In fairness, pretty much the whole fanbase never liked the hire. Scott Woodward should probably also be looking for a job.

This always cracks me up. Sure, we are almost 4-4, but our 2 losses were by one possession each, on the road. We could also be 8-0. Works both ways. But we are 6-2 and everyone is acting like we are 2-6.

If she reported like you suggest, we'd probably next see "Gomez Licon" in the ICE thread.

T-Bob is so goddamned garded. He just said LSU is going to approach Saban.

Texas gets the 2nd to last visit for 2026 #10 Addison Bjorn (Missouri) - she will be in town this weekend (I think along with #8 Bri Crittendon from Colorado) Bjorn's finalists are: ND, Duke, Iowa, Texas, UConn, UNC, Kansas (goes there the weekend after her visit to Texas)

Ya the layout is way too complicated but purposefully, I have listened 7 times now and I still couldnt explain it lol! The rest of the floors are much more straight forward

Turns out underestimating the stupidity in Louisiana is a bad bet. Who knew?

Found this info: Under his original deal, Sarkisian would have earned $5.8 million in 2024. Sarkisian signed a contract extension following the 2023 college football season that aims to keep him in Austin through the 2030 campaign. For the 2024 season, Sarkisian earned $10.3 million under the terms of that extended deal, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the sport. Early 2025: Sarkisian is now under contract through the 2031 season, with his total guaranteed compensation approaching $81 million. For 2025, his guaranteed compensation goes from $10.4 million to $10.8 million.

The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
Horn of Gabriel replied to TexasMan's topic in Football
100%. Perspective is valuable here too. We're currently 6-2, coming off of b2b CFP semis. We've put a record number of players into the NFL, and the O-line was heavily impacted by that. People who judge a coach on that one season's results are dumb, you need to consider a rolling couple of years average. Sark looks good on that metric. Not perfect. But if your standard is that Texas should compete for the national title every year, you're unreasonable because no one does that. "Yeah we're 6-2 but a hair's width from being 4-4!" ...except we aren't. "Yeah but in the NIL/portal era there is no excuse for being young/inexperienced" ...ok? Coaching staff woulda coulda gotten better players via the portal this offseason, but there is no magical supply of the players we need either, and while we do have money to get players, the "money whip" thing is not real, because top-end players have a decision process that involves more than money. Ahmed Hardy would not have come to Texas to sit behind Baxter and Wisner. "Yeah but Sark's OTA/NFL focused offseason was too soft and created a bad culture!" ...the same culture that just pulled together for b2b OT wins. "Yeah but Sark is flirting with the NFL that that hurts my feels!" ...you'd prefer a coach that doesn't aspire to move up? And yes, coaching a NFL team is a move up in prestige in the coaching world. ANY call to fire Sark, or force an OC on him which is the same as firing him, needs to be weighed against the alternative. Remember: you're just as likely, maybe even more likely, to end up with Charlie Strong 2.0 or Tom Herman 2.0 than the next Saban. It's easy to bitch but you're rolling the dice every time you hire, ask OU. -
I'm sure this has been asked before, probably by me, but it's beyond time to have our pool resurfaced. Any recommendations in the Houston area. I have no idea what to expect on cost as they seem to be all over the board. I want it done right though.
-
Not sure who called plays officially but Sark takes credit. Sark was also Assistant HC that year and a photo from the season with a call sheet.
-
I have no doubt that Sark was/is looking to leave. I think he thought he could coast this year (based on how well his team looked the last 2 years), looked at his roster and especially with how Arch played last year, have another great year, and then leave a hero. He mailed it in during the off season because arrogance got the best of him. He's to hoping the huge ass piece of humble pie gets his ego knocked down a few pegs, and he gets his shit together for himself and the program.

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Vegas64 replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
My company tracks as a KPI our use of various (there are actually quite a few) AI applications we use. Engaging with them is compliance. It's definitely becoming a "measure what matters" metric for executives and the end result is allegedly to help employees be more productive and save time and energy on low skill, high manual tasks, but let's see. -
This is quite the thread. Some of y'all need therapy. Some of y'all just need a drink. Regardless of the factual accuracy of any of the following, I'm sticking with these priors when I think about Sark and his future at the program: 1) The story was not accurately reported. There may have been some truth to it, but fishing for a raise, gauging interest, backroom fuckery all seem just as likely. By all appearances, Sark likes to recruit and likes coaching in college. Would he move to the NFL? I'm sure he would, I think he probably views NFL headcoach as the pinnacle of the career mountain for a guy like him. But I think he learned enough from a guy like Saban that you need to wait for the right job. Neither Miami or Tennessee are the right job. Y'all need to calm your tits and quit reacting to every rumor and report. 2) Sark has his drinking under control. I don't think the man is sober and, as far as I know, he's never claimed to be. People can be modest drinkers. People can be heavy drinkers who keep that shit from affecting their job. I personally don't really give a shit what Sark does in his free time as long as his coaching doesn't suffer. As far whatever happened this off season, seems more likely to be family oriented than substances abuse. 3) Loreal Sarkisian is a non-entity at the Texas program. I think speculating about their bedroom is tacky and somewhat ridiculous, but whatever, y'all seem to enjoy it so have fun. But y'all are vastly overestimating her significance or impact on this team. I agree that the less you hear / see the HC's wife, the better, but I have not seen her insist on being part of the team's public image. I don't know much about her as a person and I haven't been forced to at any point in the past 5 years. I call that a win and have no interest in changing things. I much more worried about the OL and Manning's concussion status. Worrying about Sark and the NFL is something I will save for January.

On the bright side, gave us some pretty good music. I mean....there's always a silver lining, right? Sure, it's a mountain of shit, but find that one shiny thing so we can call it a win. That's the American way.

Forecast for the weekend is looking perfect.

This team is going to be pretty pumped to play at DKR, since they haven't done so since September.

Yeah, I have 1st cousin who has since retired but was head of IT for GM. He and I discussed the topic at a thanksgiving dinner before Covid. For him, it was going to be a huge win because it moves IT from an expense to a profit center.

Texas is the current betting favorite. I want to believe. 1. Home game 2. We're probably ~equivalent to LSU. Vandy barely beat them on home turf. 3. Best defense they'll face 4. We are not anointing any more Taysom Hills. 5. Their having to prepare for the unknown of Manning vs Caldwell

Forgive my humbly submitted addition. I opened up AP to see about the SNAP story. I bet Adriana got straight As in Journalism School! The story here is Trump Administration Denies Food Support to Score Political Points. In an official notice, the USDA blamed Democrats for the Republican Trump administration's decision to withhold food distribution to 1 in 8 Americans. The administration refuses to tap contingency funds set aside to avoid such stoppages. But no. We get the template. Quote service. Don't report what you see. Report what you can quote. Shameful.
