    Oregon is an incredible job. Yet writers said, 'pay Dan Lanning whatever it takes' to make him take the Michigan job. Nobody wrote that about Sark.

    So is Alabama, which is arguably a better job than Texas.
    Yet Kalen Deboer had to make a public statement to get people to back off. Sark didn't have to make a statement because, well, there was no attempt to get him.

    My point is that Sark never gets in any lists for hottest coach. None.

    I think Sark is, at best, a mid-level coach who will produce mid-level results. Yet some of you seem perfectly fine with that.

    Oregon is not a blue blood and yes I could see Michigan and penn st going for him.

    DeBeor was being rumored to be on the hot seat this season earlier on. Yeah they’re going to kick the tires.

    Sark is in no danger of being fired. An no coach would leave Texas if it’s going good.

    So no one would waste time even contacting him. That’s simple.

    I guess it does need to be spelled out for you.

    Oregon is indeed a great job, but is not considered a blue blood/prestigious program by the media. They are idiots. They don't understand the resources and advantages he has in Eugene. Anyone seriously mentioning Lanning to Michigan seriously doesn't understand CFB anymore.

    There have been rumors and angst about DeBoer since literally Week 1 this year. Bama fans wanted him gone after FSU loss, way more so than the bitching from a dozen people on Surly about Sark. Personality wise, he is not an ideal fit at Alabama. If they would have lost to OU in 1st round of playoffs, it's possible Bama would have helped him pack for Ann Arbor.

    It seems you have a rudimentary understanding of the college football landscape, maybe a good idea to just let this go.

    All of this. The nuance is lost on him.

    You can continue to support Sark all you want, and I will continue to share the myriad of reasons why he's not good enough.

    I'm actually not a hater. No one on this site has spent more time with the players, than I have and over the last four years, I have learned that they are amazing people. They deserve the best. So do the fans who are asked to contribute so much.

    This is where you’re fucking up. We aren’t sharing Sark is great and should be the coach.

    We’re saying your argument is flawed because you think he should be asked about other jobs when he’s never leaving Texas for that reason. Unless it’s the NFL.

    People need to realize we are watching the guy who might go down as the best QB in Texas history. “Wait, what did you just say dbeasy? That’s preposterous!”Let me clarify.

    Vince and Colt were obviously incredible, with Vince being the best ever AT TEXAS. But from the perspective of being a complete QB that ultimately plays at a high level in the NFL for an extended time period, Arch has a chance to be in the discussion with Bobby Layne, who is the best NFL QB in Texas history. Obviously Arch has a long way to go, but he has everything you want in an nfl qb: arm, size, attitude, speed, brain, etc. Let’s enjoy next season. He may not have the talent around him that Vince did, but maybe they can be good enough with some key portal additions to give it a go next year towards a title.

    If he can fix his mechanics on those short simple throws(slants/crossers/wide open guys sighing in a zone) he’ll win the heisman next year and go down as the best one for sure imo.

    Hes so fucking good at so many things already. The things most QBs struggle with. Pocket awareness Keeping the play alive. Not taking off at the first sign of trouble. Playmaking.

    It’s the simple things that still nap at him…but if he works on that the sky’s the limit.

    If it's a joke, it sure isn't much of one.

    The list of the hottest coaches today and coaches actually approached for jobs like Michigan and Penn State somehow didn't include genius and master strategist/motivator Steve Sarkesian.

    Louisville’s Jeff Brohm
    Oregon's Dan Lanning
    Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham (locked up with new contract)
    Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz
    Washington’s Jedd Fisch
    Alabama's Kalen Deboer
    Indiana's Curt Cignetti (locked up with new contract)
    Hell, even His Royal Whaleness, the Duke of Elko, appeared on wish lists for Michigan.

    Apparently, not everyone in college football shares the opinion that Sarkesian is an ace-in-the-hole, cracker jack coach.

    W-Why would he step DOWN from Texas to go to another program?

