FYI Montgomery makes $800K a year.  Will be interesting to see where our new staff salary falls in line.

 
 

Cross one name off the list of candidates for the University of Tulsa football opening.

On Friday, TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham declined a request to interview for the vacancy, a source close to the situation told the Tulsa World.

Meacham, a finalist for the Broyles Award, played at Oklahoma State and was an assistant there under Mike Gundy for eight seasons before spending a year at Houston and moving to TCU this year.

Following the dismissal of four-year coach Bill Blankenship on Monday morning, TU started conducting out-of-town interviews Wednesday. Among those who have interviewed with athletic director Derrick Gragg is Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, a 29-year-old native of Tulsa.

So that is good to know.  I would hope that our vacancy was seen as a better opportunity than Tulsa's.

Probably seen as more convenient for his family. If he doesn't move to Denton, it's a problem.

Why would it be a problem?

 

He is going to have a massive undertaking. An hour commute is an hour less working. He will be getting paid a lot of money.

Not only that, but he needs to divorce himself from TCU culture and learn the dysfunctional culture of UNT and Denton. 

It's important.

Just declined an interview. It's not they offered him the job & he turned them down. At least that's the way I read it. 

I see it the same way

Dodge lived in Southtlake. Mac lived in Denton. Both sucked.

IF given the choice of moving to Denton or staying in Ft.Worth, we have hired the wrong man if he moves.

I'd go buy a nice place around Argyle if I were him.

Agreed.  If you want to come and change this culture and coach here, move here.

Culture will truly ever change if winning, winning consistently, and winning big time/relevant games are part of the equation.  Yes It's nice to have the coaches living in Denton but first and foremost is he able to get W's.

And that ability will be lessened living in Fort Worth. 

If he truly lives in Arlington, he should move immediately, as it's a safety concern...

Keep in mind that he was never comparing between Tulsa and UNT.   That article is almost a year old.  A lot changes in a year and whatever lead him to not interview at Tulsa could be irrelevant now.  

Could be that he is old mother hubbard and next year only Foster Sawyer is in the cupboard.

That's not Denton. Plenty of nice places in the city of Denton to move to. 

If one of the "17" wanted, it would make sense to buy Mac's former digs and lease them to the new coach on favorable terms.

I believe that he lives west of the TCU campus.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
