Wait a moment.
Professors often are granted sabbaticals after as little as 7 years. LHCMFP has been doing the grind for 21 years.
So why can't TCU grant LHCMFP a sabbatical and allow him to refresh and retool? It's a legitimate question, and that conversation should have happened in 2017.
If, and this is a big if, TCU cannot find a gem top quality coach that is a good fit for TCU, why not give LHCMFP the option; Sign Coach Kill to 1 year excessive money contract, allow LHCMFP to retool, improve his delegation skills, enhance/update his player interactions, and return triumphant?
Anyone on this board would be burnt toast after 21 years of the weight on LHCGMFP's shoulders.
If the coaching hire goes south, at least give the man the option. Just a thought.
