I'd like to accept that no matter his success at times I don't see a HC performing duties of an OC or DC working out in today's game. There is too much going on to not have a full-time HC only on the sidelines managing games.

[LonghornSean 3989]

Assuming we don't win out (lol) and get some help to make it to Arlington, failure to appear in the Big 12 title game next season warrants Sark being fired, IMO. I guess the conference landscape will be different in 2023, so who knows how it will shake out, but not at least making that game once in three seasons just isn't good enough.

If he loses out this year, you pull the plug. 1-3 would get ugly, but I think he'd survive (temporarily) depending on how that stretch plays out.

Granted, I’m getting old and I pay less and less attention to the details (recruiting, in-game decisions, etc) every year, and am pretty resigned to the idea that Texas is just a middling, mediocre program at this point…but I think I am in favor of just keeping Sark for a while and seeing what happens. He seems to be upgrading the talent, the team seems a little better than last year, I like his offense when the qb throws passes with a modicum of accuracy, he seems willing to bring in good coaches, etc. Unless there is a slam dunk situation, just let him keep going. Maybe there’s something to be said for continuity. Maybe Sark fine tunes his approach (I don’t think he’s that far off, he’s not Charlie Strong bad).

Maybe I just want to try something different and give the guy more time and not start over again with a relative unknown. It is our instinct to fire guys quickly, but it’s not like this approach has been working, and maybe it’s worth a try to give him time. Basically it seems like the Texas boosters/decision-makers/athletic department is Costanza, and I want to see this approach:

  This forum is a microcosm of the Texas fan base and is exactly why we keep wandering in the wilderness. I will admit to apologizing for Strong because I thought he would recruit us out of this, but he turned out to NOT be the recruiter he was elsewhere. Herm I hated from day 1 and it had nothing to do with the asshole. However, college football is about recruiting. Guys who can recruit ultimately end up winning. Simple as that. Mack was a solid recruiter year over year. Once his recruiting fell of he was shit. Charlie recruited shit. Tom hit on a couple classes but his attrition was shit. If this guy can continue recruiting well then he will be ok. Despite all the oopinions we are losing because of our shortcomings. We have some talent but we also have some glaring weaknesses. Line depth/experience. Secondary depth. Pass Rush. Receiver depth. Freshman QB. All the problems we knew we had coming in are showing up on Saturdays. Not sure why people are surprised. 

There are coaches who can lose despite talent.  Sark may be one of them.  We'll see.  All I can say is he's a vastly better recruiter than Strong and not a total complete dumbshit coach like Strong was.  Will he ever get us beyond 8-4?

Jimbo is 3-4 at this point.  He's another of them.  He was about to get fired at FSU after winning a title.

Oh, I'm not ready to fire him, but he's turning out so far just like he did at his previous stops.  Same for Tom Hermann-won unexpected games, lost unexpected games.  Same for Mackovic, great offensive mind who had good games and bad games and no defense.  Same for Mack-great recruiter, really good teams, but almost always 2nd place in the conference.  7 win Sark looks like a 7 win coach.

Don't know why we expect coaches to perform better than the did elsewhere.

Lincoln Riley walked away from perfect security at OU. 
 

Other coaches would likely do the same given the right $$ and opportunity.

 

Saban is the least likely, IMHO.

This whole theory that coaches only repeat their previous results doesn't seem to hold up under scrutiny. Charlie Strong did not have identical results at Texas that he did at Louisville. Saban did not have identical results at LSU that he had at Michigan State. Coaches regularly exceed previous results or regress. 

 

Sometimes it is the circumstances that influences those results. So Sark taking over a 0-12 Washington influences his record there somewhat.

Ok, fair point…I guess that’s the “serendipity” I’m talking about. If one of those guys indicates he’d like to go to Texas, via his agent or back channels or whatever, do it. Until it’s a sure thing, don’t fire Sark because you hope that another unproven guy can become one of the 5 best coaches in the sport. 

[Tex-19 2872]

Sark will get at least one more year, probably 2, no matter what happens. We've seen some real improvement this year on defense (esp against the run) and the offense is insanely young. You have to at least give him year 2 of Ewers and the OL. 

The most concerning thing to me is the 2nd half Offensive disappearing act. 31 points in the first half and 3 in the second?? How does that happen? And that shit's been happening a lot under Sark. For all the blame we give the D, we'd have like 4 extra wins under Sark if the offense could've done anything in the 2nd half (including both OSU games). I still think Sark needs to basically just be an OC on gameday and let the defensive coaches handle their shit.

We just need to skip ahead to the part where we finally hire a good coach, as soon as possible.  Sark is who he is.  We probably will be better next year, because how couldn’t we with a freshman QB, true freshmen all over the OL, etc.   But his flaws are evident and not going away.

