  • 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.

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

    Herman is a better hc than Apple white

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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'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.

    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.

    • 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.
