I'm not defending what they did I'm answering the question "who doesn't have worker's comp?".
Plenty of large companies do not. They self insure. And usually will have an injury plan that allows them to control costs.

I’m not exactly sure where ctj stands: Immediately post Meyer, he seemed to think Sark was a pretty decent hire. Now it seems more like 6 loss Steve. Personally, I think if the coaches can recruit, the results will follow. And recruiting now is primarily NIL which requires alumni support.
Maybe because since then he went 5-7, lost 6 in a row, and to KU at home.

50 minutes ago, closetojumping said:I had the chance to talk to a buddy who has been to multiple practices and every person on this thread except the clown that thinks NFL scouts make a bunch of money would trust this buddy's unvarnished takes. And he's not prone, ever, to positive hyperbole with UT football.
-This is a 9-3/10-2 regular season team. If Sarkisian lets these guys fall apart to anything under 8-4, they should fire him before Thanksgiving. This team has more talent than anyone in the Big 12 this year. Give me TCU's WRs and someone else's kicker, and I'm not sure what other group is outpacing what Texas has. TCU vs Texas at WR might be a wash anyway.
-Bijan gets all of the hype, but he's better this year than anything we saw last year. It's hard to believe. He could be starting in the NFL this season.
-The backfield overall is just terrific.
-You're going to be better at TE and it isn't even close. 1-4 at that spot are better than anything they've had out there since I can remember.
-Thompson is going to drop some passes, but he's also going to catch a few that are behind the defense. He could wind up with 6tds this year averaging 50 yards/td and also average 2 drops/game.
-Cain is not going to be a star but he is going to give you consistent catches. Milton has great hands but the injuries have killed his athleticism. He's an asset though and Sarkisian will use him right.
-Ewers is going to be awesome. He's going to throw a bunch of what-the-fuck picks trying to figure out where he can whip it and where he can't, and he'll remember those for about as long as it takes for him to get to the sideline. In one side of the mullet and out the other in no time.
-They didn't miss on one guy on the OL and they know it. There will be 3 freshmen OL starters super soon and another is probable this year. Robertson is physical and will be a good center if his shoulders hold up. Agbo and Neto are more physical than they feared. Williams needs a little work in pass pro but is the starter at RT soon. Banks is not a freshmen and Hutson is the guy they're really surprised by, because he's better than they assumed and is a starter already.
-Kicker is a major fucking problem.
-The concerns about the DTs are overblown. They're swearing they're going to let them play upfield and if that is the case, the DTs are above average. Broughton can't stop the run and positivity around him feels like bullshit to press the other guys to up their game for snaps.
-EDGE is the biggest problem on defense. There should be less concern about it. This was not explained in detail to me as to why I should be less concerned about the position.
-LB is much improved. No studs, but they'll be a hell of a lot better than the mess last year. The transfer is tiny dynamite.
-Secondary looks really good but could be zero sum with the fact that they know a lot of the plays coming at them and Ewers does not give a fuck in practice about trying to thread the needle.
-If they play Bama tough and show sparks on offense, they could go on to be a team that gets substantially better as the season goes on. Traylor will have UTSA playing violently and that comes off of Bama, so Tech is the biggest game of the year. Win the first conference game to go 3-1, then beat a lost WVU team at home and figure out what OU is made of in Dallas.
-This staff is using outlets to send signals to players on a daily basis.

And he had the benefit of building his record and early reputation in the AAC instead of the pac-12.
Say what you will about Dark, but the football community has decided he was good enough for Washington, USC, and now Texas.
Texas has done a stellar job hiring football coaches in the last 50 years. That’s a feather in his cap for sure.

Somewhat of a bizarro world TexAgs we've got here.
There, current coach can do no wrong and any suggestion to the contrary is grounds for banning.
Here, our coach is the worst and his predecessor who we fired is actually better.
I mean, Herman is a better coach. Both have a sufficient track record to make a fair comparison. I still wanted him gone.
I just never in my wildest dreams imagine we would hire Sarkisian. It was galactically fucking stupid. I would have kept Herman another year before hiring that spare if that was the best I could do.

We'll have to agree to disagree. The world doesn't exist where I'd be singing the praises of Tom Herman.
I am not praising him. I think he needed to go. Sark is worse. I am not hopeful given his track record here and last year's disaster that he will ever even come close to what Tom Herman did (which was below par).

I predict this post will not age well Sark is light years better than Tom Herman.
I don't see it.
Tom Herman is 54-22 as a head coach. He has a top 10 finish at UH and another top 10 finish at Texas. We won NY6 bowl games at both UH and Texas, the Peach and Sugar Bowls, respectively. In his six years of coaching, he finished in the top 25 4 times in his 6 years as a head coach.
Sarkisian is 51-42 as a head coach. He's finished ranked twice in his 9 years as a head coach. His best ranking was #21 at USC. HIs signature bowl win was the Holiday Bowl when USC beat unranked Nebraska 45 to 42.
Light years my ass.

literally all that needs to be said about this is that Charlie Strong was fired 11/26/16 and found a new job as a head coach 12/11/26 at USF.
Tom Herman was fired 1/2/21 and still does not have a head coaching job, was an offensive analyst for the Bears and was let go when they brought on a new coach in January 2022. THIS MONTH, EIGHT MONTHS LATER, he just got a job at CBS Sports Network (not regular CBS) as part of a team with Robert Turbin/Christian Fauria (UConn Games) and Meghan McPeak.
He was like 46 when he was fired at Texas, not exactly old. Young enough to get back into the game if you wanted to. But...he hasn't.
That sure worked out well for USF.

