TCU assistant Cumbie turns down Texas offer | Fort Worth Star Telegram
And everyone rejoiced.
“I want to thank Charlie Strong and everyone at the University of Texas for the opportunity to be the offensive coordinator there,” Cumbie said in a statement released by TCU sports information. “It is a position that I have seriously considered and given much thought to. There are many factors that go into making decisions like this and after weighing them all, TCU is where my family is and I want to stay.”
TCU QB Boykin hopes to make O'Brien Award history | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Boykin would be the first Horned Frog to win the award, named after a Horned Frog.
Boykin, a senior, is a finalist for the second time in efforts to become the first quarterback from TCU to win the award named in honor of the Horned Frogs’ only Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. Boykin, who ranks second nationally in total offense among FBS players (380.6 yards per game), joins Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson among the finalists and feels a special bond with the award’s namesake. The winner will be honored in a formal ceremony Feb. 15 at the Fort Worth Club.
Cumbie decision an indictment of Longhorns football | Big Mac Blog
I think it's also a ringing endorsement of the TCU program.
TCU fans will hail this as a sign of the state of its program, which is true; Cumbie’s decision is an alarming indictment on the state of Strong’s job security in Texas - which is officially zero. Once the coordinator’s head is chopped, the next to fall is the head coach.
Cumbie turned down the chance at a seven-figure job to be the lone play caller for Texas, which means he thinks there is a better chance at a better promotion by remaining a co-coordinator at TCU. That means he doesn’t like the players he would have available to turn around an offense that would “save Charlie’s job” in the one year he has remaining before he will be fired.
