He was always going to end up back in the college game. Figured it wouldn’t be this quickly though. Edited November 28, 20223 yr by Hookem2147

Maybe the allure of being a member of the coaching staff of the reigning Super Bowl champs?? Things would have been quite different for Samples if he chose to stay in Fort Worth instead of going Hollywood.

It’s a no brainer to go coach under McVay and learn his system, and it’s not like Samples will be hurting for a job in college when he goes back. He can easily find a position coach job at a better school than TCU whenever he wants.Â

As other posters have correctly pointed out, Sample's biggest flaw was he actually needed to grow coaching chops. There was no better opportunity to do so than to head the the NFL and learn under a good coach, where he can eat and breathe coaching full time without any other outside responsibilities like recruiting. Plus, you think saying he coached in the NFL at his age won't help his recruiting any further? Edited November 28, 20223 yr by SydneyCarton posters, not coaches

McVay already has 4 dudes from his coaching tree as NFL coaches. what's to lose? best case he climbs the coaching tree at the NFL level, spends enough time to get his NFL coaching pension and never has to recruit some dumbass 17 year old again. worst case is he has to go back and be a position coach for a NCAA team at a better job than TCU. as a reminder the RB coach at Texas A&M is Tommie Robinson. Samples is an upgrade over Robinson in basically every way. who is the RB coach at OU? DeMarco Murray lol. would assume he would be in the mix for Nebraska if he wanted to.  Â
November 28, 20223 yr Looking like Samples, and M. Kelly are top picks for WR coach. I’d definitely pregame Samples there. His instant recruiting impact would be huge.  Roof is gone, but I haven’t heard any names on a replacement. Edited November 28, 20223 yr by Constant

November 29, 20223 yr Kelly would be the better hire, so I hope y'all end up with Samples. Aggie people on twitters have said that they are trying to hire Samples as well. Will be interesting to follow.

People really enjoy blaming coaches for player’s mistakes. L. Washington did a fine job this year. He should be proud. The WR group has to take it upon themselves to go make a fucking play. Bottom line. Not a coach in the country thats going to help you get open on 3rd and 7 and make the catch. Its on you.Â

I'm sure he's just laying low for the time being (as he probably should as to not draw excess attention to himself).

Well, most coaches worth a shit already have jobs at that point. It was in fucking August man. So you're running camp and either trying to find a good but likely retired guy you think you can lure back long term, or a 1 year rental worth a shit. Which is hard.Â
