I’ll give aggy fans credit when it’s due: all the comments on the articles are pretty much in agreement that they want him to gtfo. No one is apologizing for him.

This Campbell talk is the same thing with somebody every year. We hear about how this badass OL recruit can't be a tackle because he doesn't have NFL tackle dimensions.
Well we're not thinking about playing him at fucking NFL tackle. Connor Williams is a barely passable NFL guard. That didn't make him not a really good college tackle.
I don't know. In his last game against Tech he wasn't even passable....

Whataburger > In and Out > carls junior/Burger King> Jack in the box > Wendy’s > McDonald’s.
Gonna have to disagree with that.
Whataburger>McDonald's > Dairy Queen> Steak &Sheak > Sonic> Wendy's > Jack in the box > Carls/Arbys> 100 ft of shit> In and out
A McDonald's happy meal cheeseburger is superior to in and out.

If y'all haven't seen it yet, Old Henry is a pretty good recent one.
Man who shot Liberty Valance is great, may be my favorite. Red River, Cowboys, Tombstone, Stagecoach, 3:10 to Yuma(the original), Unforgiven, Quigley Down Under.
Is The Highwaymen a western?
Not in the same class, but I thoroughly enjoy watching Paint Your Wagon, Cat Ballou, and either version of the Magnificent 7, and Ballad of Buster Scruggs whenever they come on.

Why? What was his issue with DKR?
Were you stunned? Were you pissed?
DKR didn't present the image as the coach of the University of Texas that Shivers wanted. Shivers didn't care for Royal's long haired music friends and such that he hung around with. I believe he is quoted as saying when they interviewed Akers he looked like he had stepped out of a Neiman Marcus catalogue and that was the image he wanted for The University.
I should add that from Erwin to Shivers, Royal didn't seem to get along with BOR chairmen.
To your 2nd question nope. I was a freshman, I didn't care that much I was just surprised.

Post was more about the Barnett side than the Mack/royal play. Deloss and his search team got it wrong that time as well, at least based on barnett’s performance at Colorado.
Like I have said previously. I thought at the time we screwed up and should have gone Barnett.
Who knows. Barnett might have been more successful at Texas than Brown was....I doubt it but you never know.

i would say re: #1 everyone we have hired with the exception of Mack (14 years of head coaching, 10 P5 coaching) has basically been a bad hire, so as an organization, we have a long history of picking the very clearly wrong guy for the job - at this point we are what? 1/6 with coaching hires since DKR. Drop out Akers and we have exactly 2 coaches who won even 60% of the games they played (Mack at 76% and Tom at 64%) - i am excluding Sark from this list based on 1 year.
we very, very, very, very clearly have a shitty hiring process and protocol - lots of orgs do. i am not asking for us to be as lucky as OU with Stoops --> Riley or the luckiest team in the history of CFB when it comes to hiring coaches (tOSU and it isn't even close) - i just want the team to go through an actual hiring process and actually hire the right guy.
since Mack, we are probably 1/3 on hiring the "best" candidate for the job that year - and that one was a monumental asshole (Herman) who if he was like 10% less of an asshole would have coached Texas this year.
the hiring process for head coaches - and coaches in general - at Texas has been pretty, pretty fucked since Mack left. look at the shitshow that was Strong's coaching staff (buddy hires, shitty hires like Watson, etc), then Herman (buddy hires, not quick to make staff changes) and now Sark (hiring that many defensive coaches before you have a DC is going to result in failure. then turning around and not making any changes on that side of the ball is also a recipe for failure)
the entire process by which we hire head coaches since about 1987? fucked, with one exception (a 16% hit rate is abysmal)
i have no clue what the process SHOULD be. but i know that whatever the shitshow hiring process we have followed is wrong and has been for about 45 years at this point.
Well let's see:
Akers-Alan Shivers wanted the anti Darrel Royal and picked Akers. Always wondered how it would have gone if Campbell had gotten the job.
McWilliams-In order to heal the bleeding after the Akers hire they let Royal basically pick...we got McWilliams.
Mackovic-Not sure who was running the train(I have been told Moffit but don't know that) but we wanted a coach who would modernize our offense and clean up the image of the program after Akers and McWilliams. If Mackovic hadn't been afraid of competition from hiring a quality DC he would have been much better.
Mack-Deloss wanted Barnett but Royal convinced him to interview Brown. I will admit I thought we were making a mistake going for Brown, I thought he was a fabulous recruiter, but thought Barnett was a better coach and would recruit well at Texas regardless.
Strong- I literally have no idea what happens with this search. Suppose we were told no thanks by multiple people including Saban and more or less panicked and hired Chuckles. AD and BMDs were basically fighting with each other.
Herman- We hired the boy wonder lightning in the bottle coaching hire. BMD driven.
Basic rundown of our hiring processes.

Since Mack left? I’m pretty sure tie process in 1997 landed on Gary Barnett. And a certain someone stepped in and said no you will hire Mack brown.
That certain someone also hand picked David McWilliams so I love Coach Royal and all....but his 1st at bat was a disaster...

I think what Kelly did at Notre Dame is a pretty reasonable floor. Easy state to build a fence around. If LSU fan can get over their Saban/Bama complex and give Kelly time, he should be fine there.
He won't have that success. Will he win games? Yes. Will he win the SEC and make the playoffs 2 or 3 years? No.
For all the LSU is easy to win NC at with a good coach.... the years 1958-2003 need to talk to you.

I agree with everything you wrote, other than the premise that I, or anyone else with a clue, isn't giving the staff plenty of credit for the class. Outside of a few sick bastards, we're all here because, in some form, we enjoy rooting for Texas and want to see the program doing well. Sarkisian and staff had help karmically and otherwise, but they deserve whatever non-ignorant praise board denizens wish to lavish upon them.
I have no ill will towards Sarkisian and I don't think many on here do. I'm all for seeing him create a dynastic legacy of winning title after title at Texas. That would be awesome.
None of that was the crux of the small debate. Roma made a post in which he called out those who were "worried about Sark getting complacent" (paraphrasing probably). I simply responded with "what in the fuck is there for Sarkisian to get complacent about at this point?" (paraphrasing probably). Then Roma intimated something negative about that premise and then I became a dog with a bone defending those who refuse the benefit of the doubt for September Wins Steve until proven otherwise. Etc. So forth.
Everyone should be stoked about the 2022 class, Ewers, NIL, Choice coming and Coleman going, and several potential big fish in the portal (or soon to be in the portal) coming to Texas. I know I am.
My apologies, I wasn't meaning to so much direct that at you. It more just came about from the typical sunshine pumper vs. hater debate that runs on this board. I just thought your quote was a good one to respond to.
There are a few twits on here who think Sark is purely the victim of the roster and is largely blameless and a few that somehow think this recruiting class came to be soley through the use of NIL and some well timed coach relocations....

I have to give the ags credit. The idea that A&M and Mizzou are what allowed the SEC network to exist is pretty much olympic level mental gymnastics...
