Seems like he's the man. Hell of a hire! Wonder how long he'll stick around if he get head coaching offers after next season?

TCU co-OC Doug Meacham turned down offer to become coach at Texas State, source told @ESPN. Sides couldn’t reach financial agreement

And damn I wanted him as HC. He'll get more money as A&M's OC and potential P5 HC job after next season.

I always figured it would be Cumbie to leave first for another OC job since Meachum seems to be the more recognizable of the two. Move like this will likely raise both of their profiles tho

Smart move by Meachum turning down the Texas state job too. its better to be still in the spotlight at a major program as OC than it is to get lost in the shuffle as a lower tier head coach.

If Meacham is coming it will be a nice promotion too for Cumbie, getting to run the show and call plays on his own.

Absolutely. Not saying this means he's for sure coming to A&M, but it's definitely better to be a P5 OC, if you are a good OC that'll stand out, than it is to be a HC at an invisible school like SWT.

I've been told Doug Meacham fresh off of turning down #TXST is going to take the OC job at #TAMU. Announcement could come by Friday

TCUs 247 guy

Bunch of stuff out there, what I can say on my end is that I've had at least one person I trust that he's heard Meacham has accepted the job at A&M.

Now, I would also like to add that I trust this source very, very .much. But, I am still cautious with saying Meacham is 100% gone.

What I can say is Luper is not going anywhere as some reports have mentioned. If Meacham leaves, Luper would likely get promoted to Co-OC. He is already an Associate Head Coach.

Once I get something more concrete regarding Meacham, I'll pass it along.
