Congrats Coach! Wish you great success!

Looks like #TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham is taking the #UNT job, according to reports by @brettvito. Nothing official yet.

Patterson's head coaching tree expands, never a bad thing when attracting new assistant coaches.

Congrats to Coach Meach.

Meacham is the right hire. First and foremost, we need a recruiter with Texas ties. He's proven he can put a very effective offense on the field. His choice of DC will be important, but recruiting trumps all else.

Nice sentiments by most. Still some strong butt hurt by others. I hope Meach poaches whoever he can out the door. Bunch of douche bags over on that site.

For a team that didn't start consistently having .500+ seasons until Patterson came along, they sure have a strange outlook on how pivotal a good coach can be for a Texas football program...

Gotta love that people think he deserves "better," though.  Makes me think we got something good coming our way for sure. Also, good on the folks wishing him well.  Hopefully some of them will keep following his career if he lands here!  *crossing fingers*

That's how everyone who isn't a hard core fan views this program, young Ben, if they view it at all.

That thread should be required reading for a whole bunch of AD insiders. 

Right now this program is rightfully viewed as the worst in the nation. In the 15th year of the current AD...

As mentioned elsewhere, I guess RV really doesn't leave many friends anywhere:

"Assuming this proceeds, I hope Coach Meacham lays down the law that AD Villareal needs to stay the hell off the sidelines, and keep clear of his coaching business."

From that thread...

Talked to some of my TCU peeps, not a favorable response from any of them when asked about Meacham to UNT, and for all of them it was for one reason. RV.

Never happen, but they know our AD well...

Apparently everyone in this part of the country who is involved in college football knows the problem, except for 17 people at UNT...

When this hired is made I will give full credit to the President. I will not acknowledge RV at all.

Why?  Is RV not involved?

Yeah, he's involved. He's holding Smatty's jockstrap. And will launder it later.

It looks like he's been sidelined or figureheaded for this coaching search. I also feel like the president will understand that our new HC's wall of skins and more importantly, wall of recent skins means the coach knows more about running a football program than RV.

[greenjoe]

Did you notice in that whole 8 pages worth of postings, that not one person mentioned NTSU ?  Perhaps those TCU folks just keep up with the goings on in college football in the last 20 or so years than some other alleged college football fans.

Is this confirmed?  I really hope not.  I know everyone here wants RV gone, but if he's not going to be gone then he's going to have to be able to work with our new coach and his staff.

Is anyone else having issues with the TCU site on mobile?
