If I were Gary...

[wes]

I’d dump the entire offensive staff and start over

The scheme sucks. Receivers cannot get separation. The O-line should be playing better as a unit by the 11th game

It’s a bad year but most of our injuries have occurred on defense, not offense yet the defense plays hard every down and keeps us in the game as long as they can.

Shake it up Gary. You’re paid too much to let all this down

Dump them and start a new “business affair”? Hahah

Whatever it takes

Retire

Retire?

Just stop it. Now, go take a lap.

 

[Froginbedford]

Retire?

Got flamed here a couple of weeks ago for using the "r" word....But my statement was that "r" was the only graceful way out...all the criticism from both sides...the player behavior problems...being retained...being fired...nothing graceful in those scenarios....Be careful of your vocabulary...my screen is still smoking from the pushback...even told to never post again....

 

[wes]

Retire

He’s not ready for that and I’d hate to see him end a great career on a down note like this.

He needs to make some corrections and has in the past so I am hopeful he will this time

 

[BABYFACE]

GP has one bad season and you want him to retire? Seriously, that is crazy talk. How does one even justify it based on all the success he has had at TCU? If he has three bad seasons in a row, then this discussion is appropriate at that point.

12 was bad, 13 bad, 16 bad, 18 bad, and he isn’t getting any younger, look it’s been a great run, he gets another year if he wants it of course, I am saying there might be someone else on the face of the planet better to lead this program into the future

 

[Frogs1983]

He needs to stop being so damn stubborn, and loyal.Needs a complete overhaul.A total fresh start!

 

[froglash88]

It’s one year!!! Stupid posts are stupid.

!!!In Gary We Trust!!!

 

[CountryFrog]

Isn't the new QB supposed to change everything?

 

[Bizarro Frog]

One of the many things that is disappointing is that after taking about 15 WR/ Athletes every year in recruiting we have no one that can catch a kick off and or if they do get the ball to the 20 since Turpin got booted.

It’s not time for him to go and if he did, who would replace him and yield better results?

He’ll do what he has to do

I wouldn't make drastic changes. I'd start by recognizing with the injuries, suspensions, and inexperienced offensive line, this was going to be a tough season. The key will be with figuring out how to get the mojo back. Turning over a new leaf with all new coaches is a good thing when you have a bad year, but it can also set you back. I'd encourage some changes, but probably keep Cumbie. He has a track record that probably should be acknowledged. Making some assistant coach changes seems reasonable to turn over a new leaf.

 

[TCUownstheBig12]

Since joining the Big 12, there have been more “bad” years than good years now.

But the good years have been really good.

Tell me more about Cumbies track record..He is now in his second year of play calling in his entire career. The track seems awfully small

 

[Limey Frog]

If you were Lincoln Riley you would.

If you were Gary, you'd move everyone to a different position group and hope they magically figure out how to coach.

Gary's staff is an interesting case study in what happens when no one ever leaves your organization unless they get hired away on account of their ability and competence. He now appears to be a kind-hearted defensive genius surrounded by vastly less capable hangers-on.

 

[PO Frog]

Besides Cross, Glasgow, and Schultz (lol) getting hired into a promotion, I can’t think of a ton of coaches that have gone on to better jobs. And none that I can think of that have gone on to success. Fuente I guess would be the exception.
