This is having a K State flush Paul feel to it. Not Campbell, but so bad that he will be forced to make offensive and ST changes... by his boss. Too much riding to just mold young men. Honorable I'll admit, as long as it involves winning to satisfy the donors and put a$$es in the seats.
It seems like he had talked about earning the right to ….. To your point the staff has to earn the right to mold young men.

Curious, but why?

Do people not notice trends?

And the obvious incompetence that is still there in year 7?

Our only conference win was over a depleted foe that we were only up on 10-7 entering the 4th.

Something happened, because this staff is just awful anymore.

Oh great, you're back.

And what if he doesn't?

You ready for that conversation?

...is that on the coaches?
yes, having a program the values the football is on the coaches. Programs that don't make so many mistakes have good preparation and coaching, their players don't false start, they don't delay of game and their players don't cough it up a lot.

I think two things can be true: CMC brought our program to heights it had never previously been, and CMC has now lost whatever momentum had been built from all those years. Can he do it again? I’d like to think so, but it’s going to take a huge change and I’m not sure he’s willing to make it.

CMC stubbornness is paying off. It’s affecting the defense now. Why try when your efforts are not complimented by a pathetic offense? Amazing.

Really Happy for TCU, turning things around after gary. Nice to see the Big 12 will be able to put a team in the playoffs, even after Texas and OU leave.
