    It's been so long I have forgotten: was Howard S. off the wagon, or did y'all shitcan him purely based on the crappy job he did in his only season at OU?

    Either way, he's my case study in why it's good to ditch somebody after just one season if that season is craptacular enough.

    If this season doesn't qualify as "craptacular", I don't know what does.

    Hard to believe Sark is worse than Strong, but I think we're all close knowing he is/will be.

    I'm going to bet you've never spent a lot of time in West Virginia. 

    Some guys on a different thread are bitching about BMDs. That is the stadium you get without BMDs.

    Never been, but the luxury box comment was tongue-in-cheek.

    Puskar looks like an oversized Tulley/Rhodes/Mercer stadium. Where are the luxury boxes?

    The politically ambitions governor continues to nominate regents who place their personal interests above those of the students and student-athletes. The university administrators place their own personal financial interests and career ambitions above the interests of the students and the student-athletes. The students and student-athletes understand "excellence" and "accountability" are empty words on the 40 Acres. It's one big leadership void.

    UT kicks ass at every sport but football, last I checked. Won the Director's Cup last year. If anything, CDC and Hartzell just aren't tough enough while trying to please everyone, especially the money. They just collaborated on a bad hire, much to our chagrin.

    I didn't think it could get worse than Charlie, but here we are. FML

    So Dorbah was another terrible Herman evaluation...

    From what I hear from a current UT student, the same is true about Tyler Johnson who is more focused on music than football.  

    In Herman's defense, how do you measure "love for the game" or commitment?

    The HS players' coaches are all gonna pump sunshine up his ass. Video and recruiting services are what college coaches have to go on. Head coaches don't have enough time around players to know them personally before they're signed and on campus.

    He’s definitely the one that scared Saban off. And I’m sure he talked to Urban. And Mack was the one who was buddy-buddy with powerful boosters and used them to hold the mob at bay while he continued to steal from us. 

    I'm surprised both Saban and Urban aren't smart enough to know Mack's sabotage is just sour grapes. All big time programs have meddling, jock-sniffing BMDs. It just takes a stronger administration - AD and Prez - to tell them to get fucked, when necessary. Easier said than done, I know.

    It just looks to me like Hartzell, CDC, and Eltife & cronies made a bad choice in Sark. That's all. Good OC, bad HC. But, his track record already says that.

    Stream of consciousness....

    Many of the cited stories about Sarkisian came up right after he was hired.  At the time, they were dismissed as the bad decision making of a drunk.  It was followed by, "He's sober now, so not a problem."  These stories are convenient to bring up now because we are rightfully frustrated at the results.  They are not going to retroactively un-hire him because of these stories.

    Eltife - stay away - whatever the reason for attending practice, it's a bad look.  You have his phone number; call him.  Geniuses like Anwar and Brian Davis will find someone for a sound-bite.  Regardless of purpose - pressure, support, wanted to watch, whatever - the local press guys will spin it or screw it up.

    Another problem we have is that we know (or think we know) how the sausage is being made.  And when we bite into a rodent part, we get pissed.  My recollection

    • Mack Brown - Dodds wanted Barnett.  Hicks and Royal wanted Brown.  Brown disappoints: why in the hell was Hicks involved?
    • Strong - Powers, Patterson used Korn Ferry as cover.  Strong poops the bed: Patterson is a moron; Korn Ferry?  Where were the BMDs in this?
    • Herman - BMDs pressured to hire Herman.  Herman is a buffoon/drunk/etc.: where was the AD and administration in this?
    • Sark - BOR chair "led".  Sark disappoints: "Should we have kept Herman?" (NO!) Where was CDC?  What about the BMDs?

    Sometimes I wonder if it was better that I did not know how the sausage was being made.  Just take an occasional bite and pray I do not eat rat entrails.  However, I find it entertaining and interacting w/ folks about it is fun.

    Last weekend, I am pretty sure I bit into some rat.  But, I survived.
