Will Cumbie continue to call plays? Texas offered Sonny Cumbie its offensive coordinator position on Monday. But Cumbie elected to stay at TCU on Wednesday after two days to mull the offer, according to sources close to the situation.

Cumbie, who is TCU's co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, was Charlie Strong's main target in his search for an offensive coordinator. Strong and Cumbie met twice, once on Sunday in Fort Worth and then Monday in Austin, and the Longhorns had offered Cumbie a three-year guaranteed contract for more than $1 million per season.

"I want to thank Charlie Strong and everyone at the University of Texas for the opportunity to be the Offensive Coordinator there," Cumbie said in a statement. "It is a position that I have seriously considered and given much thought to. There are many factors that go into making decisions like this and after weighing them all, TCU is where my family and I want to stay."

Texas will now turn its search to Tulsa co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Sterlin Gilbert. Gilbert flew into Austin on Wednesday morning and interviewed with Strong, according to sources close to the situation. A native of San Angelo, Gilbert is a member of the Art Briles coaching tree having worked under Dino Babers and Philip Montgomery. Gilbert's Tulsa offense is known for its balanced spread attack.

If he had chosen Texas, Strong would have given Cumbie full control of the offense. This would have included play-calling responsibilities and the ability to hire at least two of his own offensive assistant coaches.

Considered one of the brightest young quarterbacks coaches in the country, Cumbie helped lead an offensive resurgence of the TCU offense the last two seasons along with his co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham. After finishing 88th in scoring offense in 2013, the Horned Frogs finished second nationally in 2014 and currently sit eighth this season.
