I would hang tight on that meeting until we play K-State.
If we lose to K-State which we should not, the first question I would ask Gary if I was ADJD is, "What can I do to help you win more games going forward?"
I remember 2004 when KFC head hunters were everywhere. SCREAMING for GP head, it was a tough season but it also came down to the last minute of the last game to finally end a bowl chance. I dont remember many coming back on here in 2005 to give much credit to a staff and players that were able to get things turned around after an SMU loss that was hard to explain. My wife and I were in the stands at BYU when they scraped Tye Gunn off the ground for the last time in his injury riddled career. We were down 18 and Jeff Ballard who sometimes had trouble hitting the ground with a pass came in and finished a year that was SO close to making history at this school.
I dont recall alot of bitching in 2014/15. There are problems today, some are the same issues that have been around for awhile and some are relatively new type for GP. At the end of the day all I can say is be careful what you wish for. The history b4 GP at TCU is not good. Regardless of what you think about this school, it will almost always be a “stop” in someones career unless you hired someone like LT as a coach. CDC showed how fast someone can leave, Danny Morrison, I liked, Hymen not so much, but they all left.
GP is in a tough spot, he does not like this anymore than the fans. He is loyal to his assistants, he has some tough decisions. His 20 years of loyalty to YOU, gives him the right to do some things he has never really had to do. All TCU fans wanted the Big12, the spotlight is brighter than MWC or CUSA. The OC issues have happened b4 and were dealt with. I am with LCF on this deal. Trust me, watching Les Miles totally and inexplicably screw the best team in LSU history against Alabama for a NC was tougher to do because Les Miles did the samething game after game after that season. I knew he was done in New Orleans. I dont feel that way for GP.
Be very careful, does not matter who the coach is, under the current TV deals, there are alot of 1100/1430 games in Sept. It took awhile to get to this point and I expect another “fight” with conf alignment/pay for players coming that creates issues not seen in awhile. GP is not stupid, he deserves our support, big names and big bucks dont ensure success. Look at A&M for proof, in addition, a resume that includes a NC with Saban does not ensure success, Jim Mc and Pruitt have found that out. Dont jump,.......yet.
