I like Traylor because he stayed at one school. Looking over Chads resume, he has moved every 2-3 years since he started. I know most pony fans hate Patterson, but I have a lot of respect for him since he has stayed at TCU. I think a lot of coaches would have better careers if they would just stay put.

There is no doubt about that. I has happened over & over in the private (real world) for years.

Not necessarily true. In the private world sometimes the only way you get promoted is to move to another company. Seen it happen too many times. Same with coaching. Traylor went from high, to college to another college which was SMU.

True if the employer doesn't value and invest in its key employee

why was Todd Dodge not successful? Couldn't hire good coaches, lack of funding and/or bad recruiting?

True and you might have several employees that are worthy of promotion and only one gets it. The others have to move on if they want to further their careers.

So did TCU not value and invest in its best employee, nor pay market rate? And shouldn't they have made a very public counter offer?

I think Del Conte will like Austin. I can see him and Mrs Del Conte flashing the hook em sign and singing The Eyes of Texas of Are Upon You

No chance. If SMU could have bought it's way into P5, it would have already happened
