they could’ve done a lot worse with their hire. No guarantee it’ll work for them but I hate to be that guy but not a bad hire for scUM

Well, lost respect for Whittington. Hope he drives them into the ground somehow.

Wondering if the buzz around Monken was really for OC. Seems like a backwards move.

All true. And some have suggested he could just enjoy the massive salary increase and mail it in from the golf course.

On the other hand, he has coached for 32 years and suddently has a legit opportunity to win a NC.

Something interesting about Moore is that he has fielded two of those 9-4,10-3 teams with a program which Poggi describes as malfunctioning.

Pay attention to the staff he puts together. That is the first place Ellison's money will go.

Threat level High.

So the word out on why so many RBs have transferred out, is a combination of incoming freshman, Derreck Cooper getting a massive NIL deal and it caused Texas collective to try and "restructure" the deals of some of the current RBs. And at least Wisner, asked for a raise to $1mil for next year, to be paid like a true RB1, but his production didn't signify a significant pay bump

9-4, 10-3 coach. Pretty much their historical norm since the advent of the forward pass.

Right or wrong, you can sell against that.

Any kind of big, public, new sheriff in town/clean up stuff can be spun into a deemphasizing football counter claim if you want to.

I think the adults in charge at the BOT level are actually going to lean into that more than football fans think they will. Watch for a board committee to oversee the athletic department once they shitcan Warde. If that happens all the NIL money cannon stuff will be operating in a harsher environment. Likely a classic case of over reacting/swinging the pendulum back too far the other way for a while and it doesn't take much of that for the rest of CFB to let the talent know, you aren't serious about football anymore.

I'm not worried about the headlines of the coach. I am watching for what they say and do at Warde's level and above. That will tell you what's really going on.

I tend to agree with you. Not elite, but solid, with a great reputation. Which honestly is what TCUN needs just as desperately as a good coach. He won't bring any baggage with him. It's hard to not like KW. But I'll start trying if the hire is made.
But this much I know. The fans of the evil Empire will turn him into an immediate legend and savior. Their arrogance (yet again) will get the better of them. It's in their DNA.

I think Wittingham would be signaling a 4-5 year window where an outside caretaker of good reputation just oversees a clean up.

On field results won’t be the focus. The institution needs to get things back to where there are no more inconvenient incidents countering their virtue narrative.

I also don’t think the DFBIA understands that.