    This isn’t Oregon. Or even Aggy. Where Penn St may be equal or Michigan a better job.

    Texas is one of the top 3-5 jobs in college. And a lot say the top spot.

    Like how is this a serious post? Of course no one came to him. He’d never leave for another college job. Wow what a dumb take.

    All true, but you will get neg rep for upsetting the people who hate logic and truth.

    No most have said to keep the return trip from OSU and Michigan. Just after that they shouldn't, ESPECIALLY ND and their bitch asses not joining a conference.

    IF the format doesn't expect, we are absolutely hamstringing ourselves by intentionally scheduling national powers when our own conference schedule is going to be a murder.

    Look at our schedule next year...going to be multiple top 10-15 teams. Plus OSU. In the future it won't get easier. No reason to schedule that hard OOC if it's going to be held against us with a loss.

    We more than doubled the rushing yards of Ohio State in week 1 (and Arch threw for more yards than Sayin). Nothing matters if your Head Coach/OC goes full retard in the red zone.

    Nope.

    We had to play Florida. We chose to play Ohio State.....while the teams that actually made the playoffs scheduled cupcakes. We fucked ourselves last year and will likely fuck ourselves again in the very near future.

    Pretty much.

    On 12/29/2025 at 7:30 AM, BurntOrange&White said:

    The we chose Ohio state is such a terrible talking point. It’s flat out we don’t lose to Florida and we’re in. Florida is a garbage team we had no business losing to point blank. Voters didn’t leave us out because of Ohio State loss, they left us out because of a horrible loss to a bad team which led to be a 3rd loss.

    No, it's flat out "3 losses". That's it. The bottom line. They lose to Vandy or OU instead of Florida guess what? They're STILL left out the playoffs. No they shouldn't have lost to fucking Florida...but no, that's not the sole reason. Such a stupid regurgitated take.

    It is flat out that if Texas is 10-2, Texas is in the playoffs. That means beating OSU, Florida, or Georgia would have put Texas in. Trying to say it was because of a singular loss to any of those teams is just wrong

    This

    If we beat Florida, we're in. It's as simple as that.

    Or OSU or Georgia. Simple as that.

    The loss to Florida didn't keep us out...having 3 losses did.

    Or Ohio State or Georgia.

    The Ohio State and Florida games were the most winnable in the deep 4th.

    Agreed.

    Florida that day would of beat a handful of top 10 to 25 teams. They just shit the bed after the Texas win. Still should of won that game.

    Yeah a great game from their QB and their STAR WR coming back that game really snowballed. Yes they sucked before and after...but they were feisty that day.

    @David Dennison gonna be a stupid pedantic cunt about something when it happens too instead of just taking the very fucking obvious L from the beginning that cignetti is a better coach.

    I don't know we can clearly say that though. I think it's probably true. And he absolutely had a better season this year with wins over Oregon and Ohio state.

    I will say he's smarter with use of the portal and by convincing his school to jettison anyone with a pulse off their OOC schedule(the most important thing really) and they lucked out by have easily manageable Big 10 scheduled and Penn St falling apart completely.

    Only having one really tough opponent in Oregon during the regular season absolutely had a LOT to do with how well they're season went...beating OSU in the Big 10 title game solidified it.

    6 minutes ago, Josef Pwag said:

    Go look at Indiana's OOC schedule. They still managed to beat 3 teams ranked in the Top-10 and to become the #1 seed in the playoffs.

    To be fair, that's claiming Penn St as a Top 10 win, and the OSU game was a CCG to get that 3rd. Their schedule was absolutely dog shit outside of Oregon before the Title game, and that was helped by a trash OOC schedule that they smartly set up to be practice before a weak big 10 schedule.

    Indiana absolutely did what they needed to and beat everything they were supposed to, unlike Texas.

