fans believe the team's performance is disappointing

Frogs aren’t just losing, they’re losing in boring ways. The coaching carousel is too wild this year, but next year has to be make or break for Sonny.
This is the worst ST unit the Frogs have had in 25 years, minimum. Can't kick, punt, return, or stop returns. It's brutally bad.

player performanceOne fan's take that season

One fan believes a player assaulted a teammate due to practice frustrations

Former TCU safety Jacob Fields faces a charge of assault after a locker room altercation that led to his dismissal from the team earlier this month, according to Tarrant County Jail logs Sunday.
The pretty universal narrative is that this player (a starter!) was a hothead [who was mad that he was getting beat pretty badly in coverage during practice](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2026/08/31/dozie-ezukanma-jacob-fields-tcu-football-assault-sonny-dykes/91556341007/), so he assaulted the guy who beat him (another starter!) in coverage.

One fan thinks the team's performance has declined under him

Taking all that goodwill and spending it on hiring a literal Briles family member at TCU made me stop watching Horned Frogs football in general for quite a while.
