Damn man...card throws a pretty ball

I have a sneaking suspicion Card is going to be our guy next year. If we go into next season with Sark saying things like "We may play both of them" then you know Card will be the guy while they try to keep Thompson from hitting the portal.

IT team notes

Spoiler

Seasoned offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter will return for his fifth year. He’ll compete at right tackle. We’ll try to go deeper into detail on the offensive line later in the week.

Three 2020 opt-outs have returned too: Jack OLB Marqez Bimage, RB Daniel Young, and WR Dajon Harrison are with the team. IT has reported on the first two, but I’m not sure on Harrison. The young receiver is back, though.

Brief team meeting on Sunday: It was only about 15 minutes with the topic being getting back on track after last week’s severe interruption. The team will likely make up for a couple of lost workouts.

Team run: When you hear ‘team run’ you think of a long, military style jog. Team run at Texas means the team is going over plays, holding short meetings, then heading to the bubble for a warm up, change of direction/agility drills, special teams walk through, then splitting into teams and working on alignments and calls, before finally finishing with sprints. (They haven‘t run anything over 40 yards as far as I know)

Workouts: Monday/Wednesday/Friday are more sprint, flexibility, and agility intensive, followed by some lighter lifting. A lot of these workouts are designed to improve balance, planting, shifting weight, etc. It’s working on committing common football movement patterns to muscle memory. Tuesday/Thursday are the much greater lifting workload.

This team is anxious for spring ball.

(Scipio Tex) That time when Steve Sarkisian turned down the Oakland Raiders head coaching job

Spoiler

It was 2007 and Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders had a problem. A once fabled franchise had become a league laughing stock.

The Raider Way was failing and a once innovative, rebellious, think-outside-the-box franchise had turned into an Al Davis personality cult of Yes Men, idiots, and perpetual litigation.

The Oakland Raiders were coming off of a 2-14 season under head coach Art Shell (and had won only 15 games in the prior 4 seasons) and badly needed a change. The inept Shell had lured his last offensive coordinator, Tom Walsh, from retirement running a bed and breakfast in Idaho, star receiver Randy Moss was in open rebellion against the stupidity of the organization (in the building, Raider execs told everyone that Moss "was done" -- enter a grinning Bill Belichick), and Al Davis ignored his scouting department, blindly drafting the fastest 40 times he could find at the NFL combine.

Al Davis, once the primary architect of the Raiders success, was now the organization's primary problem. But Al knew he had to make a change. Having enjoyed success with young coaches before (John Madden, Jon Gruden), Davis decided it was time to inject youth, enthusiasm, and forward-thinking into the building. At least to the extent that Al Davis could stomach it. A head coach taking the spotlight from Davis was always forbidden in Oakland.

Al Davis wanted Steve Sarkisian.

Sarkisian had impressed the Raiders in his one year stint as QB coach for the Raiders in 2004, with the Raiders passing game performing admirably despite very mediocre talent (Kerry Collins QB, Jerry Porter and Doug Gabriel were the leading WRs). Sarkisian had restored Collins' shaky confidence, fixed his mechanics, and contributed substantially to passing game coordination.

Sark left the Raiders quickly (and diplomatically) to return to USC when he realized the level of dysfunction in Oakland, but no bridges were burned.

Davis instructed a trusted subordinate, Jon Kingdon, to contact and interview Sarkisian informally. The idea was to catch him unaware and get the real Sark. Kingdon prepared a list of questions and got ahold of Sarkisian while he was commuting in LA traffic. Kingdon grilled Sark about what he thought was wrong with the Raiders, his philosophies, his desired coaching staff, and how Oakland might be restored to greatness.

Whether due to inexperience, candor, or not giving a damn, Sark didn't ask for an opportunity to gather his thoughts or delay so that he could prepare more formally. He just held forth off the top of his head. A dangerous proposition with an organization that had more pride and ego than brains and humility.

And Sark nailed it.

That he had done so with no preparation blew away both Kingdon and Davis and they flew him in for two formal interviews. Sarkisian knocked those out of the park as well.

Al Davis had found his next head coach. He was effusive about what Sarkisian would bring. Steve Sarkisian was going to restore Raider greatness!

For a perfunctory third and final interview, Sarkisian brought with him his prospective offensive coordinator, a 31 year old USC assistant named Lane Kiffin.

In that final meeting, Davis informed Sark that he'd have to retain the subpar Rob Ryan as DC and mentioned several other Raider assistant mainstays he'd like to see retained. That was how Al did it - hide his asks, dangle the carrot, then bring out his demands late. Sark consented but asked to meet with each of them individually to make sure they were all fits. A reasonable request, but one that angered Davis. Al was vouching for them. That should be enough!

