Texas hired CDC

[Chico Dusty]

What if she tried to take your good buddies Schloss.

Hahaha. Then things would escalate

 

[Moose Stuff]

What if she tried to take your good buddies Schloss.

Better than if she tried to take his Dixon.

Congrats CDC. Thanks for everything you have done for TCU. You represented our University impeccably.



Anyone who wouldn't leave your job for a $250,000 raise, please hold up your hand.

Even though we don't like them, Texas is arguably the number one Athletic Department in the country.

Also, calling them TU is very Aggy.

Battling metaphors. May need a separate thread. Who is taller, Jamie or Schloss.

 

[Rabidfrog]

Wonder if Beth Mowens is open.

 

[Deep Purple]

This is a fact. Fundraising has not been secured and Is ongoing. Serious doubts it will happen with an AD search by the deadline.

Frankly, we don't have to raise the full amount. Sales of suites and club seats will cover a large chunk of the cost. This is not nearly as big a fundraising task as the original stadium rebuild was.

Victor Boschini is the best in the business and he and the trustees will hire a great fit. Not worried at all.

Chris loves TCU and will help us every chance he gets.

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

I have no problem with Chris doing what he thinks he needs to do. It’s a bigger job and obviously one of the few he would leave to take. He gave us his best. I’m not even worried about finding a replacement. No doubt the BoD had a short list

 

[NYC Horned Frog]

I appreciate everything CDC did for us but he also just took another job, in our conference, to a key rival.

It's a mutually exclusive situation. He's a longhorn now. So, later dude. Looking forward to our continued beatdown of the underachievers down south, he's in that camp now.

CDC is a consummate salesman. This is his core competency. Convincing people to do things they would not have otherwise done. Texas admits with this hire that they need a salesman, that they can no longer get what they want just by asking.

It also makes me wonder if CDC has concerns about small private school fund raising due to the proposed changes regarding deductibility of athletic donations.

As long as he doesn’t attempt to come after our people or decide to trash talk us I will always wish him well.

Tip 20 in football, basketball and baseball. No major coaching hires on the horizon. No major facility needs in the major sports. He’s left us at a great place to find a new AD.

We need another salesman/politician like CDC to work the room at Big 12 AD meetings and with the athletics world, media works and donors. The next hire is about sustaining, fundraising and getting TCU through the mid-2020s realignment/media rights deals with a home in a Power league.

 

[givings]

Very well put. I hope we take the time to find the right AD

 

[Frog Wild]

He's got a heavy heart and a heavier wallet. Thanks for the memories, it has been fun.

 

[YA]

It also makes me wonder if CDC has concerns about small private school fund raising due to the proposed changes regarding deductibility of athletic donations.

This is a huge concern for any school not just TCU. But this bill will kill fundraising like no other.

 

[PurplFrawg]

is Beth Mowins available?

Wonder if Beth Mowens is open.

hmmm?

 

[Tom Brown]

Wonder if Beth Mowens is open.

You need scissors to get that open

 

[MinerFrog2409]

CDC did a ton for this university and I thank him for that. Now that he’s at Texas forget him, move on and beat him. If he doesn’t want to be at TCU any longer then we don’t want him here. He left our school in great shape for the future and I’m fully confident that a school with 3 top 25 teams(and that’s just in the big men’s sports) can attract a great new AD.

 

[Dogfrog]

Wonder if that human dynamo Kirby Hocutt is available.

 

[TCU_91]

Sooo, I guess we can say

-4

Seems excessive. I bet you could get it open with a garment steamer.
