  • 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.

    Can you guys stop talking about Sark. I’m trying my damned hardest to block that out for a few hours and revel in the joy that Fuckface Mensa was fired. 
    We can handwring about Sark later. Let us rejoice for a bit that Vodka Tom got what he deserved.

    Made the decision to not renew my season tickets pretty goddamned easy. Alabama’s offense is absolutely insane and maybe he ends up being a stud, but that’s just about the least exciting hire I could have imagined.

    We better have gotten him cheap

    yep.  if it's a $3 million a year deal with incentives and a low buyout clause, then sure.  give it a go.  but if he makes as much as or more than Herman, then we severely overpaid.

    Time to start the list of who we hire in 2023 after this no-talent drunk leads us to back-to-back losing seasons. I guess aspiring to beat Iowa State and TCU was just too much for CDC.

    He didn't have back to back losing seasons in Washington - taking over a team that had won a total of 12 games in the 5 years before he got there.  This isn't a Charlie Strong hire.

    It’s funny watching people look at his win-loss record and that’s the level of nuance they put into their analysis. He took over a winless Washington team and a USC team under major NCAA sanctions. At one point he only had 50 or 60 scholarships to use. He did miracles under the circumstances. 

    He is an elite recruiter who will hire plus coaches. The downside has nothing to do with his capacity to recruit and coach. He has more upside in that capacity than anyone this side of Meyer on our list. The downside are his personal demons. Not his ability as a coach. 

    Absolutely this.   FAR more upside than any option on the table if he can handle the pressure of the job without turning back to the booze.

    Feels like when an NFL team hires a shitty Belichick assistant. Sarkisian had success at Bama because he was at Bama. He hasn’t had much success anywhere else.

    This. A lot of coaches look really good when they have a roster full of 5 stars to throw around. we hired this dumb motherfucker largely because he went 38-3 as Bama’s OC.

    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.

    Del Conte wanted to hire a coach he'd have leverage over. Wasn't happening with Urb.

    Sark will be paid less and have strict wording in his contract to keep him in line. Small buyout ect. Sark willing to accept cause of opportunity to be HC of blue blood.

    This could be an incredible hire or a spectacular failure. Getting Saban's probable successor isn't something to turn your nose up at. The problem is all of you spent over a month thinking Urban was still happening. You only have yourselves to blame. 

    Agree with this. This may be Pete Carroll 2.0 when everyone lost their shit over hiring him at USC. i actually like Sark as the number two option to Urban. I think he will go toe to toe with Riley pretty well, Brian Kelley would have been Riley's dick warmer.

    This is either going to be amazing or absolutely terrible. There is no in between. 

    Well there's David McWilliams and John Mackovic.  He's not necessarily going to be as bad as Charlie Strong.  But there's no reason to think he will be as successful as Fred Akers, Mack Brown or Tom Hermann.  Absolutely no reason.

    On the positive side, Sark is supposed to be beloved by his players.  And the UT players almost uniformly despised Tom and I bet a bunch more were hitting the transfer portal during the offseason.

    Looking at former players twitter it doesn't seem there's a lot of love lost for Tom.  Many current players are in shock though.

    • 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.

      Sincerely, 

      CJ