    The TexAgs Thread

    I think this is kind of interesting. Two viewpoints are laid out. I'm not being ironic or absurd for once.

    image.png

    What do we think about the Aggies advancing their program? Seriously.

    I tend to agree with Sunray Ag. But maybe I'm underrating their record and playoff appearance. I think beating ND and LSU merely showed that they can win an away game. I'll ignore the controversial hold against ND. I don't think that moves the needle at all to anyone who isn't an Aggie. LSU sucked, but it was a big victory margin.

    The playoff is expanded, but they would have made them anyway. I don't think there is any anticipation of them being a constant presence in the playoffs from here on out.

    On the other hand, I'm not exactly neutral or any kind of a football genius. I don't think the A&M program can be considered advanced until they actually consistently achieve something that turns heads. Had they crushed us or Miami, I think they could say they're program has advanced as that would be a real improvement over last year instead of just sort of an improvement.

    Any opinions? Let's try to take a sober look at the Texas A&M University Fightin' Texas Aggies.

    This will probably die quickly as do any thread I ever start. Humiliating, to tell you the truth.

    I respectfully invite @aggie08 @956 Worldwide & any other regular Aggie posters here to share their opinions. They're smart guys.

    As a Texas fan, I absolutely agree with the poster saying being 0-5 in big games that lead to a CCG appearance or playoffs is a bad sign.

    If I were an Aggie fan, I'd absolutely be happy with a 11-2 playoff season(even if I know it was built on the weakest conference schedule possible and a bit of luck)

    I'd also know that they're losing a ton, and they realistically, need to upgrade there once and future "Heisman" Candidate if they want to get better.

    The schedule next year is MUCH tougher and they're more likely to drop back to 8-4 than win 10 games again.

    25 minutes ago, Bevo&Pevo said:

    If Aggy plays our schedule this year, what's their record?

    8-4, without being snarky.

    OSU, Georgia, Vandy, and us. And don't forget OU on a neutral field...they probably win if Mateer is hurt, but that defense at OU was legit.

    Whoa there, hoss.

    You mean hearsay about other quiet agreements led you to assume you had a similar agreement even though it was never discussed? You think a gentleman's agreement is wholly unspoken and transferrable?

    You got over your skis using that term. A gentleman's agreement is generally done with a handshake after discussing terms. It's not an assumption that you have an agreement because other people do. Bowtie was more than a little dishonest.

    image.png

    Nope, you made foolish assumptions and/or stated them to Aggies to pump yourselves up. You're not the arbiters of SEC culture. You're wannabes who assumed a seat near the head of the table and got tossed out of it.

    image.png

    And they'll laugh him out of their offices after asking WTF is wrong with you? We don't lie to ourselves about agreements nobody ever made. None of this stuff is in writing because nobody wanted to permanently commit to it. Now go get you shine box!

    NONE of those teams were Texas. Simple as that.

    My actual thoughts after sitting on it: 

      Reveal hidden contents

    The first 2/3rds was legit good, but the last hour was just another "Eywa takes a side, and it's Jake's side!" with the native creatives coming to the rescue again, just like 1 and 2.  

    Really thought "fire and ash" would mean we would have more scenes in a new biome of Pandora.  Instead, the fire clan just decided to ditch their whole gimmick the second they got guns.  Was disappointed it was mostly just Water 2.0.  Avatar 1 was mostly forest, Avatar 2 was water, and I thought for sure we'd have some badass fire/rock type creatures and stuff for Avatar 3

    Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro

     

    What you described did not happen in 2 actually. But 1 and 3.

    First 2 hours: great, awesome. Bad ass new baddie

    Last hour: was that just a remake of the end of Way of Water?

     

    The new Baddie was a highlight...and I like the Colonel so much more in this one. Actually had some pretty LOL quips.

    The most natural casting possibly ever.  

    We will absolutely forget he was aquaman for this.  Some guys are just born to play a role(Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool is the other best example of this) and Jason Momoa is so perfect for Lobo.
