1. He brought in Hughes to run the program. Maybe Hughes and Chang didn't jive? Maybe they didn't like how Chang and company did things and are wanting to go in a different direction. Maybe Chang is a die hard Herman guy and they are wanting to remove those types form the program. Maybe Chang thinks Herman got a raw deal and gave Sark double rods when they met....We don't have a clue. However, at this point in time....I am going to trust Sarkisian's decision making on who to retain and who to cull a lot more than I am going to put faith in Herman's original hires.... I mean I love Carrington and he seems to be great, but lets not forget Chang was hired by the same guy who hired the football coaches for the past few years......Again we don't know, maybe Sark wanted to keep Chang but Chang didn't want to stay or work for Hughes or whatever. Maybe he was burnt out on the recruiting stuff.....who knows. Maybe Chang has been coasting on the rest of the staff I have no freaking idea. Is it possible that Sark had the opportunity to retain Chang and chose to can him for an idiotic reason.....Sure......do I really think that is what happened? No.

We are all still basking in the relief of who it isn't.

Yes but I am speaking to the totality of the original staffs, not just lb coaches. Hutzler wasn't included in that. BJM was the one coach on Strong that I truly liked other than OL coach who was a complete disaster.

No, it was a mild tweet at 8am not 6am. Simple statement to Davis. Not some giant damage control release or something like that.

Heck even if it was close to going down, which I am still dubious on: --SuperK literally said he doesn't know if his source is legit---its like Nahlin saying he knows the DC but can't share it yet but it's awesome.....If his source is Stoops as has been reported, then he is reporting it without actually believing it...otherwise why the need for the "Not sure if true" statement. --The only actual report was some hack in bama who is regarded to some extent as being linked to Stoops and has supposedly inaccurately floated his name in the past for jobs. --Every other report parroted this jackwagon and was heavily cached in terms of "we are hearing", "we expect", "reportedly", etc. Not one single twit in the sports media business except this tool none of us had heard from before last night could find any confirmation? The squid, rapgamelarry, bevoboulevard, and ceddyb would like a word with him. --The only actual reporting on this from the Texas side was a mild tweet from B. Davis and FCB that Sark had told them Stoops wasn't going to be the coach.... --Let me remind you that Bohls and Golden basically declared Jihad on CDC 2 weeks ago. If you actually believe those 2 wouldn't have gotten wind of this, or gotten the info on what happened and used it to smear CDC......you are kidding yourselves. So again, I don't believe the reports it was actually happening. But...if it was....as much as I detest Mike Stoops as a human being, and think he would have been a horrible hire, he is still a better LB coach than 90% of Herman's staff and 85% of Strong's were and nobody said squat to prevent any of those idiotic hires. So either Sark is more aware of the world he is coaching in, more open to feedback, or doesn't think he is infallible to the point he can't admit a mistake on a coach.....All are improvements and good signs to me regarding where we are. It is certainly an improvement over at least the past 4 head coaches....I can't recall if McWilliams thought he was infallible or not.

Yeah and the Bama guy has been linked to floating Stoop's name before (for jobs he didn't get) and Stoops is his source on things in the past according to Bama people.

So I typically like your posts, but I do have a question.... You literally posted on the recruiting board at the same time that all this hit the fan....yet you were radio silent until 14 minutes ago and now you know everything that went down and everyone else who spent time trying to figure out how Sark could put together the rest of the staff and then lump Mike Stoops on that the end and rationalize all this was posting...........and now you are going to come and criticize people trying to figure out what the hell was going on while you said jack squat. If this was happening as you present....it would have been nice to have some confirmation that it was rather then absolutely nothing from you on the matter. That is some Nahlin level 9.95 posting there my friend. Look I like your posts typically but literally there was 1 report out there reporting this was happening and everyone else who reported it was literally parroted the twit in Alabama who Bama fans claim is Mike Stoop's mouth piece.

nvm

Also, Superk source may be Mike Stoops himself.....which leads me to really not be concerned.

Also if TFB is reporting from Stoops as a source.....then I really am not concerned.

Hey, you tend to bond with people you share demons with. I can see there being a bond and blindspot for Stoops for Sark. But if it was a possibility and pulled back based on reaction that is progress from the 3 predecessors.

Coaches have blindspots for people they know. Sark and Stoops have faced some similar demons...I can see there being a bond. But him actually listening to the response and realizing this wasn't going to work(if that is what happened) is vast improvement over his predecessors...

Superk doesn't know if it's accurate or not, but he is being told it was greenlit last night and then the reaction blew it up...... I think they may have been floating it to see reaction. Who knows.

Fcb also reporting no stoops

Rather have Phil Dawson

What is your malfunction....Seriously you made a similar post in the that has been deleted. How are you still even around. Take your garbage to CR and leave us the heck alone.

So if LJ is going to wait until Signing day....then I guess he is no longer enrolling early? Which obviously would be hard with classes starting this week but anyways....

Can people not just write something up instead of it always having to be a stinking video. I miss Grantland.... #GetOffMyLawn

You have to recall when Mack got hired there was limited boards around. I started on Billybobs Texas Page and moved on to hornfans about sometime that year after Mack was hired. I remember most of the response was people were happy to get competent coaching on both sides of the ball for once. Lots of "excitement" over Reese at DC..... People may have been excited about Nunez coaching the oline I can't remember. I know there was some idiot Tarheel fan named watchfuleyes that showed up and started spouting off about how Mack would stab us in the back and how crooked he was....

Green surprises me....I would think this defense would appeal to him....oh well....

I couldn't bring myself to ask about capes.....that was a bridge too far.
