To get more from TCU or a school recruiting him as HC?

Just wondering.

I still think he is coming. I dont base this on any super secret knowledge.

I mentioned in another thread, the TCU 247 board has insiders posts. You cant read them, but you can see the titles. On Friday, a post was "Briles announcement", followed quickly by another thread "New OC candidates".

Granted, its a message board, but they've been assuming its a done deal since friday. How much weight do you put on message board insiders though.

So help me, if we end up with Furry after this.

Beamer is looking hard for an OC. But looking isn’t getting. I do think he’ll go outside the current staff. Let’s see how it plays out.

Seems like to me Briles at this point is just using Carolina’s interests to get more money/go for another job. Looks like Beamer is being played like a fiddle.

Time will tell. Another day or two without concrete news and I'd imagine Shane's moving to plan B.

As I've said before, word travels around the coaching fraternity. Yes, he could be playing us, never intending to come here. TCU wants him gone. Is anyone else wanting Briles? If so, who is our competition?

THere's been no official word yet, so it is still possible he is using us. It would be the most Gamecock thing that could happen.

Yeah but in the same type of language that lacks certainty. There was a point in this cycle where Alex Golesh to Arkansas was a done deal. Now he’s Auburn’s coach.
Golesh to Arkansas was never reported as done (that I can recall). Just that it seemed likely.

Kinda like this Briles thing, but not to the same extent, there was enough chatter that it seemed real. Practically all outlets expect Briles to be named but we’re re still short of it being said definitively. Just not ready to react to anything that isn’t solid yet

I bet Briles is negotiating a "head coach in waiting" status.

BOT meeting Thursday morning at 9. I'm guessing there will be an announcement following on new hires.

I don't know if the is doing that, but if he is not coming here, then I see no reason to retain Beamer. No serious OC is coming here when the coach is on the hot seat.
