  1. None of this matters.
  2. That is actually a great question and I thank you for asking it. What I want is a coach that can motivate a player to say what Fernando Mendoza said after beating Ohio State. I highlighted the parts that are most instructional: "We were never supposed to be in this position, but by the glory of God, great teammates and great coaches around us, we were able to pull this off, and now the Hoosiers are flipping' champs. Let's go! IT'S THE RIGHT PLACE CAUSE WE'RE PROCESS-ORIENTED. We're going day-by-day. The offensive line, the defense, the coaches, the special teams. WE'RE ALL PROCESS-ORIENTED TO ONE GOAL. We're brothers, cause we know we're going to stick together to make the strongest glue ever." (ABOUT WR CHARLIE BECKER) "Charlie is incredible cause EVERY DAY THIS SUMMER AND EVERY DAY BEFORE PRACTICE WE THROW. AT 7AM ON SUNDAYS. DOING ROUTES. And now it's all coming to fruition. As well as our defense playing light's out, along with everybody. What an incredible moment." IMHO, that's what it takes to be exceptional in anything. I think Sark is capable of fielding a good team, but not an exceptional one with the attitude Mendoza illustrated for us. His teams are a reflection of him — they are, for various culture reasons, dispassionate. So yes, sadly, I want a new coach. ☹️
  3. Watching Cignetti's team currently tearing Alabama a new one. Compare how they play full-throttle all game to how Sark's teams played in year five. Indiana is ahead 38-3 and Cignetti looks pissed at his defense. It took Cignetti less than two seasons to build this team. Sark is finished with year five and it's a mess with excuses about babysitting coaches, no featured running backs, and wide receivers who can't catch. But it's the defenive coach's fault. Glad we got that cleared up. But trust in the process with Sark. We need to give him another five-to-seven years so he can really implement his program and come up with a new slogan.
  4. Amazing that so many people are just fine with mediocre results. It’s very TexAgs, honestly.
  5. So Texas isn't the richest athletic program and we made the 12-team playoffs?
  6. Totally 100% agree. It's not that hard.
  7. So Texas isn't the richest program yet couldn't get into the 12 team playoff? Care to actually address that issue?
  8. Fair enough. Here's one: 2025-26 College Football Playoff Teams (12-Team Format) #1 Indiana Hoosiers (Big Ten) #2 Ohio State Buckeyes (Big Ten) #3 Georgia Bulldogs (SEC) #4 Texas Tech Red Raiders (Big 12) #5 Oregon Ducks (Big Ten) #6 Ole Miss Rebels (SEC) #7 Texas A&M Aggies (SEC) #8 Oklahoma Sooners (SEC) #9 Alabama Crimson Tide (SEC) #10 Miami Hurricanes (ACC) #11 Tulane Green Wave (AAC) #12 James Madison Dukes (Sun Belt) Here's another: Richest College Athletic Programs (2025 Valuation) University of Texas ($1.48B): Leads in revenue, driven by $137 million in donations and a massive NIL budget of $35M-$40M for 2025. Ohio State University ($1.35B): Consistently among the top, with high revenue from football and large athletic department valuation. Texas A&M University ($1.32B): A top SEC program with significant valuation. University of Georgia ($1.16B): Boosted by recent national championship success and growing revenue. University of Michigan ($1.16B): A perennial top-five program in revenue and valuation. University of Notre Dame ($1.13B): Strong independent, consistently high-valued, and revenue-generating.
  9. You can continue to support Sark all you want, and I will continue to share the myriad of reasons why he's not good enough. I'm actually not a hater. No one on this site has spent more time with the players, than I have and over the last four years, I have learned that they are amazing people. They deserve the best. So do the fans who are asked to contribute so much.
  10. Yes, the Beard situation is unique for us, because he was a clearly a great coach, and he screwed it up. He doesn't belong in a list of mediocrity alongside Terry, Smart, Strong and Herman who all sucked beyond all comprehension. Sark is better than those losers. But I don't see him winning a championship for Texas, and since that should be always the goal.
  11. Using the proof point that we won a meaningless exhibition game played by mostly scrubs while the 12-team playoffs are going on is quite a flex.
  12. They have been able to produce winners in football and basketball that greatly exceed anything we have done over the last 16 years. Perhaps they have better organization and cohesion on the highest levels that allows them to choose and support great coaches. Between Strong, Herman, Smart and Beard, we have been a mess, and that's being charitable. Currently, I would argue that it's a better job than UT.
  13. Oregon is an incredible job. Yet writers said, 'pay Dan Lanning whatever it takes' to make him take the Michigan job. Nobody wrote that about Sark. So is Alabama, which is arguably a better job than Texas. Yet Kalen Deboer had to make a public statement to get people to back off. Sark didn't have to make a statement because, well, there was no attempt to get him. My point is that Sark never gets in any lists for hottest coach. None. I think Sark is, at best, a mid-level coach who will produce mid-level results. Yet some of you seem perfectly fine with that.
  14. Watch out. The Sark lovers aplogists Who expects next season under Sark to be any different?
