I guess we've now entered the phase in the Longhorn coaching cycle of life where we clearly have the "Fire Coach" camp vs the apologists camp, the name change on this thread title notwithstanding. There will be much gnashing of teeth, and shit flinging, and sound and fury signifying nothing over the next year or two or three until Sark is finally let go. There is no question to anyone with half a brain cell that's watched football for more than a season or two that Sark is not the guy and should never have been hired. It's not a question of should he be shitcanned, but instead when. We've all seen this movie and we all know exactly how it ends. Worse yet, we know the entire second and third acts. There will be coordinator changes. Supposed new beginnings. A new offense or new defense or some magical player that's gonna turn it all around. Or some recruit that we will lose or gain if he's let go. But we know none of that ever matters. Offseason hope will always give way to the realization that it's the same old shit, usually by game two or three. Unless you get the hire at the top right, starting right from the outset, everything else is bullshit. We know it to be true, we just don't wanna see it. That's the essence of being a fan I guess.
We'll have a new coaching search in another few years, regardless of what's said or argued about on this message board, because it's always about what happens on the field rather than the internet. To paraphrase a famous poster, until then, we wait.
We'll probably fuck up that hire too, because that's what we do, but you never know. Maybe we will get lucky. So there is hope.
