Gameday Thread: TCU at Oklahoma, The Last One (Nov 24, 2023; 11AM)

Idea alert: Run with the WR before he is past you.

I posted the following after the Colorado game and now here again—

Gillespie’s prior college experience was a linebacker coach at Tulsa before becoming its coordinator for three seasons. Before that, only at Stephenville, and that is a shallow resume.

That is on Sonny - could he not find a more experienced man to take the DC job, sheesh. Was this a familiar friendly hire - the Stephenville connection. The Gillespie resume makes TCU look junior league, not capable of bringing in the more proven and instead having to take a chance on a familiar wildcard.

I think @Gary's Shirtless Revenge stated Gillespie was not Dykes’ first choice when hired.

Gillespie’s experience

1995–2007	Stephenville High School(Assistant)
2008–2014	Stephenville High School
2015–2018	Tulsa (LB)
2019–2021	Tulsa (DC/LB)
2022–present	TCU (DC/LB)

Drop Gillespie off at Tulsa on the way back.

Make him walk to Tulsa.

Someone remind Venebles we let up in the 2nd half last year.

QB has all day to throw. All day long.

 

[Froggy Style]

Prevent alert.

His only experience in college ball was at ONE G5 school, Tulsa, with one DC. it is as shallow as it gets - one school experience, at G5!

Find someone who has been around other programs and coaches for a knowledge base of experience.

Art Briles got the HEAD COACH job at Houston after being at Tech for three years as a position coach. Before that all HS. Lincoln Riley and Garrett Riley had pretty thin resumes. They were both 32 years old when they became G5 coordinators. Those are three just off the top of my head without doing much research.

Thank God I’m not there.

Throwing deep on 1sr down??

Knock that QB out of the game

I don’t fault them. Trying to roll up the CFP ratings to possibly improve their NY6 bowl slot.

If we don’t like it we should actually try and defend it for once

Ha…announcers saying TCU can score points in bunches

Heading to the gym. We need new coaches…

 

[Dogfrog]

What is Georgia’s ”excuse”?

4 deep in 5 stars.

Drop Gillespie off at Tulsa on the way back.

Not exactly on the way, but I wouldn't be opposed.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Running it up the middle isn't there with this line, need to run counters or off tackle.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Like that

Good for them and their success. But that doesn’t change my point - the fact that Gillespie's experience was with one G5 school under one DC. And it has not worked for TCU and Dykes.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Woo hoo!

 

[TxFrog1999]

Yay.

 

[AroundWorldFrog]

Finally

 

[Big Frog II]

Nice drive. Sadly we have to go back on defense.

Nice block by John Lanz there to spring Bailey.
