TCU on SI: Is There an Internal Answer to TCU Football’s Woes?

[Mean Purple]

I expect Dan to be coaching someplace else next season. I think he is high on a lot of lists. Maybe not first choice, but he's top 5. SEC teams are going to at least interview him. Rumor is that he turned down an interview with Arkansas.

He may want to stay out west.

He may want to stay out west.

There is something to be said about staying at a place for a decade or more, make a ton of money, and absolutely love what you are doing as opposed to coaching say three-years at Florida where people want to shove you off a cliff the first chance they get. Plus, is the Utah transition a done deal?

 

[Bruce Berry]

What good is it to spend money on better players if our coaches can't get the job done?

3 more years of this [ Finebaum ] show is not sustainable.

It's not if but when. Sooner the better.

"Unable to run the football efficiently, the Frogs' offense becomes one-dimensional and severely dependent on Josh Hoover and the passing game."

we got mike leach jr. but with less points and boring pressers.

Josh needs to run the ball 8 times a game and shoot for 90 yards. Max did it, Ad did it. We’re missing that dimension. Anytime Josh runs in the wide open gaps he makes good yardage and it forces the D to have to respect his run. Without him running that’s a major offensive dimension that defenses don’t have to worry about. I don’t remember Briles ever having a QB that wasn’t a dual threat but Josh is a drop back passer and it’s not working in the B12

We could get Dan Mullen easy.

Really?

That’s an argument for sticking with the current staff until at least 2027.

I suspect Dan will be doing TV talking head in 2026.

You do know that Dan beat a Big 10 team this year coaching a Mountain West school, right? And there is a chance that his squad wins 10 games this season.

@bmoney214 - Sonny did good with good players in ‘22. You’re only as good as the roster you can buy now.

'22 was already experienced and ready for change from CGP.
Incoming does not appear to be developed here.

Or turning around another program like he is doing now.

But why?

Amen to your post. I’ve said the same in different post the past two years! Unfortunately no one is listening.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

But why?

7% higher winning percentage!

 

[FroggleRock]

If they don’t let Sonny go (or start planning to), then I hope they completely gut the offensive staff (minus Kelly and Coleman).

 

[AroundWorldFrog]

When your head coach says [ Finebaum ] like this, scheiss him

Penn State was No 2 in the country and has now lost six straight
ISU was No 12 and lost 4 straight

You were never #2 and Franklin got his ass fired. scheiss off Sonny. Straight up gas lighting the fan base. And we have fans that eat it up.

The big difference is in the change at OC. That has not worked out regardless of the excuses.

It just seems so “UnBriles” to not have a QB that is also part running back.

Hoover isn't really the right QB for his system.
