October 17, 20214 yr Until people stop beating off to the “we are Texas” mantra and give someone more than 4 years to erode the apathetic culture that has a stranglehold on the program, nothing will change. It’s funny how all these coaches forget how to coach once they get here. The list goes on and on of guys who are lauded as a great hire and halfway through their 1st season they are dog shit and need to be canned. There are only 3 coaches with staying power in recent memory that have taken over big programs that weren’t good recently prior to their arrival, and turned it around instantly. Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban. You could even throw in Bob Stoops. Tope Imade, and bless his heart because I wish him the best, is the epitome of why this program is where it is.

This is true. I don't think Charlie Strong, bless his heart, is the guy we wanted to keep around for a long time. I think Herman was rubbing too many people the wrong way, to include recruits, although he might round into a decent HFC some day. We don't have enough information on Sarkisian yet to conclude anything. It is easy to draw some alarming parallels, though. They are just that, parallels, analogies. They don't really mean shit. We're probably going to have to sit around and take some lumps, no matter who we hire.

October 17, 20214 yr Bill Snyder, Houston Nutt, Jim Tressel, Gene Chizik, and Larry Coker are all available.
October 17, 20214 yr Listen here, you fuckheads. The #1 reason we lost, both today and last week, is because these guys have not had a good coaching staff tell them what to do for 5 years straight. Neither okie lite nor OU have had this issue. They have good staffs, and consistency, for the past half decade. Changing coaches now just digs us deeper, even if Sark is not the guy.

I would wager that 90% of the people responding this thread are just joking. It’s a bullshit hypothetical. But anyone who thinks the shit ass play calling in the second half of both these games didn’t have a large factor in the outcome is a dumbass.

We can make him an offer once he's done working out of the Oval Office. OHHH ba-doom-cha /cr 100% would be happy with Franklin. Liked him since Vandy (although I wanted Andersen more than him, so my judgment isn't perfect). I think we need a proven HC with a track record more than a coordinator with big ideas and hype.

October 17, 20214 yr Last week during the first half a lot of you were calling Sark the greatest coach Texas has had since Royal. By the end of the game you wanted to fire him. At least you’re consistent.

We will win all of our games by last second TDs, but we will somehow win.

October 17, 20214 yr So many retread names in these threads, always. Traylor has been the answer since before Herman. What does "We're Texas" even mean if we just follow the crowd and hire like everybody else does? Oh here's a bright shiny object who rode a hot QB to some big wins! Hire him! Oh, he sucks. Wait, here's a different bright shiny object who rode a hot QB to some big wins! Hire him! Well, he sucks too. Wait, here's another sort of bright and not as shiny object who the adults in the room think is a genius, but he's had personality issues and has enjoyed the most success as a coordinator for one of the all-time juggernauts of the sport....Eh, hire him, I guess... Jury is out.... But we've had a natural born dynastic HFC of the University of Texas right under our noses but the people in charge were too fucking cowardly to make that bold move. I've put it out there a few times over the years and been roundly abused by the "smart posters" on these boards whose only real answer as to why we haven't done this is "you're stupid" (directed at me) and "Texas just doesn't hire guys like that," because of his lack of his experience. Well, he has the experience now. He's shown that creating a HS dynasty in East Texas and maintaining it for 15 fucking years might equate to coaching acumen on the level of Tom Herman's or Charlie Strong's. He's nailed recruiting wherever he's been (relative to the prestige of the job) and he hails from the most vital region of our state, football-wise. And while he was here, he delivered the goods out of East Texas, unlike Herman, who most certainly did not lock down H-Town like his fraud-ass ice-grill mouth promised. I am not sure if UTSA is not better than us right fucking now. And what were the recruiting rankings of those classes he's working with there? Probably 50s at best. He gets his players to overachieve. For the better part of 20 years our recruits have made a mockery of the concept of recruiting rankings, period. I still think Sark could get us out of this rut but I sadly believe we missed out on hiring the next Darrell Royal because our AD and yes, our fanbase, are too unwilling to make or sign on to a bold move.

And if not on the next play, run it again. You saw what happened on 3rd and 1 right? That's exactly why they called 2nd and 1 that way. Get the ball away from your problem to someone out in space who usually can make a play. OSU was blowing our line up play after play. We just trotted off our starting center. OSU is playing off the ball. The problem wasn't the playcall the problem was the execution. Casey, instead of putting the ball right on the receiver where he has time to stick his foot in the ground and make a man miss, leads the receiver right into the incoming tackle. Here it is for you to see. 2:14.10 mark if it doesn't load at the spot. Then on 3rd and 1 the end clearly crashes on the read play, but instead of Thompson taking it outside like he is supposed to he decides to go inside where traffic is. On 4th and 3 as soon as he starts to scramble his eyes are down. If not he sees the easy dump to Brewer for a 1st. Casey was clearly rattled. The calls weren't the problem.

But then again, he is financially invested.
