He said that you won’t see DUI charges or him saying the wrong thing to somebody. In his eyes it was just that he didn’t win a title in the past 2 years.
If we don’t grab him someone else (probably OU, OSU, Ark) will and then we get to recruit against him for kids in our own backyard. I agree that spots are limited, but he’d be worth it. The guy clearly knows how to coach and he’s got 10 year NFL pedigree as a TU alumni. Maybe some kind of O or D quality control position until another spot opens up. We had Blank coaching special teams before he became HC.
Is that the same guy as their hype man that made all those videos and walked around during football games with a megaphone? I thought he was a bit much then I heard about some of the branding things he did and he certainly is not afraid of taking risks to get results.
Yes, tremendous man. No, not working for TU.
The football team hasn't won multiple national championships. I grew up in a similar minded band program in MA. The band director did what he wanted mostly because he raised the money to do what he wanted. He told the school board the band wasn't playing at a football game because we had a competition. One school board member tried to have the band director fired and said board member resigned about 3 days after it became public because of the backlash.
I like Dykes too. Wouldn't surprise me if Texas Tech came calling. Rumor out of Lubbock is there is no patience for Wells and his staff and lack of improvement right now.
He took the money. You would too if you knew your record could only go down in that conference in a small state where Utah and the Y will always rule. It was a bad match and a bad choice. He will be fine. He will turn up at UTEP or New Mexico or Nevada in a few years.
That school has been unrealistic since they bought Spike Dykes from Midland Lee and his knock off of the Cactus Jack Curtice offense. Somebody like Graham is perfect for them. Promise the moon. Almost deliver. Built up unrealistic expectations after knocking off a team nobody expects them to win. Move on.
OT I know but can’t resist! I heard it was TG’s dream job.
Malzahn Will be available too and maybe a better fit at Tech. Then again, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Tech take the Briles plunge. It’s only a matter of time before someone does.
Agree. We all know I think Montgomery is a huge mistake. We’ve had success in part due to an exceptional player and other teams not being prepared due to CoVid. Despite that, we’ve nearly lost three very winnable games. Recruiting this year is questionable at best though late additions could make a difference.
I think your idea of the gullibility of some AD's is underrated.
That’s cool. It’s part of the deal. Kragthorpe did the same then walked it back. We’ve been here 120 years. We can take it.
I'm afraid Janet might have something to say about that. She and her acolytes can do much more damage than Montgomery could ever do.(And there is more truth to some of what Montgomery would say, than we would like to admit right now.)
While we all know Monty has deficiencies being a head coach and much of it can be summed up to stubbornness and not bringing in an OC to call plays and let the HC focus on game mgmt and all of these things should be apparent to anyone who follows TU football and warrants a change DESPITE the W/L record this year, we know TU WILL NOT fire Monty after getting his team to the AAC conference championship game. While it's fine for a P5 program to fire a coach for persistent 9-3 seasons, can you imagine the outrage TU would face for firing a coach who just got them to the conference championship game despite being picked to finish in the bottom 1/3 of the conference. It's also hard to fire the Conference Coach of the Year. Even if Cincy claims the conference title, Monty is clearly the coach of the year simply because of the low expectations of outsiders to start the year.
