TCU season on the brink of missing a bowl as Kendal Briles’ offense can’t score

By Big Steaming Pile

TCU head coach Sonny Dykes spent a lot of capital to hire Kendal Briles, and the first six games of this relationship has produced losses, turnovers, and not many points.

After six games, TCU is not a good team. What went down in middle America on Saturday night confirmed as much.

TCU traveled to Iowa State on Saturday to reverse what was starting to feel like a lost season. Iowa State was just 2-3, and a decent team should kick around the Cyclones.

Why is Briles at TCU? Should he be in Italy with his lowlife daddy?​

"Riley went to Clemson, and Dykes hired Briles. Thus far his offense has devolved from frustrating, to promising, to downright bad; a parade of turnovers and punts."

A tempo offense that can’t score is the deepest of holes.
Maximize our opponent’s time of possession, while our offense self destructs.

^^^THIS…THIS EXACTLY^^^
If your offense is going to play like [ Finebaum ], do it slowly, and give your defense a break.

I don’t think they are at the brink. At this point it would take an outright miracle. It’s basically a foregone conclusion, absent miraculous changes.

Hiring Briles was a huge mistake. He's taken a core of good players and turned them into disorganized garbage in one year. Mostly the offense, especially the O-line runs around like a bunch of pussies on every play.

Crazy that Riley has devolved into the same exact thing. 17 points on Wake Forest…geez.

This is how I feel about fast paces. Too many assume that fast pace = explosive offense that scores points. But on the flipside, a faster pace just means that [ Finebaum ] unravels quicker when its not working. A quicker pace means things go wrong quicker if not executed properly.

Reminds me of when DePaul basketball a few years ago was on social media bragging about how they had the #1 fastest tempo in the nation - and were 0-12 in the Big East.

A triple option offense when working is a thing of beauty, but when its not it looks absolutely helpless. A fast tempo offense is the same way - but I'd wager a failed tempo offense is worse because at least a failed triple option offense milks more clock and keeps the defense off the field for longer.

I suspect a sinister plot by Art Briles is in play here to sabotage the TCU Football program via his son.

Clemson has hardly been a party so-far this season. Wake, with a little extra, could have taken them down yesterday.

His coach Father has been a number of places since Italy

Cowboys could have used this philosophy tonight also, lol.
