Texas hired CDC

[Tom Brown]

Having a strong TCU advocate in Austin is going to be valuable during the next round of conference alignment .

Inside man

Just like we long conned aggy for baseball.

Whatever happens I’ve stopped worrying about our ability to survive things like this. We’ll find someone else who is really good at what they do.

You seemed pumped

Weird conclusion to draw from nothing more than a hyperlink.

I'm still in the denial stage right now.

True enough. But, he's a guy who brought a lot to the table. It will take a while to find out if the person who replaces him brings as much.

I’m not real worried about it.

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

I’ll just say I don’t want to hear Jeff Long’s name in connection with this job

 

[SportsJunkie]

Definitely a bummer but having a former frog in Austin can't be too bad. (assuming no bridges were burned which I doubt)

 

[texas_sicilian]

Hate this, wonder if it was salary. AD’s carry so much responsibility and aren’t rewarded nearly as much as the coaches. We owe a LOT to him.

Have fun trying to make burnt orange jackets look good. Thank you CDC for what you've done here. Can't say good luck though.

Darn. Hopefully he doesn't get the itch to get the band back together and come after TCU's coaches.

 

[Frog Wild]

He's always reminded me of Mayor Carmine De Pasto in Animal House: "if you mention extortion again, I'll have your legs broken."

 

[Bruce Berry]

I’m not real worried about it.

Me either

Darn. Hopefully he doesn't get the itch to get the band back together and come after TCU's coaches.

Schloss is the one I'd be most concerned about. I don't believe the other 2 would leave.

Bingo. We can't pretend that this wouldn't hurt, but remember that the last time this happened, we lost an AD to the NFL and replaced him with Rice's AD. That turned out pretty good. Hopefully we can attract the same type of top-flight talent to replace DelConte if this turns out to be true.

[tetonfrog]

If true, best of luck to CDC. Any idea who might replace him?

 

[AroundWorldFrog]

I’m being told this is true.

Until CDC puts out a tweet or messages you, I'm gonna hope it's not true.

 

[Atomic Frawg]

WTH!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks to be legit. He could have gone to any other school in the Big 12 and it wouldnt have bothered me, but TU? Damn.

Yeah, going to an in-state, in-conference rival pretty much sucks. Makes it hard to pull for him. Had to know how TCU and Fort Worth folks would feel if true. The thought of having him at competitions with burnt orange on stings.

 

[satis1103]

Hopefully this is just a well kept secret that the TCU admin has known already. More notice to organize a search would be helpful.
