[QUOTE="nrhfrog, post: 3149859, member: 5498"] One thing that has really been a surprise to me is how many of the players talk about the discipline and accountability with the new coaching staff. I always thought GP was Mr. Tough Guy with his team....and therefore, there would be a lot of discipline on the team. He was constantly screaming at his players and some of his coaches on the sidelines. It seems like it had really gotten bad the last few years too as he had no voice after the games. It was kind of funny the first couple of times he lost his voice, but then it became an indicator he was a non-stop screaming machine. Players and coaches have been very careful not to criticize GP (which is the appropriate way to handle this transition), but reading between the lines, it is apparent that there was some weird stuff going on behind the scenes. Not sure we'll ever know, but the environment appeared to have turned toxic over the last few years. I will always give credit to GP for making TCU Football relevant and very competitive again. That said, Dykes has brought a refreshingly positive vibe to the environment. Obviously, wins and losses will ultimately determine if this works out, but at this point I think we have reason to be optimistic. [/QUOTE]