Nonetheless, Davis was smitten with the straight-talking Sarkisian. The job was offered. It was now just a matter of formalizing it, hammering out a contract, and getting it done.

Sarkisian reflected on that final meeting and began to have cold feet. I believe that, after extended exposure to Davis, Sarkisian realized that Davis' supposed desire to change was shallow and insincere. The analytical side of Davis knew it was necessary, but his ego would not obey once Sark was bound to the Raiders contractually. Interference from Al and the organization's famous entrenched yes men would sabotage him at every turn. Even though Sark knew he had several allies in the building, particularly in the scouting department.

Sark wanted to buy time and get more concessions from Davis before accepting. So he made himself unavailable, citing the need to attend to USC's National Signing Day. Making yourself unavailable is not something you do to Al Davis.

In contrast, Lane Kiffin made himself available to every Raider call and began to insinuate himself into the process beyond simply acting as a middle man so that Davis could get the temperature on Sark. Kiffin the climber sensed opportunity.

Finally, Sark withdrew his name altogether, classily consenting to issue a public statement that the Raiders had not formally offered him the job (they had) so that the Raider organization could save face. That's the public record today and it's false.

Who remained? Lane Kiffin.

The young prospective offensive coordinator who had come on to the Raider radar via Sarkisian. Kiffin and Sarkisian had the same agent. That agent and the opportunistic Kiffin saw their chance to grasp at the brass ring knowing that the Raiders were frustrated and out of ideas. Kiffin consented to everything Al Davis wanted, believing that once he was head coach, he could simply make the changes that he wanted.

Already weakened by Sark's rebuff and already determined that his next head coach should be young and ambitious, Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders eventually settled on the 31 year old Lane Kiffin.

It was a disaster from the opening press conference. Kiffin repeatedly called Davis "Al" (in Oakland, he is Mr. Davis or Coach Davis) and Davis referred to Kiffin as "Lance." Kiffin was immature and arrogant. Davis was petty and egotistical.

The relationship began acrimoniously, quickly turned into an intense mutual revulsion, and the Raiders continued their journey to the bottom.

The highlights along the way included Al Davis forcing Jamarcus Russell being drafted over Calvin Johnson (Megatron was the #1 player on Kiffin and the Raiders scouts board), Lane Kiffin being successfully fired with cause as Davis cleverly baited him into a series of critical public statements, and Al Davis holding a bizarre press conference in which he explained Lane Kiffin's perfidy and various betrayals via overhead projector.

It was a drama with two unsympathetic antagonists and it came to define both the backwardness of the Raiders and the do-anything, say-anything rise of Lane Kiffin.

And it all started with Texas Longhorn head coach Steve Sarkisian passing on a NFL head coaching job at 33 year of age.

He still could have been used better. Most of his production seemed to come from special teams. We should have gotten him the ball more in space.

But even looking at today's game, most OCs have a problem getting small tailbacks the ball. Most of those guys end up having to move to the slot. Exceptions generally occur because the offense has a complete team where receivers get the ball deep and linebackers are forced into coverage and running lanes open up.

Huh?
Everybody puts the best of the best online. Any drops or bad passes don't make the cut.

***Spoke with a couple sources on the locker room vibe. That was a big issue under Herman. My initial sense from folks who know Sark and have dealt with him is that he’s an incredibly down to earth and approachable guy. So, my suspicion was that the culture he’d build around the program would be closer to the culture Lincoln builds at Oklahoma and Dabo builds at Clemson.

***You can make players play well for you because they fear the consequence of not doing well or you can build a culture of love and fraternity that makes them not want to disappoint you. I always felt like Lincoln and Dabo took the latter route.

***Early on, it’s pretty clear that Sark is going to go the same route.

***I’m told in general that the players seem to view the new coaches as older brothers they looked up to and don’t want to disappoint as opposed to the previous staff who were seen as authoritarians that couldn’t relate. I certainly don’t want to say that is the personality of the previous coaches but that does seem to have been the general culture. Discipline and distance is perhaps how I’d describe it.

***The sense I’m getting is the players feel these coaches are more approachable and even flexible. In other words, rigidity isn’t the aim. Success is the aim and that requires discipline but it not all rigidity necessarily helps with the goal.

