Thats why the move made no sense to me. Sure, Sark could end up working out but nothing about his resume suggests he’s an upgrade. His biggest accomplishments as HC were on par with Herman’s Texas tenure. We could be 4-3 with Herman right now and be in a position to hire someone who has accomplished something better than bowl eligibility in his HC career. Or maybe Herman would’ve done better who knows. Either way why bet the next several years on a lateral move?

Lol, what. He’s won 9 games exactly 1 time in 8 seasons as a HC.

 

Herman has done it 3x in 6 years.

The problem is we are on no.4 in less than ten years. Somebody somewhere has got to show us something. 

And we now have two weeks in a row where Sark and the team melted down before our eyes. 

As a fan seeing the same shit now on the 4th iteration is a fucking beating and makes sense that people are fucking twisted. And at what point do you cut bait and try again or do you let someone ride shit out. I don't know.

Herman sucked as a coach.  If he was so good or worth keeping why didn’t one of the 1000 colleges in the country hire him?  Because he sucks, that’s why.  I am not a Sark apologist but the talent on this team sucks, period.  You could have Saban, Meyer, Swinney and Belichick all on the coaching staff and guess what, the O line would still suck, the WR’s would still not be able to catch the ball or break away and the QB would be mediocre at best.  Bijan would still be incredible no matter who the coach is.  It is hard to call an offense when you can’t run or pass block.  I have watched plenty of Patriots games over the last 20 years and even Belichick and Brady at QB looked like shit when the O line was horrific.   The Horns line is the worst I have seen in my 30 plus years watching this team.   The D is just as bad when it comes to talent.  Maybe just maybe they can’t tackle or take good angles not because of the coaches but because they are slow, weak and not that talented overall.  Show me the players on D that would start at any Top 25 school in the country?  Show me the offensive players on this team that would start at any Top 25 school in the country.  Bet you can count the number on one hand and if you take Bijan out of the equation there may not be any.  Think about that for a second.  Not a handful of players that would start for any other top teams but we expect Sark to magically make them good?  Now if Sark doesn’t bring in better payers in the next 12 months then yes, he sucks and will be fired after 3-4 years.

Exactly. You would think after over a decade of this shit, some would be fed up. Last week was one of the worst losses we have had this past shit decade. The way we blew that game and how everything was exposed at once from Sark to Casey. But they really sat on their high horse and negged anyone who spoke out like pussies. It made them feel superior because they believe in Sark. Like there is some waiting period before we can criticize him. I am going to guess those dorks aren't going to be so vocal this week. Because remember, last week meant nothing and we are still on our path for our goals lmao. This fanbase have submitted so much to OU that last week was actually success.

Well, furk.

   Here we go again. We have exactly two elite players on this roster. 2. Just because there is a Longhorn on the side of our helmets you expect us to just walk in the stadium and win. Today Bijan was a wash vs Warren. So where are the other plays going to come from? Who do we have that's better than OSU? And don't tell me about recruiting rankings, show me with the eye test.

   Bottom line, we keep running off coaches and we are going to keep getting the same result, a panicked head coach throwing development to the wind for a "win now or else" fanbase. Until we as fans and alum change our approach, we are going to continue to get the same results. We are just not a good football team. Mediocre QB play, bad O-line play, and mediocrity across the board on defense. Bijan and X can't save us by themselves.

no, was talking about the absolute sinkhole that recruiting had become (losing legacy 5-star recruit for one) and the general chaos that surrounded the football program. not all of it his fault and the admin made a sacrificial lamb of him, but he was well compensated for his time. the program had reached a point where no avenue of light was seen. divorce the decision to hire Sark away from the decision to fire Herman. you can evaluate them independently.

   One day you guys will stop with the "We're Texas" and start looking at the product on the field. We DID NOT evaluate our talent well. J-Whitt is not a 5 star wide receiver. The other receivers are physically meh. We have no special players anywhere on defense. Remember back when we did? Sergio Kindle blowing an assignment but the speed at which he did so? Mike Davis being able to run past anyone but being an idiot? Holton Hill? Even Chykie? Talented players flash brilliance even when they don't really know what they are doing, just look at X. No clue how to run routes but the ability is obvious.

  The program needs to get back to filling it's shelves with NFL looking kids and then go about the act of teaching them how to play football. As long as the head coach is always on the hot seat, potential recruits will hesitate before coming here due to not knowing if the coach will be there long term. This is a vicious cycle created by Texas' expectations.

This argument assumes that top end  players will still come to a program that is losing 7 games a season a la Strong or even winning 8 games a season a la Herman.

There's just something wrong when you have 4-5 former hs All-Americans who were lighting it up and then regressing once they hit our campus. They're being taught shitty technique. Even if you watch Xavier he catches the call with his body, he just happens to be so talented that he can overcome that for now. It's like they don't work on how to properly catch a ball with their hands. They have a shitty teacher, just like Meh was.

Yep that is the question. Is it a lack of talent or is this program just rotten from the core and their talent dies when they get here. We play in a very rich state for high school players. OU gets them just fine and they show out just fine up there. What is going on down here? It seems this program just drains them of their talent. Could be the system is not being favorable to their talent. Our offensive playcalling is piss poor too often. We are about as generic as it gets. Like a boring ass Jason Garrett offense.

And it has been over a decade since we've fielded a very legit QB. Sure, Sam had some good moments here but he was up and down every year. And if he's your best QB in over a decade, then that is a huge issue. What changed from 2000-2009 to 2010-present? It is night and day at every aspect from talent, playcalling, QB talent, coaching and so on. This program has went downhill ever since that night we lost to Bama in 2009. And there is no end in sight. It's the same bullshit cycle of firing coaches every 3 years.

He's good at watching tape and coming up with a game script based on what he's seen from opponents, but once opponents make in game adjustments on him he becomes the human shrug emoji. It's a massive indictment of the previous coaching staff (and the holdovers) that this is roster that either has no talent at a lot of positions or just flat out cannot develop talent (hi Andre Coleman) but you want to make $5.7 million a year and be the head coach at Texas find ways to win coin flips games.

[troph 24547]

The things that get me about Sark - he wouldn’t look at film and picked Card first and didn’t portal for OL. You could argue both of those deficiencies are the reason we’ve lost 3 games.  Seems kinda moronic. I’m not saying he can’t find a groove and win big but those concern me. His second half disappearing acts are hard to stomach as well.
