I don't believe Baylor got instantly good as soon as Drew showed up and they've had down years too.That view seems awfully defeatist to me. TCU is not a basketball power but neither was baylor before Drew got there. And no the program hasn't had much success recently but it is a program that has won conference championships with Tubbs, and Killer and Swaim so lets not act like success is impossible here. We have everything in place for hoops success that programs like Tech, KSU and okie light have.
Dixon won't, and possibly shouldn't, be let go this year - to many years remaining on that over $3 million per year contract. But lets not stick our heads in the sand about the absolute BAD basketball, poor talent evaluations, sub par player development, incoherent offensive system and really, really bad shooting from the field AND the free throw line. There are some major flaws in this program right now and the oft repeated excuse of "youth" is far down the list of major issues.
You don't have to be a trained chef to know when a meal is rotten. And the hoops Dixon has served us the last two seasons is rancid.
My attitude isn't defeatist at all. I never said we'll always be this way just that we are this way RIGHT NOW and anyone who doesn't accept that is lying to themselves. If I look at our record this century and see something terrible then I'm not being defeatist, I'm simply recognizing the reality of what this program has been prior to Dixon getting here.
We have a tremendous baseball and football program and it seems that some fans simply want to attribute that success to the magic of TCU which would therefore mean that ALL of our programs should be at that level and if they're not then we're just one coaching change away from making it happen. That's not reality.
