Gary tenure at TCU is finally over. The administration knows it, the board or the few who make the decision's know it. The AD knows it. The fans know it. The players in the back of their mind know it, too. Even Gary knows it. The absolute least abrasive thought is for Gary to say I'm retiring. I don't want this program damaged by a prolonged urging for Gary to step back. Please!!
A statue is standing in front of a beautiful facility and at the present time, it has a world of respect attached to it but the longer this decision drags out, the statue becomes a statue of resentment. I SURELY DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, PLEASE.
A week or so ago, I posted a paragraph about TCU desperately needs a culture change in this football program. Now more than ever. In another week it will become even more pronounced and the week after that, another round of criticism and resentment all the while the program takes a hit and yet then another. The transfer portal will be occupied fully and recruiting takes a mammoth lost of momentum. Then we're talking two, God forbid years to rebuild.
I look at that facility on University, thinking this is not what the thousands of donators were hoping for when they took their hard earned money and gave it to TCU to build an above average football program only to see it damaged. It has gotten to that point. No dramatics here just the pure simple truth. Again, Gary should not feel resentment but thoughtful gratitude. He's respected, revered among his peers but this station in life is a natural progression of events in life.
He's has three of cutest grandsons you've ever seen. Jett looks just like his granddad and the twins are adorable. Keith, one of the twins has Gary's personality while the other is a laid back easy going youngster. He has plenty of income and I think he has a great retirement to look forward to.
Sincerely, sincerely, Gary, thank you Gary but its time fade away.....
