Must be so angry. For two reasons. First, because the conditions (crowd, game-time, weather, blackout, "down" opponent, rival, drone show, expected "momentum") for the TCU game set up for a PERFECT evening, getting the fans engaged again, and moving to 5-1, and of course we screwed the pooch yet again at home in front of our fans.

And second, because I'm sure Linda has his hands tied and there's no way he can fire Dave when he knows the damage to the fan base from letting this go on without a firing could be irreparable for years.

Then man up Doug. Go get you some powerful BMD's and force the Okie's hand. Fans are behind you.

I don't know anything about Doug, but I'm guessing he's doing what he can. He made an effort to get folks to the game, he succeeded in getting butts on the seats for TCU. He just couldn't make the team not do what it did on Saturday.

Hopefully, he's spending more time looking ahead for solutions than being angry. He pretty much had a good idea what he was getting into.

We can only wait and see how it all goes.

Only one coach has been fired this year, and it was Mike Locksley at Maryland, whose team/program had bottomed out to an embarrassing level after years of futility.

Just because Dave hasn't been fired yet doesn't mean he won't be. I'd imagine the standard for being retained remains whatever it was before the TCU loss. The TCU loss just made it harder to achieve.

I'm ready to move on from Dave. Have been for years now. But there's no major benefit to doing it now as opposed to later. The dynamics of this season -- and Dave's limitations -- remain the same. I suspect we'll end up with a 6-6 record (7-5 at best) and we'll have a new coach next season.
