Was reading a story in The Athletic about Iowa State's Matt Campbell, who is sort of starting over in Ames just a few years removed from a Fiesta Bowl win. New OC, new OLine coach, new S&C coach. TCU with Kaz seems directly responsible for the last of those:
"I think the telling sign for us was TCU. That team physically looked completely different than they did a year ago. To me, that doesn’t take talent. That’s not recruiting. That’s development. That’s being aligned with nutrition and strength and conditioning. I blame myself as much as anybody. It’s my responsibility to make sure that’s happening."
He did, framing the problem as having gotten away from what worked in his first few years. The last S&C coach came on board in 2020. Cyclones had a veteran team, and the coach emphasized maintenance over development. It appeared to work that year (Fiesta Bowl win) but that masked that the coach's system wasn't designed to develop younger players, which was a focus of Campbell's early years in Ames.interesting, he didn't dig in and insist what once worked will work again?
Isn't TCU fully funded and building a S&C/Health Science/Nutrition facility that Kaz will essentially run? I feel like it didn't get enough press. That's a pretty amazing thing to offer your S&C coach and also speaks to how good they feel about him.
I think you mean, "Is this finally obvious recognition that HCGP should have fired them before he was fired?"Is this finally the tacit admission that the S&C / ATC staff should have been fired before HCGP?
And the response to “will TCU stay the best team in Texas?”These guys don’t know “Give em Hell TCU?” They don’t do research obviously.
He's never heard of Notre Dame?And the response to “will TCU stay the best team in Texas?”
“They will continuously have the 3rd best recruiting class in Texas. They are going to be competing with Houston. You can’t sell a religious school to kids bro.”
I think the word is getting out that calling TCU a religious school is a stretch. Unless people feel that a core curriculum requiring one class on any type of religion makes TCU a religious school. It's like calling TCU a liberal arts university and therefore proclaiming its liberal.And the response to “will TCU stay the best team in Texas?”

It's so laughable...I think the word is getting out that calling TCU a religious school is a stretch. Unless people feel that a core curriculum requiring one class on any type of religion makes TCU a religious school. It's like calling TCU a liberal arts university and therefore proclaiming its liberal.
Lazy and uninformed people rely on strict definitions based on the word "Christian" being in our name.
