    Sark isn't "using" NIL; NIL was built and will operate with or without him. And whatever Herman was doing, it obviously wasn't enough. We're clearly much better at NIL than the old bag game, which is a huge advantage to Sark. Too bad he sucks.
  2. TXpride
    NIL is a whole different level than whatever $100 handshakes Herman was giving out. We're talking hundreds of thousands (some cases millions) of dollars. Point is, recruiting will be fine with or without Sark.
  3. TXpride
    Couldn't be worse than what we're seeing with Ewers. Hell, Casey Thompson looked like a stud the few snaps he played under Herman. Maybe Tom actually knew a thing or two about coaching QBs.

    Herman without NIL was better than Sark.
  5. TXpride
    He's a real dandy boy.
  6. TXpride
    There's nothing Sark could've done guys. We just don't have the players. But once he gets his guys in here, look out; we might be able to score more points on TCU than Tarleton State.

    He has a major second half/adjustment problem, and he doesn't know how to fix it. Anyone denying that at this point has their head in the sand. He's also nearly 50 years old with 20+ years of coaching experience. There's no light bulb waiting to come on. Our only hope is that he can accumulate enough talent to cover up his deficiencies, and I'm not sure that's even possible.
  8. TXpride
    No, we completely turtled. The win doesn't change that fact. It was one of the worst displays of turtling I've ever seen.
  9. TXpride
    Slow motion car wreck.

    Most of us aren't saying he should be fired this season (although if he loses out, he probably should be). We're saying we see the writing on the wall. Great coaches don't have this many red flags. And Nebraska sucks because they're in the middle of nowhere and their recruiting fell off a cliff (in addition to hiring shitty coaches). We don't have that problem and never will.

    Not sure what point you're trying to make, other than we all need to shut up and accept mediocrity. Not doing it. Every program with expectations fires mediocre coaches. Bama is the best example because they're the most successful, but every program that gives two shits about football does it. Only mediocre programs keep mediocre coaches.
  12. TXpride
    Bama kept firing coaches until they got Saban. Didn't seem to matter once they got their guy. Look up the coaching history of any blue blood program and it's usually the same story: 2 or 3 legendary coaches with long tenures, and a bunch of bums who lasted 3-4 years. Maybe Sark suddenly gets it and becomes the guy (unlikely based on history and his performance thus far), but you don't keep him around just for the sake of continuity; no program with expectations does that. If the results are still mediocre after 3-4 years, you try again.
  13. TXpride
    We already went that route and he turned us down. I doubt we'll make another run at him, but it's not because we're above it.
  14. TXpride
    Recruiting has improved largely due to NIL. Ewers and most of last year's O-line haul wouldn't be here if not for NIL. As long as we can (legally) drop bags, we'll get players, regardless of who the coach is. The ability to hire a great staff is far more important.
  15. TXpride
    He failed in the NFL. The vast majority of coaches do. But he was successful at both stops in college and had three 10+ win seasons, which is three more than Sark. Not saying he'd be my first choice, but Saban/Urban/Dabo aren't walking through that door.
  16. TXpride
    According to this site we would owe him $15.7M at the end of this season. If we lose out and Arch decommits I could see it happening. But the Urban ship has sailed. We'd probably go after Rhule.
  17. TXpride
    Ah yes the Sims game.. Looked it up, he actually went to 4 (99 vs Nebraska) So yeah, Mack was way better than Herman.
  18. TXpride
    True, but Mack should've gone to 3 and we were arguably the best team in the country each of those years (definitely in 05, obviously). He also had to share a division with prime Stoops, who owned his ass; despite shitting the bed against OU, I would take those early 00s teams over Herman's CCG team that lost 4 games.
  19. TXpride
    Eh, he had 4 years and managed 1 CCG appearance.. and we couldn't really bring him back after going all out for Urban. It's hard to say what would've happened if he had NIL money to throw around, but my guess is he'd still be good for at least 2-3 WTF losses every year. Not the guy, but yes, probably better than Mr. 7 Win.
  20. TXpride
    Herman's buyout was around $15M, which is roughly what we'll owe Sark after this season. You have to think he'll be gone if we go 5-7 again, right? Right???
  21. TXpride
    If you want to actually win anything of significance, you need both.
  22. TXpride
    He's not walking away from that contract.
  23. TXpride
    How long before they conduct an "internal investigation" and try to fire him for cause?
  24. TXpride
    Re-read the post I was responding to..
  25. TXpride
    Sark was a shiny new object, so he can't be fired. Same with Charlie and Herman. But all that really matters is recruiting. Just ask Jimbo.
