Forgive me if this doesn't come out right. First time trying to post.
But according to Coachingsearch.com former DC Chad Glasgow has returned to TCU. He is probably wondering why he ever left. I don't blame him a bit for leaving if he wasn't going to be consulted about possible hires then hell yeah he should be pissed. I think Tubs is calling all (old) hands on deck to try and salvage this year because Hocutt has told him this is it.
Again sorry for the inexperience.

Good for Glasgow
See, it’s not Chad’s personality or skill set, TCU and staff are happy to have him back. I am of the opinion, that Tubbervill must be a meadalsome, ineffective, autocrat that people can’t stand to be around…once his assistants figure out how inept he is, and they can no longer stand to be around him, he blames them for his lack of skill, at coaching & dealing with people.
Further, I can’t believe these coaches would go through the hassle of packing & moving, for a 10 month job! What a pain in the ass, for their families & children!
I agree
and from what I have seen on the CBSCS Confidential, the behind the scenes stuff is about like the empty shirt we get at the podium.
and funny you bring up the travel deal, those young guys get so accustomed to it that when they finally do land and HC for awhile their egos go through the roof.

Welcome to DTN!!
Great first post. I am happy for Glasgow that he was able to land on his feet after the shady departure from TTU.
Have good and get give
Doesnt really say anything about the TTU situation
He is obviously a good position coach as he was retained for 10 years at TCU. No one knows what happened here at Tech. I am sure there were no broken bridges between Patterson and Glasgow when we left. Patterson understood he was taking a leap to a promotion (DC) in a better conference (also a promotion). Once it didnt work out, he was welcomed back as he was an asset to their staff. Also there is no love loss between TTU and TCU.
Get your kicks, on route 66...
Did TCU have a
slot open or will they can someone to make room for him.
Thank goodness that we have rid ourselves of this cancer
TCU can have him all they want but I can bet that they won’t be crazy enough to make him a DC. He will go back to being a safeties coach, which is pretty much all that he knows about defense.
My only worry is that given his weak ethical standards, he is going to pass on all of our classified information related to recruiting and game planning to Patterson and Co. I hope we are prepared to deal with this.
I'm sure Tubs & Co. are too brilliant to let anything CG might do impact us in any negative way...

Lol! yeah. Like they have been the past 2 years.

I would imagine CG & TCU have bigger fish to fry
Than focusing on how they can “get” TTU.

Some of u are acting like he did a great job here, he was HORRIBLE. This guy was not ready and his inexpierence showed. Why does this guy deserve to be consulted on hires when he doesnt know the 1st thing about being a DC. Tuberville took a chance on him and it didnt work, so be done with him. Let him go back to TCU
After being mentored
by TuBS, I think he will be even better at his new gig.

Really?
Although I will say some of my best learning experiences have come out of having a bad boss/work situation that was not a good fit. Didn’t mean I wasn’t good at what I did, just meant I wasn’t in the ideal situation given my skill set and/or the “leadership” style of my boss. Still an experience for professional growth though.

but you said it really convincingly!!

I knew you were joking but there is a serious side to this. Think of all the
things CG learned hangin with tubs. For example: Wind really does have
an effect on your vision which can lead to failure to properly read a defense.
Invaluable imo.

I dont think anyone thinks he did a great job, but the facts are simple. Tubs hired him. He was inexperience. He coached the same (not good enough, not fast enough, not strong enough…) players coach tubs complains to the media about. How was he given a fair shake at DC? If anything Tubs is getthing his second pass and Glasgow is getthing the boot. I would argue CG is not happy with getthing demoted, but is happy to be back to a winning program where he at least has job security. Not the same here at TTU.
Get your kicks, on route 66...
I'm not sure how good of job he did or not
I don’t know how much of a free reign he was given or if he was on a short leash. Whatever the situation, I’m glad he landed on his feet and it appears Tuberville is assembling a defense staff that will have “chemistry”. Very important.
Overall, I don’t believe the situation was handled well. Unfortunately, that seems to be status quo these days at Tech when it comes to the football program.
Die-hard Texas Tech girl & new Cougar (fan)! Bring it!
I recognized a lack of leadership at a coach-meet last Spring.
Tuberville and coaches came through DFW after a clinic and RRC emailed members they would be at a hotel for a meet and greet. Tubs came out and only seemed most interested in getting a drink. Spent most of our time talking to Neal Brown who really impressed wife and I. We believe it’s a matter of time before Brown becomes head coach somewhere. Was NOT impressed after meeting Tubs.
two things on this...
You can argue all you want as to whether he should have ever been hired.
But, given his results, or lack of, should he not have been canned? And if he’s only knowledgeable about the 4-2-5, and Tech was out on that, why would he stay or they want him to?
Secondly, who other than TCU would think he has worth?
Probably good riddance from both parties’ perspectives.

