Fisher must take a long, hard look at himself, because this is his offense. As futile as the Aggies have been, confidence must be tenuous.Īs for staff changes, everything should be on the table. I’m sure some of that is so that his players hear him have their backs publicly. But it seems as if that’s what he’ll continue to say. I can imagine how tiring it gets for A&M fans to hear Fisher say “we’re close” every week, all while A&M puts out one of the worst offenses in the country despite recruiting top-flight talent. We’ll find out in the offseason if he’s willing to acknowledge that major change is needed. Will Jimbo Fisher ever acknowledge that the offense has problems beyond “we are young” and “we are not executing?” Which coaches on his staff are most likely to take the fall for this offensive disaster? - Gary C. Until then, all they can do is keep winning, because if they do that, they’ll be impossible to ignore. Hopefully the Horned Frogs get proper credit for that if they win the conference. The Big 12 is better top-to-bottom than it has been in a while and might be the deepest conference in the country. Recruiting and NFL Draft results play into that, because top-end teams from those two conferences typically sign more blue-chip recruits and thus put more players into the draft. Teams from the latter two conferences typically get more benefit of the doubt when discussing the nation’s elite. Will the Horned Frogs be viewed like those two teams? Of course not, because TCU is in the Big 12, not the SEC or Big Ten. 2 Ohio State’s (the Buckeyes’ opponents are a combined 25-27). TCU’s schedule strength is also better than No. 1 Georgia’s resume (the Bulldogs’ six FBS opponents are a combined 23-21). Still, TCU’s FBS opponents are a combined 24-19 (.558 winning percentage). The quarterback injuries are important context because the committee will weigh those, too.įour straight wins 🔥 is building something special in Fort Worth #Big12FB x /bJs6VQIYl8 The selection committee will put more emphasis on what those teams are at present than what they were when TCU played them. The ranked wins are nice, but Oklahoma is clearly not a Top 25 team and Kansas has stumbled after Jalon Daniels’ injury. If the Horned Frogs hover around there when the College Football Playoff rankings debut next week, they can play their way into the top four by season’s end. In the one outlier, OSU’s QB was already injured going into that game (he did not practice the week before). How much respect does TCU really deserve? In three of its last four games, it has injured the opposing team’s starting QB. They own the third best win (after Tennessee > Bama and UGA > Oregon. What will it take for TCU to get some respect? The Frogs just beat four ranked (at the time) teams in a row.
They need one more win to get to a bowl, and I think they’ll get it. If Manning stays solid, which I believe he will, Sarkisian should be safe going into 2023.īecause Texas has been through so much coaching turnover in the post-Mack Brown era, the Longhorns don’t want to make a change after just two seasons under Sarkisian. When Quinn Ewers decommitted and Texas didn’t land Tommy and James Brockermeyer in 2020, it contributed to Tom Herman’s eventual demise. When top prospects start decommitting, that impacts how a coach is viewed by fans and administration. Recruiting is often the canary in the coal mine. Does Sarkisian get the benefit of the doubt because Manning and the rest of a stellar recruiting class, currently ranked sixth in the 247Sports Composite, are on the way? Maybe.
But at that point, it becomes a chicken-egg scenario. If Texas finishes 5-7 again, would that prompt a move? Possibly.
A coaching change is the only thing that I could see impacting his decision. Heck, the Longhorns were 5-7 last season, and he committed this summer before seeing them play a down. It’s hard to believe he would throw that away because Texas hits a rough patch. The relationships he built with Steve Sarkisian and AJ Milwee were vital. He and his family took a deliberate, thorough approach to his recruitment before he issued a commitment. Even if Texas struggles down the stretch, I don’t see Manning decommitting.
