    This is a vast overstatement. They’ve just looked a lot less like the Alabama we’ve become accustomed to, but they haven’t looked horrible. This is still a very capable team with some glaring deficiencies. The same could be said about Texas.

    I was curious, because this is true. Whittington is gone. Pending Worthy, Mitchell, and Sanders all leave (which is extremely likely), Texas stands to lose (through six games): 71.4% of total receptions 94.2% of receptions by WRs All receiving TDs except for one each by Brooks, Helm, and Byron Murphy II. Neyor, Cook, and Moore need to get some late-season run to develop. However, Sark doesn't like to rotate WRs much, so who knows. Ewers is likely to leave, and who know about Brooks. Texas will most assuredly go big-game hunting in the portal at TE and WR. Outside of most of the OL (Jones), the entire offense could be new starters.

    Well, let’s hope it’s in December in Dallas for something that matters a great deal.

    100%. Their program blowing up just as Texas enters the SEC is the best possible scenario. I hope they go 7-5, at best.

    To be completely fair, I agree with everything you said. 9-3, especially without a conference title game appearance, would be an objective failure for 2023. I Just don't think his trajectory can be explicitly stated as a failure given all of the improvements to the program and improvements in season-over-season outcomes. Season and tenure results can be viewed separately, IMO. I'm also not sure where you took, "If posters are ok with losing to OU and going 9-3 and all that," or "No worries man. It’s cool. No biggie. 5-7. It’s fine. 8-5. It’s fine." from what I said. I said, "I'll be very disappointed if Texas doesn't play for a conference title."

    I would agree with you from a season outcome standpoint, but the overall trajectory of his time here looks pretty good even at 9-3. Now, I don't expect a 9-3 regular season, especially without one of those losses being to Alabama. My belief is that 10-2 is most likely, and hopefully it's enough to get to Dallas against (probably) OU-sucks in December. It's likely that OU is better than we all thought. At the same time, Texas played like ass for large stretches and still almost won. Let's see what happens the rest of the way.

    This is a classic case of hindsight is 20/20. In all reality, not employing Cook more didn't lose Texas this game. As you said, there are a lot of weapons, and we saw new offensive strategies deployed that we hadn't previously. There were some pivotal second-half decisions and unfortunately plays where Texas didn't execute, and those decided the outcome late.

    Getting back on topic, I'm not sure anyone can say Sark is a failed three-year coach if his trajectory is: 2021: 5-7 2022: 8-5 2023: Anywhere from 9-4 to 13-2 is still realistic in terms of probability. I think something like a 9-3 to a 11-1 regular season is likely, and then all bets are off after that. Given that he inherited a terribly constructed roster and has completely changed that, the culture, and Texas' chances heading into the SEC, he's largely been a success. Now, he needs to alter some of his in-game decisions, but he's done extremely well, overall. Given the competitive landscape this season in the BigXII, I'll be very disappointed if Texas doesn't play for a conference title, but my disappointment doesn't equate to Sark failing.

    Enjoy the perceived internet "win." I'm sorry it may be the most joy you experience today. Bye-bye.

    You have no idea what I contribute. No, I don't through Burnt Ends, but there are plenty of avenues that don't have to go through Surly. Now, I'll see myself out before I start clogging up more posts with off-topic in-fighting.

    You want to know how I know you have children at home?

    Hey, to my late grandmother who suffered from Alzheimer's and dementia, the potpourri bowl was just filled with bad tasting/textured candy. Now that I think about it, this thread resembles much of her erratic and illogical behavior, recently.

    Good thing to know I'm supposed to keep a detailed inventory of over 500 posters intricate opinions. Thanks. I come here for information and humor, not to live vicariously through internet "friends." Maybe if you posted better and didn't leave out key information, people wouldn't make fun of your shitty takes so much.

    Nothing is obvious when you make a blanket statement and don't proclaim your assumptions/exceptions.

    If you think Mack was a failed hire, I'm not sure what to tell you. He's the second-best coach at UT of all time. Now, did he largely fail at the end of his tenure in Austin and make some other critical mistakes, yes. But GTFO here with this awful take.
  16. MuellerHorn
    Fucking prevent defense just prevents you from winning.

    That's fine. I'm not sure the money is there to buy out Jimbo, buy out a great coach from another school (pending one wants to come), and continue the bag game to the same extent as they've been doing. Tradeoff theory is going to apply in some form.

    I'm not going to officially quote the idiot, but I'll respond: "The RS Frosh from Aledo" = B.J. Allen Jr., who was not a five-star recruit. The five-star from Louisiana is Derek Williams Jr.

    Forgive me, as this has been addressed before, but what is the roster limit this year (are there still COVID exceptions?) and how many does Pierce need to cut? I know it's a higher number than usual.
  21. MuellerHorn
    I agree with you on all of this. I also don't believe punters or kickers should count towards a team's average class score.
  22. MuellerHorn
    Done. However, I may have left too much evidence on the roof.
  23. MuellerHorn
    Comparing Bijan to Brooks isn't a great comp either. Bijan is a generational talent and is elite in every other category besides top-end speed. That's what Texas has this season. They potentially lose Brooks and do lose Robinson. Lose both and it's net-zero from a numbers perspective in the room. However, I do believe you are correct: I doubt we see no movement. I'd like to explore Red in the slot. I believe his positional flexibility and gadget capabilities are too beneficial to let walk.
  24. MuellerHorn
    Win this weekend (especially convincingly) and Texas might be ranked 1.
  25. MuellerHorn
    He won't. Pre-draft grades for early entrants are given on a first, second, or the rest basis. Brooks isn't going to get a first or second-round grade. That being said, he could definitely still leave.