I don't think I've seen one like Ricky since. Peterson maybe in some ways was as dominant when healthy. I'll take 75% of RW's production from Bijan this year and that probably gets him to NY and Texas with 8+ wins, I imagine.
There is a strong argument that Ricky is the greatest college running back of all time.
Bijan is really, really good. I would love to be wrong about this year and we pull out 9 or more wins. I just cannot believe in a coach who lost six fucking games in a row. Or who blew the lead we had against OU.
I would be thrilled to be wrong about Sark.

The worst was when he would get that 1000 yard stare on the sidelines.
My favorite was against at the end of the half one year against Okie State. Less than 30 seconds left. We have two timeouts. It is third down and we are in field goal range. Dumb fuck takes a delay of game penalty and knocks our kicker out of his comfortable range. We miss it.

No shit? You'd have said the same about Saban. Sociopath's are better at changing their strategies and tactics than the rest of us, given that they're not hemmed in by emotional attachments. That said, yeah man, I don't need a fucking update that the ship has sailed on him at Texas. I also would prefer to not have to bear further witness to all of the nonsensical "we dodged a bullet there" bullshit from imbeciles on this board while Steve Sarklostagain is coaching the program in Meyer's stead.
Funny, this is the exact same stuff that Sarkisian is telling anyone who will listen. It being said here is fine. Our HC saying it to donors and media is not a good look going into his second season.
You need to "trust the coaches", sir!

Charlie Strong was the single dumbest game day coach I have ever witnessed at the University of Texas and perhaps ever.
Nobody comes close.
Now, now, now. Let's be fair. His roster management was almost as dumb. Like not going after a QB transfer and rolling with a starting QB whose name he did not even know. Just how dumb was that son of a bitch?

Herman left the program worse than he found it. I would rather see Strong part deux, than ever see Herman back at Texas. I know Strong would at least leave a bunch of talent.
Strong left a bunch of talent? You should call up some NFL teams and let them know they have missed out on a bunch of Charlie Strong specials.

I would rank them Herman, Sark, and Strong.
Strong was in a special class of regardness that it least made it entertaining. Watching that clueless bumblefuck try and coach at least was good for some laughs.
Herman needed to go. But we downgraded with Sarkisian. At least that is my view until proven otherwise.

I'm totally excited, even if that means we will be moving on to a new coach. This year is going to be fun.
I guess. My expectations are so low. Oh well, more time for hunting and fishing. Love my falls in Texas.

Least excited I have been for a season since the Strong era. Just marking time until we hire a competent head coach. Still cannot believe we hired this spare.

I've always kind of thought that they anonymity of AA was a problem, albeit small in the grand scheme of things.
Don't worry about outing yourself. In time, if your serious talking about alcohol and it's grip on you will become easier. To me, it was liberating especially with my loved ones and closest friends. Being honest with them led to more introspection on my part. Putting it out here, 6 months ago, brought a different kind of accountability. I know I won't get judged if I fall off the wagon here. And people will understand. Just like in an AA meeting.
So let go.

Y'all chill out. WHO's got this:
The World Health Organization says it's holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations.
They make a good point, but renaming it will make many people think there's a whole NEW disease. WHO needs to focus on, you know, stopping the disease.

Systemic racism is everywhere, pal. Got to fight it on all fronts.

the grid didn't crater so there's gonna be a lil' bit o' disappointment round these parts...
I was in Colorado most of the summer, but my clocks weren't blinking when we got back, so I guess things worked okay while we were gone.
Overall, the Texas grid works well and is very reliable notwithstanding Winter Storm Uri, which was remarkable not only in how cold it was but how cold it was over such a large area of the state. And we pay about 25 percent less per kwh than the national average.
Maybe we should go with the heavily regulated California model and pay more than double per kwh and have brownouts when it's 85 degrees.

I do think he sucks and I hope I am wrong and will relish eating crow. Usually when I have a feeling like this about a Texas coach it is proven true.
We had dipshits defending Charlie Strong his last year. Same with Shaka. When it was glaringly obvious both were absolute failures. He is not quite to that level yet, admittedly. But his track record overall and at Texas means any prediction of success is basically a blind leap of faith.
He is one hell of a coordinator. Elite. And PK has a track record of being elite as a DC. So success is not impossible like it was glaringly obvious to anyone with an IQ over room temperature a couple seasons in under Strong and Shaka.
