I grew up watching TCU when the team was bad. I remember TCU football of the 80s. I remember the end of the SWC and wandering in the abyss. In high school there were jokes about being a TCU fan wondering if they played real football in CUSA and the MWC. It was fun winning 10 games a year, but it also came with some high costs. Nothing was guaranteed for TCU athletics. The Frogs could have a great year only to have one game be the difference between a major bowl and a trip to the Poinsettia Bowl.
For many of you how many wins a year are needed to satisfy you? Winning 10+ regular season games isn't easy! The Big 12 wasn't going to stop playing football just because the Frogs arrived. There are still plenty of good teams in the conference. This is P5 football. There are few if any easy games at this level.
I understand the frustrations with the team. Trust me it is annoying to see a team look great one week and flat the next week. Something is likely needed to get this team moving in a positive direction consistently. If you just want wins I am sure that can be arranged playing a weaker schedule like BYU. At least we are playing football this fall which 2 months ago didn't look promising.
Also for everyone calling on coaches to be held accountable you might want to look at a few other schools. How is Nebraska doing since firing Solich in 2003? Do you think Tennessee misses Phil Fulmer? There are plenty of other schools that argued certain records aren't good enough only to wish for mediocrity. Be careful what wish for as the grass isn't always greener.
