COUNTERPOINT:

He has a young baby at home. Possibly is considering staying at Texas so that he can spend more time out on the road.

As a parent to a very loquacious five-month old, this hits close to home

You have no idea how much worse it gets.

My youngest screamed his fucking head off all night for months. We finally discovered that he didn't want the tittie, he didn't want the bottle, he didn't want a clean diaper, he didn't want to be held... what he wanted was a drink of water. Problem solved.

Somebody thought enough of you to marry you and have your baby? Is she a goth/emo type that thinks the world is always about to end? Congrats on both, regardless. 

I'm actually amused at the notion of some chippy, happy-go-lucky woman discovering sarvanash in their company's accounting or engineering department and thinking that she can fix him. Or maybe in real life, sarvanash is like the funnest, chirpiest guy at the office. It's only on Surly in which he shows his deep, dark, "it's the end of the world as we know it" self. 

Hey now, accounting doesn't claim that guy! He's a know-it-all engineer all the way...

She could just be British.

Texas' trajectory and momentum is pretty remarkable lately. NIL has been huge (thanks again to all those here involved with that effort), coaching stability has been strong, and the portal and draft have been friendly to us. We have had lots of guys that could easily leave wind up staying (J Whitt, Taaffe, Arch), and the same is true of coaches. Hell of a ride lately. 

Leadership (Eltife, Hartzell, CDC) had the balls/stupidity to go all in on a talented dude with a checkered past (albeit one who had rehabbed under Saban, learned the SEC way to do shit, and had a stable of good assistants willing to come with) and hit a bullseye. Throw in (n a big way) the NIL you spoke of, patience with PK, Cristobal leaving Oregon, culture buy-ins from holdovers, good portal evals and you have a complete reversal from the stale (Mack), bad (Charlie) and meh (Mensa) that had been holding us back. And we’re just getting started.

My first born (son) slept through the night from the day he was born. My 2nd born (daughter) didn't sleep through the night until she was 5.

I feel lucky with our first outside of the phases we've had pretty good nights of sleep. He's about to be 7 months and we throw him in the crib at 630-7pm, he falls asleep within 5 minutes or so, and wakes up anywhere between 5-6am.

Sources: Steve Sarkisian hiring Ohio State's LaAllan Clark to work with Longhorns' defensive ends

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian is hiring Ohio State graduate assistant defensive line coach LaAllan Clark to work with the Longhorns' defensive ends, sources told Horns247.

Sources told Horns247 Sarkisian interviewed Clark in late January about joining the Longhorns' football staff and then offered the job this week, and Clark accepted.

Clark was the defensive ends coach at Southern in 2022 before joining Ohio State as a graduate assistant in 2023.

Clark, who played defensive end at Grambling State and Northwestern State, began his coaching career at Prairie View A&M in 2019. He is originally from Baton Rouge, La., and has an excellent reputation as a recruiter, especially in Louisiana.

As the CEO of LC Performance, Clark has trained current and former NFL defensive linemen, including Ed Oliver of the Buffalo Bills, Jeffrey Simmons of the Tennessee Titans and Danielle Hunter of the Houston Texans.

Clark takes over a loaded group of defensive ends for the Longhorns in 2025.

One of the clear strengths of the roster, the defensive end room is stacked with proven playmaking heading into spring ball with the return of rising seniors Ethan Burke (6-6, 260) and Trey Moore (6-3, 245) as well as rising sophomores Colin Simmons (6-3, 245) and Colton Vasek (6-5, 260).

Developing nicely behind those front-line starters is redshirt freshman Zina Umeozulu (6-5, 260), whose length is crazy.

The future of the edge position got brighter with the arrivals of early enrollee freshmen Lance Jackson (6-5, 276), the nation's No. 38-ranked recruit in 2025, and Smith Orogbo (6-4, 208), the nation's No. 153-ranked recruit in 2025.

Texas posted a job opening for an assistant coach more than a week ago, and it's now clear Sarkisian wanted to add an assistant to help develop the team's defensive ends - a role defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski has handled each of the last four seasons. Clark's prowess as a recruiter, especially in the state of Louisiana, also made him very attractive, sources said.

Recent NCAA rule changes allow for on-field coaching from members of a football staff previously restricted to only designated on-field coaches.  This allows for more flexibility in staff utilization and specialized coaching roles across teams.
