Fire Kendal Briles

[Limey Frog]

He sucks. This scheme sucks. It's barely working when it does work because you're relying on endless strings of low percentage conversions. What were we on third and long conversions through the air in the first half--7 of 8 or something crazy? That's not a plan, it's a prayer. A prayer that will be answered by the other team running through your exhausted defense like a hot knife through butter come the fourth quarter because your third and long prayers into traffic to your very covered slot receiver dried up and you could not run between the tackles if your running back was an actual ox.

First 34 minutes: 4 TDs
Last 26 minutes: 0 TDs
Didn’t put Stanford away in the third, early fourth when they had a chance and it didn’t hurt them.
Tonight, it did.

We are now 7-8 with Briles as OC, when are we going to realize this gimmick offense is not for us and our personnel!

 

[FrogByBirth]

2nd half play calling was atrocious. OL gets false start on 1 yard line. No discipline…

3 and out twice in the 2nd half (90 second drives)…would’ve chewed up clock to prevent a comeback if those were avoided

You mean like running the football (if we could) ???????!!!!!!!

Maybe when the game starts Holgo should call the plays

FIFY

 

[TCU_91]

58 yards rushing!

Fifty Eight!

Jefferson fell forward for more yards un the second half than that.

Fifty Eight!

Jefferson fell forward for more yards un the second half than that.

Off of just 17 attempts! And that's with us have a decent lead most of the time. That tells rushing wasn't going to be part of the plan. We rushed just a third of our plays. WITH A FREAKING LEAD most of the time. Just a cluster

We either can’t run block or our RB’s are bad. In any event, running the ball and burning clock is a critical element missing. This defense is also not very good at stopping the run as well.

 

[Mean Purple]

sympathetic. 4 left. tell Morris to run/pass. He is quick. What most winning teams to with min. left. Handing off is risky. Time off the clock.

I’ll have what he is having.

 

[traderfrog]

I hate to say it but Kendal Briles was responsible for two games where TCU blew a 21 point lead. The games being ten years apart.

 

[Mean Purple]

Game shouldn't have been a track meet. TCU could've ran on them from the opening whistle until the game was over, but it took a whole half for Briles to finds a running game.

When your HC comes out of halftime and tells the sideline reporter he didn't understand what was going on with the offense in the first half you have a problem my friend.

That, and the weird narration videos of Kaz. Sorry, but not the guy you want in videos talking up how things are done when the lights are off.

He had some holes to run through, chose not to.

Looking at Tapefingers record as OC without daddy and in one score games
Record (1-score games)
2016-Baylor 7-6 (0-2)
2017-FAU 11-3 (1-1)
2018 Houston 8-5 (0-1)
2019 Florida St. 6-7 (2-3)
2020 Arkansas 2-7 (1-3)
2021 Arkansas 9-4 (2-1)
2022 Arkansas 7-6 (2-4)
2023 TCU 5-7 (0-4)
2024 TCU 2-1 (1-1)
----------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 57-46 (9-20)

Take away the season with Kiffin at FAU and he's 46-43 plus he's 24-40 against power 5 opponents.
As we all can see the offense is great is when it's clicking and you are blowing out teams, but when it comes down to the wire, this offense just doesn't hold up when you need it.. You had the ball with 3min left and he threw it 3 times, that's not going to win you a ton of games!

We have to be the only school that scores 34, gives up 300 RUSHING, allow a QB to throw for 230 on just 13 completions and still blame the OC.

The defense is also responsible for holding a lead a 3 touchdown lead. A couple bad drives by the offense does not even compare to a whole game of terrible play by the defense.

A couple bad drives? It was an entire half !!

How does a team come back down 21 points? Your offense doesn’t score and gives the ball back in 90 seconds…

The defense blew this game (though not getting that TD when at the 1 was a killer).

My biggest issue on offense is who is starting and getting most of the carries at RB.

 

[tyler durden]

Absolutely chronic with failures to score.

THIS!!! THIS!!!!!

WTH was that clock management with 4 mins to go??? Seriously????

 

[Rabidfrog]

Maybe when we get inside the 10 Holgo should call the plays

Get AI to call the plays in red zone.

That was a huge mismanagement/play calling series.
