Bowl Game eligible !!!With all the underclassmen coming into the offensive line, 6-6 will be a good year.

We will never be as successful as we have been in the GP era. It needs to continue until he and only he decides he’s done with coaching. He knows more than anyone that he needs to do better. He will have us back in that top 10 soon. History supports that.
I’m not saying GP has to go but I’ve seen bad 80’s and 90’s. TCU 93’ me and wife 97’. Now my money goes to UAB x3 and we moved from Houston to Birmingham last year. I’m proud that UAB has won the CUSA West again and I will be going to championship game for a second year in a row. My expectations for UAB are what they are but damn TCU we can’t except what we’ve seen the past 2 years.Anybody who thinks the last two years are even remotely close to “pre GP” has lost the right to have an opinion on the matter as far as I’m concerned. And just to be clear “pre GP” involved things like hoping that some day we’d be as good as Wyoming and New Mexico, praying each night that we’d get invited to the Mountain West Conference, and winning big recruiting battles against Rice and UAB.
Actually I think this line of thought is nit accurate anymoreWith all the underclassmen coming into the offensive line, 6-6 will be a good year.
In total wins - yesif you add up wins since joining the Big XII TCU is behind Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Kansas State, and Texas. I hope we have more success than that in our future.
Saving him for the bowl game we apparently thought we would qualify for.Actually I think this line of thought is nit accurate anymore
And it’s one of the things GP and whoever our new OC is needs to realize
I looked it up and a lot of the top 20 teams offensive lineman are underclassmen with a bunch having true freshman
kids are coming in ready to play more often even on the line or at least getting there faster than the past
I have no idea why we didn’t play Coker yesterday for example - he had 1 more game to play and keep his red shirt and the line was so much better with him at OT against Tech
Ha. You got a Steel “like”. Stupidity endorsed by moronic stupidity.He did a hell of a job for this University. The game has passed him by. The window has closed. Thanks gary for all you did.
Which makes no senseSaving him for the bowl game we apparently thought we would qualify for.
The only person that ever gets to decide when it’s time for GP to go is GP. End of conversation.
We went to Davis on the season-saving Hail Mary 4th down on Friday, so you may not be the only one. Maybe we use some sort of lottery system or random number generator to decide whose shoulders we are going to put the season on.Which makes no sense
save the bowl game for the departing seniors that can’t block - it’s their last game and of no value to anyone but the seniors
However i understand almost nothing about our philosophy of how to use players on offense in general

If the window has closed . . . It’s Gary’s window. Coach Patterson built this program to what it has been. He should get to enjoy it a while longer. To your point, we may be entering the ‘Mack Brown Career Extending Phase‘ where assistant coaches must come & go, but he will remain, regardless.He did a hell of a job for this University. The game has passed him by. The window has closed. Thanks gary for all you did.
And OU has 4 RS SO and a freshmanWell Fly, let's look at no. 1 and no. 2 and see what they have:
OSU - 2 soph, 1 jr, and 2 Graduate Transfers.
LSU - 3 jr, and 2 sr.
Ron Swanson, Phormer, Country, MTfrog5, Pharm, RollToad (perhaps not FULLY functioning but close). Congrats to all who made the list!
There are others but I’m gonna leave them unnamed so that everybody can just assume they were one of them.
And OU has 4 RS SO and a freshman
Bama has Freshman at LG
Georgia has three Sophomores starting
Oregon has a sophomore tackle
Utah has 2 RS Fr and a Sophomore
I am not saying it would it would not be preferable to have a more senior team everywhere- but I just think most programs are willing to try a young guy over a jr/sr that isn’t performing in the OL now
I don't think I'm ready for gp to go but this has been posted a few times now and it's a dangerous mindset.
He's earned a lot of leeway but to say he can stay as long as he wants is crazy.
I was a fan in 70s through now and the last two seasons have been unaccaptable.
There is a built in sense of expectation now at TCU for the football program and it is not being met.
Should GP go nope. But some changes need to be made in the coaching staff. That's why GP is getting the big bucks.
Only one national title. PikersReally How's FSU doing without Bobby Bowden?
Yes it is crazy. That mindset will bury a program.
