Cumbie is in Austin

[Mike Roach]

Per a report from Orangebloods.com Anwar Richardson, Cumbie arrived today for a second face to face meeting with Charlie Strong.  As reported by multiple outlets, Strong flew to Ft Worth last night and met with the TCU Co-Offensive Coordinator.  This looks like good news as the talks are still ongoing between Texas and Cumbie.  It's not clear when a decision is expected, but when a coach makes a visit to tour it's safe to say things are progressing nicely.  I'm sure Texas would love to nail down a deal before Cumbie returns to the metroplex so that they can start moving forward with other personnel decisions.  Recruiting is also important for the offensive commitments because the dead period is a week away.  Texas has to get this done and get their coach in front of major targets like Shane Buechele to ease any worries they might have about their offensive futures.  I'd expect something to be wrapped up in the next 24 hours based on experience from other coaching searches.  Either way this is great news for Texas because I believe Sonny Cumbie is an absolute star both on the field and the recruiting trail.

I'm so god-damned excited about the possibility of having this completed well in advance of this weekends Official visits.  This could be huge for Offensive recruiting.

I think Shane is still a lock for us but I love that Strong isn't treating the situation like that.

You are right! We can't take anything for granted
If Im Shane B. I would be very excited about Cumbie

I like that we have Gilbert as a backup if Cumbie does not come here. In some ways Gilbert fits the system better, but Cumbie has the QB coaching that is also needed. As long as we get one of these guys I will be happy.

Ok boys, just got off the phone with a friend. This is not the same one that I spoke with on Nov. 1. This guy is connected on the Cumbie side of things.

Cumbie is a done deal. Told me it has been for a while.

RB coach at Tech is coming with Cumbie.

OL coach at Az St is coming with Cumbie.
