You mean there weren't at least a dozen guys out there Not Named Briles who can coach and call an offense that likes to run the ball? Maybe more? No, Sonny knew who he wanted, and he was rushed through as quick as they could. He knew what he was doing.think you are way off base as to why sonny wants to hire kendall, but each to their own
as to the issue that "current" tcu leadership has tossed aside the institutions integrity with THIS hire, that is naive to me as winning has glossed over things that have happened in the last decade or so but again, each to their own

I saw your reply to VD, and in all of those examples the public knew about them fairly quickly. There was no cover-up. There was no coercion of student victims or witnesses, or threatening of Faculty or Staff.
you haven't been paying too much attention to some of the kids tcu has brought in or tried to bring, specifically since joining the big 12
some grade risks, one kid who was suspended and thrown off his high school team, a transfer with a very interesting back story in light of the reaction to the briles' hiring
plus the things that were public such as a law suit by a player about claims how an injury was treated which was just a few years after an incident in view during a game between a coach and a medical staff member
hmm...then there were 4 players in the "drug sting", casey's transcript released, casey's dui, the fields issueS, the boykin incident at the bowl which i am certain is that only time that every happened while he was a frog, the turpin incidents.............yep, things have completely gone to win at all costs with the hire of sonny dykes
Will probably keep mine if they don't jack the rates up a lot. Not sure I will attend games though until Briles is gone. Most likely just post them on stubhub to cover the costs until I attend again. Will have to do some real research (not message boards) before season begins.Please double down on your intentions to quit the program and then post your football seat locations so we can all see what upgrade options are coming open this next go round. EXCITING TIMES FOR MANY!!!
Players on campuses has always been that way. It is how you deal with them if they don't mature.
Drug sting players all kicked out by TCU
Casey forced into rehab and not playing until better. ended up hurting his career to get the help.
Fields kicked out and not brought back even after charges dropped
Boykin missed the biggest game of his career, and TCU played with a backup with little experience.
On the other hand
Baylor had a player given a degree and admitted to graduate school while in trial, and only removed after convicted.
Another player was allowed to stay in class with a female soccer player victim (against proper protocol to remove) until she left Baylor.
My reply to VD would probably be some antibiotics.I saw your reply to VD, and in all of those examples the public knew about them fairly quickly. There was no cover-up. There was no coercion of student victims or witnesses, or threatening of Faculty or Staff.
This is because time has shown us that there were no other candidates. Only Briles. Again, Sonny knew precisely what he was doing, and the timing couldn't have been more cynical and opportunistic.first, the point you are now making about the hiring of briles is not what you said in the other paragraph, you know that, and no one has said otherwise
Everybody with any shred of sense knew it was going to be KB as soon as we lost Riley. They would have had to get an overture from a total wildcard like Coach Bro for there to be any other possibility. It’s our system, our staffs prior relationships and the candidates ultimate desire to come back to Texas that made it the obvious hire to everyone. It’s no different than when Gary was fired and anybody with a brain knew it was 90% going to be Sonny. Time will tell if it’s the right hire. I’m betting time will judge this a great hire.This is because time has shown us that there were no other candidates. Only Briles.

And, yes. I am holding this primarily against Sonny. Seemingly everyone has a blind spot concerning him now.
Im laughing my ass off with this one!!And what does this say about the type of player SD is willing to bring in? I honestly don't know enough about the type of player he recruited at his past stops, but this hire tells me he won't have the same standards we're used to with GP. (I recognize we've had our problems, but there was at least an appearance of morality.)
Seems to me that we've entered a "win at all costs" phase. This could bring in a bunch of t-shirt fans if the winning keeps on, but it's sure to drive away some loyals regardless of the results--or at least decrease their passion and spending. It's a high risk situation. Hope ADJD has run the numbers.
What are the collective thoughts on Gary and his sex jetting to Vegas? Or is that the kind of morals we can deal with?And what does this say about the type of player SD is willing to bring in?

The fact that, in one year, he brought in an entire staff and led us to the best season in 90 years?? Yeah, maybe why we give him the benefit of the doubt.This is because time has shown us that there were no other candidates. Only Briles.

Cynical and opportunistic? Define blind spot. I am admittedly short on information so looking for facts as to why some feel so strongly against this hire (aside from KB came from Baylor our arch rival)This is because time has shown us that there were no other candidates. Only Briles. Again, Sonny knew precisely what he was doing, and the timing couldn't have been more cynical and opportunistic.

Baylor [ Finebaum ] notwithstanding, I think this may be the single best hire we could have made. I realize that comes across a bit like the “but other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln” joke, but he’s a great offensive mind who runs an offense Sonny likes and that we know can kick the [ Finebaum ] out of this conference, and he will fit right in with the current staff as seamlessly as possible.Everybody with any shred of sense knew it was going to be KB as soon as we lost Riley.

Too much logic. We need more mindless outrage!Baylor [ Finebaum ] notwithstanding, I think this may be the single best hire we could have made.

Don’t you worry…Too much logic. We need more mindless outrage!

Why don’t you ask ADJD since the several of the guys on those flights are some of his best friends…What are the collective thoughts on Gary and his sex jetting to Vegas? Or is that the kind of morals we can deal with?
