This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
To me, the season was officially fucked after the Florida game. All I needed to see to realize this team didn't have it. That was almost 3 months ago. We ended up going 7-1 after that, some ugly games but we basically maxed out our W/L record with this squad. We have Arch and seem primed to make major moves in the portal. Right now is an exciting time.

So after being very deliberate and meditating on this for a while. Why didn't we fire Sark and hire Pete Golding? Gimme someone who knows how to beat UGA. He's defensive minded but has a fun offense. WTF are we doing here?

I have a couple other coaches in mind that we need instead of Sark. I'm being very serious and thoughtful about this, gimme say...another 45-60 minutes to present one to you.

Can confirm that Livingstone is leaving because of mean internet posters. He was made aware of "Jaggy McJaggerson" many months ago, but that't not what really pissed him off. It was the Alan Jackson talk. He's a big Morgan Wallen guy. Decision was made in September.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Can you make it a reacharound? It's only a neg.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Right now I think every Bama fan wishes they would have lost to OU two weeks ago. Now they're stuck with DeBoer for another year most likely.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
We won the bowl game, Arch played well, young guys got significant minutes, finished the season on a high note. Check. He hired Muschamp as DC to completely take over that side of the ball. Check. He hired a new RB coach. Check. Needs to retain some key players. Pending. Portal opens tomorrow. Pending. Other staff moves to come. Pending. We are in the process of locking in. Let's see what the next couple of weeks bring us.- 2026 CFP Quarterfinals Orange Bowl - #5 Oregon vs. #4 Texas Tech
- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
IMO the biggest concern with Arch next year and in the future is that he's basically willing to risk his life on the football field. We've got to shore up the OL and have him pick and choose his spots when to turn it up to 11. We know why Grandpa always ends his calls with Arch with "get down or get out of bounds" or whatever. The guy is a fucking animal and they all know it.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.

LOL, our players and Sark were yelling at the refs that a Michigan defender clapped and caused the errant snap.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Arch Manning would be the #1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Every scout sees his instincts in the pocket and are salivating. The guy is big and fast and strong as fuck. And the ultimate competitor. NFL teams would move mountains to get him. And he's the starting QB at the University of Texas next year. That alone is every reason to want Sark as the HC.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
After the Kentucky debacle and being down 3 scores vs. Miss State in the second half, could we have realistically imagined a better finish and final result for this season? If the players would have checked out back in Starkville, then yeah, Sark ain't it. This particular team faced a SHIT TON of adversity this season, and came out the other side with legit reasons to believe we can win it all in 2026, pending good portal additions and staff improvements.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Happy New Year, Surly bastards. I'm gonna start negging all non-ironic AI slop posted on this website. We can't stop this AI bullshit in society, but we can at least make a difference here. Join me.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Incredible argumentative skills, TO. Sometimes things don't work out. People fuck up and make mistakes. That's what happened this year. I've been plenty critical of Sark through the years, particularly his struggles on game day. This past offseason was his first with mismanaging the roster IMO, by not addressing OL and RB rooms. You can't really fix it in the middle of the season. Even though CFB has turned into a professional sport now, you can't make trades or FA pickups during the season. Overall, this season was a failure. We did not reach our goals. We looked like hammered dogshit on offense for way too long. That said, we pretty much maximized what this 2025 team could be by the end of the season. I'm surprised to say this, but for me the Michigan win might have been the most satisfying game of the year . For all the understandable arrogance talk surrounding Texas Football, this team showed a lot of moxie with a gutted roster and not much to play for. While ND took their ball and went home, we played our asses off vs. an energized and chippy Michigan team. That was probably the most physical game we played in this year. Common sense would tell you that's a sign of a healthy locker room and group of players that like/respect Sark. And look, man...we have Arch Manning. The kid is a fucking warrior and will go down as one of the best and most likable to ever wear the Burnt Orange. A truly generational player that will pay off for the program for years to come.And Sark is the main reason he's here. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Now it's time for Sark to right his wrongs from 2025. Hit the portal hard and fix the offense. He said the Muschamp hire frees him up, let's get it done.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
You lazily used AI to make a point for you, and then bolded a falsely reported and inflated NIL number for 2025. Do better.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
negged for AI slop- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
It would be helpful if you started using legitimate reasons, instead of this ridiculous focus on the candidates for the Michigan job per the media.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I guess it does need to be spelled out for you. Oregon is indeed a great job, but is not considered a blue blood/prestigious program by the media. They are idiots. They don't understand the resources and advantages he has in Eugene. Anyone seriously mentioning Lanning to Michigan seriously doesn't understand CFB anymore. There have been rumors and angst about DeBoer since literally Week 1 this year. Bama fans wanted him gone after FSU loss, way more so than the bitching from a dozen people on Surly about Sark. Personality wise, he is not an ideal fit at Alabama. If they would have lost to OU in 1st round of playoffs, it's possible Bama would have helped him pack for Ann Arbor. It seems you have a rudimentary understanding of the college football landscape, maybe a good idea to just let this go.- 2025 Cotton Bowl - Ohio State vs. Miami

Look, the "culture" stuff does get overplayed, but that was an impressive effort by our entire team tonight. They wanted that win. That game was physical and chippy as fuck with the Michigan players and we knocked them out when it mattered. That's the sign of a healthy locker room and program.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
