids want to stick with. Will some leave? Sure.Fair enough. Just seems like coaches would have a lot more influence when they are right there with them on a field or in the locker room than they would trying to track them down on the phone over the holidays.
I could get behind some sort of Funkytown motifWill the team be wearing "Fort Worth" uniforms now?
Nick Saban was also high on our list. Just a really rough run of bad luck on our partI think he was about our 10th choice behind Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, Jimbo Fisher, James Franklin, Chris Petersen, Kellen Moore, Sean McVay, Mike Tomlin and Sean Payton.

Just don't see the infatuation with keeping certain coaches myself, but ok. Totally fine with keeping both Kelly and Applewhite, but I would imagine if they decide to coach elsewhere a player or two or three might leave, but I also assume there's a good chance their replacement(s) might be able to lure a player or two as well.If we get Samples while keeping Kelly and Applewhite and then start landing some good commits/get our old ones back, the dykes hire will look like a genius move.

What we really need are Six Sigma analytics.I don’t disagree. Just don’t think it’s gonna make a difference in the end. I’m confident we’re gonna assemble a staff that the kids want to stick with. Will some leave? Sure.
