Who could we realistically hire tomorrow if Sark was hypothetically fired?

    7 games into a tenure and already people want to write him off. This is why people hate Texas, our fans are either ignorant blowhards or oblivious dilettantes 0 in between.

Say Sark posts 3 straight 7-5 seasons...would you want to keep him around for 3 more years after that?

of course not.

at this point, part of the lure might be to prove that any coach, even a bad coach is going to get an extended period of time (and be left alone) to fix things. I don't think our program is half-way as bad to coaches as other say but the narrative is out there (read any of the The Athletic articles that interviews coaches, agents etc about various programs) and we have to combat that.

Beat me to it.

Sark isn't gone tomorrow. Let's be realistic.

We'll keep him on payroll for 3 years, despite him being a garbage HC.

Then we'll gamble with another HC rather than paying for stability, and continue our fade into mediocrity.

It would be nice to see a coach come in and coach his team above their talent level like we see other coaches do elsewhere.

Purely hypothetical? Like if Sark were struck by lightning tomorrow?

At this point I would hire Kiffin for the memes. If we are going to suck the exact same way no matter who our coach is at least hire someone who will provide for hilarity off the field.

Not that Texas could hire him tomorrow.  But I have wanted Texas to hire Gundy for a while now.  Proven winner in the Big 12.  Main draw back is his record against OU.  But clearly better than any coach we have had in 15 years.

We’d never take the chance here but Traylor will be somewhere in 5 years making us regret not doing it when we could. 

Write off this year, see what happens next.

Yes, I know that doesnt appease the people who want heads to roll right away, but changing coaches every 3-4 years is not a recipe for success. If you think it is, please provide examples..I'll hang up and listen.

Oh, and I'm drunk just like the rest of you degenerates, took me two minutes to type this up without looking like a fucking retard.

His teams always fade when it really matters, hard pass.

Next?

All of our problems are fixable. Sark by the worst is a decent coach and we have a solid staff. Firing him before we enter the SEC would be stupid and set us back yet again. Delete this thread

Gary Gibbs -> Howard Schnellenberger ->John Blake ->Bob Stoops

Fuck it hurt me to type that.

It’s time for us fans to just move on and not live and breathe this shit, it’s not healthy. Just find other shit to do on Saturday’s stay off your phone and enjoy the weather/family whatever. Embrace the apathy and it’ll make your weekends more enjoyable. 

I say that at this point, maybe it ain't them, it's us.

We aren’t going to be in the Big 12 anymore lol

Also Alabama. It doesn't work until it does. 

Jimmy Johnson. Pay him $100M and give him the keys to do whatever the fuck he wants now that NIL is legal. His motivation to overshadow Jerry and the Boys as the most successful program in Texas is all the motivation he needs.

Pure fantasy and will never happen but it’s funny to think about.

So who's the next cockgobbler out there without actually being THE cockgobbler who's more than happy spending his retirement stuttering in front of tv cameras?

Just like when Sark was hired last year, there are no realistic, surefire homerun hires available..and if there were they would turn down a program willing to fire a coach after one season.

I literally said “we should have just kept Herman and ash one more year”..

 

and I meant it. Fuck you sark.

I believe Art Briles is available.

maybe Aranda.  agree that baby stoops is probably going to end up being a good coach.

I'd still go get Fickell.

Holy fuck this thread.  Shut down the whole football board

Traylor?

That's who I wanted before the Urban fiasco. Still think Sark is an elite QB, OL, and DC from being a CFP team. At this point, Texas just needs to stick with someone and ride it out. This team's biggest problem is playing in 2-3 different schemes, and a mishmash of players not recruited for the present scheme. The last two losses are teams with inferior talent but coaching continuity.

Obviously not.  But we can dream.

Well, since everyone likes to claim BUT WHAT ABOUT SABAN for Herman and then Sarkisian’s records… 

 

BUT WHAT ABOUT BAMA. They went through something like  5 in 20 years before landing Saban.

I submit to you

Mike Dubose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Shula........Nick Saban

if you get to use the outlier as an example i can easily reply with the tired example of saban going 6-6 his first year at bama.

At this point I am ready to hire Matthew McConaughey and just tell him to act like a head coach. I bet his second half adjustments couldn’t be any worse.
