OC Gordon Sammis to TCU

I think there was a pretty good chance he was going even if Mora stayed. And it is pretty likely that a new head coach is bringing in his own staff in any case. That is the nature of the business. We liked Geordie. He did a great job but the likelihood that he or the DC stayed in under the new coaching change was pretty minimal. Both went to bigger name programs which speaks to their value.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that Sammis could take over as head coach of the NY Giants and they would be instantly better than the last 4 clowns who have held that position.

With that ownership?... They would find a way to ruin him. Glad he's got a chance to ben OC at a solid big time program. Hoping his trajectory continues up.

I hope Candle succeeds wildly at UConn, but I really would prefer an OC. There aren't very many P4 programs that still have their HC do double duty as an OC or DC.

I agree. I want an actual OC.

Congrats to Coach Sammis! He did a hell of a job here and knew how to play to the team's offensive strengths. Good luck at TCU.

I want him to do whatever has made him successful so far.

He’s going to likely have a Co-OC and he calls the plays. He is very good at that, Ohio State has tried to hire him in that capacity several times.

Sammis was going to trade up whether Mora stayed or not.

Hard to know for sure unless you personally know Sammis but it seems the only way we could have kept him here was to make him our next head coach. Sammis had a great 4 years here and was moving on up in the world of college football coaches.

This era sucks, why wouldn't you wanna play and up your nil interests or even nfl interest by playing against USC. Skipping bowl games especially as a qb does not bode well for your future.

I don't care what agents say but skipping out on games will hurt qbs development. The wrong message is being sent. Is it any coincidence that a 44 year old Phillip Rivers was chosen as a replacement at qb and nearly beat the Seahawks btw.
 


“There is a familiarity with Robbins and new TCU offensive coordinator Gordon Sammis. Prior to arriving at Tulsa, Robbins served as quarterback coach and passing game coordinator in 2024 at UConn.

At UConn, Robbins coached Joe Fagnano, who threw 20 touchdowns and 1,631 yards. Fagnano was named the offensive MVP at the Wasabi Fenway Bowl.”

Our roster is not full of returning players who would be comfortable knowing they would be getting serious playing time at TCU. Murawski, definitely. Edwards and Chadwick and Cassidy -- maybe. But the competition for playing time at TCU is very different than at UConn.

I’d put Murawski in the maybe list too. Maybe back at G?

I agree, Casual Fans and certain agents are making the wrong call. People like hiring employees with good work ethic. Why that is such a novel concept is beyond me .
