Welcome to The Swamp guys. Watch out for the bottom feeders.

Our new AD is smart and has already proven himself saavy by keeping both
baseball coaches and getting enough money to build the Carter east side expansion, which has already started. I'm sure he will make a great hire.

Meh. Good riddance. His lifestyle choices probably fit in better in Austin anyway.

Dumb

Interesting. Isn't that Nebraska AD the one they've been wanting to run out of town for a while now? Or am I just thinking of something else entirely?

 

[RollToad]

For the record, as likely as it might be that I would have an Art Briles parody account, that is most certainly not me.

Why am I not surprised that someone who calls him/her/self "Art Briles" would come up with a statement like this?

Drew is a great guy and is very good at what he does. Congrats on a well-deserved promotion. He will do well and TCU will find a great person to step into his place here.

Last time I checked... TCU has a large number of LGBTQ students enrolled. Trolling piece of trash.

Go away CDC

Go away CDC

Seriously. There's an entire country full of capable people. Go grab them from somewhere else.

Good luck, Drew! Thanks for everything you’ve done for TCU.

The plan is "hire everyone there that will come, then hope we've got whoever it is responsible for all of the winning."

He picked a guy he had a great relationship with and gave him a massive promotion. Athletics administrators, like most university administrators, come and go—they often have to in order to move up and advance their careers. Wish them well and move on.

Is going from the Associate AD for Marketing and Licensing to the Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs really a promotion?

I get it and that's how many business relationships work.

Doesn't change the fact that his relationship was a result of their time at TCU. First him, then who's next? Slippery slope.

Don't wish anything but the best for him, but I prefer CDC go fish in another pond. Just my opinion.

I believe so, yes

If anybody thought Scott Patrick (Feisty?) didn't suck, I present to you...
