^^^^Glasgow should be a good defensive coordinator. He's been on TCU's defensive coaching staff for many years and would probably be hired as a DC soon anyway so I'm glad Tech got him. As you probably already know, TCU had the number one defense in the country this past season.
I think they've been #1 for the past three years. We got a good one, it appears.
^^^That's interesting. I've only seen Doege take a few snaps and I haven't seen the other two QB's in action at all. I've heard some good things about Karam and Young so it'll be interesting to see if Doege keeps that lead.
I saw Karam at last year's Red/Black game and on a webcast of the Weber State game. He looked pretty good at the first event, but didn't seem to do as well in the November game. It could have been nerves and/or rust, though.
Hopefully he and Young can have a good spring, so that it pushes the competition to a higher level.
He had been the University of Miami's athletic director since 2008.
That should be a good hire, so far I've read a lot of good things about Hocutt. Since he's a native Texan and wants to be closer to family in this state, he'll probably stay here longer than he did in Miami.
They just finished Hocutt's introductory press conference. Some points:
He's a native of San Antonio, but moved to Sherman (north of Dallas) at an early age.
He played football at Kansas State.
He was asked to do some things at Miami before getting to Tech full time, probably by the end of the month.
He mentioned the work of Myers and how the facilities are top-notch (over $200 million in investment since 1996), and how he's welcome any time. (I agree with his assessment of Myers. He and Montford among many others really got the ball rolling with regard to success in Lubbock.)

That's good to hear. I haven't always agreed with Gerald Myers decisions over the years but I believe he has always tried to do what's in the best interest of Tech's athletic programs and I believe that he has done far more good things than bad. I wish Gerald Myers nothing but the best in his retirement.
I'll be headed up to the Red/Black game, then try to eat, and then head over to the baseball game vs. NU.
Hopefully the QB competition will be fierce. I just saw a video on the front page of the ESPN college football section that had an interview with Doege. It got me jazzed up for Sat. He mentioned Sonny Cumbie and the TCU game in 2004 (good year BTW--also stomped Nebraska 70-10 and then upset Aaron Rodgers and the #4 Cal Bears in the Holiday Bowl.)
About 15,000 (my estimate) showed up this year. Under clear blue skies with temperatures in the 60's and 70's, the team played itself magnificently.
Well, maybe the offense played okay. The D still needs a lot of work, and Chad Glasgow, the new coordinator, said as much.
QB Seth Doege was the clear leader at that position, and RB Eric Stephens may have been the overall MVP. The new guys at receiver like Marcus Kennard and Aaron Fisher should do well this year, and I like what I'm seeing out of running back Ronnie Daniels.
The defense wasn't completely chopped liver, as there were a lot of passes broken up and some picks.
Donnie Carona at kicker did pretty well, but punter Ryan Erxleben seemed to struggle.
Tech baseball won!
