Holy shit word I'm hearing on radio is that Sark turned you down. 

It's just David Pollack throwing some chum in the water

How does the Wanker have that much rep?

CR circle jerks?

Bigger news than aggy football, stealing the limelight.

Saban's just as likely to rehire Applewhite and groom him. Not gonna happen.

Herman is a better hc than Apple white 

Calling it now: Devonta takes advantage of the free year and portals here with Najee, Mac, Surtain and the OL. Leaves Waddle there, just to annoy a certain poster.

Can't find the post to reply to, but @Bluemoon3287 is right, a relapse for Sarkisian is a risk, period.  Could be stress, could be winning too much (half serious about that).

I would submit, though, that it's not like he's fresh out of rehab or that OCing for Nick Saban is some kind of low-stress environment.

Relapse is an issue until it isn't.  And then it still is.

Not sure he is completely safe but I’d think Boulware could stay on. 

Unless Jeff Banks starts coaching a new position Boulware is most likely gone.

Maybe, but I would think Herman’s agent would leak that’s he’s leaving for a different job rather than it being widely reported Herman’s fired. Either way, if it was Sark, I would’ve hoped we’d wait a week so he could come in immediately as Herman is let go but also be coming off a title win. 

there's no way Herman accepts another job until he's fired because he does not want any indication at all he's quitting the job and forfeiting that sweet 15 million in free dollars

What does Texas do if Barney from the Simpson's turns you down?  Buuuurrrrp!  LOL

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

Im salty now but he'll have my full support.

Until our first loss.

We probably put our last full court press on Meyer.

Probably the best available for immediate recruiting of the ACTUALLY AVAILABLE candidates.  At the current hottest cfb program that's the best pipeline to the NFL.  A gamble, but there's logic.

 

I'm now hearing from trusted sources David Pollack will be the new HC at Texas.

I think it’s so we don’t look like auburn. CDC had to get an agreement in place before the firing. 

This would explain why Sark didn't take the Auburn interview

Happy to see Herman go. He was failing at basic game time decisions and not developing players. Didn't know much about the new guy until I read the first few pages of this thread. I am not against second chances. 'Bama has been dominant for more than a decade so hoping for the best. We got so much talent that some basic competent coaching should at least keep us in top 15. If Sark after dark is out to redeem himself then maybe this turns out to be great. I am just hopeful because of the change.

CdC axed him to leave then so he could turn the lights out on the sorriest decade in Longhorn football history.

tell me how much better uga is under KS than it was under MR?  not much.  uga was already within striking distance of being in the top 3.  they continue to be second to Florida most years and don't beat Bama and lose to Tom Herman and nearly lose to Cincy.  MR and KS are Mack Brown at best.  We had Urban Meyer's eyes on us and we failed.  A guy known to be drunk at practice as the HC with a barely above 500 record was our choice.  pardon me but I'm no where near the dumbest fucking thing that's been said on this board.

UGA is better.  They have talent to match anybody, including Alabama.  They just can't get over the bama hump.  4 straight NY6 bowls.  4 straight top 10 finishes.  An SEC and 3 division titles in 4 years.   Richt had 3 unranked seasons in his last 6.  Richt had 2 SEC and 5 division titles in 15 years.

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 of 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.

More or less where I’m at. I don’t like the hire but Herman was beyond the point of no return. Hoping for the best even if I think that’s less likely than not.

Don’t know what to think about the Sark hire....

But seriously what does Sarks issue with booze (assuming he’s somehow restrained those demons) have to do with him being the new HC?  I think we’ve all seen a few individuals up close who have turned away from drugs, excessive alcohol use, and other addictions and have done well for themselves and those they influence.

I found this place for the Trump stuff but I have to admit seeing how much y'all care about this sport only to watch your Jerry Jones level incompetency is thoroughly entertaining for a guy who has no dog in the fight 

Holy grammar fuckery, Batman

Wrong. His offenses at ISU and UH weren’t all that good and plenty of people pointed that out. 
 

Comparing Herman’s short history to Sark’s laughable. We know way more about Sark as an offensive coach than we did Herman. 

Didn't we average the most points in UT history this year?

I still say all CR rep should be removed. 

I's somewhat stunned that Herman got fired considering what 2020 has been like. Then again, you cannot allow politics to enter a locker room and maintain support of the entire team. Don't know about Sarkisian.  I hope I'm wrong but this hire has John Mackovic written all over it.

Herman was an alcoholic?  Any stories on that?

Waiting for this 

Just wait until Sark gets the UT black card and walks into Abels. 

Missed it by 3 days and 1 hour. 

 

Dude. We're about to demolish Kansas in Lawrence. 2021 might be our year, fellas.

UGA has a hard time deciding if they want to be at bowl game or not.  They showed up a little late against Cincy yesterday, but it looked like for three quarters they didn’t want to be there

If we were good, he wouldn't be. He's the designated B/C Team at Fox.

I don't know if they listen to the same music and bbq together but he's most likely coming with him.

Only Drayton and maybe Hurzeler (depending on the DC hire) are safe.

So you’re not hearing there’s any chance he keeps Ash? On the bright side, he did a good job of hiring Wilcox as DC when he went to USC. That guy knows how to coach a defense.

1.) We’ve all seen those who haven’t. 2.) Supposedly Herman’s conduct, including his fondness of alcohol, is part of the reason he has a bad relationship with admin/donors. Knowing what kind of stress the Texas job entails on that front as well as the football front, and the financial commitment the school will make, it’s perfectly fair to question whether or not an alcoholic should hold that position.

Crazy names I’m hearing for potential staff members , June Jones , Kevin Sumlin, Norm Chow 

Suprised Jerry Glanville’s name wasn’t mentioned 😂
