This sucks?  Herman is gone, which is good.  I have no clue on Sark but hopefully we’ve done our homework.  If not rinse and repeat in three years.

Yep. Make the best hire we can and see where it goes. All you can do.

Tim Brando can continue to go fuck himself

Can somebody please package up all of Brando's anti-Texas Twitter dumbassery and send it to CDC?  CDC needs to thrown a little weight around and keep Brando off of any future UT games.

National Sports Media before season: “this is finally Texas’ year to make a playoff push!”

 

National Sports Media after disappointing season resulting in a coaching change: “Texas fans have such unrealistic expectations. What a toxic culture! No way any coach will succeed there!”

Fuck Brando.

Herman needed to go for obvious reasons.
Sark needs to put together an A+ staff and CDC better not get in the way. Hope he has the chops to handle this pressure cooker.

Maybe Saban rehabbed him...lol, I said rehab.

brando doubling down on being a piece of shit. come to austin not online and see what happens fucker.

Watching ESPN right now and this asshat is saying UT didn’t give Strong or Herman enough time to recruit and build their programs.  What a fucking joke.

its limestone. karst

I saw it too. It was the "talk show" setup, with one asshat saying it's a good move and the other asshat saying it's a bad one.

Definitely flamed out at USC - though going 9-4 when you were completely blitzed most of the time is impressive in its own sort of way.

The fucking guy will always try to claim being unbiased calling our games, too. Him and Tillman can get fucked

That we should be happy to lose to OU and Iowa State because we are entitled and expect too much out of 6 million dollar head coach.

Galloway’s point lost all credibility when he mentioned Strong.

Brando is Louisiana through and through. Born in Shreveport, and went to La Monroe. He's jealous of everyone who graduated from a top tier university.

The difficult truth is that Tim Brando doesn't have the integrity to be impartial; he can't hide his hatred of UT if he tried.  I wouldn't mind beating his face in.

Someone needs to remind him that he isn't SEC good.

CDC is on twitter enough I doubt he needs help with that.  If he does he'll have an intern do it.

Saw it too and it is infuriating to watch these clowns not even mention the coaching record against OU/OSU/TCU and then talk about how he is good in bowls. Morons

Well when no announcement by your ad is made you let all the twitter morons make up whatever they want. Has there even been a official release that your coach was fired or has it all been handled by the B team Austin media? 

He was good in bowls. That was his best quality and I will miss that.

Pity about all the other stuff.

At least she’s legal. 

If Sark is in fact hired,  I don't know if he will a a good coach,  don't know if he will lock up the State of Texas  recruiting or not.

But I do know there won't be a drop of kool-aid in the Laga4 house until he beats OU,  wins a Big 12 Championship and gets in the CFP all in the same year.

The story broke because UT put out a press release. CDC put out a statement as well. Calm down.

This is a fucking mess.   Sark did well at Alabama because saban did all the hard work....allowing Sark to work with polished, disciplined, elite athletes.  Coaches fail at bog schools because the gravity of the schools are tremendous.   Networking, recruiting, position coaches, politics, donor drama.  
 

He catches heat from a donor al Alabama, saban makes a phone call and it goes away.    Not so as the big man in charge.  It’s constant, unrelenting, pressure that most can’t handle week after week.  Tom, with weeks off, can put together a good bowl game plan.   Bit during the season the fuck yes mount as the pace is daunting.  

This is the correct answer.  Being a HC isn't so much about X's and O's but what you just said and some schools are more high pressure than others.  Saban has basically told the boosters there to fuck off as long as he wins.  The Bama Club of Memphis or whoever the fuck can deal.  The pressure to win is immense, though.  There is no personal latitude like Mack had.

Sark failed spectacularly at one of the most high maintenance booster schools in college sports and now he's going to another?  This will end very badly.

Like her tan.

I’d be happy if Ash stayed...I’ve seen improvement almost every week from our defense and they certainly look more confident than they did before he arrived. With a proper off-season I have faith our defense continues to improve toward the top of the conference. 
 

Does anyone have credible information regarding whether the playcalling and rhythms of our offense was a result of TH continuing to meddle? Or was this Yurcich’s offense all season?

I'm wondering if the thought was "well, we got a lot of shit for firing Mack.  Then even more shit for firing Charlie.  We're going to get a lot of shit for firing Herman right after the 7-3 and two straight blowout wins.  So let's mix in a redemption story to soften things.  Plus that history will allow us to quickly move on if he implodes without getting shit the next time."

I have faith that CDC doesn't spend time on Twitter following Tim Fucking Brando.

 

Best of luck to the (apparent) new coach. 

There's no reason why he can't succeed. Ok, there are hundreds of reasons. But he could also pull it off. I'm hoping he does.

Jesus what a terrible move.  I’d rather keep Herman.

Holy shit!  Mandel made a sensible point?

Maybe the Mayans meant 2021, not 2012.

 

 

While he is on this flight everybody is talking about. That would be pretty high tech.

Sark might not be a slam dunk.  But at least this buys me a few years of not having to worry about telling the little voice in my head cheering for us to lose to shut up.

We'll know it's Sark if they decide to lit the tower.
