That TCU game was fun. The week before, Kevin Mar’s crew let KSU mug Worthy. I guess TCU thought they’d get to do the same. Their plan was to single their shutdown corner, Josh Newton, on him, freeing up the rest of the defense to focus on the rest. That plan didn’t work out like they thought it would.

aggy will still have a year left of paying Jimbo when Sark's extension expires. Lulz

I really, really like this hire. To fill its job opening, Texas needed someone with experience, who can coach, and who can recruit like a fiend. Sark is all three. Yes, Sark has made mistake

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'

The fastest man on earth just said that joining Sark took him to places they never thought possible with all the football world's spotlight on him.

You do realize X is nowhere near the "fastest man on earth", right?

It’s fully guaranteed as all major college coaches contracts are. This isn’t that difficult, holy fuck. 

Not all are fully guaranteed.  Elko I think gets something like 75% of his contract if fired early.  So it is partially guaranteed.

Well... yeah, if you think there are 8,000,000 people faster than he is. 

 

 

 

EDIT: changed 8,000,000 men to 8,000,000 people to avoid appearance of genderism, just in case one or more of those 8,000,000 identify as female.

 

 

 

 

EDIT: which probably wouldn't surprise anyone.

Using a unique scenario because of them paying Jimbo 7+ million to not coach isn't a great argument.

Matt Rhule's contract is not fully guaranteed.

Brian Harsin's contract was partially guaranteed.  He received 70% of his remaining contract.

Malzahn received 75% of his remaining contract.

It is actually common for coaches to not get full amount of contract if terminated without cause.

So 4-5 coaches out of how many p4? Yeah so common

Right, we could add some more 9s in there. Probably several more. Point is, relatively speaking, he is firmly in a tiny population of fastest humans.

Sure.  I think my statement was more accurate than what I was responding to.  I suspect there are hundreds of men who could run the 40 faster than X.  Football times just don't match sprinter times.

Innumeracy is a major problem, glossed over by people worldwide. It rears its head when we get past the stage of making the next value after "1, 2, 3..." turn out to be "many".

Hundreds? Ain't no fucking way.

This dude is known for his starting ability, holds the 60m world record, holds the 6th fastest 100m of all time and posted a 4.12 (what looks like an extremely unofficial 4.12, btw).

Sprinters don't train for the 40 the way football players do. I'd be surprised if you could find more than 20 or 25 track athletes that could post a sub 4.2.

Let's keep in mind that you make a lot more money playing football than running track.

Does anyone else think the buyout is really small? 10M in year one and it decreases quickly. 

Quote

On the other side of things, if Sarkisian were to resign or terminate the deal for whatever reason in 2024, he would owe $10 million to UT. That drops to $6 million in 2025, $4 million in 2026, $3 million in 2027, $2 million in 2028 and 2029, and $1 million in 2030

Perhaps a sign that CDC is quite confident Sark won’t leave us for another job and that’s his way to expressing it?

Yeah that is very surprising. Basically pointless at that level, wouldn't be a problem for any big program. Gives Sark all the leverage in any future negotiations.

Texas always has small buyouts, where have y'all been? It comes from the "if they don't want to be here then we're not making them stay" perspective, which works when you're a place people generally don't want to leave.

I always assumed Shaka’s buyout for leaving for Marquette was “thank fucking god, just get out”

Someone should tell fake Billy Vegas that, yes, indeed, he is mathing wrong. 

Even if the actual contract details above were posted to rebut Juanny, that waterhead fool would try to respond with some imbecilic blather.

Sorta like that dumbass aggy airhead broad who kept trying to claim on air that aTm was richer than Texas.

For those of you with equally bad math skills, here's the actual math:

Quote

 

Should Sarkisian be let go after the 2024 season without cause, Texas would owe him $54,315,000. 

If let go after the 2025 campaign, Texas would be on the hook for $45,475,000.

Following 2026, his buyout decreases to $36,550,000.

An early termination without cause after the 2027 season would result in a $27,540,000 buyout for Sarkisian.

A parting of ways after 2028 would mean Texas owes Sarkisian $18,445,000.

If Sarkisian and Texas ended their relationship after the 2029 season, Texas would owe $9,265,000.

I missed the sark contract details, but the deboer contract made me curious. It seems jimbo effectively reset coach comp - agents now know there will always be a dumbass willing to obliterate the market for marginal talent.

What job out there is more attractive than The University of Texas, or even equal at the moment? Sark isn't going anywhere else unless asked to do so by the University of Texas.

Edit- non-NFL coaching job that is.

He’s the fastest man that ever did something cool with it like play WR at Texas and go kill it at the combine.

I wonder what all this feels like to Sark. Given interviews, he's clearly feeling it. He outright says he is aiming to be on the level of DKR or Mack Brown, i.e. a generational coach at UT. I feel like compared to many other coaches, I've heard more about Sark's very long struggles to get here. I can't imagine what this excitement feels like for him, to see his life's work coming together at the right time, the crescendo looking like it'll line up with one of the most critical periods in school history. What does it feel like to become a legend in real time? To watch a legacy cement and know that people will talk about you even after you are dead. Especially when you're doing it on a legit second chance after you fucked it up the first time. I can't imagine the swing in validation, from the lowest point in your life, to quite literally achieving your life dream. I sincerely hope Sark becomes what he wants to become and takes us to the top with him, I want some good stuff to happen to UT football.

I am a flawed person, I have had bouts with addiction in the past, and everyone feels inadequate sometimes. I love redemption stories, and flawed heroes. I see in Sark a person who isn't perfect but is still striving for greatness. It inspires me and makes me want to be better than I am.
