I know I shouldn't waste any time thinking about it but holy shit stuff like this massive interest from every target makes me hate some of our former coaches even more. Most of us in this forum knew that if we could just stop stepping on our own dicks for maybe a little while and win anything meaningful that the floodgates would open. Obviously rivals tried to argue Texas was done (even some idiots on the football board tried to say we were just living in the past and weren't actually that desirable of a place to coach and play), but this is already happening after winning one conference title and losing one playoff game. That's all we've done.
Sarkisian is not an elite head coach yet to me. He's young enough that he can get there and he's trending well but he isn't there yet. But dammit after living through the last decade-and-a-half just simply not fucking up what has been handed on a plate seems like a damn miracle well worth what we're paying him now. Came in as NIL and transfer rules opened up to our benefit. But you're a fool if you think the clowns previously in his position wouldn't have screwed it up anyway.
