Solid insight, thank you. Goes with most of what I guessed. Davis, Flood, Banks, and PK/Choate really seem to be the keys to me. It has really hurt us shifting DC's (entire staffs) every few years. Y2 under PK - Ford and others really progressed. Y3 for Ford should be a treat to watch. Learning and recruiting towards a specific system is huge imo. Hoping we retain the nucleus of this staff for years.
@texifornia, I'll give you I forgot LT but anyone screaming that Dalton is memorable or anything but maybe approaching average is crazy. His career QBR etc shows average to below average. Yes, he somehow got a few pro bowls early in his career with a 50ish QBR. Outside the state of Texas and I bet 50% or more in the state of Texas, TCU is a complete unknown geographically or for anything to most sports fans. UT, USC - different story.
Davey O'Brien? Yep, he went to TCU spent most of his career as a back-up until his senior year (a good year). Spent 2 years iirc in the NFL all sometime in the late 1930's. A foundation awards a trophy with his name on it. Puts TCU on the map ... totally. Maybe Duggan will.
I'm not against the school, it's probably a decent college. But a talented football athlete that can choose between UT, USC, TCU - there's one in that list that doesn't belong. But you do you and proclaim the TCU might and that people even know where it is (they don't), their huge NFL HOF list and roster of players, etc. They don't belong in the same conversation as UT or USC for football by any known metric.
I did think Milwee had some type of OC/co-OC title for pay reasons, my bad on that.
