[QUOTE="Virginia Frog, post: 3122984, member: 4959"] If THIS is GP & wife's attitude - revenge to TCU "bad", then they need to grow up. GP failed miserably on the field, then he virtually [I]quit[/I] when confronted by the bosses when informed of their decision of his future at TCU. (You see he really DID [I]quit[/I] - but never said those words - he wanted the free $5M for 2022. That was the smartest thing he did.) He's pissed for what he sees as disrespect and lack of appreciation for his two decade-plus services where his tenure was by most accounts a net success. But his 5 year trend (and all the changes in and around college football where he obviously was behind-the-door) was insufficient for the TCU administration [B]to trust him[/B] with the future of the football program which - since it's our calling card/"front door" - effects the entire athletic dept and TCU community top to bottom. Okay, he's human and doesn't like being dissed. IMO he pissed on a lot of TCU folks on his way out the door to satisfy is anger. Smart people don't do that. He would have gone down in history and remained a "god" to us in the TCU community. No, his lack of an adult response and this Texas move is so off-putting for many, including me, only to say "good riddance." [/QUOTE]
