  1. Always have wondered how Disney's purchase of Hulu (can't remember if that was 2019 or 2021) was allowed to go through as this has been where it has been heading since that acquisition.
  2. Crapping? Huh, Gary did great things for the program and the school, but I don't see my ability to recognize and express that Patterson's time at TCU followed the same pseudo-Greek tragedy as Bowden, Gundy, heck Tom Landry for that matter and others as crapping on him. Especially when the history is there in his record over those last few seasons and issues inside and around the program. Secondly, there is not a shortage of coaches. There is a shortage of name brand coaches. If you are hiring a coach based upon their name recognition or wow value then you deserve the results when they don't succeed. What was Kirby's record as a HC before he took the UGA job, same with the guy at UO, Saban in his first 4 years at Michigan State was barely above .500 in conference and overall before he went 9-2 in year 5, Urban was very successful at Utah where most people discounted his success and as many people as I can name who did succeed there are coaches who "should" have been successful but weren't for a number of reasons. Most of the talking heads don't truly know shit about who would be a great hire at whatever program because they are there to create content and not provide accurate information. They aren't working with these guys and going against them on the field and in recruiting. Not different than the people who create mock drafts and recruiting rankings.

    Will be very interesting to see if LSU can keep those top 3 kids from current group of high school commits.

    True, but I think much of these decisions about firing coaches to start the hiring process early are going to be wishful thinking. I am curious if all these empty jobs results in some high school kids waiting to sign.

    Hypothetical, if you are Texas, with all you have to offer to a head coach, how hard do you try to keep Sark if he truly would be looking elsewhere? I understand there is no guarantee his replacement will be successful, the whole devil you know is better than the one you don't, but at which point for some of these jobs does the school have to tell a coach good luck elsewhere.
  6. It is the awkward question of do you keep a coach who will get you 9-10 wins, but won't consistently put you in a position to compete for titles. Sonny has brought about a number of good changes that were needed in the program and I think he is that guy who can lay out a solid blueprint, BUT he isn't the guy to put that blueprint into place, isn't a great evaluator of coaching talent, and I think he is still too old school in the thinking an HC makes all the decisions when the job to run a college program has gotten much harder, Harder than when his Dad coached, harder than what Gary faced when he helped rebuild the program.
  7. True and I think that is some of the reason why some of the older money was pissed about Sonny. He spent time working with the staff in 2017, took the SMU job, beat Gary in 2019 and 2021 and then won with "Gary's players" who had quit on Gary the year before. There is still good talent to be found to play at TCU, but there are issues that need to be dealt with, just not sure if they have the people in place for the job. I might not be on tv or radio, but I do know that the program is in a better place than 2021 and better than had Gary stayed because he was going to pull a Bowden or a Gundy.
  8. Agreed, they are basically trying to drive subscribers over to the streaming platforms they have ownership and away from YTTV. Fuck them, they haven't been a good thing for college sports, or trying to fuck over subscribers with this Unlimited ESPN bullshit, and are responsible for turning loose on America people like Stephen A, Mike Greenberg, Jeff Pasan, and others. I say stop bombing Venezuelan drug boats and bomb that campus in Connecticut.
  9. You got me, those tv and radio people are never wrong and know what is going on in every program in the country. Damn silly of me to bring actual facts like Gary's record to this discussion, but that is all irrelevant because I am not on the radio and tv. As to how Tech is so far of TCU, partly a billionaire stepping up at Tech which is to his credit and two big issues at TCU. The first was an athletic director in way over his head? The guy pissed off key boosters, was too busy enjoying the benefits of what he basically was gifted by Del Conte, and TCU failed to focus their NIL efforts. The Frogs are just not getting over the split between NIL groups and making a concentrated effort. Unfortunately for us the poor Bezos brother went to TCU, the CEO and not the founder of Nike is a Frog, and the TCU alum who would have spent like Campbell died in 2020. Timing is everything. The other was the number of old money alums and boosters who got pissed when Gary was fired, really didn't want Dykes as coach, and then went ballistic when Briles was hired as OC to replace Riley. Unfortunately much of that old money would have been happy to keep Gary around and ride "his" program into the ground because he deserved to instead of doing what was in the best interest of the TCU program.
  10. Remind me, did Saban go 21-22 in his last 4 seasons at Bama overall, go 13-19 in conference play, and have his team quit in him during his last two games coaching? I know someone who did and tell me the last time Neuheisel actually hired a coach or made a decision that mattered.
  11. Better to laugh instead of cry.
  12. We all know players don't get better as they get older.
  13. Crazy thing is if I remember correctly he has started more games in the NFL then he did in college at Stanford.
  14. Yet we see the same thing again and again and again with the rankings of quarterback prospects based upon their performance in 7-on-7, quarterback camps, etc...
  15. They actually did call it on the field, the booth is who changed the call and that is the issue. They are not consistent with that call and how they go about "protecting quarterbacks".
  16. Takes one to know one doesn't it.
  17. You are so fucking predictable .
  18. According to David, Fox's expert official, and the booth nothing. If you ask some of this thread,he had scrambled, went into an obvious slide, and was hit by a Denver defensive back resulting in CJ hitting his head on the turf and was concussed. Pick your version.
  19. Who has played the softer schedule, UVA or BYU?
  20. Did Darrell Johnson just give flowers to a Denver safety who was 5+ yards away from the wide open receiver for possibly being in position to catch an overthrown pass if it hadn't been tipped and no mention that if Mills can get the ball to Kirk he might have run away from the above mentioned safety? Run blocking for Smith on all those runs has taken its toll.
  21. Nice illegal block on the edge to spring the 3rd down run. Shame it wasn't it was were it could easily be seen like I don't know, on the edge of the formation on the short side of the field.
  22. Unfortunately, this is what we get in most NFL games.
  23. Curious, who was the quarterback at Vandergrift? Sounds like a situation similar to Manvel a few years back when they had King and the quarterback who signed with Florida.
  24. Death on the sideline is always a possibility.
  25. If so, will be interesting to see what happens with the quarterback.