another funny thing...
It’s quite interesting the diametrically opposed povs where Tubs is concerned on this message board, as opposed to the rp board.
I realize that’s run by the alumni association and they feel some poor need to kiss his butt all the time, but wow, this is refreshing!
And I further cringe if we could have had Holgorsen, watching what he’s doing to Clemson tonight in the Orange Bowl.
by redraider90 on Jan 4, 2012 10:05 PM CST via mobile reply actions
RP site is a joke IMO. The mental horsepower isn’t there. Also, I agree if we had Holgorsen after Leach I speculate we wouldn’t be sitting at homw watching everybody else in bowl games. Dana is a winner and is just getting started. Look out Big 12 because here comes WVU!

Would love to see Dana back at Tech. I would even sport a mullet in support if someone makes this happen. Who is with me?!

Yes this place is refreshing
RP is a joke and run by the speathers. During the WVU game, there were a few posters that were rooting for Clemson and for DH to fail. Oh well.
Dana just won a conference championship and BCS Bowl win.
Art just had a player win the Heisman, got 10 wins and a Bowl win.
Oklahoma St just got a conference championship and BCS bowl win.

Whoooo!
Good grief, could you imagine what WVU would’ve run up on Tubs’ Raiders tonight? And I thought the OSU game was ugly. A repeat of the famous UH/Tulsa score of 100-6 might have been possible.
I’m with you: reading the RP board with its constant admin butt-kissing gets rather nauseating, especially with its Pravda-like overtones towards opposing viewpoints. But I’m noticing a lot more opposing viewpoints are surfacing over there, and its making the regulars somewhat uncomfortable. Hope that part keeps happening!
It will be interesting to see how Tubs' defensive genius will match up against all these new-fangled spread-type offenses...
Thank goodness a good defense always beats a good offense…

Mixed Emotions
I watch these teams like WVA and it kills me that was once us, and now if Tubs ever got ahead by 17, hell 10 points he would slow it down to “protect” the lead. The best way to protect a 10 point lead is to make it a 24 pt lead.
Now we will be subject to our own roots and be powerless to stop it ! Thats like US foreign policy, arming a country and a decade later, them turning the weapons back on you.
but a bit happy to see the AirRaid prosper.

Yep
The high scoring was non-stop for 60 minutes. Leach never let off the gas but instead inserted back-ups when the game was a blow out. Oh how I miss that mind set.

I hope Kliff Kingsbury can get his Air Raid purring like West Virginia before joining the SEC
I would love to see the SEC schools have to scramble to deal with an efficient Air Raid offense. Drag those neanderthals into the 21st century.
"...Fight for the school we love so dearly"
I hate to say it but I hope the Aggies have a miserable offense heading to the SEC. I support Kliff but not enough for A&M to have success. I think I’ll need therapy hearing that the Aggies run the Air Raid. Maybe I should prepare myself.
"You've got to find your inner pirate" - Mike Leach
They will have many of the same problems we did
when facing elite competition (TX and esp OU) a good D-Line can neutralize lots of the Air Raid. Hands in the air, knocking balls down, fast enough laterally to stop the draw plays and smart enough to not over run the pass rush and open it up for the middle screens.
Dont even get me started on the Man v Zone coverage, now all that being said they can exploit 70-80% of the SEC teams but they will also be facing more ball control offenses which they better be able to stop or they may never see the ball
Did anyone else see that 4th down conversion that Okie Lite made v Stanford. One guy on the line v Blackmon and one guy over. The quick slant was there all night for at least six yards + the missed tackles

