TCU Content: Purple Theory Podcast

As long as I don't see SM showing up in any of these posts, I'll be a happy camper. While JayBaugh coaching here sounds great, I would not be upset if JH left for the NFL in a year or two and SM replaces him as HC.

Greg Roman is going to Stanford because he is going to get fired by the Ravens after this year.

I don't think Matt Weiss would be the replacement since the biggest problem people have with Roman is the structure of the passing game

His "True" Friends.. is a little too much in the feelings for me. sounds like something we want to hear more than what may be happening

I'm sorry I have but one downvote for a post like Ghost's, aka DH.

Re: All’s maturity.

I don’t have insider info but my wife is a neurologist. She believes that All was likely properly advised by M docs but possibly sold a conflicting opinion from BioSpine - a for-profit surgery center. she said it’s possible (again, we don’t know specifics) that All underwent a procedure that has a lower probability of success and higher risk of re-injury than what M docs are comfortable with. She said that there is not strong evidence that many lower back surgical procedures produce a superior result for young football players and there is some evidence to suggest a greater risk of re-injury or other complications. Again, we don’t know his specific injury, but among the lower back injuries most common for college football players. 
 

This is a tough position to maintain a lot of maturity. Speaking as a former Big Ten athlete who had injuries, I can tell you this is a lot different than the maturity it takes to keep your head in a tough road game.
 

Medicine is incredibly complex and docs, especially surgeons, are not often great at communicating the risks and probabilities. Couple that with a possible strong sales pitch coming from a place that sees a business opportunity, but are still board certified docs too, it’s a tough place to know what is right. Erick and his family, might see their future in Erick’s health and that level of emotion makes it really hard to know who is looking out for your best interests and who is not to be trusted. Especially if IF one side is telling you that you haven’t been taken the best care of and they are willing to do what others won’t to fix you. To top it off, it could work, lower probability and higher risk doesn’t guarantee it won’t work. That’s a difficult uncertainty to live with. 

As always, thanks for the info GoJ!

Although I will say it's an interesting place to put it, as opposed to a number of other program specific posts.
