[@austinflanagan6653]

TCU has the potential to be a consistent force. School is growing rapidly just like the metroplex it’s located in. If TCU can lock down the dfw metroplex for recruits and keep a consistent above average coaching staff they’ll likely never have a repeat of the past 4 years for awhile.

With all respect, give Sonny a chance. Dykes has changed the player culture at TCU and has earned the teams trust quickly while installing entirely new playbooks on both sides of the ball. GP was an incredible coach for TCU and is the sole reason that we are in a power 5 and I do not want to diminish that, but as of recent the players have seen him as domineering and too traditional in the football sense to compete with the smoke and mirrors teams in the Big12. Also might add, these last 4 seasons have been due to Gary and his refusal to evolve with the game - Sonny hasn’t played a single game with TCU yet.

[@j.daniel6516]

TCU was, from about 2000-2011, the greatest overachiever in college football. This was largely due to Gary Patterson's leadership. His teams were strong in all phases of the game but particularly shined on defense. What happened the past five years was a gradual decline into mediocrity, leading to Patterson being shown the door. I've tried to pinpoint the reason for all that happened but it is a multi-faceted answer. Whatever, it is a shame because TCU was, during its heyday, a very entertaining team to watch. I doubt that Sonny Dykes can revive the magic.

[@nicko5945]

I would put Utah and Boise State above them due to the extra BCS bowl wins during that time, but there is no denying how much they achieved during that span.

[@sasquatchhunter86]

It’s funny how they went from smash mouth run up the gut with a stout defense to the typical B12 video game offense without skipping a beat (mostly).

[@Bones12x2]

Thats because its a bit of a false perception that offense in thr BigXII has been an almost purely pass focused approach. Over the last twenty ish years. If you look at all of the best BigXII teams from Texas in the 2000's, OU in their best seasons, TCU, Ok St, Kansas St when they are good etc... They always have elite running games and usually have an NFL RB (or two) and/or a highly mobile QB. Big XII offenses even when putting up big pass stats, have always relied on a solid running game to ultimately win games.

[@bmbjumpshot6729]

I was at that TCU, Wisconsin Rose Bowl. Classic.

[@bobwallace9814]

The answer is right there...TCU had Andy Dalton and Trevon Boykin as QBs. A team will only go as far as their QB play allows it. If you don't have an NFL quality QB you simply will not compete. Simple as that. Patterson struck out on QBs just like Mack Brown did at Texas. Wins the Championship and then fails to replace the QB and gets himself fired. Now it cost Patterson his job.

[@carlpeterson8182]

Yep, as a Texas fan I can see how Texas won or loss based largely on QB. Vince young was the main force to win the Rose bowl and NC championship and arguably Texas could have beat Alabama about 4 years later if Colt McCoy did not get hurt. the Applewhite/ Simms controversy was a major factor in some tough losses for Texas also earlier.

[@wesleyowens4089]

The QB matters but it's not the only thing that matters. Texas tech has Baker Mayfield but he transfers to Oklahoma because tech was ass then they had Patrick mahomes and we're still ass not to mention they had days Webb who is still in the NFL he just doesn't start

[@lastcomment2614]

System matters too, Garret Gilbert left Texas played great at SMU and is still in the NFL...Let's be honest, Patterson refused to move on from Sonny Cumbie when the system plummeted after Boykin left, it was predicable at best. Same with Texas, they were making horrible hires on the offensive staff and not recruiting for any system just getting whatever players they could.

[@brian2440]

It matters quite a bit, but then again 2010 TCU had 14 future NFL draft picks and their 2014 team had 12 future NFL draft picks So it wasn’t just the QBs. Especially for Daltons era, yeah they were stacked on A Top 5 offense, but they also had #1 ranked defenses in the country for back to back seasons.

[@MattLindon-wv8jy]

I mean despite the inconsistency of Dalton, he was still an All Pro QB at Cincinatti. The guy actually won playoff games in the NFL. The guy still plays in the NFL 12 years after he was drafted. Thats more than 95% of QBs that go in into the NFL can say. And during the Dalton era seeing as they went undefeated two seasons and their only ever loses were to #2 Utah, #3 Boise State and #4 Oklahoma Id say their biggest hinderance to make a national championship is the league screwing them over.

[@LiamWTFbruh]

[@brian2440]

@Stephen Abootman Yeah except who are you taking as the 4th spot, cuz if it’s not Boise State then you absolutely need an 8 team playoff…. TCU was amazing that season and definitely championship quality, but through 99% of the year they weren’t even the best G5 team. And in all seriousness besides 19 LSU name a single team that’s made the playoffs to date with a better resume than: - 35-1 in 3 years; 12-1 conference champions - 4 Top 25 wins, including a road OOC win over the ACC Champ (vs #8 Utah by 33, at #13 VT by 3, vs #18 Hawaii by 45, at #24 Oregon State by 23). - ranked #2 in total offense - scored 50+ in 50% of games; averaged 48ppg - ranked #2 in total defense - shutout 3 teams; allowed 11.3ppg - outscored 3 teams in the Top 10 for total offense 149-15 - ranked #1 in margin of victory at 36.7 points - ranked #1 in the country by SP+, SRS and Colley Unless Cam plays like a god, Auburn would get an annihilated by that team. And Oregon? Bruh the ducks literally got slaughtered by this team in back to back seasons 57-21. Amazing the heights you can reach when you play Portland State instead of Boise State. ----------------- I mean seriously who would you take? - 12-1 Wisconsin with wins over #5 Ohio State by 23, and #23 Iowa by 1. Lost to #14 Michigan State by 10. The Ohio State win is good, the Michigan State loss is bad, don’t have as many top 25 wins and then there’s common opponents - yucky: Vs San Jose State: 41-21 Boise State at San Jose State: 51-0 - 12-1 Ohio State beat #23 Iowa by 3. Lost by 23 to Wisconsin. So not close on top 25 wins, and way worse loss. - 12-1 Stanford beat #24 Oregon State 38-0. So point on the common opponent head to head for Boise State who only beat them 37-14. But Stanford lost to #2 Oregon by 21. Boise State still has more top 25 wins. - 12-2 Oklahoma; beat #14 Oklahoma State by 6, beat #16 Florida State by 30, beat #19 Nebraska by 3. So somewhat comparable ranked wins. Lost to #17 Mizzou by 9, lost to #21 Texas A&M by 14. So they actually played the same number of Top 25 games. Boise State finished with a better record, lower margin of loss, and greater margin of victory. There’s also common opponents: Oklahoma vs Utah State 31-27 Boise State vs Utah State 56-12 - 10-2 Arkansas. Beat #9 LSU by 8, #15 Miss State by 7 in 2OT, #21 Texas A&M by 7, #22 South Carolina by 21. Lost to #1 Auburn by 22, and to #10 Alabama by 4. Harder schedule. But two loses and one bad loss.
