It all starts at the top...

I would have a really hard time genuinely blaming our seemingly sharp decline in athletic performance across the board on ADJD, despite how uncanny the timing of our decline has been.

BUT it is really hard for me imagine any other top tier athletic program with the resources, reputation, and goal of winning championships like we claim to have hiring someone as young and inexperienced as Donati. He has no skins on the wall.

I get why we hired him. In our mind, we had the holy grail of coaches for our 3 main men sports and TCU didn't want to rock the boat. But as our programs continue to struggle and our athletic marketing seems to be getting cheesier and cheesier, it just makes me very uneasy knowing we don't have a season vet running things.

Your idiocy is prolific.

Yes, the three coaches suddenly just quit coaching because JD was hired. They said “well this kid doesn’t have any skins on the wall (your dumbass words) so let’s just scheiss off and wreck our programs.” You, maniac, seriously think you are informed into the inner workings of the program yet, in reality, you are just a spoiled, entitled little brat that can’t handle when things don’t go your way. It’s apparent your entire life is validated by whether TCU wins or loses. That’s quite pathetic. Grow the scheiss up. This program is way over your head.

Don’t like it? I don’t care.

I look forward to your whiny response.

I can’t say I blame your world view. It is very indicative of younger people that only know what they’ve experienced. Kind of like the millennials and gen xerox that are all in on AOC type of socialistic banter. They simply didn’t live through the time when socialism ravaged much of the world to their detriment (and know I am not saying you subscribe to socialism). But you do seem to base your perception of reality on what you’ve experienced. To you TCU football is success. When in reality that has only been a thing since 1999. Many of us have a very different perception of our history. We had some success in the 20s and 30s. We were pretty good in the 50s. The 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s were disasters. So GP has reigned over the longest stretch of success that is unmatched in our history.

And I am not even sure we would be considered a “top tier” athletic program by very many. Almost all of those are large state schools with much more resources, better reps and many more championships than we have. Other than Notre Dame and USC there aren’t many what you would have most consider to be top tier programs. Miami has a rather short history of success and their success came at a high reputation cost and perception as a renegade. We may just be reaching our level. Be grateful, our 15 minutes of fame could be coming to an end. Perhaps our power 5 natural level may be closer to an OSO (The Oklahoma State Univ, not an Ohio one). I know we’d all like to be closer to an OU or Alabama level, but pretty sure that will never be the case if we want to be honest. We can flirt with greatness once in a while, but we will also have to suffer hard times too. I think that is just the life of a small private school competing with state schools that have a much easier path in almost all ways.There just isn’t much past evidence of the little guy being a perennial elite in the land of giants.

GP has done something at TCU no one else has done and has done so in a way we can be proud of. Winning programs have a shelf life. Nobody, NOBODY escapes that. Not Alabama, Not Ohio State, surely not Nebraska who once was an elite, not USC who nearly unbeatable for decades, no one. See Florida State, Miami, Texas, Michigan, OU, Penn State...

Sorry I don’t believe that unless that’s a new rule. I remember Baylor and other teams had uniforms that had much less contrast
IIRC their numbers did contrast, but the names on the back weren't noticeable unless you saw a close-up in the right light. Oregon has had some like that too. I may be wrong, though. Just going off of memory.
