I will make this concise, and to the point. I know that many of you think I am daft and inferior because i am not rolling around in our 2011 rose bowl title, or our 2017 Alamo Bowl championship. I am a realist, and a true fan of the team.
1) Play our young talent. Did you see Clemson tonight? I mean it was absolutely unreal. i am not sitting up here and claiming that we are bringing in 8 star recievers like Clemson, but we have some guys on our team who's redshirts we blew, for no reason, who did not even get snaps. Thank god we got Jarrison Stewart and Jaelan austin some reps though. We have proven a consistent inability to develop our talent at WR, so i do not understand why JS and TH did not play late in the year, or in the Cheez It bowl, which is the site where JS jr. RS was blown, on a special teams play. Not even at wideout.
2) Overhaul the offensive staff. I do not know how they are still employed by TCU. I really do not. Nothing has showed me that Cumbie, Burns, Anderson deserve to be employed here. The product that they were responsible for was nothing short of horrendous. there is nothing else to say about it. From the lack of getting the ball in our best players' hands, to the sheer stupidity of some of the calls. I have never seen a worse offensively coached unit, in my entire life. If i skip another wedding to watch us 3 hop a 10 yard dig route to Jarrison stewart, my wife may kill me.
3)Find a staff that can and has catered to talent before. As you can see in many of our other posts, we have an absurd amount of churn in our program from a personnel standpoint. I believe this is because we do not cater to the talent we have. We have prided ourselves on being little old TCU with LHCGP. Okay, that worked well for a while, no one is doubting that. Now we are in the top 30 in recruiting every single year, and have absolutely nothing to show for it. 2014 changed us forever. We were so unbelievably filthy. We got recruits because of that, but our coaching staff remains the same for the skill positions as it was in 2004.
4) Hold people accountable. No one is held accountable in this program. every loss, and every win, is eventually twisted in some contortion of our past. We need to move forward. Stop giving hall passes to people because we won a rose bowl 8 years ago. It is absolutely egregious. people always talk about CFB on this website as a business. Have you ever seen a program in your life with 3 years of continuous offensive struggle that does not make a change? Gary is an absolutely unbelievable defensive mind. There is no question. What he did with us this year the last 6 games was nothing short of brilliance. Can you imagine what would happen if we held our offensive staff accountable and made changes? I could not. Gary is paid 4,000,000 a year by TCU. He has been quoted as saying he wont walk over to the offensive side of the ball. If Lincoln riley was over there developing our offense, it would be a different story, but he is not. Walk across the practice field and hold people to a standard. The word "standard" is missing from this program.
What I saw tonight and every time I watch Clemson is a disciplined, hard working group of young men who come together on the field and play their hardest for 60 minutes every Saturday. What else i see is a coaching staff that is committed, responsible and aggressive.
This is the Big 12. It is 2019, not 2011. Stop deflecting everything back to prior success. The time to take a step forward as a national contender is now. Stop the complacency. Stop the complacency. Lets hold people accountable, set standards, move forward as a fanbase, and win some games next year.
