Hmm,
This couldn't have been a big pay raise, right?  And he's not really jumping to an on-field position, so it's essentially a lateral move...   I bet Morris could have found the difference between what TXSt was offering if he felt Coach O was instrumental to our success.    Wonder who the new guy will be?

Does TX State have more money than us?

I don't know if this is really that big of a loss.  I was excited when he came on board, but I don't think the steak was as good as the sizzle.

Do we have a GM?

Not so sure about that.  Director of recruiting to general manager is certainly a jump up status-wise, and probably pay-wise.

[SUMG]

Ever see the guy? He's humongous. Once saw him tweet, that he had just gotten home. (This was in May). And that he was gonna stay in his truck for 15 or so minutes....because he was dreading going up to his apartment on the 3rd floor. 

So good for Bobcat High. They can have his initials on their unis.......when he cacks. 

[Tom McKrackin]

Traitorous to take that job.  Good riddance!

Its definitely a promotion and pay raise. In today's college football landscape, the head coach and GM decide who the team is going to recruit/sign and its the Director of Recruiting's job to oversee the recruitment of the players chosen by the coach and GM.

Is that guy George Matsakis for us?    I don't even know who that is or what he does.
George made $91k last year while Coach O made $65k, so yeah, definitely a bump in pay.   

Looks like I'm wrong on this one, and Coach O took a nice opportunity.   Best of luck to him!

I hope he doesn't forget to take his receipts with him.

[MeanGreenTeeth]

Isn't he the guy who acts like a Vegas promotor?  Oh no, hate to lose him 😉

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Pointed out his bs antics throughout his tenure, as well as his body. Yeah, I'm body shaming per the role. I want discipline and work ethic potentially walking into the home of recruits, not that. Nooooooooow people want to point out, too.

The lean queens are right. Fat guys have no place in football.

All the great football minds watch their figure.

Is it lateral if:

• TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us
• Memphis and USF go to the ACC
• UTEP is in Mountain West
• We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA?

That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.

The San Marcos Wing Stop franchisee has to be happy about this.

That's not a shot at him, Coach O always tweets about Wing Stop lol.

He is very connected to DFW and helped bring a lot of HS kids here. However, the game is changing with the portal and NIL.

[Harry]

Was told by a wise guy whose football knowledge I respect that O would have been more valuable to us prior to NIL.  That said, he worked hard for us and I do wish him and his family well. GMG

Come on man, this is uncalled for.

High King is just glad his former Cougie High basketball team has come a long way since their pathetic 2015 and prior form.  Congrats on the bankrolling from a sole billionaire.  Even though you did absolutely nothing to have deserved it in the first place.  It merely fell into your lap.

They coach who single-handedly revived a bad D1 basketball program who happened to be unfairly blackballed had his show cause coming to an end and was coaching the Rockets. 

 

It really was a perfect storm.
