Fire this entire coaching staff

[tetonfrog]

Not even close to that much…he only has 3 years left at around 7 million per. A negotiated buyout would probably be even less than that. At this point, the athletic department probably might do it to avoid losing that amount of money anyway. Why are people on here acting like he’s got a Jimbo contract?

OK, Dykes is $21 million. How much to buy out the assistant coaches, too? $4 or $5 million? Add in another $10 million for the new staff & it is $35 million?

I do not know any of our big donors, but is it realistic for them to pay that? Especially to a new AD & Chancellor? I apologize for doubting you, but why would anyone want to cash out these clowns? Couldn’t the donors get their name on a building for that much?

One could blame Patterson for bringing Dykes to campus in 2017; allowing Donati, Boschini and boosters to be charmed by Dykes, and Dykes warming to the TCU infrastructure for success.

Patterson always lending a helping hand to coaches.

 

[y2kFrog]

It was 50 million for just dykes to start the year. Guaranteed contracts on all other coaches too.

Whatever the amount is TCU isn’t even competitive in paying for football. They spent a billion on facilities but now are content to let sports die

It was not that much. Not even close…

Considering we can’t even afford to be competitive in NIL it doesn’t matter. Every coach needs to be fired and we need to properly fund the NIL.

Dykes wasn’t doing bad at SMU when we went and got him. SMU was bummed to lose him at the time.

Dykes went 5-7 in 2018 - 10-3 in 2019 7-3 in a Covid shortened season 2020 and 8-4 in 2021 before we hired him. My Mustang friends were sick to their stomachs and went out and got their alums to break out a war chest. Guess you can stash a lot of millions away when you put zero into your athletic facilities.

There is no “properly fund NIL”.
TCU is paying out the maximum amount of NIL revenue sharing allowed under this year’s cap @ $20.5m. They will also continue to pay the max next year in 2026 @ $21.3m
Outside of schools funding revenue sharing, the rest of NIL is dependent on over the cap player/corporate endorsements.
With that in mind, on Oct. 27th TCU established the LEAP Agency. A partnership with Learfield, the Neeley School of Business, and the Frog Club, which is designed to operate much like a front office, and will serve as a "holistic, one-stop shop" for cap management, NIL operations, and student-athlete development. LEAP will work directly with coaches and staff on issues such as roster and cap management while working to expand above-the-cap NIL revenue streams and providing personal brand consulting for TCU student-athletes.
TCU is behind a few teams like Texas, Tx. Tech, & SMU with over the cap spending because we don’t have a billionaire benefactor, but LEAP will hopefully get us there.
As far as the B12 is concerned, except for Tech, TCU is very competitive NIL wise.

Season ticket sales will be a tough job next year. Prices are already sky high and with an iffy economy people are going to say to themselves, is this worth it? And who want to spend a fortune to go to Ireland? Ireland is probably doubting their choice for teams next year.

Two very mediocre teams in that game next year. Not a sexy game to try and market for sure.

That's a big stretch, lol.

Just pull a name out of a hat. I’ll take our chances that it can’t be much worse at this point. I would know. I witnessed the mid-70s’ first hand and it was not pretty. After the last 3 years, just in bad need of someone fresh to gripe about.

If by zero you mean roughly 100 million (before Dykes left), then this checks out

 

[West Coast Johnny]

I don't think next year we are going to be any better. In fact, I see us a lot worse next year.

We play Tech, BYU, and Utah next year...Tech is on the road.

I still think changing coaches is a waste of time without first addressing the payroll shortfall. Until TCU raises a boat full of cash for a payroll and and uses a big chunk of it for paying for great o and d lines, no coaching change is going to help. When you can't rush and your qb is running for his life every play and your d line gets manhandled consistently, doesn't matter who the head coach is.

One of us needs to hit the $800 mil lotto or strike it oil rich.

 

[kodiak]

As much as it pains me to say this, Texas Tech has shown the way. Get some portal savvy coaches and money whip the NIL

Maybe wait to cast that judgement until they blow the conf champ game.
They played BYU at the equivalent of 10 am byu time.

 

[Mean Purple]

We have coach saying [ Finebaum ] like he doesn't care what the fans say. This is why Georgia knocked our asses in.

Everybody here, who tried to say you can’t be hard on players these days they’ll leave blah blah blah, needs to listen to that and then zip it.
If you haven’t dog cussed your secondary once a week in practice, your getting your ass kicked.

Kirby goes after on the sideline and you can hear it.

If you win 1 national championship, you can constantly get into your players' grills and chastise like Bo Schembechler. If you win 2 national championships, you can lava rock your players hind ends and create shame in front of the entire team. If you have won 3 or more NCs like Saban, you can verbally assault all the position groups as Attila the Hun did. Saban realized the "perceived" player coach dynamic was radically shifting because of NIL and exited stage right and went to the Whitehouse and then ESPN.

Let’s be clear. The money is there it’s just being spent on wrs and shiny toys for offense. Not the stuff that is in dire need like o line. Maybe a solid o line covers up for an average receiver. Idk. But this build from the top down doesn’t work as well as building from the bottom up.

0-3 and we haven't even sung the Star-Spangled Banner for the home opener against Grambling ....
