I disagree. Gary has football humility. Sadly he is hard headed like me. I don't like to make changes in my business and he doesn't like to with his football team but we have to. If not, you get old and stale and you fall behind your competition. He simply has to make changes with some of his assistants and how the team is run this off season before we become a has been.Gary has always "smirked" (figuratively or literally) as if he's the smartest football person on the planet and that we should be grateful that he's been here as long as he has. When he was winning, it was easy to go along with it. It's what we all loved about him.
I am grateful for all the years Gary has been here, and I am grateful that he's a nice guy and has done good things for Fort Worth. I am grateful he has been paid over $60 million by TCU. He's earned it. (and that's his on the record TCU money, his side deals with TCU donors take it up over $100 million. He is truly, completely, generationally wealthy).
But when your teams have not been good at all 5 out of the last 6 years...humility is long over due. And Gary has zero humility in his football persona. None. Never has. It's part of what you love about him (the cockiness) and now what makes you want to run him out of town.
Fans don't want excuses, they don't want his reasoning, they don't want his belly aching on a mic, they don't want him commenting on stupid news articles, or "woe is me" injury reports...they want one thing. WIN. That's it. No one cares how you do it, just freaking win.
Now maybe he feels putting a positive spin on everything "defy"'s the negativity to catch up with him.
Or maybe if he "deny"'s anything is wrong, it doesn't actually exist.
However, his fan base isn't turning on him...it has turned. Time will tell if he starts winning again, or, is actually able to change his football philosophy. The time has come.
