Pinch me right now as I couldn't be happier with Sarkisian and his staff. It's a long season and we haven't really faced any adversity yet on the field, but I want to express my appreciation after we've been wandering the college football desert for the last 15 years.
- I love that our Head Coach is also our OC/playcaller. There is so much turnover with coordinators around college football, and it can really stall a program when you the next guy doesn't work out. Look at OU's situation right now. Look at Kansas and others. We have the most player friendly and NFL ready offense in college football, and since Sark is the architect, the best HS QBs and offensive recruits will always want to play here.
- We are handling the timeline with Arch Manning perfectly. We stress DEVELOPMENT and PATIENCE. And the public perception is important too. Nationally I think everyone respects how we're handing the QB situation. That rules. Haters wanted this to be a public debacle and controversy. Sorry, fuckos.
- We have kept most of our staff together. My guess is Flood and Kwiatkowski are not guys looking for a HC job. Flood has been there done that, and it seems like PK is a lifer at DC. Maybe I'm wrong. Nansen looks like an amazing hire so far. We might lose Tashard Choice at some point and that will suck, but what a sweet job opening that Sark could easily fill.
- Recruiting's been great. We used to lose out on the Ryan Wingos and Colin Simmons and Anthony Hills of the world. We actually develop our players, which is something we struggled with even during the Mack glory days.
Texas football at this moment feels actually good for my health. What a world.