***The way it sounded to me made me think of a company like working for an oil company versus a tech company. You think of an oil company requiring you to wear a suit and work from the office and follow the rules. You think of a tech company as trying to reach a goal but not necessarily believing that wearing a suit or always working from the office matters in achieving that goal. And, if a person is more comfortable wearing jeans and a t-shirt and can get his work done effectively, then why be a stickler on a rule that doesn’t seem to impact anything other than the happiness of the worker?

***Sark is more modern, I’d say. And again, it’s similar to what we hear about OU’s program under Lincoln.

***The general sense I get is the players are much happier under this new staff.

***I did also check to see if they have started any kind of “Hell week” for the players and it sounds like they have not. Just continuing to do winter workouts and there are opportunities to do drills with the coaches. I’ll let you know what we hear about any possible stand outs.

2021 College Football Recruits Who Could Start as Freshmen

BRAD SHEPARD FEBRUARY 23, 2021

 

Ja'Tavion Sanders, Texas Athlete

f62deba4f965dfbdc6a1ea3a40288651_crop_ex

A lot of Lone Star State prospects feature on this list, but none are as highly rated as Ja'Tavion Sanders, who could become the biggest star of all.

The biggest question is at what position?

The nation's No. 12-rated player may line up all over the place. Like Ryan High School teammate Billy Bowman, who was discussed earlier, he can do a lot of things at different spots.

Sanders could replace edge-rusher Joseph Ossai and be an instant-impact star on defense. The 6'3½", 235-pounder is fast, has great length and is strong enough to blast past offensive linemen and get home to quarterbacks for a Power Five defense.

But he also has soft hands and excellent speed for his size and could line up as a tight end or H-back for coach Steve Sarkisian. Much like Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley with Bowman, Sarkisian isn't committing to playing Sanders anywhere exclusively. He may do it all.

Will it be offense or defense? "We're going to look at him at both, quite frankly," Sarkisian told reporters.

When your coach says that, there's a good chance you're going to start somewhere.

Texas Football: Underclassmen who are expected to play a big role in 2021

Shane Carter   February 23, 2021 

The Texas football program has already had plenty of storylines this year with the hiring of new head coach Steve Sarkisian, players such as DeMarvion Overshown, Joshua Moore, and Bijan Robinson being mentioned for collegiate award watch lists, and of course the 2022 recruiting class momentum.

For the 2021-22 season, there’s going to be several roles open for grabs, both for starters and for second-team/rotational players. Given how the team is going to have a highly viewed quarterback battle between Casey Thompson and Hudson Card, as well as seeing eight former players enter the 2021 NFL draft, who’s going to have the biggest impact this upcoming year is a bit of a mystery right now with a new head coach at the helm.

Texas is going to have to rely on several young players to contribute this upcoming season. We’re all aware of the talent and expectations surrounding running back Bijan Robinson, but here are seven second-year players that we can expect to play in key roles for 2021.

Bijan Robinson, RB

Bijan Robinson is the most obvious on this list. Despite splitting time with Roschon Johnson, he totaled 703 yards rushing in limited playing time, including an impressive 355 yards and four touchdowns in his final two games of the season.

Expect him to still split time with Johnson, but don’t be surprised if Robinson usurps Johnson as the primary back under Sarkisian.

Andrej Karic, LT

After Samuel Cosmi opted out and Derek Kerkstteter suffered an injury against Kansas State, Andrej Karic had to step in as a true freshman. He earned his first start against Colorado in the Alamo Bowl and played well. About as well as you can expect a high school All-American to do.

He’s looking like not only a key contributor for Texas, but the starting left tackle which is even more important. Regardless of who wins the quarterback battle, it will be Karic who will be protecting their blindside.

Jake Majors, C

Jake Majors is in a similar boat as Karic. As a true freshamn, he started in the final two games of the season against KSU and Colorado. What’s great about them is that in those two games, it saw the Johnson/Robinson duo run for 321 yards and six touchdowns and 215 yards and two touchdowns respectively.

He, along with Karic, are going to come into a new-look offensive line with plenty of skill and hype around them, especially Majors as their man in the middle.

Troy Omiere, WR

It shouldn’t be a shock if Joshua Moore is the top receiver for the Longhorns this season after he lead the team in receiving yards, receptions, and touchdowns last year. However, don’t be surprised if the 6-3, 230-pound former four-star wide receiver, Troy Omiere, factors in as one of the team’s preferred passing options and takes over as the starter at the X.

It’s all based on expectations, but Omiere performed well throughout fall camp last offseason and was expected to surpass Brennan Eagles on the depth chart prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury. It’s more than ok to be excited about the possibilities with Omiere.

