Some people forget when we thought that we were too cutesy on offense with Cumbie and Meachum at the helm. I do miss the multitude of screen plays though.

I thought I made it clear I was happy with the result.

beyond me how quick decisions are made by members on this forum in the first game of the year? we won, didn't we? new personnel by itself needs to shake out and melt together. New defense and so on... Hoover at this stage is most likely the best passer TCU has had in some time. I think the young man will do VERY WELL FOR TCU!!! If you don't recognize it...those are positives.

The knee-jerk reactions are ridiculous. It's incredible how quickly coaches go from signing extensions to the hot seat, sometimes just over the course of a few games. Maybe Sonny and Kendal will flame out and need to be replaced before too long, who the heck knows.
Most thought Billy Napier was a near can't-miss guy and our best option in 2021, because he worked under Saban for a time and was real organized and detailed or something like that. You think Florida is thrilled they outbid us for him? G. Riley was supposedly the best young coordinator in the game a couple years ago, now his offense is into its second year of sucking, relative to the talent he has at his disposal. Hell, I remember when we were laughing our asses off at Texas not being able to take Sonny Cumbie from us.
If you're gonna get rid of somebody, first tell me who you're gonna replace him with that has shown he's any better (over more than a 1-2 year period).

I liked the RPO game on Friday. Seemed like we ran a low-ish risk offense with fairly high reward. He ran quick passes to start to keep the defense off his QB, but started to expand the playbook in the second half. Good start, and if not for a several fumbles, penalty induced long drives by the opponent, and a missed FG, we could have easily had 45+ points on the road.

It’s probably against some environmental law in Palo Alto.

You may disagree but this immediate "disagreement with Sonny and Briles is the result of the political environment we now live in. We wake up and you don't even think about the political stress surrounding our world but it's there in spades. It's hard to pay bills, buy groceries, and gas, and, provide for our families. This dud we are living in is affecting our normal thinking process. It's a burden of fear, anxiety, stress. We are trying to plan our family's mental health but it's difficult. What is the political future? This stress is having a complete effect on our lives and there is little we can do about it. In other words, we are a negative society, everything is mostly wrong with our lives. That is pure stress of the worst kind.
You drive down the road and some jerk cuts in front and almost causes a three-car pile. You honk your displeasure and the jerk gets out of his car with a baseball bat. He's mad at you for honking at him. This is one of the effects of this is negativity in every step of OUR life. On this occasion, Sonny and Briles were the recipients. I've rewatched the Stanford game three times and I see many positives. Love their effort from those kids in that game. they gave pretty close to 100%. No doubt they will become much better in every game this year.
What this boils down to, is to slow down and think before you react with negativity. You might be the jerk with the baseball bat one day if you don't slow down the anxiety.. Ha, it could get a LOT, LOT worse in three months. Gawd, I hope not!

It might be in an evidence bag somewhere.
RIP, Finger-tape. We will never forget.
To be fair, no other Big 12 school played a real opponent. But, TCU did enough on offense to win in spite of all the fumbles, drops, and penalties--we had yards to spare, and we used almost all of the spare runway we earned for ourselves. Briles's unit deserves praise. If he cuts out the errors and we keep trending upwards, his detractors (me included) will need to admit that he's done his job and deserves the benefit of the doubt in future.

Those penalties on Stanford's first drive were a shame or else Avalos would get some DC love. Held Stanford to 165 yards passing and the only reason they got more than 100 yards rushing was the QB getting loose on scrambles.

The problem is that there are people that dislike him because they hate his dad. These same people hate him more than Baylor even though Baylor scapegoated his dad for larger title 9 issues.
Last year, he did a darn good job considering what we had returning from the national Championship game team. There was a call or two I questioned at the Stanford game. With that being said, he has done well considering we have been deficient in the Oline for two years.

The question is:
Do you miss the short side option?

I’m sure there are people on here who would rather have Dodd as offensive coordinator. By the way, I miss the short side option about as much as I miss the slow developing screen that got blown up during the Sullivan era.
