Foreboding Situation....

[Pure Purple]

If Patterson manages to survive this pathetic exhibition...then he is truly untouchable.

This would reinforce a prevailing belief that the VIPs at TCU don't really give a tinker's

damn about how the fans really feel. Sad...

 

[Sebastian S]

He's so tough on his players for making mistakes, we as fans have the same right to question his coaching.

 

[Froggy Style]

Uh, Gary is just as incompetent as Meacham now. They now have to be fired immediately.

 

[namollec]

la la la la la

I can't hear you !

 

[Mean Purple]

stop. the problem is that he is NOT as tough in his players anymore.

multiple previous players who have attended practice have mentioned that.

somebody sold gary on the [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ] that you have to be soft amd worry about feelings with the newer generation. that's a bad way to handle it.

look, no denying this generation is loaded with a bunch of manbun wearing powder asses, but they need to be taught that no longer flies when they step into the program.

I don’t think we have the big cigars anymore. No more Dick Lowe’s or ex letterman with millions that can call the shots. I haven’t heard a donors name associated with TCU in several years now. Do we still have guys like this? If not, then nothing is going to change

King / Rees-Jones / Scharbauer / Enis are all still around.

...and from what I hear, most these people want GP to stay, so there's that. Could change by the end of the season. Doubt it though.

Finishing out the season with only win being Kansas probably changes that

Wouldn’t expect wealthy successful men to be that dumb.

What about the Hunt and Perot kids?

I’d would give it 50/50 odds and much worse odds if the $ is mostly inherited.

Agreed on the inherited part.

 

[Westsider]

The ones that I know in that group are actually fairly good friends with GP and would rather wait for him to make the decision to leave. Don’t know the King fellow at all. The Hunt and Perot kids haven’t earned their stripes yet.

 

[Sweat Equity]

don't really give a tinker's

damn

The only time I have heard the phrase "tinker's damn" has been in courtrooms... first time the judge said that opposing counsel's argument was not worth a tinker's damn I had to cold take on whether that was a good thing or a bad thing (for us).

Anyways, lovely phrase, carry on.

Do the hunt and Perot kids have an affiliation with TCU? Always thought the elder ones was more of a philanthropy angle

Not to be pedantic but it’s “tinker’s dam.”

If we go back to 1877, in the Practical Dictionary of Mechanics, Edward Knight puts forward this definition: "Tinker's-dam - a wall of dough raised around a place which a plumber desires to flood with a coat of solder. The material can be but once used; being consequently thrown away as worthless."

I will be the first to admit that I am a horrible writer, but that one was on autocorrect. I do appreciate the background - did not know that.
