Almost as unceremonious as his past 2 victories to finish off the season, Tom "the turtle" Herman has been removed as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. 
 
We don't really wish you anything, but to get the hell out of here Tom.

I just want to know how Bijan feels about the hire. Please don't enter the portal, if he does it's officially a disaster.

CDC hitched his wagon to Sark?  Sark after Dark?  He better hope the guy is a homerun success.  Anything less, he goes down, too.

Eltife/Hartzell hooked their wagons to Sark. Del Conte was a passenger.

Sark will need a 24/7 handler-driver

I’ll take it.

Tom was an asshole. Not just in his pressers. I had a player as an intern his first year. Dude had to hold his breath when we talked about Herman.

I will also take the guy who has been with Saban watching how the most elite program works...and helping it.

Now, let’s see what happens on the field...but I’m on board right now.

And Hermann didn't coach under Urban Meyer?  Man y'all are reaching.

Whoever the new HC is, if we kept Herman all this time, we better be announcing him today so he can immediately talk to the players and try to keep attrition to a minimum. If it’s Sark then I guess he’s ditching Bama before the title game like Kiffin did. It doesn’t make much sense to me. If we’ve kept Herman this long then why not wait another week until Sark wins a title as Bama’s OC and then announce the hiring/firing? What difference does a week make at this point? 

It might be because Herman already has accepted another job.

Saban hires Herman as his new OC, grooms him to take over the program

I’m relieved it’s not Kelly but disappointed it’s not Meyer. 
 

I wonder if he’s getting pressure from BMD’s to keep some of the current staff (Ash and some of his assistants, Carrington).

He’s talking about the 22 class, not the 21 class, and Sark is a lights out recruiter. That’s the most guaranteed thing about him.  He will absolutely save the 22 class compared to keeping Herman.

Only Drayton and maybe Hurzeler (depending on the DC hire) are safe.

USC still had a limited roster due to sanctions when he was there

Petersen didn't take over a Washington team that had gone 0-12 the prior year 

So if we were 0-12 Sark would be a good hire?

Which coach do we hire to go from 7-3 to 10-0 and win a few conference championships?

Anyone short of Urban was going to feel like a disappointment. Urban was the home run hire, with Sark it will depend entirely on the staff he can put together before we can see how excited we should get

This is true. Your administration selling out to the whims of rich assholes leads you to this. You need real leadership hiring a real coach and letting him have the proper time to do his job. 

Right now you're a 3rd tier program. 3 teams are tier 1, a few tier 2, and you and a bunch of others tier 3. Top players mostly don't want to do tier 3. Unless you start using that money you supposedly have and start paying them off.

The fact a bunch of dip shits on the internet think this is a bad hire probably means it is a great hire. 

Problem with that statement is a bunch of dip shits on the internet thought Herman was a potentially bad hire when he was hired. Strong too.

Sarkisian, after being under Saban for a couple of years, probably has learned the kind of work ethic necessary to field great teams. He should be far more knowledgeable about both offense and defense than Herman. He and Alabama could easily be the next Nat'l Champ. 

If we couldn't get Meyer, he's a solid second choice. Far better than Kelly and the offensive shit show he gave us yesterday.

So when does the dirt come out on Herman? Seems to be a lot of smoke about issues with him and even his wife?

Hopefully Sark retains Michelle.

Herman goes on to win 10 national championships as the Alabama HC. We all die of liver failure.

Maybe, but I would think Herman’s agent would leak that’s he’s leaving for a different job rather than it being widely reported Herman’s fired. Either way, if it was Sark, I would’ve hoped we’d wait a week so he could come in immediately as Herman is let go but also be coming off a title win.

Bravo.  Extremely rational post.

Sark is the offensive equivalent of Veneables.  With boundaries, extremely competent.  However, a HC job has too many degrees of freedom for their mind to function.

Do you even fucking watch college football? Have we seen what Sark has done with Alabama’s offense compared to Saban’s earlier teams. Their offense is so much more explosive than the McElroy, McCarron era teams.The plays he has designed and called will kill at Texas. We have the head coaching and offensive mind firepower to match Riley and OU. Offensive recruits are going to cream their pants wanting to be the next Tua, Devonta or Najee. After Urban, thus us the best hire that could have been made. Team Cutty Sark here.

 

 

 

maybe the most special post of the new year so far...

 

all you need now, are about 20 5-star players...Eagles = Devonta Smith and so on.  Lulz
