The 2nd Most Important Position Behind QB Isā¦
LT has a strong argument given it protects most QBās. I used to think Edge, but they arenāt involved in a lot of plays, so I discounted that. Shutdown CB has an argument, but I can only think of maybe a dozen ever who were so good they shut down half the field. So, thatās trying to find a unicorn like Deion.

The 2nd Most Important Position Behind QB Isā¦
DT/NT. Yup. I said it. They stuff the run game. They clog the middle. They reduce the time DBās have to cover. They make it easier for LBās to shoot gaps. They are important on every single play. They charge the entire complexion of a defense. Think back to some of the best Texas teams and they usually had strong NT/DTās, often NFL quality. Now look at this yearās Texas team. Good NT/DT play, but not elite, NFL quality. And as a result, Texas isnāt elite. Iād put more NIL money on DTās in the future if we arenāt getting the best available. Any other position worthy of mention?

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Because heās got way more experience in this area than most posters on this board. I heard from the day he was hired, that he never did stop drinking, that he just controlled it. I donāt see how thatās possible given his history, but Iām no expert.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I donāt like this post. I wanted to be unreasonably angry. Therefore, Iām going to ignore this and label all these 3 star flips as failures before they step on campus.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Couldnāt watch the game live yesterday. Had a conflict. Watching it this morning. For the third straight week, Sark has finally started mixing in short routes a few yards off the line of scrimmage, where they run slants against mtm coverage, or plant into an open space against zone coverage. Why the hell he didnāt do this before is a mystery. Not only does this move the chains, it opens up intermediate and long passing routes, as well as the run game. I stopped watching the Georgia game in the second half so Iām not sure what they did against them, but with these adjustments no defense in the country should be able to stop this offense. Too bad they blew the season before figuring it out.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I was very concerned about his comment regarding being a great OC was why he was hired. That comment revealed an incredibly troubling issue. When I used to consult for CEOās of companies on strategic and operational issues, I sometimes ran into CEOās who didnāt understand the fact that their value to the company was no longer their functional expertise in a particular area. It was their overall ability to grow and take on higher level responsibilities. Companies run by these types of CEOās were A MESS. It demonstrates he either has no mentor of value, or isnāt listening to his mentor. Sometimes, I could get through to these broken CEOās to get them to change, but more often than not, they were just wired that way. I am very skeptical that this guy is running his program with the proper attention to detail and efficient use of resources. Based on that one statement of his alone, I was ready for him to be booted out unless there was ample evidence of his ability to be mentored and to learn. I doubt it.

Best cast in any film all-time
Lots of great movies and casts listed in the thread. However some of those suggested are focused more on the star power, or acknowledged great actors, or sheer quantity of actors. Am watching the 2009 Star Trek remake. Their casting choices were phenomenal. Many of the actors were known but not yet huge stars. And the fit with the previous Star Trek characters was outstanding. They didnāt come across as Rich Little impersonators, but they captured the essence of the previous characters. Whoever did casting for that movie did an incredible job.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play
Iām sorry what CTJ post are you referencing? I never saw anything from him that implied there were any confirmed views Sark is gone.

Iāve read this three times and concluded it makes no sense whatsoever. I have no idea what you were trying to say.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
So this thread is moving at the speed of light and despite my best efforts to get the gist of the situation, Iām unclear on whether anyone has confirmed off the field issues that put Sark at risk of parting ways with Texas. It is known that nfl jobs are a possibility, but what about personal issues?

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I donāt understand everyone talking about changes he needs to make. He never specifically refuted the NFL rumors, wants to go to the NFL, and 2027 recruiting is not good. He has one or both feet out the door. If he doesnāt already have a deal locked up, he will most likely show the same lack of commitment next year as he has this year, while he waits for a deal. Of course, sitting around here and failing is a sure fire way to lose out on nfl opportunities. Heās dangerously close to blowing it here, and not being able to go there. If he really wants to be here, he needs to immediately refute the nfl rumors, pick up his own personal pace on 2027 recruiting, reassuring spooked recruits, and hint at changes. Otherwise, the program will take a huge step backward in 2026 and then it will be a mess for him and Texas.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Luka was a massive star that made Dallas relevant. So trading him at all was a bad idea, howeverā¦if they would have made a solid blockbuster trade where they really got full value, and there was an exciting future for the Mavs in the next 3-5 years, then I would have been okay with it. But the trade as executed has destroyed the franchise for 10 years at least because they have no draft picks.

The Mavs are my second favorite nba team behind the Spurs and I canāt let go of this abomination of a trade. I canāt imagine what itās like for the prime Mavās fans. I feel really bad for those folks.

Wtf? I checked this thread a day ago and 12 pages have been added. As far as I can tell there hasnāt been any new information? Sexton and Sark didnāt rep Howardās post. Thatās impossible.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
It has been known for almost a year he was looking. I pointed that out on surly probably more than 9 months ago, and several posters couldnāt fathom him wanting to leave and thought the rumor was bs. Since the rumor mill is flying, letās clarify one rumor that was somewhat right but not quite. The rumor about Jerry Jones wanting to hire him was before he selected Schotty. Why the process broke down with Sark is unclear. Whether thatās why Sark missed time in January including Junior Day is also unclear. But itās sounding like he found plan B. Jets? Donāt know.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
A poster pointed out sark could call plays in the NFL since many coaches do. You then said āno they donātā. A poster then listed a long list of nfl coaches who call their own plays. You were wrong. Take the loss pussy.

Anyone else believe PK is leaving because heās unhappy and/or believes Sark is leaving? There were rumors. The biggest telltale sign imo is 2027 recruiting.