Reread what I said. We fired him when we did so we could grab Herm before anyone else did. It was a bad plan. We could've waited until the season was over and got someone better. Strong was the new shiny object. Then Herman was the new shiny object. Then Sark was the new shiny object. See where this is going? 

Every bit of this argument is factually incorrect.
 

 

Strong wasn’t a “shiny object”, he simply wasn’t Mack Brown. In fact, Saban was the “shiny object” we were looking at when Mack was forced out.

Charlie Strong was rightfully getting fired after losing to Kansas in year 3 with 3 consecutive 7 loss seasons. Herman or not.
 

Herman was fired because BMDs and admin thought we had a shot at Urban Meyer. Sark was never the “shiny object”. Sark was the fallback plan.

Sark may need to hire an OC/playcaller who has the same philosophy but stay involved in the game planning. Let the OC call plays and make adjustments.

He 100% needs to hire a new DC that can maximize the talent we have in this state. That DC needs to hire his own staff.

He needs to be a CEO not a full time OC. He (and Jimbo) can’t sniff Riley’s jockstrap in doing both.

Predicting the future is hard and we all know that. There are things that each one of us fundamentally knows  will happen in our own lives this week and we will be wrong about a bunch of those internal predictions. 

So I type this with that in mind: I don’t think the sentiment is there to 86 Seven Loss Steve before the end of year 4. People are tired of turnover and turmoil, and that includes every level - the admin, the money, the employees, the players, the recruits. People like the guy. You can see legitimate signs of player development. He’s recruiting well and not doing so naively.  He’s hired a mostly sound staff and folks seem like they think the infrastructure work he is doing is making a difference for the future. He will be here through 2024 barring scandal or utter collapse.

That isn’t me advocating or saying anything absolute. You guys know I am most ardently in the “show me” category with Steve Sarklostagain, but that’s my read being around some of it. 

Beyond that, and due to the positives I alluded to, I find myself in the weird spot personally of feeling like he’s got a shot to figure it out. I think if the dude takes the Patterson role for the offense, where he is really involved in the strategy and planning and then let’s someone else call the plays, it could be a breakthrough. I think he is a wizard strategically on offense but he is prone to ineptitude on the tactical side when the opponent makes adjustments. If someone like Marion were actually calling plays and Sarkisian could watch the defense make it’s adjustments to their plan, it might actually be a strength. 

That’s probably far fetched as it’s part of his identity, I know. I see his personality type being more likely to do something like that than Fisher’s type, however. Whatever the case, if the guy doesn’t figure out how to overcome his clear mediocrity in handling the offense after good defensive staffs make their adjustments with their teams around the half, it will be his undoing. More than the defense or personnel, the offense going from the team strength in the first half to a team weakness in the second half is what is destroying outcomes on the schedule both this year and last.

Yes. All of this.

Maybe, instead of trying to get some pie in the sky dream candidate fall through only to settle for some mediocre fallback plan, we could get some smart guys who actually know football well to do a real coaching search next time to find the right guy?

Seems like that's how we ended up with Mack Brown, and while he had many flaws, he did a damn sight better than most of our hires.

As for when...

I haven't given up on Sark yet. I'm on record calling out this season as 7 wins as our ceiling, and that's based on the personnel, not the coaches; we have 4 starting freshmen in positions that take the longest to learn and develop (OL and QB), and major holes in talent in our back 7 in defense.

I mean... we barely beat ISU at home and y'all were predicting we win out; we lose to Okie Lite in Stillwater, and y'all can't imagine us winning another game. Look at the personnel on the field and where they are developmentally (more or less maxed out in the defensive back 7, and a long way to go on the offense); when you understand what we have on the field well enough, it should temper your emotions.

The offensive coaching staff we have right now is as good as any staff we will ever see on that side of the ball. I really can't find any flaws there, really, especially now that we have Marion there. We won't always have the best gameplan or play calls, but man, when the players are executing at the level we expect them to, we're going to see a lot more games like OU than OSU.

I've abandoned hope on our defensive staff; that entire side of the ball needs to be reconsidered, Bo Davis possibly excepted. PK is a glorified position coach who needs a Duane Akina level DB coach or better to succeed. Maybe there's a guy working as an analyst or something on that side who could help us figure out the staffing...

Development, strategy, recruiting, personnel management - none of those are less important in coaching than calling plays.

Nothing I said resembles vaguely the bullshit associated to the Strong equivocating.

If we asked Red McCombs what he thought about Sarkisian, he’d say "I don't have any doubt that Steve is a fine coach. I think he would make a great position coach, maybe a coordinator. But I don't believe he belongs at what should be one of the three most powerful university programs in the world right now at UT-Austin. I don't think it adds up."

I'm sure this has been pointed out in one of these threads, but he's coached 20 games here. We've lost five games where we held double digit second half leads. 25% of the time he's blown 10+ point second half leads. That is actually impressive.
