See, that's the thing: He isn't in demand. Sonny is reaching out for this creep, specifically. Likely out of sympathy for an old friend. Whether or not that is the case, bringing someone on Staff to be on the Front Yard of TCU for all to see who was an integral part of the Baylor Rape Scandal is not acceptable. He brings nothing to the table which outweighs that, and there are literally thousands of others who could fill those duties who do not have the stink of Briles about them.

Oh but he is. To try and retain him, Arkansas just gave an extension and raise to $1.3 million.

I don't know how Briles would work out if we hired him, but criticizing a guy because he didn't set the world on fire at Arkansas is about like criticizing a coach for not winning big at Cal.
Arkansas YPG last year = 471; TCU = 455. He outgained us with lesser weapons and against tougher defenses.

Yeah, he is a hell of an OC.

At the end of the day this comes down to TCU people hating Art Briles and Baylor. It has very little to do with Kendall. My final observation… the average TCU fan feels some sort of moral superiority over the average Baylor fan and worries that will evaporate with this hire. So if I’m being honest I see this as more of a TCU fan issue than a Kendall Briles issue. I don’t expect that to be popular but I’m pretty comfortable with the observation.

I've been at a horse show and sale for 4 days. So update me. Did SC actually reach out to tape fingers? Do we know that for sure?

Tape Fingers offense did not hold up too well at times this season. Against big opponents, you have to go 4 full quarters.

Hold up. The talent they had at Arkansas was big time. Size, power, speed. He had everything at his disposal.

Why do you hate Art? Second chances…. Great football coach… Not convicted of anything… Vetted by a public high school in Texas… Rape culture at Baylor was a school-wide issue that the football program became the scapegoat for. Hire Art….
OMG, are you serious?! That cover up in the football program was insane. He got hired at that highschool because some in the district and some boosters were BU folks who wanted to win. Dude had roided up players who played dirty as hell in Stephenville. He was no saint at Houston either.

Who has the book? Because some on this thread need to read it. Not so much about tapefingers, but about what happened in that program. There are emails and texts in evidence that showed what that monster allowed to go on, and how they covered it up.

GP hiring guys no one wanted, versus SD hiring guys that everyone wants has to be obvious to everyone, right? I hate Art Briles with everything I have, but Kendal is his own man. Not sure what his involvement was in the whole situation, but a whole bunch of people at TCU seem to be ok with it, so lets rock and roll.
I am somewhat along these lines. But there has to be a clear understanding that his dad is not allowed anywhere near the program. We can't risk that kinda pr hit. The only thing we think we know of tapefingers is that some person claims he asked, "do you like white women? to a recruit. If he was even close to that escort situation baylor had going, then he is a no go.

And they had like the 15th best offense in terms of yards gained in the country. Unfortunately, only like eight D1 teams had worse defenses than Arkansas so their record wasn't very good.

I’ve started seeing more posters talk about the fact that he and Arkansas had better stats than Riley and TCU last year.

Just would like to point out that, while that may be so, one side made it to the National Championship game.

Would also like to point out that Tech fans liked to talk about stats all the time when Leach and Kingsbury were there. Where did that get them?

Give me actual wins over stats any day.

Hate families do you? Why separate a man from his father?

I am guessing that Riley wanted to run his offense. Which I would bet is more like what was at OU under his brother. Which would fit us well. There were times this year where we stepped from that and went air raid mental state.

Because his father covered up mass rape.

Hate families, do you? Why do you want a man near our program who covered up mass rape and caused devistation to the family of defenseless females?

I want to win, but not that bad.
