  • 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.

    Because winning with a team full of 5 star athletes is so fucking hard.

    Exactly. It's almost the same as teams in the NFL plucking coaches from the Belichik coaching tree and thinking they will get those results. And so many fall for the whole "well they have been groomed in their system so they can bring all that knowledge to our teams!". Yeah, except it doesn't work like that. A coordinator just can't replicate the systems and environment that Saban and Belichik have built.

    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. 

    5 years and the best he did was 8-4.  Chris Peterson took them to 3 straight NY6 games a couple years after Sarkisian was out of the way.  USC also did better after Sark was gone.

    USC still had a limited roster due to sanctions when he was there

    Petersen didn't take over a Washington team that had gone 0-12 the prior year

    USC did better once major sanctions were lifted? No way!

    If you want to play devil’s advocate (and I’m certainly not) you could make the argument that Quinn’s defensive mindset brought down Shanahan’s offensive numbers post Super Bowl year as much as Sark’s hire as OC.  Shanahan’s resurrection of the post-Harbaugh dumpster fire in SF, however, sure shifts the narrative to Atlanta’s explosive Super Bowl year being all about Shanahan though. As for Bama, the factory was already built.  Hard to put a lot of stock in any skins Sark put on the wall there.  Expecting the worst, but hoping for the best here.

    Dude, the factory was built but they fucking execute at an elite level. That is on coaching and attention to detail.

    Shit I am rooting like a mutherfucker for whoever is in Belmont at this point.  Good news is Sark's current offense looks pretty good... Saban from a learning perspective is excellent as well from the college perspective.  We haven't had a coach with this sort of NFL offensive experience well... ever?

    Believe me, you're the only one that's embarrassing. Most people are like "well if he keep his drinking in line, should work out pretty well."

    I love all of the talk of Sarkisian being an offensive mastermind. 

    If there is one thing I have learned about Texas Football, it is this.......60% of our offense will always be behind the LOS passes to stationary receivers that lose yardage.

    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.  

    They loved McWilliams and Strong too.  Does anybody love Saban?

    Yeah, Kirby's central problem is that he's a DC and continues to try to win with defense.

    He hasn't made Georgia a juggernaut, but they're a solid number 2 in SEC.

    I’ll take it.

    Tom was an asshole. Not just in his pressers. I had a player as an intern his first year. Dude had to hold his breath when we talked about Herman.

    I will also take the guy who has been with Saban watching how the most elite program works...and helping it.

    Now, let’s see what happens on the field...but I’m on board right now.

    I hated the idea at first but now I think I’m coming around to liking the hiring of Sark.  Unlike Tom, Sark is a genuine offensive guru and he can recruit as well. He also doesn’t have a staff of buddies he will be bringing along and thus hopefully he can put together the best staff UT’s money can buy.

    • 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
