The reason(s) behind college football’s biggest collapse of 2023: TCU’s one-year fall

By Big Steaming Pile

Once the player leaves the team they are more apt to be honest, and the truth here lacks a Hulu-caliber subplot, reality TV-level infighting, or any sort of smoking semi-automatic gun.

Of all the teams in major college football in 2023, none fell further than TCU. From defeating Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl to reach the national title game in 2022, to finishing 5-7 and missing out on even making the Gamblers In Recovery Bowl in 2023.

“None of us saw it coming at all,” former TCU defensive back Mark Perry said last week.

nope

Defense.

 

[Westsider]

Mac at his worst. Just lazy.

 

[Palliative Care]

Plain and simple we lost too much talent and experience from the prior year's team to maintain that level of performance.

A Randy Galloway use to say, "It's all about the quarterback".

The most important reason for our one-year decline was that our preceding season was a historic over-achievement. Not excusing the mistakes or minimizing how disappointed I was, but let's have some perspective. The 2022 Frogs might easily have gone 9-3, and the 2023 Frogs weren't very far from being 8-4. I'm happier for having gone 13-2 then 5-7 than I would have been if we'd gone 9-3 then 8-4.

New D coordinator, different QB room, spring ball is around the corner. Last year sucked, but there’s plenty of reasons to be excited for what comes next.

There always be those who will kick you when you are down. The best response is to get back on your feet and fight back.

 

[HG73]

Don't forget the kicking. We had the best kicking in '22, and the worst in '23.

And without their cheater coach.

And without their cheater coach.

Obviously without.

To be fair, Muck also tries to kick us when we're up. And anywhere in between.

Bet you they don't go 5-7!

 

[SwissArmyFrog]

He just gave some of the players a chance to say what they experienced. Nothing wrong with that.
