Joey McGuire has had winning seasons in his first two at Tech and his first two as a HC, yet idiots were calling for him to be fired because we lost a series of close games.

Joey also recruited one of the best classes in school history, so I really don’t understand this position beyond certain fans wanting to yell at the clouds

sometimes i think people forget there are levels to this, and just because Texas is a recruiting hotbed doesn't mean its easy to still get talent to go to Lubbock.

Also i think the halcyon days of Mike Leach, michael crabtree, etc. have people thinking that should be the standard at TTU and not a "nice to have every decade or so" kind of success.

I think it’s only going to get worse for coaches of Big12 teams. Since there is no big team in the Big12 next year, every fanbase is going to expect to compete for the title and when those expectations are met with a 6-6 season; fans are gonna crow and coaches are gonna get fired.
