Coaches got way too much blame. Where is the blame for the players?

[LVH]

So much quit and a lack of heart. Not saying the coaching staff is without blame. But this is sad.

you play to the standard you see exhibited in the program

Our coach quit 3 years ago...and has been milking paychecks and writing songs. Everyone around him didn't know what they were doing because that's what he hired. Players just exhibited the same enthusiasm.

lot of half assing going on. GP was milking checks.

TCU is currently undersized, no significant depth and a result unable to be as dominant as is necessary! The next coach will have to fix many of the problems with the portal, to be more ready to go next year!

Or you have nothing to play for..all had high expectations...this season has been a disaster...OSU has a very good chance to win the Big XII, and they played like it

I'm gonna blame coaching. 3rd and 2 in the 1st quarter. We've been able to run. The ball and we empty the backfield for a QB draw. Lose 2 yards. Go for it on 4th and we fart and fall down. Game pivoted on that and it was uphill from there. Very bad play call.

Saw a lot more frustration than lack of heart...we were clearly out matched tonight.. but your point has merit

badly overmatched along the defensive front and asked to do things in the scheme they just can do

offensively what can you say? blow it all up and start over

The players on Defense are just plain not very good.

how is that possible? same defensive staff working together since 2017

Have to agree... after last week, it would be hard to expect a modest team to bounce back to another great effort after an emotionally draining game last week.

This "it's the players" argument just doesn't work in college football. There is not some GM behind the scenes drafting and signing FA players like in professional sports. In college, the coaches recruit, develop and motivate the players. If they are bad, it goes straight back to the coaches.

Gary’s short quick DT strategy is a total failure, it starts with winning the line of scrimmage and TCU has no shot. Blacklock type recruits need only apply.

 

[TopFrog]

Coaches failing. Players quitting. That was a collective cluster scheiss.

Agree the talent level is not what we are used to seeing...but these players are always out of position to make plays..tonight was a glaring example of that....we also lost to a very motivated team with OU losing earlier

 

[Horny4TCU]

Wish we had a defense like Georgia's...

 

[Big Frog II]

Whoever the new coach is going to be will have a lot of work to do.

Wasn’t Mathis a pre-season all-american? That’s got to be one of the biggest jokes of all time. He’s not even all Fort Worth

 

[CountryFrog]

We've been seeing this for 4 years. So that would cover, what 200 - 300 different players? Yea, it's clearly all their fault. Just a bad run of luck in getting bunches of players who aren't any good and don't care. Not anything in the world the coaches can do about that.
