Hell, yes! Sark, you glorious bastard!

Most new coaches keep their honeymoon going until their first loss on the field. Sark is way ahead of schedule......not in a good way

Cross her off then.

Would it be a dick move to tweet at him when he changes his profile picture with longhorn stuff that we look forward to his resignation before showing up at the 40?

On the one hand who gives a shit about the LB coach on an otherwise pretty solid staff?  On the other, holy fuck that's some bad judgement.  Like head still in the whiskey jug bad judgement.

Yes, which makes it more egregious. It is like owning a restaurant and hiring OJ to work the valet stand.

I can't believe this shit. In what universe is "we'll let Coleman Hutzler walk to make room for Mike Stoops" considered anything other than complete insanity? Even if he wasn't a Stoops, even if he had never coached at OU, he's still an absolute prick with a TON of skeletons in his closest. On top of that, he's utter dog shit as a coach. This is an abject failure of a hire. It will (and should) completely flip the fanbase's view on Sark. Unbelievable. 

Guess every HC thinks they're a fucking genius.  Hutzler getting released for this is a wtf moment.  Wonder what Pete K thought or if he had a say?  Maybe Sark just got tired of the process and grabbed for low hanging fruit.

Until I see us on the field next year nothing is going to flip my view of Sark. Which is that he has proven nothing at Texas and has yet to coach a game. We can evaluate staff hires all day long - ultimately it comes down to the product on the field. We won a national title with Greg Davis calling plays. Herman had a couple of great recruiting classes and overhauled his staff after 3 years and it wound up being the same old shit again. 

Is Mike Stoops a bad hire? Yes, probably. Does it make me clutch my pearls and weep for our future? Not really, because I don't know what our future under Sark looks like and have zero data points so far. If Sark sinks we now have exhibit A. If he swims then fuck it, Mike Stoops is our linebackers coach I guess. 

It is certainly a strange hire that is going to piss a lot of people off. I guess I'd be more pissed off if Sark was coming off of a 7-6 season or if he had made other poor staff hires. 

This was the only exception for the no Fire Coach XYZ threads.

What a kick in the dick. Good thing I didn’t send in that $500k capital gift plus $5k per seat yet.

Just when I thought Sark might work out, he goes and hires a fucking Stoops.   Fuck him and fuck this program, if he sticks.  I'm fucking furious.

Either that or the bammer 9.95’s are trolling us late on a Thursday night. 

Seems more likely that we're being trolled, imho. One asshole out there is making this claim. I'll wait til it's official before I freak out.

This is not the first thread title I wanted to see when opening surly this morning.

What the fuck?

What recruits/players will even listen to this washed up coach??  Think about it -- the gooners fired his ass after TEXAS kicked it all over the field.

How the Hell does CDC and Sark expect this shit to fly??

Bob Stoops did not fire his brother Mike. Lincoln Riley fired Mike Stoops after the Texas game in 2018. He waited too long...should have fired him after the Rose Bowl semifinal game with Georgia

Well at least I'll be able to check out and focus on other shit until the season starts if Sark hired this worthless fuck

Edited by Bevo14

The only way this makes sense of if coach Kwak signed off on it. 

It was already weird that almost the entire defensive staff was hired before the DC.  You'd think he'd be able to choose at least one of his own guys.

Right. Bob didn't have to give his blessing before the 2018 season that Mike was to be judged on performance. Ok.

We celebrated when he was brought back to Norman. Acting like people would hate the hire only because of his name is dumb.

I assumed Bob quit because he didn't have the balls to take Fredo out in the row boat?

That was rumored to be part of it, but I don't think it was a major factor. He was done. 

But he absolutely was why Riley kept him on. And once he wasn't protecting Mike anymore it was over.

I’ve sat thru and lived through some absurd and awful moments in my time as a Texas fan since 1990. 

Multiple 50 point losses to OU. 
Route 66.
The entire clown show that was Charlie Strong. 
Watching a third-rate self-proclaimed Mensa tell me that winning is hard when slovenly late era Mack Brown could still post up and win 8 in his sleep, while said third rate dipstick engages in one FG games with Kansas...
I say all this to let you know, I’ve been a fan for a long time. 
Last night was the lowest point of my fandom. Mike Stoops?!?!?!?!  You cannot be serious. What a tone-deaf awful decision to make. Is Sark back on the sauce? Is there not a single dipstick in the entire athletic department that can sit down with him and explain why this hire is dogshit terrible?
I hope you and a Sark realize he just made his job infinitely harder.
When we look back at the failed Sark regime, that will likely take CDC with it, this will be the inflection point when he pissed away all his good will needlessly. 
Goodness gracious you group of clowns. You just couldn’t take the win and instead had to shoot off your foot with absurd self-inflicted buffoonery for no dang reason. 
It’s a stunning display of ineptitude and I won’t shed one tear when the hangman comes for you arrogant people who didn’t step out in front of this abject stupidity. 

Why no fire Sark thread?  Waiting for official confirmation?

Saban to Sark:  “Because I like you, I will allow you to take Banks, Flood and Milwee.  However, the price is you have to take Stoops”