Kelvontay Dixon, WR

Kelvontay Dixon can best be described in one word — speed. He was a Texas high school track and field athlete who competed for state. As a football player, he’s reminiscent of Jaylen Waddle, a speed demon who Steve Sarkisian helped propel to immense success. As we all know, Sarkisian values speed.

Dixon likely will have to start off as the fifth wide receiver on the depth chart, but expect him to be used as the teams top deep threat and even on special teams as a returner. Just don’t be surprised if you see fire coming out from under his feet.

Vernon Broughton, DL

Vernon Broughton was one of the team’s top high school recruits to come in last season. However, after only appearing in three games last year,  Broughton is going to have higher expectations heading into year two.

Whether or not he starts still remains to be seen, but even in rotation he will be needed for the Longhorns defense that’s going to be without Joseph Ossai. Broughton could be in good position to help fill the voids left behind from Ossai and Ta’quon Graham.

Alfred Collins, DL

If there’s any underclassmen on the defensive side that has high expectations, it’s Alfred Collins. As a physical force that can rotate from the nose to the 3-technique tackle positions, Collins made the most of his limited time on the field as a true freshman with 18 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a pair of passes broken up. There should be more output with Collins as a virtual lock as a starter this season.

Collins could end up being the best player on this list by the end of next season. He, like Bijan Robinson, made the most of his limited time as a full-time player and has the potential to become a member of the All-Big 12 team.

I think IT specifically said that his best position in this defense was actually LB. Agree, sure seems like that's the direction his body is taking.

Sark getting paid........

Texas football: Steve Sarkisian's unprecedented contract features some incredible perks (msn.com)

The Texas Longhorns fired Tom Herman and ushered in a new era after hiring former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian as their new head coach. A season and national championship run with the Tide was all it took to rehabilitate Sarkisian's image after his stints with the Atlanta Falcons and USC Trojans didn't go so well.

 

The Longhorns got their man in Sarkisian but at what cost? Details of Sarkisian's unprecedented contract are emerging and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of commas.

Details regarding Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian's contract

According to the Texas Tribune, Sarkisian's guaranteed compensation will be approved by the UT Board of Regents later this week and it's unlike anything the program has ever seen. Sarkisian's contract is reportedly worth at least $5 million more than Herman's contract and $10 more than Charlie Strong.

The six-year contract worth almost at least almost $35 million. Sarkisian will make $5.2 million in his first season and is guaranteed a $200,000 raise each year. His contract also includes two dealership cars, 20 hours of private airplane use per year and a $250,000 relocation and temporary housing allowance.

If that wasn't enough, he'll also be the recipient of a one-time payment of $1.2 million if he is still head coach on Dec. 31, 2024. All funds will come from Texas Athletics, whose budget includes revenue from multiple sources including licensing, broadcasting rights, ticket sales, and donors.

Talk about a payday.

Hopefully, the funds and perks provided to Sarkisian will result in wins for the Texas football program in the near future. They certainly have a ton of questions to answer heading into the spring and as details of this contract emerge, the expectations are sure to be grand.

None of this is significant "news." And it is all much less than the Urban Meyer rumors (not that I believe there was ever any fact to those numbers).

Yeah that article was written like author was an aggy or gooner... Sark's contract is not some ridiculous amount like what was rumored for Urban as coach at TEXAS.  

Sark's Base Deal

  • 2021 - $5.2 million
  • 2022 - $5.4 million
  • 2023 - $5.6 million
  • 2024 - $5.8 million
  • 2025 - $6 million
  • 2026 - $6.2 million

 

(Tom Herman's compensation:  $6 million in 2020; $6.25 million in 2021; $6.5 million in 2022; and $6.75 million in 2023.)

Looks like a Bentley if I am seeing the logo on the wheels correctly. Around $200K, but I hear Banks talked them down to $25K

Need to put Huffy in charge of vehicle procurement.

At first glance I thought the logo on the hood was a Bentley, and I was about to seriously question whether Banks was dependent on the bag for recruiting.  But upon closer inspection it appears like it might be a Hyundai Genesis, in which case I would think he’s a genius.  

I think you are right about the Genesis. I have a lot of respect for that (vs Bentley). Probably a very nice car and no reason to piss away money like it’s growing on trees.

Let’s be real, a young guy in his exact situation who makes rain as a recruiter might have things in his closet that could affect his employment in the future. Kudos to him for living sensibly. I realize we are talking about a high worth individual who married a stripper with a pet monkey.
