Anyone who definitively declares Sark, at this point in time, a bad head coach is an idiot. 

He may or may not ultimately be successful, but there’s not enough good or bad information to declare him anything. 

Whereas with Strong one could point to the terrible coaching staff hires as the basis for saying he was terrible by season 2.

Strong had a better resume as a HC than Sark. At least he had won something.

Also, there were like 4 people saying Strong was trash at this point and we were roundly ridiculed. I know because Vic Mackey was one of them and I was like “hmmm, am I crazy?”

What we were watching was all part of the plan, they said.

Some people are confident that Sark will win 2 more games this season to finish 9-4. That is possible. 

It is also possible he could lose 2 more games to finish 7-6. 

He could end up 8-5. 
 

But his record absolutely shows he’s not a great coach. And one could argue as many have on this board, that he’s a bad coach.

This is not a bad argument which is why I said “definitively”. Because by your logic Bill Belichick is a bad coach. Now, if you want to say Sark and Bellichick were bad coaches and Bellicheck got better, that’s fair. But again, with your logic you can’t definitively say he’s a bad coach. The irony is I actually believe Saek probably isn’t a very good coach, but I’d rather see the results first before fretting about it for another 6 games.

58-46 overall.  Take out the sisters of the poor and his record against P5 was 36-35 prior to coming here, which is very average. 
 

He’s now 8-11 here at Texas against P5, so I will say he’s not proving that he’s any better at coaching.  The guy is average, it just takes some people longer to see what’s obvious.

It is extremely possible that Belicheck is in fact a decent to bad coach that had the best player to ever play football in the NFL on his team for most of his coaching tenure. 
Brady left and won a Super Bowl and played in an NFC Divisional game. Belicheck ran him off and *checks notes* hasn’t made the playoffs and is *digs further in notes* 36-38 without Tom Brady.

I think you might be bad at critical thinking or actually making arguments based on facts. Texas with this exact roster and someone who doesn't turtle in the 2nd half and let's this team be this team is likely undefeated or at worst a 2 loss team with those 2 losses coming from an OOC opponent early in the season returning the majority of their starters and QB1 going down and the other from a playoff bound #4 ranked team. 

Some of you forget how fucking bad the loss AT TEXAS TECH AFTER LEADING BY 17 in the 2nd half and giving up 6/8 4th down conversions. They ran 99 FUCKING PLAYS from scrimmage. It was so absurdly fucking stupid against an absolute dogshit team. Go watch the fucking game again. It's an embarrassment to the coaching profession to let a team that bad stay in the game for that long and eventually lose in a glorified high school stadium that seats 64k.

Don't even get me started on the OSU loss in Stillwater where we threw the fucking ball 49 FUCKING TIMES WITH THE BEST RUNNING BACK IN THE COUNTRY WHICH THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR AND SCORING 3 WHOLE MOTHER FUCKING POINTS IN THE 2ND HALF. 

The TCU loss was fucking stupid and we got cute game plan wise against something that should have exposed TCU, but didn't. We "schemed out of the game plan" which means we practiced all week for shit we didn't do in game with a young QB who we asked to throw 39 times and ran the best player in the country 12 times. 

Some of you want to blame the players, like what the fuck games are you guys watching. What fucking planet are you on?

Eh, our line (the most important part along with the QB) gets a year older.  There are tons of featured running backs, wide receivers and tight ends you or I can't even name and didn't go on to do anything special or even anything at all at the next level  that have won conference championships and finished AP10 in just the last 5 years who did so because they had kicks ass line and solid QB play.  It's no excuse to me.

Never got the year 2 results fascination. Aranda, Tucker, and Herman all had good year 2’s but sucked or didn’t meet the expected results the following year. There could be more coaches that did this, and there could be others that met year 3 expectations and beyond. I think context matters in that situation. With that said tho Sark should easily have 9 wins this year and some. That blows but beat Baylor and win a bowl game to make it a little better.

Herman was not the problem in year 3. That team had some unfortunate games including the TCU game where Sam threw 4 interceptions. It wasn't coaching that lost games in year 3 it was some pretty bad play. Herman also wasn't a problem in year 4 coaching in game. He had clearly lost the locker room and really fucking pissed off everyone. Herman didn't get fired for his on the field performances, which is why he was surprised when he got fired.

Umm….3rd and 17 zero blitz against LSU? Turtle of all time against Iowa State after scoring 7 first half points? 3 first half points against OU?

And his coaching extends beyond his responsibilities on gameday. As the head coach, he retained his entire staff two straight seasons despite obvious deficiencies just so he could pound his chest and say he got to retain all his staff.

My view from the outside looks like doubt has crept into the locker room for sure. My only gauge on if he’s truly lost the team would be if recruiting (namely Arch) starts to falter. Sounds like you’ve heard enough from the inside to confirm my suspicions.
