Gameday Thread, Appalachia Edition: TCU at West Virginia

[TopFrog]

Built a statue for a coach that averaged 9-4 over the course of his career, half of which was spent in a G5 league. If it's the standard, it's certainly not new.

That is probably the worst post made on this board. If you don’t know why there is a statue of GP on display you should leave. No it is not about his average won-loss record you moron.

 

[TopFrog]

But I will add an average 9-4 record over 20 years is pretty damn good. What is your record @Wexahu

Seriously? He didn’t say that’s WHY we built him a statue. He was pointing out to the poster who said “9-3 is our new standard“ that it’s not exactly new.

It is pretty damn good. I was responding to a post that mockingly referred to 9-3 as the “new standard”. I don’t think you’re following along all that well.

idiotic statement

 

[Mean Purple]

Is this an act, or are you really that stupid?

In 21 seasons Patterson had 11 (52%) 10 win seasons.
Finished Top 25 ranked 11 (52%) times. Top 15 ranked 8 (38%) times, and top 10 ranked 6 (29%) times.
Patterson owns TCU’s only undefeated season in the last 87 years.
Patterson owns TCU’s only 1 loss seasons (3 times) in the last 90 years.

TCU would still be in a Group league right now if not for Patterson.

Patterson has done more for TCU Football than any coach since Dutch Meyer, and was a much more consistent winner than Meyer.

Dude is going to the college football hall of fame.
Saban, Meyer, Smart. All have said GP is one of the best coaches to have been in the game. And they point out he did it the right way.

Yep. Deserved. And our current coach has won at the same clip here as Patterson.

In case you're wondering, Patterson won at a 69.6% clip over his entire career at TCU, and 59.5% in the Big 12 (52.3% in conference games). Dykes is currently at 68.8% (and 63.6% in conference games).

Maybe he sucks as a coach, but he apparently has a weird knack of winning just as many games as coaches who are considered really good.

and ignoring that it was never the standard under GP - NEVER

we achieved greatness or close to it half the time he as our HC and had some terribly below average years with him also - but the hope for greatness was already there until the end....and then we fired him.

We have no hope for greatness with Dykes - just happiness with mediocrity...it is time to move on but again I will ask, how many years of not competing for a conference title and a shot at the 12 team CFP is enough for Dykes to be done?

Or is your answer going to continue to be as long as we keep piling up the 8-4/9-3 5th - 8th place finishes - you are all good with Sonny?

In the new age of mega conferences, rev sharing, NIL, and with all conferences moving to 9 game conference schedules, there are going to be a lot less 10-win teams then there used to. The Big 12 this year is not as competitive as it was last year, so we may see as many as 3 10-win teams (regular season), but I would tend to think that might be an outlier. For instance, teams like Missouri, Illinois, Syracuse, Ole Miss, Clemson were all 9-games regular season teams last year.

zero discipline compare to GMFP

y'all be sure anc check Brewing Frogs thread about the Horse Soldier hooch event. Looks cool.

Can you define how you are using discipline? I seem to remember a QB getting arrested...

So? again thanks for accepting mediocrity and proving my point....loser mentality "we should be happy - look at who else was mediocre"

I was really hoping one of you "9-3 was the standard under GP also" people would suddenly have blood flow to your brain and not embarrass my degree by continuing to be so dim witted - but I will point out the obvious fact of why it was not and never should be the standard....

beyond the fact that none of you seem to understand the difference in meaning of the words standard vs average....

GP was above that mark his entire career - until the very end. And when he fell to that "average" - we fired him for it...

Dykes is at that "average" now and needs to be give the same thing - the door.

 

[FrogBall09]

well I am guessing he assumed you were smart enough to understand he was referring to on the field during the game in how they executed....guess he was wrong in his assumption

If you actually knew anything about the program before GP, under GP and since then under SD - you would know that it takes a large village to keep our players on the "straight and narrow" or at least within the ditches off the field a lot of the time - which is true of every program in college football today and getting worse.

Because now they all have money - real money to them - and lots of attitude to go with it.

We are lucky we didn't have more problems - especially when you look at what other programs dealt with

GPS entire career, until we joined the Big 12 fourteen years ago. So like half his career, or maybe a little less than that.

Just because you don’t think a coach needs to be fired after a couple underachieving seasons doesn’t mean you’re “accepting mediocrity”. That’s dumb.

Guy was 2nd team All Pac 12, 87 tackles, 46 solos. You do not start him one game last year like I was asking around 12 months ago. This year he has 4 sacks and is leading the team. At this bye week in time, I pray that the Coaches are looking and are hard core evaluating productivity metrics. The two players who need to be given starting jobs are Kylin Jackson & Tristan Johnson. Although the 2 have only been given a maximum of 20% of the snaps, they have produced 12-14% of the negatives on run and pass downs.
