I don’t want to hear “But he’s a really good recruiter!” Our offensive staff is awful. This is the most poorly coached unit in my time around TCU football and it’s not close. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Charlie Strong lost his job for losing to Kansas. Time for us to do some housekeeping of our own. Just embarrassing.

I would fire Anderson first, followed every so shortly by Cumbie.
It is a disaster and I really don’t think it’s the players fault. This is poor coaching and poorer play calling.

Our HC/DC reminds me in some ways of Abe Martin just before he retired.

We need a defensive line coach and linebacker coach. Gary Patterson needs a experienced defensive coach to help him like Bumpas.
The D hasn’t been great, but it’s impossible to win when the offense commits more turnovers than any other team in the nation. Time to clean house.

It's a debacle right now. GP's refusal to get rid of people has always been the achilles heel of this program. Anderson's offense was so bad when he ran the unit, but he was just reassigned. Cumbie and Meach seemed to turn things around, but it seems clear now that this was more Tre/Doctson's greatness than their coaching. We've done nothing without those two; right now we're doing worse than nothing. As the OP noted, recruiting is secondary. TCU's revival was built on fundamentals coached consistently well to a team made up of unfancied recruits.
Praising coaches for being "good recruiters" while your team shamelessly wastes talent with obviously poor preparation = Aggy. That's what we are right now: off-brand Aggy.

If GP wont get rid of some coaches, then he should face the same fate that other head coaches have.

Running back coach is missing a lot. DA still wont carry the ball correctly. Whipping it around in his arm down low, not securing it.

Really? One year removed from double digit wins and people want to tear it all up?

In defense of the D..... no Ross, no Innis, no Ty, Gladney clearly not 100 percent...... doesn’t excuse the loss, just pointing it out.

I was talking to a client about that very thing just the other day.

You could also look at it as three years of the last six we've absolutely sucked. 2013, 2016, and now 2018. All the money we spend on coaches and facilities, and every year we have a 50/50 shot of being excruciatingly bad. Something's going wrong, no?

Here’s a little fun fact for you...
The last time Kansas beat us, Hanson’s “Mmmbop” was near the top of the billboard charts.

Dude, this team looks bad. Soft bad. Running backs wont play hard the whole game and are afraid to hit the hole. One cant seem to carry the ball correctly. Defense has not tackled well the past few years. And our strength and conditioning coach is missing it for core and leg work that helps stabilize knees and ankles, so our injury list is a frickin phonebook by mid season.
