[Surly Official] Year One expectations for Steve Sarkisian

Beat OU.

Make it to the Big 12 championship game.

Those should be the expectations for any coach, every year.

A win against OU and a spot in the CCG. Beating OU twice would be...

Beat TCU and ISU

  Beat the meth heads.  Beat the cockroaches.  Win the b12.  

No more games where your QB is the short yardage back. 

Edited by Brothahorn

My expectations are modest for now. Let’s go with winning all out of conference games. And not losing to TCU. 

Beating OU is always the main objective but I'm not seeing it as make or break for year 1 of Sark. 

I would say:

- Start/go 3-0 in noncon 

- beat TCU's bitchass 

- at least keep the OU game competitive if we don't win 

- no more than 2 losses in conference play - which should get us to Arlington 

10-3 or 11-2 depending on B12 CCG result is acceptable for me. 9-3 with no trip to Arlington might be cause for concern because this roster is in win-now shape. Anything past that is gravy.

Going undefeated in conference is modest? We haven't done that since 2009.

#2 recruiting class and convincing win over bama in NCG 🤘

Okay, maybe #2 recruiting class and 10 wins

No more 4th and 1 snaps to a qb 5 yards deep and just run.  7 yards for 1 yard

Non-conf games

Get the ball to your best players with calls that aren’t stupid.  Don’t make game management decisions that reduce your chance to win.  Get a real OL coach.   Stay sober.

Make the CCG. Top 5 recruiting class.

This CC should be realistic based on the young talent on display in the Alamo Bowl.

Make us proud.  Don’t be a douche.  

I'm tired of rebuilding, I'm tired of wandering the wilderness, We need to play for a Big 12 CCG every year including year 1

He gets dkr to serve McRibs.

the rest I’ll wait till I see who his stuff will be. If he is hearts and hugs hires his bffs we will go 7-5. If he hires a bad ass staff 10-2 or 9-3 is doable.

10-2 regular season 

beat 0u

win bowl game 

<5 wtf moments

OU is a top 3 team next season. We have the type of roster to compete with them though. That game will let us know early where we are.

NY6 Bowl berth and a top 5 2022 recruiting class.

NSD 2 gonna be lit, yall

IDC if he's working for Alabama another 9 days, he needs to start building relationships with Texas players TODAY otherwise I expect Texas players to hit the portal between now and next Monday

Also be a pipe hitting gangster that fucks feelings in the face. No mercy no best friend turtle dildo marching shit. Instill a culture of hatred of anyone in a diff color Jersey during game time. Be buddies before ans after the game. Shake hands but during the game fucking blood everywhere 

Win out in Non-conference and play in the Big 12 title game

Maybe he can get Nick to make a few calls for him.

Do not lose to Maryland

Just put the best players on the field and stay on the gas. He will recruit well, and I expect we are competing for championships in year two.

Holy shit the expectations in this thread are ridiculous. We have some really good talent but we also have a lot of holes on the roster, and a bunch of unknowns. That bowl game made a lot of guys look better than they are, including Casey. 
If he goes 9-3 and recruits lights out it will be a great year, yet y’all will be bitching and moaning because he didn’t meet your dumb expectations.

Fuck it.  11-1 regular season. Our OOC schedule is weak.  OU should be very good, but we have way more talent than everyone else in the conference.

Unless he reloads with a big new coach bump recruiting class, 2022  could be dicey as the roster could be more questionable once the 2018 class loses more guys like Overshown, Coburn, Jamison, etc., and the schedule will be a lot tougher with Bama.   But we’re still set up well for 2021.  We should compete for the Big 12 championship and a playoff spot with good coaching.  

Don’t forget the one time transfer rule. We should be able to get what we need.
