Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: Keep Austin Beard
It would be pretty crazy to, in one year, replace an entire coaching staff with a better and, like, 75% of the team, as well.

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
Fuck it. All these lists of coaches are so uninspiring that not only are none of them home runs, few of them seem even better than a double. Might as well give Ivey a chance. He can start from scratch and build a new team culture with his own degree of east coast toughness and grind, backed by endorsements and buy-in of Texas' not inconsiderable NBA fraternity.

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
College basketball defies geography. Look at Gonzaga. A good coach can build a program anywhere if it has identity and buy-in. It might take longer at a place like Lubbock, but consistency can get you there. And indeed winning programs are built on three and four-star players. We should probably hope to have a coach who wisely recruits core players who will stay 3-4 years and truly create a culture and a system.

David McWilliams to Texas was a disaster.

Isn't it considered bad karma to take a coach from a school in your conference? Don't remember it working out well on most occasions?

Prysock was a promising Starfleet officer before he went rogue, now wreaking havoc amongst romulans, klingons, and mandalorians.

2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
75% Cal in the S&C assistants. Becton evidently relocated much if not all his team. Well, I know they were tough and rugged for what we normally think of Cal. Saw them upset PK's UW in 2018 and 2019. (btw it wasn't the Husky defense that failed.) That and sweeping UT in 15 and 16.

Clearly Stoops has kompromat on Sark. Using it to leverage a position on the staff.

Saban will probably hire Wade Phillips.

These are all solid points. Putting his foot down on the entitlement that has plagued Texas for ... ever. Looking for team unity. This is a culture change.

I sorta like the Saban model: Stability at HC and bring in new coordinators every few years—stepping stone for them, fresh ideas for the program.

Also, we worry about being a victim of the transfer portal. But with a glitzy new staff, I could also imagine us being a destination.

He's a total badass.

yes that seems like bullshit. but clearly sark had other good reasons. I don’t see him making frivolous Hermanesque hires. He knows better.

Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
One thing that actually gives me hope for this hire is Sark's acceptance of a challenge. I sorta follow UW football because of some friends, and I remember when Sark took that job. I was impressed because he was one of the real up-and-comers as OC at USC and had a lot of national buzz around his name. He probably could have waited for a cushier job than UW, but actually agreed to move all the way up to Seattle to take on a hapless program that hadn't won a game the previous year. I love that he didn't shy away from a massive challenge and that he seemed humble enough to leave the glamor of USC for the Pacific Northwest. Of course, he left to go back to USC, but who could blame him when that job came calling? Maybe he's excited for the challenge to try to restore a rusty formerly great program that still has a lot of upside.

Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
Yes exactly. There simply weren't many options out there with HC experience at big programs. He has the resume to be coach at Texas and has spent the last couple years learning under the best.

Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
He was considered a rising star at the time, which is why USC plucked him away.

Fuck you Tom Herman
What exactly are UT players complaining about and using to dissuade recruits?

Fuck you Tom Herman
Yes, these things are all present. I think you could put them under the header of "Misalignment." Obviously that's the opposite of what Herman preached coming in. But he has a talent for gaslighting, and preaching Alignment when in fact he seems to have no ability to enact it whatsoever is par for his course. The fact is that that, though assistant coaches and players have changed, the same problems continue to exist throughout the program. The common factor is Herman.
