Campbell accomplished this season what Herman did in the 2018 season (beat OU in the regular season, lost the CCG to OU, and won a NY6 bowl against an SEC opponent), and has lost 5, 5, 6, and 3 games the past 4 seasons compared to Herman's 6,4,5, and 3. So I assume that your argument is that Campbell is accomplishing the same exact results as Herman, but doing it with less talent, and thus he has shown you enough to prove that he would be able to succeed to our standards simply by changing addresses? What have you seen from his resume that indicates he is capable if bringing in the better talent that would presumably make him more successful at Texas? Why does he get a pass for losing to Louisiana and Oklahoma State?
Fickell? He has one year of experience at a P5 program, where finished with a losing record at OSU, a place with the same pedigree as Texas. What do you think our record would have been against this schedule? Are you sure you want Mack 2.0 and not Strong or Herman 2.0, because the latter is what you are advocating here.
Harsin? Seriously? He has shown you more during his very meh career at BSU than Sarkisian has? Again, Strong or Herman 2.0, not Mack 2.0
I can totally understand not being excited about Sarkisian, especially if you were still holding out hope for an Urban Meyer miracle, but every viable option to replace Herman was going to be a calculated gamble. The fact that we aren't willing to throw $15 million a year to get Saban, Swinney, or anyone else that you might consider to be a can't miss hire doesn't indicate that we don't care about the success of the program. It indicates that we aren't completely insane (whatever ludicrous amount we offered Meyer notwithstanding).
I don't know if Sark is the guy any more than the rest of you, but it's as good of a dice roll as any under the circumstances. Time will tell.
