[immamac 44420]

Now that it's confirmed official, let's collectively come up with realistic expectations that would be success criteria. Include your measurements or goals. 

[Incredulity 11882]

Show me a loss?

[Michael Knight 13239]

Big 12 championship and top 3 recruiting class

[David Dennison 19569]

Beat OU.

Make it to the Big 12 championship game.

Those should be the expectations for any coach, every year.

[Valmy77 13626]

Beat OU. Win Big 12.

[Henry Hill 3156]

A win against OU and a spot in the CCG. Beating OU twice would be...

Edited January 2, 2021 by Henry Hill

[Js1 87288]

Beat TCU and ISU

[texifornia 59065]

Make the CCG. Top 5 recruiting class.

[utee94 16091]

  Beat the meth heads.  Beat the cockroaches.  Win the b12.  

[Brothahorn 10100]

No more games where your QB is the short yardage back.

[YChang 3571]

My expectations are modest for now. Let’s go with winning all out of conference games. And not losing to TCU. 

[PassiveAggressiveCoach 118]

Win Big 12.

[ztejas 44285]

Beating OU is always the main objective but I'm not seeing it as make or break for year 1 of Sark. 

I would say:

- Start/go 3-0 in noncon 

- beat TCU's bitchass 

- at least keep the OU game competitive if we don't win 

- no more than 2 losses in conference play - which should get us to Arlington 

10-3 or 11-2 depending on B12 CCG result is acceptable for me. 9-3 with no trip to Arlington might be cause for concern because this roster is in win-now shape. Anything past that is gravy. 

[South Austin 53269]

We all get laid

Going undefeated in conference is modest? We haven't done that since 2009.

[TommyGufano 6027]

#2 recruiting class and convincing win over bama in NCG 🤘

Okay, maybe #2 recruiting class and 10 wins

[MIkeHoncho 2102]

 

[Sgt Hulk 14470]

No more 4th and 1 snaps to a qb 5 yards deep and just run.  7 yards for 1 yard 

[Hunt Stevenson 41]

Hire a great, not good, staff

Lose no more than two games

Beat OU

Recruit very well

Non-conf games

[ClubWhatever 12324]

Get the ball to your best players with calls that aren’t stupid.  Don’t make game management decisions that reduce your chance to win.  Get a real OL coach.   Stay sober.

This CC should be realistic based on the young talent on display in the Alamo Bowl.

This would be 100% done if you just introduce us to your mom. 

[bmbmd 1040]

Make us proud.  Don’t be a douche.  

[perfectchaos007 6780]

I'm tired of rebuilding, I'm tired of wandering the wilderness, We need to play for a Big 12 CCG every year including year 1

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

He gets dkr to serve McRibs.

the rest I’ll wait till I see who his stuff will be. If he is hearts and hugs hires his bffs we will go 7-5. If he hires a bad ass staff 10-2 or 9-3 is doable.

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

Win the CFP CG by more points than all previous games combined.  

[jw4381 3251]

10-2 regular season 

beat 0u

win bowl game 

<5 wtf moments

[CastHorn 908]

OU is a top 3 team next season. We have the type of roster to compete with them though. That game will let us know early where we are.

[USMCHorn 1369]

NY6 Bowl berth and a top 5 2022 recruiting class.

NSD 2 gonna be lit, yall

[perfectchaos007 6780]

IDC if he's working for Alabama another 9 days, he needs to start building relationships with Texas players TODAY otherwise I expect Texas players to hit the portal between now and next Monday

[Sgt Hulk 14470]

Also be a pipe hitting gangster that fucks feelings in the face. No mercy no best friend turtle dildo marching shit. Instill a culture of hatred of anyone in a diff color Jersey during game time. Be buddies before ans after the game. Shake hands but during the game fucking blood everywhere 

[hornmpa96 2671]

Win out in Non-conference and play in the Big 12 title game

[Longboard Horn 41396]

Beat OU, TCU and ISU

Win every fucking game. All of them.

[Telegraph_it 3382]

Robinson should get a few snaps at least. Maybe a lot of snaps. 

[LTtxfan 50036]

Hire a great staff including OL Coach.

Maybe he can get Nick to make a few calls for him.

[Mez2 4048]

Do not lose to Maryland

[FloridaHorn 4887]

Just put the best players on the field and stay on the gas. He will recruit well, and I expect we are competing for championships in year two.

[Effyourcouch 125]

Use the RB properly 

[Burt Macklin 19230]

Holy shit the expectations in this thread are ridiculous. We have some really good talent but we also have a lot of holes on the roster, and a bunch of unknowns. That bowl game made a lot of guys look better than they are, including Casey. 
If he goes 9-3 and recruits lights out it will be a great year, yet y’all will be bitching and moaning because he didn’t meet your dumb expectations.

Fuck it.  11-1 regular season. Our OOC schedule is weak.  OU should be very good, but we have way more talent than everyone else in the conference.

Unless he reloads with a big new coach bump recruiting class, 2022  could be dicey as the roster could be more questionable once the 2018 class loses more guys like Overshown, Coburn, Jamison, etc., and the schedule will be a lot tougher with Bama.   But we’re still set up well for 2021.  We should compete for the Big 12 championship and a playoff spot with good coaching.  

Don’t forget the one time transfer rule. We should be able to get what we need. 

[mr.goodkat 469]

beat ou both times