Remember when Oklahoma was putting up 60 points for 5 games straight?
Well, then Florida beat them by holding them to 14. I can’t remember the last time a good spread offense Big 12 team beat a good ol’ fashion ground and pound, defensive SEC team.
Texas Tech swept the two game series against Ole Miss when Eli was Calling signals
"...Fight for the school we love so dearly"
WOW
But I’d hardly call that team your typical SEC team. Anywho, even if they were, do we really have to go that far back?
Big 12 & SEC schools play non-conference games once in a blue moon
That’s why gauging conference strength on bowl games played 6 weeks after the season ends is so bogus. SEC offenses are so simple a six week layoff doesn’t affect them one bit. RB’s looking for holes is all instinct. The spread and pass heavy offenses played in most of the rest of the country almost always struggle in the 1st half of bowl games because of the long layoff. The SEC has a structural advantage with the current bowl system. We’ll see how they do when playoffs finally arrive. Especially if they schedule the playoffs to begin the week after the conference title games.
"...Fight for the school we love so dearly"
How does this address mbrown's point about the layoff before bowl games?
Sorry… maybe I’m a little too slow tonight… I need further explanation…

I think we all know
if there is any team in the SEC that is anything like your typical Big 12 team, it’s Arkansas. Statistically they’re the #1 passing team in the SEC and #9 (I’m pretty sure) defense in the SEC. Sounds pretty Big 12 to me, and as we saw, excellent defense and ground and pound will more times than not beat spread offenses if those offenses aren’t good enough (and I mean GOOD) to execute against those SEC defenders and usually they are not. It’s a particularly good day if a spread offense can beat a stout defense that is just as good at running the ball. As long as Bama and LSU keep doing what they’re doing on defense, a Big 12 passy happy offense will never win. It’s the perfect antidote. Have you seen the Sports Science segment on LSU’s DB’s and Bama’s D linemen? You literally have to have an NFL offense to compete.
And by NFL offense I mean
If Brady, Welker, Gronk, Hernandez, Branch, Light, Solder, Koppen, Mankins and Conally aren’t on your team, then you’re done.
OK... thanks for further explanation...
First, I don’t completely disagree with your premise in a general sense…
However, I don’t think you can state it as an absolute (which part of your statement definitely does not… but then you do follow up and say “a Big 12 pass happy offense will never win.”)
Actually, I think your Arkansas example proves mbrown’s point exactly…
I’m an LSU fan (conveniently adopted them since my wife is a Tiger alum)…
The fact is that, although I always think LSU has the better, more dominant team, Arkansas almost always gives LSU fits…
Arkansas has beaten LSU 3 of the past 5 years in conference play!
I’m not so sure LSU would be quite as dominant if they had to play 4 or 5 such teams in conference every year a la the Big 12….

True, I was incorrect to say a passy happy offense will never win against them, but with the kind of defense Bama and LSU have displayed this year, all those players could probably at least make a roster on an NFL team after a complete collegiate career. All I’m trying to say is that if you’re a Big 12 offense against an SEC defense (such as LSU or Bama, not Ole Miss or Vandy), you better be as good as it gets and a lot of that starts with the talent level before coaching sets in. You have to have the speed and soft hands to keep up with those DBs, and huge linemen to keep off those monster D linemen and one of the most accurate QB’s you can get. Even then you still should have some form of running game.
It's the same 'ol over there

Speaking of TCU
I saw on a TCU blog that Craig James killed five hookers at SMU. Is that true?
After thinking about this one for a bit.
I would not be surprised to learn that this deal with TCU goes something like TTU to TCU, if you will help Glasgow get back on your staff we will pay his first year’s salary. (TTU kind of owe’s him the money anyway)
That could be a good compromise for TTU opposite the two year contract that we had with him. It also helps keep his career alive and looks like a good thing to do after having hired him away from his nest on the ground at TCU.
Living large in Texas...Texas forever.
