  • Almost as unceremonious as his past 2 victories to finish off the season, Tom "the turtle" Herman has been removed as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. 
     
    We don't really wish you anything, but to get the hell out of here Tom.

    At this point Sark would have been confirmed and so far no one has come out and said Sark is it other than the original fuck chip

    " Texas will hire Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian as Herman's replacement, a source close to the process tells CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd."

    Drayton seems to be really well liked by a lot of players. I know he’s basically the reason Bijan come here. Whittington basically threatening to leave if he goes. I’d imagine he gets retained.

    Nope. Bijan's primary recruiter was Kevin Washington of all people.

    del Conte does not always have a plan.  What he does have is immense amount of pressure to hurry the fuck up and do something.  To look busy, to look competent.  I still like the guy but we're just shuffling papers on the desk to seem viable to donors.

    I don’t think this was a home run by any means. But I think we’re way over reacting to this.

    Sark could be horrible. Or he could be great. But we couldn’t have Harman for another year.

    Herman is a better coach than Sark but letting him stay was untenable at this point. Better be 100 percent funded by donor money because otherwise the price tag isn’t worth it.

    Well be back here in 3-4 years. Hopefully there’s some better utilization of offensive talent.

    I said exactly the same thing when we hired herman.  Prepare to be negged.

    You accused me of “hypocrisy” in my deleted “Fire Steve Sarkisian” thread for being adamantly against this hire. Care to explain?

    I called you a hypocrite because you bitched and moaned about the site being an embarrassment and then started a fire the HC thread before he’d even been announced.

    So much fan consternation over Sark.  But before I address that, screw Wanker Bob and every other dipshit outsider who thinks Texas should be satisfied with the current state of the program.  Recruiting is a mess. A&M is surging, OU is kicking our ass, and we don't have time to eff around and hope that Herman can take it to the next level.  Herman might be a good coach, but we don't have the luxury to time to find out. CDC had to make a move.

     

    I get the wory over Sark. I have big concerns too.  But I get the decision. Once Meyer said no, every choice had risk. Kelly hasn't proven he can win at the highest level. Campbell is an unknown at the big boy programs. Dabo and Day were unattainable. 

    Sark supposedly is incredibly talented. Drinking is what derailed his success. He's worked under Saban and learned how to assemble championship teams. As Burt said earlier in the thread, this is a high risk high reward choice. I'd rather try that than watch Kelly get his ass kicked in the Big 12 championship every year by OU.

    Excellent.

    If Sark can get texas to uga level, I'll be happy. 


    A 2-loss team that never wins the conference will make you happy?

    We're only one loss away from that under Herman.

    If UGa wasnt riding SEC coattails, we'd be hearing hiw they underachieve every year.

    I do not want to be UGa. I want to win the conference more often than every 5-10 years... I want to have a real shot at it every year...

    This. If my option is Sark or Herman again, consider me a Sarkboy. Herman tanked 2021 and 2022 recruiting. No momentum. No chance to dethrone OU.  It was about to get uglier

    Whoever the new HC is, if we kept Herman all this time, we better be announcing him today so he can immediately talk to the players and try to keep attrition to a minimum. If it’s Sark then I guess he’s ditching Bama before the title game like Kiffin did. It doesn’t make much sense to me. If we’ve kept Herman this long then why not wait another week until Sark wins a title as Bama’s OC and then announce the hiring/firing? What difference does a week make at this point?

    Mostly, I’m ecstatic that we actually fired a failed narcissist excuse as a head coach.  I am extremely pleased to have an adult head coach.  NO ONE knows what the next 3-4 years will bring.  Right now....I’m just going to say Hook’em!!!!

    Keeping Mensa at this point isn't an option.  I don't want to make a change for the sake of change but you can't bring back a coach who had lost the confidence of those in Belmont and the locker room.  At this point, if UM wasn't available, you go get a guy like Sark on the cheap and hope for the best.

    If Urban was the only thing that was going to make you turds happy then you were destined to be disappointed in the actual reality of our next hire. 

    this is true, but the drip off from Urban to Sark is not the equivalent to stepping off a curb

    this is more like accidentally falling off a 60 foot cliff at the 3:00 am and it's pitch dark (while drunk) and you're happy you hit water when you reach the bottom

    He took over a program that had won a total of 12 games in the 5 seasons before he was hired.

    I agree he’s a better coach than Ty Willingham. He also inherited Jake Locker at a program that has generally been an upper-tier Pac 12 team. I just don’t see an upgrade in this hire. There’s nothing in his resume as a head coach that excites me about this hire.

    Yes exactly. There simply weren't many options out there with HC experience at big programs. He has the resume to be coach at Texas and has spent the last couple years learning under the best.

    Hopefully the kids like him. Plus he's seen Bijan and knows the way. Look at what he did with Najee Harris. I don't know how he'll be as a HC, but he sure as fuck won't let Bijan sit the bench

    • Figured it was time to take a look at why we are struggling running vs Georgia. There are many reasons. Sometimes we just aren't physical enough and don't block through the whistle. We turn guys loose too early allowing them to get back in the play. Sometimes the bunch sets don't help as they bring too many defenders close to the ball that wouldn't otherwise be there. However, most of the time it's just simply players losing 1v1 battles or just missing their assignment not Georgia stacking the box to take away the run like SOME posters like to believe.

       

      Below we are running our signature OZ. GEORGIA IS IN NICKEL DESPITE US HAVING TWO TIGHT ENDS ON THE FIELD(12 personnel). This is where Sarkisian's stubbornness is bare ass naked for all to see. We should spread Georgia out an run on them like other teams do. But no we make the distance shorter for them to get to the LOZ. Some of you have heard me say you cannot beat Georgia by playing in a phone booth. This play is an example of that. At the snap Juan Davis(81) come across the formation to cut off backside pursuit freeing Helm up to climb to the backside LB. The line is dancing to left. Majors climbs to the second level to find work. That would make for a nice hole but Conner gets whipped immediately and Wisner has to move on. The edge would've looked pretty good but Golden runs right past the nickel. Wisner sees it, cuts it up, and just tries to get what he can.

      “Culture + Talent = Dangerous” 

      This school has always had the talent part down. Anyone who’s ever been to Austin understands why talented people kind of naturally want to be here. But now that we have a culture to match it, I mean, that’s just really, really bad news for every other team in the nation. 

      We are back to where we belong. Playing for all the marbles. 

      The Blueprint is there. 

      Now it’s time to execute. 

      Go out there and get one for your brother.
