@tcumaniac and I largely agree

23 and 24 seasons are basically a new low for TCU when you adjust for conference quality and opponent caliber

Hold on for one second: a 9-4 season is a "new low." Come on.

I understand your frustration. No OUT. And we lost to Baylor and SMU.

But we finished the year strong. You cannot penalize the team because the schedule/Big 12 was weak. If you feel that way last year under Sonny, then what about GP's success in the WAC or CUSA or MWC? Lots of patsies back then and we certainly did not play OUT every year during those years. Should we tell LT or the Schobels or Tye Gunn or Andy Dalton those years meant nothing because their conference sucked?

I also understand that a lot of this pissiness is due to the season ticket mess. But you want a new low: how about 1-10 under Sullivan?

I think the new modern-era low was established from 2018-2021 when we went 23 wins, 24 losses over an extended period of time. After adjusting for whatever you want to adjust for.

There are people who actually will tell you the MWC was better than the current Big 12. A league with Air Force, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State and UNLV. Throw in the FCS and SMU when they were horrible and you're looking at 7 pretty automatic wins if you're any good at all, with "tough" games against SDSU, BYU and Utah and that's a hell of a tough slate. LOL.

We were good back then but let's be honest. And nobody takes into consideration that it's harder for TCU to get players now (just like it was back then) because we don't have UT and OU in the league.

the Houston and UCF teams we lost to last year…equivalent to SDSU and UNLV?

San Jose Fricken' State...

Last year? I don't know, maybe so. BUt some of those MWC teams we were padding our record against were flat out dreadful, UNLV and New Mexico being two of them. The bottom half of the league was certainly worse than the bottom half of the this year's Big 12. Not even close really.

I don't know what your point is. This program bottomed out in 2021, it had been several years of average at very best and a bunch of crap, that's why we were forced to make a coaching change. The entire program became a joke. Players quitting and laughing while we were getting our ass kicked, a staff full of yes-men, pampered prima donnas on pitch counts, should I go on?

To say this all happened in the past few years is stupid.

Do you think SDSU or UNLV would beat (an overrated) K-State team like UH did?

 

[party frog]

I received the same email today. After 20 years im no longer a season ticket holder.

For 20 years TCU thrived as the underdog. Even in the big 12 the size of our program made us an under dog to UT and OU. With both off the schedule TCU needs regional rival games to fill the stadium. Tech, Baylor, and OSU.

Add in a University of North Texas, Texas state, SMU every few seasons.

Maybe a Home and home with Ark etc… no one cares about UNC or Purdue.

The casual fan in Ft worth doesn’t care about games against KU, AZ or UCF.

For me, I just decided to spend some of my TCU ticket and parking pass money elsewhere. I’m Sure I’ll attend a couple of games. I Just lost interest in attending every home game.

Should we make a coaching change if we’re not in the conference title game this year?

One of the few teams with a very experienced QB

…no more excuses in 2025 in my view..

If we’re not 1st or 2nd in a 16 team league? Seems a bit extreme to have that kind of bar given we were in the NCG a few years ago. Tell me who we could go hire at the time and I’ll tell you whether we should make a coaching change. Who the hell that’s any good would want this job if that’s how they are treated two years removed from a NCG appearance?

Why can’t you just support the coach instead of desperately trying to kick dirt on him at every opportunity? He’s got the best record in the league since he’s been here.

Best record in the league since 2022?

Would love to see the data…know that’s not true without checking..

This is a 16 team conference where 6 of the teams are absolute crap…Cincinnati, WVU, Houston, UCF, Colorado, and Arizona are poor programs that should never beat us

Well, I was mistaken.....T1st in conference record with K-State, 2nd by a game in overall record. And a fair bit ahead of 3rd place.

Records of Big 12 teams since Sonny Dykes started coaching at TCU:

1. K-State (28-12)
2. TCU (27-13)
3. BYU (24-14)
4. Texas Tech (23-16)
4. Utah (23-16)
6. ISU (22-17)
7. Kansas (20-18)
7. West Virginia (20-18)
7. Oklahoma St. (20-18)
10. Arizona (19-18)
11. UCF (19-20)
12. Cincy (17-20)
13. Baylor (17-21)
14. Houston (16-21)
15. ASU (15-21)
16. Colorado (14-23)

By any measure, not bad at all. I know he made his predecessor look pretty silly in 2022 which pissed off a lot of people, but I don't understand why TCU fans can't support the guy instead of trying to kick dirt on him at every chance. Oh, and in the 4 years prior to Dykes showing up we were 23-24, so pretending like we were some kind of national power before Dykes is just plain stupid. Yeah, sometimes teams lose games they shouldn't. It's sports. We lost 24 games between '18-'21.

Football is a game of adjustments. We benefited with the new regime in 2022 because few of our conference opponents had faced a SD team. The second time time around teams knew what to expect and of course we had a lot of player changes. Last year SD made some changes to regain the advantage.

If that's the game we're playing, we lost a ton of seniors after 2022 and started a RS Freshman QB (who wasn't really all that heralded as a recruit) for half the season in 2023. The cupboard was pretty damn bare because the 2021 class was terrible. And Dykes had about 2 weeks to piece together a '22 class.

The biggest shame is GP going 5-7 (well, I guess 3-5 until his buddy took over) with that group in 2021. Coaching malpractice is about the nicest way to put it.

Didn't a ton of recruits from the previous staff decommit too? You are right that SD really did not have a lot of time to pull together his first class, which may have been mostly guys that were thinking about committing to SMU.

It was a mess. What Dykes pulled off in 2022 was a miracle, and what happened in 2023 was entirely predictable if you take into consideration we had a major target on our back because of 2022, and there was a massive talent exodus after 2022 with almost no depth behind them because of what I explained.

Should we have gone 5-7? No, maybe not. But 8-4 was very unlikely and anything better than that would have been miracle #2, all things considered.

OU and UT were in the conference for 22 and 23

Dykes is nowhere near the coach that Sark is. His first two years weren’t much better than Venables at OU either

I know they were. What's the point? Of the 8 teams remaining from the old Big 12, TCU still has the best conference record (tied) and 2nd best overall record since Dykes arrived.

That's just your opinion about Sark. He was 34-29 at Washington and 12-6 at USC before coming to Texas. And now in the pay for play era, he's got the luxury of coaching at a school that can afford to pay it's backup QB millions of dollars. What a dumb argument. Whenever Sark had a job where he didn't have a decided resource advantage over 90% of the teams they faced, he's been pretty average. Below average when graded on a curve. It's not like Washington and USC are exactly hard places to win.
