    The Edge reporting from sources that Sonny Cumbie will changing Tech's...from Texas Tech to Louisiana Tech.

    Quick check shows that his 2021 salary in Lubbock was $875K. So the rumored $1M salary would be right at what he was making at TCU in 2020 before taking a pay cut to go back to Texas Tech.

    You might want to get familiar with Sonny Cumbie.

    John Grass may be a fall back.

    I like Cumbie. Just say know to recently fired FCS coaches.

    Know your homonyms.

    I don't want to get to know recently fired FCS coaches. I want to just say no.

    Back on topic, I say YES to Cumbie. He is from the right mold.

    I don't know him personally although we've spoken a couple of times, I've probably had a couple more conversations with his wife than with him. Our kids went to pre-school together and were buddies when he was at TCU. I think my wife taught his older son. Seems like a good dude. Good coaching tree. Will be a good fit in Ruston. Have to assume he'd want to go back to his Air Raid roots (even though under Patterson and Wells defense was the main show).

    I'd be happy with this one.

    I was happy for them when it was announced that he'd get to stay on at the other Tech, but I had also assumed that meant he'd stay there.

With what was supposed to be a top 10 team. How will that go for them when 6-7 games a year are that tough?
    I'm sure OU will be fine. Texas loss to Kansas at home, and the arrogant fans still think people should bow to them. Both teams have moved ahead of LSU in be wanting them to lose.

    I read that his wife has a doctorate in Marriage and Family Counseling, which might seem irrelevant but I don't think so. A significant aspect of that type of counseling is understanding systems and how they interact. It could be very helpful in terms of how he operates.
    Have you considered those Dogs?

    Yep. That's why Lincoln Riley is getting out while he still has some street value.

    Going to the SEC where they both will be middle of the pack teams is the perfect way to end all your actual historic rivalries in Texas, the SWC, and the Big-12. I’ve talked to actual alums from Texas. Not one of them thought this was a good move. In the Big-12, Texas was the premiere school. In the SEC, they aren’t even close to the top.

    I hope the SEC becomes too big and unwieldy for its own good. They think they are the NCAA and they are riding the high horse now. Bringing them down a few notches is what college athletics needs.
    It could be argued that ESPN and Texas caused it by creating the Longhorn Network.

    Akron seems to be punching above their weight in what they've got lined up for next HC.

    Well how far down the rabbit hole you want to go? I'd submit that the LHN was inspired by ND's deal with NBC 20 years prior. Which had in turn arose from the CFA-NCAA tv disputes in the 1980s. Which had itself come about from the NCAA's original decision to claim the media rights for all its members going back to the dawn of television.

    We didnt start the fire ...

    This might be a good site to follow to see who Cumbie hires for his staff: https://footballscoop.com/news/louis...racker-2021-22 I am guessing it is unlikely many (if any) of Holtz's staff will stay. John Allen is going to UConn to be on Jim Mora's staff.
