Maggard Has Confidence in Robichaux

That was the era of the "silent phase" of fundraising. I seem to remember asking why don't they come out with a definite plan, show it to fans along with a timeline showing X amount of dollars to get started and X amount to get it built in X amount of time, and fund raise to that goal. The popularity was at a high point at the time. The answer was they'd look into that after the silent phase. To my knowledge, they never got out of the "silent" phase.

Oh what a fun time that was especially the finger pointing. Nothing like not having money in the bank to start a multimillion dollar project.

A silent phase is SOP in a capital campaign...as you will see when the new guy gets on board and we start raising money for the stadium.

Looks like TCU gonna miss it 2 years in a row after 4 straight CWS...their guy must have forgot how to coach too

4 straight CWS can buy you 2 straight missed post-seasons. I’d sign up today for a constant rotation of 4 CWS appearance followed by 4 years of missed post season.

That’s not the current situation at hand for us.

Didn’t say it was the current hand, but do you think TCU coach forgot how to coach? If a team In the big 12 with all their resources can go into a downward cycle after 4 straight CWS trips, what makes a sun belt program immune? Did TCU forget how to recruit?

Getting the right support staff is important in all sports. I’ve seen declines in many successful sports programs amateur and pros after the departure of top assistants. The same thing has happened here on several occasions. Robe has decided to keep a key assistant that arrived with the beginning of our decline. Frankly I’m doubtful that is the right move. Hopefully he’s right.

It’s his job to lose, not ours. I hope he is right also but if I were in his position I would also want to be in charge of my own fate as I’m sure most would like that as well in their professions. People rarely mention he was also the guy that made decisions that brought us success. Lately it seams some only want to point to his failures. Sometimes things just don’t work out like you planned.

Yes, just like the coach at Rice. Sometimes, the same message from one guy no longer carries much weight with players.

I’m not saying it’s time for Coach Robe to go, but what I am saying is he should not have some lifetime contract either. Managers in the private sector grow stale. Coaches grow stale. Politicians grow stale. Fact of life.

Tom Landry was fired. Chuck Noll was about to be before he stepped down.

[CajunEXPRESS]

He’s found face saving exits for his prior assistant mistakes, rarely an outright release. He’s betting the farm on Talbot. That’s the same coach whose been the main recruiter. Again hopefully he’s right.

When we played in the regional at Houston Wayne graham could barely make it out the dugout. He is 83, tony is 57 years old. I’m not suggesting the guy has a lifetime contract. As I said earlier, everybody has a “it’s time to go” in their head..people have different opinions on when that is. I’m not ready to give up on tony yet, if you are that’s fine also. This season was a stinker but the previous 2 weren’t terrible. They weren’t up to standards but they still won almost 40 Games in 17 and 18. It’s not like it’s been 3 straight years of this. The last time we were in the exact position and the “game passed tony by” he made changes that led us to the best 4 year stretch in history. Will that happen again? Don’t know but are you willing to bet against tony turning it around?I'm
Not

So he convinced other schools to hire his assistants to save face? And you want to get rid of a magician like that?
