you are a fucking aggy

using the word 'watershed' and taking a shot at LHN is pretty transparent dude

Yep. That's what I was saying earlier. The bullshit shot at LHN was a dead giveaway. Obvious aggy is obvious.

I believe Sark’s wife is from Houston , so there’s that. 

Sarkisian’s head coaching record is public information. But I guess he gets credit for directing a loaded Alabama offense for two years or something.

Pretty sure anyone on the night crew could call Plays and put up 30+ with that talent 

Urban
Kelly
Mullen
Fickell
Tony Elliot
Sarkisian
 
in that order imo 
So, Urban or bust?

The Nick Saban school for rehabilitation in coaching is a good school. Sarkisian could have grown up a lot. It also seems to have helped Lane Kiffin and imo Sarkisian is a better coach that Freshwater?

I’m the OP so yes. Although that list of bust are all better than Herman.

Yup, that sad list is definitely Urban Meyer or Bust.

No worries, gonna announce Urban as our head coach this week.  He'll start assembling his staff and then hire anyone from Ohio State after their playoff run is over-- which should be pretty quick from what I saw yesterday. :)

You also said it would be Herman so...

He accepted Saban as his coaching lord and savior when he joined his staff.

Once you do that, then you get that sweet Saban Christ-like absolution of coaching sin.

Lol fuck that troll. CDC isnt going fucking rogue to hire cutty sark behind the BMDs back. They won’t pay for Herman’s buyout if he did that. That’s not how any of this shit works. Also he would be an awful awful hire

Yes there are items in his post that make no sense. My initial reaction to Sark several weeks ago was negative based upon the horrific stories of his drinking. And with rumors of Herman’s drinking as well, it would seem to be a terrible choice - unless he’s truly stopped drinking and Texas feels confident he’s stopped for good. The problem with an alcoholic is that you never know. It would be a risky choice that could work out great or terribly.

The problem I have is that besides Meyer no one else excites me. I’m sure there’s someone whose really really good, but we don’t have enough visibility into the real capabilities of candidates.

I remember reading about how Riley had an incredible memory that allowed him to easily recall almost any piece of information. That is one of the reasons he’s such an innovative offensive coach. Saban personally wrote the process documentation for every single aspect of the team’s functions, by position. That is an incredible depth of knowledge.

Texas needs to be able to sift through the coaching ranks to truly understand who is special and who is just a figurehead. That espn article implies Sark might be special, but hopefully no longer comes with the drinking baggage.

This job will make Sark fall off the wagon...

Fuck me...finally posting my own shit after years of lurking.  I’ve lived in recruiting for the majority of my time here but got extremely addicted with this thread given am good friends with someone very much in the know because he’s donated quite a bit of cash for Herman’s buy-out...I’m not going in to further detail on that but Urban was real.  CDC has gone completely silent on the big donors for the last week.  None of them know what’s going on.  I got a random text from a buddy who is a sports broadcaster in the Seattle area and is family friends with Sark.  According to him Sark is announcing to Alabama tomorrow that he will be the new head coach of Texas.   No need to neg me if this doesn’t work out. It’s not at all what I want or expect.  Urban was in until last week.  That was real.  Hoping to be able to post here again if this doesn’t come to light without ridicule but his sources seem ridiculously legit.  Here’s hoping I’m wrong.  🤘

I was walking around campus yesterday and saw this guy who was clearly lost and totally wasted. I asked him if he needed help. He puked in the bushes and then said he was looking for the head coaches office. I said, "the homeless encampment is over there." He said, "I'm not homeless, I'm from Alabama." So I gave him a line of coke and a McRib and then walked him to the stadium. He said he went to LA once and everyone treated him like crap, but everyone in Austin was so nice that he was moving here for five years at $5 million per year.

I don't care if you believe me or not. It happened.

Did he ask for directions to the stadium? Did he promise to send all his progeny to UT, even though all his ancestors were Bama?

Agree.  I think it has become clear that Head coach of Texas is too much for any one person.  Everyone shits the bed once the pressure is on.  At this point we I am ok with hiring a charismatic recruiter, a media personality for press duties, star talent developers, and let Dell/Apple develop  an AI play caller.

We just wrapped a massively disappointing season while aggy overachieved relative to most expectations. Given that, plus our coaching shit show, I guess it shouldn't be shocking the aggy trolls are coming out of the woodwork.

How to spot an aggy troll starter pack:
1) new account (anywhere from October on)
2) claims to have been around a long time, but just now signed up (they think this makes it less obvious it's a new troll account)

Any of 1 or 2 combined with:
3) claims to have inside sources with details about our coaching search, but obviously can't go until detail about who those people are or why we should trust them
4) any shots about the big 12, the superiority of the sec, or aggy pulling a nc coach
5) any shots about how we can't win because of how spoiled/arrogant our program is, how soft our players are, and/or how that all ties back to being in the liberal cesspool of Austin
6) any reference to the fact that we've historically been a mediocre program with only brief periods of success
7) use of "Texas A&M" or "Aggies"

There are probably more, but most can be identified by the list above.

If you see new a poster meeting the criteria above, do yourself a favor and just ignore. Don't engage, call them out, question the validity of what they're sharing...just ignore. Nothing is more boring to a troll than being ignored.

Is this like an “you are an alcoholic if you answer ‘yes’ to at least two of the the following” quiz, because if so, I’m aggy.

That doesn't make any sense. I was told indignantly that Northwestern isn't in Chicago. He and his wife must be confused.

Actually, Larry David might be a great candidate for coach.  He deals with adversity in his shows more than anyone else.  Make him an offer.

He can co-HC with Tom Cruise. The way he ripped his Mission impossible production crew a new asshole for violating covid protocols had shades of Saban. Hell, they're even the same size. 

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/tom-cruise-rant-covid-rules-was-right-message-delivered-worst-ncna1251617

Quote

The Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise made headlines this week for allegedly berating “Mission: Impossible 7” crew members for breaking Covid-19 protocols. The audio, leaked to The Sun,a British newspaper, captured a man identified as Cruise shouting at members of the crew, “If I see you do it again, you’re f---ing gone. And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it.” It’s unclear what Covid-19 rules the crew members broke.

The filming of “Mission: Impossible 7” was halted due to Covid-19 in February, but it has since resumed shooting in Europe following appeals from Cruise. In his outburst, he also yelled about his role in getting the film industry running again. “I’m on the phone with every f---ing studio at night, insurance companies, producers!”

I do think Sark would be a good coach but he needs to show he can handle the responsibilities of a school like Colorado (that he turned down) instead of getting thrown straight into the fire at Texas or even Auburn. His alcoholism is a real issue and always will be, even if he’s sober for the next decade it will always be in the background.

Your post everyone jumped on was for saying Northwestern has a practice field on the lake in DT Chicago. Evanston is to Chicago what Cedar Park is to Austin.

Sark was drunk at booster functions, team meetings and at least one game.  There are some things that are unforgivable for coaches.  Are you willing to bet millions of dollars on him being able to keep on the straight and narrow when Saban isn't looking over his shoulder?  The babysitting the University already does for Herman is ridiculous, if a coach requires something like that, they had better win like Augie Garrido.
