I think, without having real knowledge, that Gary has likely received many DC offers. It likely does affect his ego and pisses him off. But the reality is, in today’s college football, it’s where he fits.
They should have made him a jpg.TCU canned him. They made him png. Houston should have hired him. Baylor probably will. I still think the genius’s that fired him should be horse whipped.
GP and TCU had a tiff.They should have made him a jpg.
pretty close to correct in theory. Gary has been called on a few with but not the conference, location, and potential where he might be considered to move into a HC job. To put it differently, a back door into the position of head coach. If you can't get in through the front door, you'll try the back door approach. They came close to firing Aranda this past season and, just maybe, Gary thought of that when he accepted the senior consultant job at Baylor. Sometimes in life things just turn differently on that day, and you say to yourself, this may be my chance! I'm gonna jump on this and let it play out. Regardless of what you may think of Baylor, it's a good school and Waco has grown up a lot. I'm totally competitive with Baylor in sports, but not the school.I think, without having real knowledge, that Gary has likely received many DC offers.

Also Justin Fuente.Agree with some of this but I really really wonder how he would’ve done had Bumpas not been with him for most of those years.
Yep and it had been smouldering for some time. We were not headed in the right direction with the smashing changes happening to college football. Employers know that too!!!GP and TCU had a tiff.
Boy oh boy, many of us have a love-hate relationship with Gary. Love him for what he accomplished and disappointed in him for fouling up that relationship.
Both equally grossThe outrage at Gary going to Baylor after we hired Briles is...rich.
100%. Again, people, the statue is a monument to a period of time that is entirely past. Yes, the man is still alive, but the reasons for the statue are not under continual active review. He could drive a Sherman tank into the main quad, drop trouser and take a dump on the grass, then go up to the Chancellor's office and punch V-Bo in the face before hunting down Superfrog with a flamethrower and the statue shouldn't be taken down.Like it or not, GP rebuilt TCU football, won the Rose Bowl, which got ACS rebuilt, which helped get TCU into the Big 12. If he hadn't come along, where would TCU be now?
I remember coming to TCU games in the early 80s, it was pitiful. Nobody cared, TCU never went to bowl games.
So when I get down about the TCU football program, I just think about where TCU was and where we are now. If GP wants to go help another program even BAILURE, so be it. He has that right. It doesn't bother me one bit. TCU fans are spoiled and have a short memory. They should remember who got them to where they are today and be grateful we are NOT SMU.
I take unbridged at that. How dare you?Fan message board posters are a thin skinned lot.

Yikes. He mustn't feel good about his chances of salvaging Baylor if he's looking at UCLA as a good move. That program will be a disaster in the Big Ten.So today I see an article linking interest in DA at UCLA revolving door. Should that happen anyone else think Baylor might have “other plans” with GP?

Nobody ASCII you.They should have made him a jpg.
If Gary is now selecting schools to back door his way into replacing the head coach that is hiring him, that is such a small and petty line of thinking if you ask me.pretty close to correct in theory.
