January 2, 20214 yr Can you guys stop talking about Sark. I’m trying my damned hardest to block that out for a few hours and revel in the joy that Fuckface Mensa was fired. We can handwring about Sark later. Let us rejoice for a bit that Vodka Tom got what he deserved.
January 2, 20214 yr Made the decision to not renew my season tickets pretty goddamned easy. Alabama’s offense is absolutely insane and maybe he ends up being a stud, but that’s just about the least exciting hire I could have imagined.

I guess aspiring to beat Iowa State and TCU was just too much for CDC. He didn't have back to back losing seasons in Washington - taking over a team that had won a total of 12 games in the 5 years before he got there. This isn't a Charlie Strong hire.
January 2, 20214 yr Popular Post This could be an incredible hire or a spectacular failure. Getting Saban's probable successor isn't something to turn your nose up at. The problem is all of you spent over a month thinking Urban was still happening. You only have yourselves to blame.

He took over a winless Washington team and a USC team under major NCAA sanctions. At one point he only had 50 or 60 scholarships to use. He did miracles under the circumstances. He is an elite recruiter who will hire plus coaches. The downside has nothing to do with his capacity to recruit and coach. He has more upside in that capacity than anyone this side of Meyer on our list. The downside are his personal demons. Not his ability as a coach. Absolutely this. FAR more upside than any option on the table if he can handle the pressure of the job without turning back to the booze.

January 2, 20214 yr What kind of offense and defense does he run? Beer pong on offense and quarters defense.

He hasn’t had much success anywhere else. This. A lot of coaches look really good when they have a roster full of 5 stars to throw around. we hired this dumb motherfucker largely because he went 38-3 as Bama’s OC.
January 2, 20214 yr “Hey mistress (Urban), now you see I was serious about leaving my wife and you’re the only one who can prevent me from spiraling. Oh not interested now? Fuck it I don’t care I’ll do it...I’ll marry that hooker right over there I don’t give a shit.”
January 2, 20214 yr Probably the best available for immediate recruiting of the ACTUALLY AVAILABLE candidates. At the current hottest cfb program that's the best pipeline to the NFL. A gamble, but there's logic.
January 2, 20214 yr Feldman didn't confirm shit, he said Texas is looking closely at Sark. Also, I don't want FCB to blow his perfect record.
January 2, 20214 yr Just now, Skipper said: Absolutely this. FAR more upside than any option on the table if he can handle the pressure of the job without turning back to the booze. If he could handle the pressure, he never would have become a drunk in the fucking first place.

January 2, 20214 yr Del Conte wanted to hire a coach he'd have leverage over. Wasn't happening with Urb. Sark will be paid less and have strict wording in his contract to keep him in line. Small buyout ect. Sark willing to accept cause of opportunity to be HC of blue blood.

The problem is all of you spent over a month thinking Urban was still happening. You only have yourselves to blame. Agree with this. This may be Pete Carroll 2.0 when everyone lost their shit over hiring him at USC. i actually like Sark as the number two option to Urban. I think he will go toe to toe with Riley pretty well, Brian Kelley would have been Riley's dick warmer.
January 2, 20214 yr 28 minutes ago, Burt Macklin said: This is either going to be amazing or absolutely terrible. There is no in between. Well there's David McWilliams and John Mackovic. He's not necessarily going to be as bad as Charlie Strong. But there's no reason to think he will be as successful as Fred Akers, Mack Brown or Tom Hermann. Absolutely no reason.

January 2, 20214 yr On the positive side, Sark is supposed to be beloved by his players. And the UT players almost uniformly despised Tom and I bet a bunch more were hitting the transfer portal during the offseason.

Pretty sure you could have imagined a less exciting hire.
January 2, 20214 yr A bunch of players coming out in support of Carrington. Not a whole lot of support for Herman - though a few former players have offered a 'thanks' on twitter.
January 2, 20214 yr Hate this hire. But I liked the last two hires, so I’m conflicted about my own feelings and what they mean
January 2, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, Rip76 said: That’s not good. It should be. Any offensive skill players should applaud this if it's true.

If he is an alcoholic, he was born that way and he would have flamed out whether coaching the Huskies, Trojans, or your kid's pop warner team. Alcoholics aren't "driven to drinking" by pressure. They're driven to drink by their own biology and physiology.
January 2, 20214 yr Looking at former players twitter it doesn't seem there's a lot of love lost for Tom. Many current players are in shock though.
January 2, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, Horn80 said: If he could handle the pressure, he never would have become a drunk in the fucking first place. Not true. Hire aside, this isn’t correct unless it was surly humor. In that case, carry on.
