RUMOR: Cumbie and UT

[froginaustin]

He's supposed to be in Wooten's house tonight FWIW.

I hope he's there for the good guys.

 

[BrewingFrog]

Wow. I honestly don't get it...

Cumbie has everything at TCU. Everything. Job security, great town, good schools, bunch of super guys to work with, and the pay ain't bad. Why would he cash all of those not-insubstantial items in for a parallel move to a high-pressure gig, with a gang of backstabbers to work around, in an expensive town, some good and some awful schools, with the distinct possibility of being fired 12 months from now?

Unless they're cutting him a cashiers check for $10 million, it's a lousy deal. If he takes it, he's a fool.

So there.

I'd like to see an air raid defense.

Watch Gary's

I saw that on the recruiting thread, it made me wonder if Wooten is waffling?  Otherwise, not sure why the HC would make an in-home this far out from signing day.

Cause it is a bye week and the coaches are literally all over the country making in-house visits.

Im hearing a lot of chatter today from Horn buddies that Cumbie is on his way

Meaning listening to Austin sports radio speculate that he would come if offered.

 

[NewFrogFan]

I think we should get Matt Grimmett to "talk" w Cumbie, they were teammates at Snyder!

 

[Moose Stuff]

Time for GP to go get Tye Gunn and bring him "back".

What's he up to?

I bet him and GP have a nice talk on their drive/flight to San Angelo today.

Wooten is solid. Cumbie is doing his job.

They're going to San Angelo for an in-home because that's what you do for your QB recruit. It's a no-brainier no matter how solid you think he is. They have time because of the bye week and are making sure things stay locked down.

Cumbie is all class. He's going to genuinely recruit for TCU as long as he's employed here. Obviously CGP thinks so or he wouldn't be sending him out.

Yep. You don't stop recruiting kids just because they're currently committed to you, no matter how firm the commitment seems to be.

Was thinking the same thing. Patterson will be recruiting Cumbie to stay on the flight to and from. Even Wooten may be the one recruiting Cumbie to stick around.
 
(Kidding about Wooten, really. A coach won't often stay for one player, but time with CGP talking, thinking about,a nd meeting with the future of TCU can't hurt the cause to keep him.)

So there.

Everyone hold your horses.

Remember when Steel started a thread saying that Meacham was gone, and it was just based on one tweet from some dude who said they may have reached an agreement, and then everyone on here was congratulating Meacham on his new job?

All we have right now is Longhorn message board rumors. Yes I'm sure they're going to come after him, but I guarantee you that nothing is agreed upon or implied yet. Longhorn website moderators and their fans just assume that if UT offers a guy more money than TCU that he will 100% instantly say yes to their offer.

UT is gonna offer him a lot, but Cumbie is gonna be smart about it and do what's best for him.

My guess is that if Meacham stays here and UT offers him $1MM to be the sole-OC, then he's probably gone (at this point it wouldn't be a parallel move, he would be going from co-OC with no play calling duties to sole-OC with play calling duties). If Meacham goes and Sonny can be "the man" at TCU, he stays here.

Whatever happens, don't just concede defeat to UT because they're hearing that they have him locked up. They're only hearing they have him locked up because arrogant UT fans assume they can get him. It's one bigarse game of telephone.

110% dead on IMO.

Seriously if I put myself in Cumbie's shoes and UT offered me $1M, it's just not enough given their current circumstances. There has to be a guaranteed $5M over four years whether Strong stays or not and is guaranteed whether I am let go or not. The severe risk of stepping into that quagmire has to be mitigated in writing.

If that represents a $400,000 raise he would be a FOOL to turn it down.

Same bunch of arrogant dumbarses that said Saban was a done deal to Texas.  Then they got Strong.

He'd be a fool to take it. Making an extra $400k for a very likely one and done year is fool's gold.

I can't imagine he'd leave for anything short of a multiyear guaranteed deal.
