[Cr1028]

The scoop is saying that orangebloods is reporting that UT is after Cumbie for their OC position.

Maybe that is delaying Meacham. 

Cumbie will go from a $210K salary to $1 million 

[James]

This might hurt our chances? If TCU is willing to pay more for Meacham to stay?

[Aldo]

I don't think it hurts us because TCU would have to pony up more money than necessary for a good OC, and TCU can get a pick-o-the-litter OC out there. 

[Harry]

It hurts us becaus if TCU loses Cumbie they will try to bump up Meach's salary and convince him to stay.

[Wag Tag]

They will bump up Cumbie!

 

[Harry]

If Texas wants somebody they will get them.  Even if it is at an outrageous price.

But does Cumbie want them? Associate yourself with a sinking ship may not look good on the resume.

[LongJim]

Texas has supposedly been working on getting Cumbie for a while.

They supposedly wanted Chad Ford last season but Patterson wouldn't "pony up" the $5 million required ... so there is that one exception.

Are we not a sinking ship, or have we already sunk?

Your comment confuses me.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I'm having flashbacks of DeAndre Jordan this summer already. 

[Eagle-96]

footballscoop.com is reporting that North Texas has become central to the coaching market with other dominoes to fall depending what we decide. Zach Barnett reports that Meacham is considering the UNT job and a decision could come as early as tonight or tomorrow morning. 

IMO it looks like the job is there for Meacham to take if he wants it.

Texas is a sinking ship. Why would Cumbie want to go there.

We are already at the bottom. Texas is still trying to find the bottom.

Strong will be gone by next year!

[UNT90]

It now concerns me that Meacham is leveraging for a hefty raise by delaying a decision until tonight or tomorrow. Gives TCU the chance to counter.

Gotta love it!!!

Lets get this done so we can start talking about the new BB COACH!

which is one of the reason Patterson is gone

He would be taking a huge gamble that he could turn around the offense in 1 year. 

Because that's all Strong has left to prove himself.

He isn't taking a head coaching gig.

I don't see them paying him more as an OC than what we're willing to pay for a HC.

Maybe Georgia?

We don't know if we're waiting on Meacham ... or Littrell ... or if he (or Littrell) is waiting on us.

This. My gut feeling is that the fuse on the Strong bomb is getting pretty short. One more season and done for him, absent a miracle. I guess that is why they would pull out all stops to get Cumbie.

Maybe Georgia? 

Patterson the former UT AD, not Patterson the TCU HC.
