Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread

If he is retiring, you’d think sark would take that job instead of texas.  Yes it’s following a legend, but it’s also taking over a well running machine vs taking over a collection of parts.  
...unless they reached out to dabo and got a yes, and told sark he wasn’t getting it. 

One thing that actually gives me hope for this hire is Sark's acceptance of a challenge. I sorta follow UW football because of some friends, and I remember when Sark took that job. I was impressed because he was one of the real up-and-comers as OC at USC and had a lot of national buzz around his name. He probably could have waited for a cushier job than UW, but actually agreed to move all the way up to Seattle to take on a hapless program that hadn't won a game the previous year. I love that he didn't shy away from a massive challenge and that he seemed humble enough to leave the glamor of USC for the Pacific Northwest. Of course, he left to go back to USC, but who could blame him when that job came calling? 

Maybe he's excited for the challenge to try to restore a rusty formerly great program that still has a lot of upside.

I think everyone was saying he did a lot with less talent than most SEC teams and could do a lot more with our more. But not like the OL coach Flood that did more with more talent , but will still do more with our less talent. 

Well, more, more or less.

Why the hell would Sark want Barry Odom as defensive coordinator? Arkansas defense was worse than ours

He got it from 120 to 60th in one year, against an all SEC schedule, with almost zero talent on the field.

Also his experience at those 2 programs plus his time as an assistant should make it easy to transition into the pressures of this job.

No way Saban would let his OC, OL, WR, and TE coaches all leave at the same time. Unless whoever his new OC is would demand his own staff, just seems like way too much turnover for Alabama

Well Sarkisian, Flood, and Wiggins all came to Bama in the same offseason, and Banks was there 1 year prior. Saban's staffs are used to turnover. When you hire competent assistants that kick ass at their jobs, they aren't staying for long.

Surprised we are retaining Matthew Mcconaughey really thought he would have brought in John Hamm they seem to share a similar philosophy 

Hamm left the 40 under bad circumstances the last time he was there.

It's also about perception.  This is a roster that should coast to 10+ wins next season.  Under Herman, there probably isn't much excitement if that includes a loss to OU and no Conference Championship.  With the exact same results under Sark, suddenly we are labeled a program on the rise and a team that recruits will want to play for.  (Not to mention, the fact that he's infinitely more likable than Tom.)

Obviously I hope for better results than that, but this factor cannot be ignored.

 

Herman had to go

• The #17 Nationally Ranked 2021 Recruiting Class
• Only 1 Top 25 recruit in State of Texas signed in 2021 Class
• Horrible outlook for 2022 Class

Reported that TEXAS kicked the tires on Sark, Campbell, and B.Kelly, and probably found Sark to be best combination of fit and willingness to accept the job.

I'm cool with it -- Let's Fuckin' Go !!!  🤘

Gosh no. What is the love affair with flawed assistants. Washington was a decent recruiter and a horrible position coach.

[Texas Wahoo 3,627]

Looks like it’s probably not Odom. 

[USC_TMB 405]

Good luck if Tee Martin comes to Austin as WR coach. His time at USC was lackluster to say the least. He had monster WRs, but there was no development past raw talent. No separation, if they didn’t out-talent the DBs, the passing game suffered. Was known for recruiting and not much else. His stint as OC was a train-wreck. Just an observation on my part. 

[RabidM 2,755]

Sucks on Banks. He's an outstanding special teams coordinator.  Brewster would be great...  Tee Martin could slot there if we hire a different WR coach.  Brewster is probably super attainable.

I dont think I was ever too high on Odom but I do have a tendency to indulge on alcoholic beverages so who knows. I would prefer Arnett to anyone currently mentioned besides Boom. He was up for the Broyles award but I think he just got extended by MSU

Holy shit.  I remember walking by the Sigma Nu house wondering who the sick fucks were that did that to that kid.  I never realized it was him.

Isn't Arnett a 3-3-5 guy?

Just keep Ash around - he's already under contract, players know his system, and he has some familiarity with the various big 12 offenses.

I know it’s a pipe dream but would Arnett be the best choice if we’re trying to squeeze Tosh and Raymond in there?

Arnett Co-DC/LB (lead play caller)

Tosh Co-DC/DL

At least he didn't rip the nutsack off like those sooners did in that Oklahoma bar incident several years back.

We had heard Odom was set to talk or interview with Texas today.

It would also imply he wasn’t offered the job.

We’re watching Zach Arnett from Mississippi State.

And the secondary reason for his firing wouldn’t be his response to the eyes thing or whatever else. It’d be him being a noted asshole who made no allies and built exactly zero relationships with anyone who would go to bat for him in a situation like the one he found himself in this year. If he was less of a prick, maybe people would be more willing to cut him some slack for performance in a weird year and wouldn’t look to him as a scapegoat for the eyes issue. But he wasn’t and here we are.

How do you know this? are you a player, coach, or directly work inside the football department?

[BurntOrange&White 41,661]

IT hinting that Odom likely wasn’t offered the job but did interview. 
 

going to purely speculate that he wanted to bring his version of Valai with him but Sark already has Raymond locked up. Dreams do come true!

Under aggy chad they fucking suuuuuuuucked.  And he drastically improved it.   His track record is very solid (stats somewhere upthread).

I haven’t researched his career but last year his Arky defense finished 106th in total defense. If that’s chicken salad then it tastes like crap.

We finished 62nd, I don’t know what Arky drastically improved from but 106th sucks, unless your league has 1000 teams in it...
