October 26Oct 26 I dont think NIL has changed the issue of getting recruits into ND academically. That at least is the public complaint that is made. Also didn't he already supposedly interview elsewhere once?

The Titans are dead last in the NFL scoring 13.7 points per game. Surely Sarkisian can score 14 points per game in the NFL?

October 27Oct 27 9 hours ago, SarkAfterDark said: Back to back playoff appearances with a team that is currently 6-2 and while ugly still in playoff contention and some of you are ready to move on? I mean did some of you just become fans in 2020? We should have expected this team to take a step back due to lack of experience on both sides of the ball. It’s generally a young team. A lot of the blame for this season so far does lay at Sark’s feet but thinking we’ll get lucky and hire someone that can put the icing on the cake Sark baked seems like a pretty lofty expectation to me. Exactly the same sorts of posts were made about Mack Brown while our football program circled and ultimately went down the drain. Zero of these on field issues are new ones for Sark. Let me list then because its clear you and all then people repping your post are unaware. 1) The is the second 5* QB in a row who has clearly regressed during his time at Texas. 2) Consistent red zone issues during his entire tenure at Texas. 3) Consistent 3rd quarter production issues his entire tenure at Texas. 4) Consistent running game issues save when there was an RB who should have won a Heisman playing for him. He didnt win due to lack of Consistent usage of his talents. 5) Consistent pass protection issues throughout his entire tenure. 6) Consistent losses to teams of equal or greater talent. By Consistent I mean he is 1-7. That's true not just for his time at Texas but throughout his entire head coaching career. 7) Complete bungling of Offense line recruiting, development, portal funds and ultimately production. I think it more likely your 2020 fandom comment more applicable to you as it's extremely clear you weren't around for the end of the Mack Brown era and didn't suffer through that nor Strong and Herman. When there are consistent issues with a HC and his staff, during my life time of Longhorn Fandom, they have never been remedied save the blessing on one miracle worker name Vince Young and his near miss co-worker Colt McCoy. They overcame the coaching issues, and they shouldn't have been required to do such. Neither should all the players under Sark. Frankly, the players, fans and other contributors deserve better.

October 27Oct 27 I am not good at spin speak but just to clarify that this [emoji3596] means this [emoji3596] Right? PR Spin is some tricky shit. Sark is like insulting our intelligence here by doubling down on rage. Sending out feelers in September? He’d have walked if the titans offered and left us hanging. Damn, don’t like that. JMOWhen he says that he’s pissed about something being reported as if it’s factual, to me, it pretty obviously implies an assertion that it’s not factual. I know my take isn’t exciting at all but I guess I’m just a basic bitch sometimes.
October 27Oct 27 it's a court of public opinion, counselor on cross, would you demand a full denial? mister sark, do will you testify that you have not expressed interest in going to the nfl, and state, here, under oath, that the statement by the athletic reporter is 100% not true, etc., etc.

October 27Oct 27 I asked earlier, but when was the last time an NFL team hired a HC before the season was over?Without looking it up, something about the Rooney rule and also Dei-like interviews need to happen? But I bet that doesn’t include a coach outside the nfl.

October 27Oct 27 have not seen all 3 of these together.... for evidentiary purposes +++ 1. russini/athletiic "I’m told that representatives for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian have let NFL decision makers know that he would be interested in potential head coaching openings, including the Titans." +++ 2, sexton "Statement from the representatives for coach Steve Sarkisian: Any reports regarding communications on coaching opportunities with NFL teams are patently false and wildly inaccurate. Sark is solely focused on coaching the University of Texas football team." +++ 3. sark/postpresser “It really pisses me off that one person can make a report that in turn, the entire media, sports world runs with as factual to the point of my agency and my agents have to put a statement out. “I had to do that to protect my locker room and my team.

B. if someone spoke on his behalf without him knowing, what is he going to do about it? C sark's agency and agents issued a non-denial lawyer-denial that did not refute or contest the athletic reporting, and did so before any other college football media, either 'major' or '995', other than the athletic, and outside the Texas ecosystem, had reported on the athletic's assertion... negating sark's assertion that he "had to do that" (have sexton issue his 'statement') because "the entire media, sports world runs with as factual" +++ there are other either/or postulates that can be derived from the 3 data points

It was time for Mack to go but afterwards we were basically bottom feeders in the college football landscape for a decade plus. Outside of his first season Sark hasn’t given us 5-7 seasons, in fact I can’t recall a game we’ve been blown out/dominated since that Arkansas game. All I’m saying is it isn’t a given anyone comes in and makes us immediately better. Based on where we are currently with the current roster I feel it’s a bit premature to be calling for Sark’s dismissal.
October 27Oct 27 Is there a worse school than Texas in hiring good coaches? We’ve hired, what, 2 since 1957? That’s awful when you think about it.

I'm trying to explain to you that it doesn't fucking matter because the NFL makes hires on THEIR fucking timeline. At that is after the NFL season is over. Because, again, there is ZERO benefit in the NFL world to hiring early. Zero.
October 27Oct 27 Nah the player himself said it on a podcast Yea I saw that too, and asked a dr buddy about it who gives a bunch of money to them about it. He hated the Kelly hire but said there was more to the story. That’s all he said. So who knows. But yea, Kelly cares about himself more than anything and did confirm that.
