Probably why Nebraska kept their coachTotally agree man. Not a good year at all to be in need of a new HC.

Zero percent chance we fire Sonny Dykes two years from now unless it’s for something not related to football. Literally ZERO.If you ignore the top assistants out there (A&M, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, etc,), then the choices are terrible. Look at what Baylor found in the assistant ranks. Sonny Dykes is not the answer. He will be fired in 2 wasted years. We need to drop our head coaching experience filter and pick someone who really wants the job. Someone like Gary was when we hired him.
Was just about to say the same, we’ve got to be patient unlike Texas who goes for the big splash hire every time. Dykes and that staff will have a lot better first year than Texas it’s safe to say. Bet we win 8 games minimum next year with a much higher ceiling.If you think we are bad, go to the Texas boards. They want Sark gone now. CDC & Co. too smart and know softly softly catchee monkey.
Dabo is settling in with NIL and may stay a long time. Since Tony Elliott showed willingness to come to TCU this year, he might now take the Virginia Tech job if offered?Not worth it, we’ve (almost) got one of our top choices in the house… doesn’t pay dividends to do any of that. I’m sure he will be a HC somewhere eventually. Maybe Clemson in a few years?
We have a chance to be a solid team next year, but it all basically hinges on one thing IMO…. Keeping Malcolm Kelly. I assume Sonny wants to retain him but what I don’t know is if Malcolm wants to stay. If he doesn’t stay I can rattle off at least one important player that’s almost certainly gone and 2-3 others that might not be far behind. The players currently on this roster that could still be here next year will score a ton of points in 2022 IF they all stay.Was just about to say the same, we’ve got to be patient unlike Texas who goes for the big splash hire every time.

It’s forgivable, then!
As a side, anyone that loves TCU is not surprised that this would be the most competitive situation for head coaches in many years. Nothing ever seems to come easy for us. It’s just how we roll.Honest question man…. WHO should we be hiring instead? The article just posted beat me to it but it’s a just a brutal year to be hiring a new HC (bad list of available candidates). We made a run at arguably the hottest young and upcoming HC out there and he listened, just didn’t work out. In the grand scheme of everything else that’s realistically available we’re coming out of this in pretty decent shape with Sonny. I mean hell, last year the University of Texas hired a coordinator who was previously a mediocre HC and might have a drinking problem. I’ll take Sonny.
Bizarre observation.If LSU gets Lincoln Riley and we get Dykes, may as well kiss the program goodbye.
Very logical. I totally see the connection there.If LSU gets Lincoln Riley and we get Dykes, may as well kiss the program goodbye.
Why would that be? What impact would LSU's hire of Riley or anyone have on us? Please 'splain.If LSU gets Lincoln Riley and we get Dykes, may as well kiss the program goodbye.
I'm glad you're finally getting on board with Tony Elliott. Please keep us informed of any further developments on that front. Or for that matter even if there aren't any developments just let us know what he's up to.Since Tony Elliott showed willingness to come to TCU this year, he might now take the Virginia Tech job if offered?
YesAnd I’m sure it will be less then 5 posts before someone says “let’s hire THIS guy” or “what about THAT guy”…. but it’s time to come to terms with the fact that our next HC is Sonny Dykes. Every connected poster on two different boards is reporting it as being done in every possible way but the actual announcement. Again…. OUR NEXT HC IS GOING TO BE SONNY DYKES.
Kind of like Patterson against Arkansas State his first game as HC right?If our new coach loses his first game against Western Dakota A&M or whoever it is, he should be fired.
so back to the fact that we have an unqualified and poorly lead search committee....If you ignore the top assistants out there (A&M, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, etc,), then the choices are terrible. Look at what Baylor found in the assistant ranks. Sonny Dykes is not the answer. He will be fired in 2 wasted years. We need to drop our head coaching experience filter and pick someone who really wants the job. Someone like Gary was when we hired him.
Arkansas State? Never mind. He is on a roll.Kind of like Patterson against Arkansas State his first game as HC right?
