You must be a hoot at parties.
It's not my money (mostly), and it's still college football, a thing that is fun. We keep underperforming then we get rid of Sark obviously, but seeing things so black and white just seems like a miserable way to spend your free time.
Who does, "We underperformed for the season, missed reasonable goals, but we beat our rivals so the season is fun and good." sound like to you? Back to back play off championship participation trophies.
Put it on the wall!!

I mean remove the death and suicide threats, Moore seems pretty much like average Surly poster. Rich, fucks 10 and 5s, watches a lot of "film" and like "podcasters".
Seem like an otherwise solid dude. Maybe me him, Lane and Coach O can hit Padre for Spring Break.

I'll take one last shot at this, and then I'm going to move on:
I'm not talking about what I want to happen or what I don't want to happen. My subjective feelings have nothing to do with what is reasonable and what is unreasonable.
His buyout will be $55 million in 2026. The No. 1 recruiting class in 2025 will still have one year left before any of those guys are draft eligible. Sarks track record at Texas, while perhaps not what we want, is not bad enough to warrant firing the guy. Nobody gives a shit about our rushing stats or misses in the OL room. That shit is the trees, and you need to look at the forest.
Sark is the most successful coach at Texas since pre-2010 Mack. Going 9-3 in 2026 cannot reasonably justify paying Sark's enormous buyout, risking the loss of one of the most talented rosters we've ever had, and throwing us into the backroom casino that is a coaching search.
Take this to heart or don't, it doesn't make a difference to me because I'm not arguing with you. I'm just trying to tell you how it is.
This isn't the same game. NIL changes the game. The people who contribute heavily care and while you might justify not firing him for not making the CFP, the people who put millions in aren't as understanding as you are with that result.
Many of the recruiting and CFP data points you're hanging on to could also be said of the new Virginia Tech head coach.
CFP isn't that high a bar and if a coach is not capable of getting there consistently he needs to be coaching at a school that is okay with those expectations.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't that like saying Tebow won a championship? He was on the team, but Chris Leak won it.
Hurts was the Bama QB in 2017 and 2018. It was 18 when he got benched vs Georgia.

You're in your feelings and I get it. I sympathize. I'm on this board every day and I know every argument you've made or could make.
But the idea that we would fire Sark next season simply for missing the CFP is not reasonable. He would have to crash and burn into a losing season, or have some massive scandal fall, for it to be reasonable to even consider firing him 2026.
You have your head in the sand. No amount of data is going to stop you from supporting Sark until the floor falls out. I know your type. I got to know you year 2 of Strong and Herman. You're hero worshipping a failure. I get it, and soon enough you will too. These following is data, not feelings. Not sure if you understand the difference:
Total Offense: #75
Scoring Offense: #52
Passing Offense: #44
Rushing Offense: #101
TOP: #106
Sacks Allowed: #71
Tackles for Loss Allowed: #106
Penalties: #126
Lost to Florida, struggled against MSU and Kentucky.

Tua won a title, but not Hurts.
I guess JJ and Stetson are technically NFL QBs as well.
Hurts actually won one at Bama... just not at OU.

You're not being reasonable.
First and most importantly - there are head coaches who have gone through several "NFL QBs" and not anything close to what Sark has won. You really think we're gonna fire the guy who recruited Ewers in the portal and snagged Manning? Just because he didn't win the NC?
Second, have we really come around to Ewers as an "NFL QB," like he went in the first round? I love the dude, but let's be real about what he was. That we were in contention for a national title with him under center is point in Sark's favor.
Third, You really want to fire a guy who made the playoffs twice, made the SEC CCG, won the Big 12, and has consistently recruited classes in the top-5? Dude literally just recruited the No. 1 class last year. He's 47-20 at Texas, with only 8 of those losses coming since 2022.
I applaud your high standards and on an emotional level agree with your sentiment, but there is no way in hell that we are firing Sark next season for missing the CFP.
My "high" standards?
Being a top 10 team and making the CFP with the #5 paid coach and top 5 NIL teams in the nation. Know what other teams fit that bill:
Oregon, OSU, Georgia and Bama.
Instead of a top 10 and CFP team here are the team offensive results:
Total Offense: #75
Scoring Offense: #52
Passing Offense: #44
Rushing Offense: #101
TOP: #106
Sacks Allowed: #71
Tackles for Loss Allowed: #106
Penalties: #126
Lost to Florida, struggled against MSU and Kentucky.
Ewers is being paid as a QB in the NFL, don't know how you're even trying to dispute whether or not he's an NFL QB. Speaking of, was it Ewers that made the shitty calls that have now lost to Washington, Georgia x 3, and OSU x 2?
If you think winning recruiting "national championships" keeps a coach his job:
Put it on the wall!!!!

Can we put some of our fan base on the hot seat?
You mean the people who ultimately pay for Sarks incompetence, seems like a bad plan.

Yep. Arch will be gone. If Sark wastes another season I'd bet money we move on.
Yep Arch would be the 2nd NFL QB Sark had squandered. No one is reasonably letting a head coach go through 2 NFL QBs without a NC at Texas. Mack had 2 and at least got one before he "hung up his cleats" for a slackers pay check.

We have fans who think this season means Steve Sarkisian's seat is warm.
It's pretty funny.
Steve doesn't make the playoffs next year he won't be back in 27.
Put whatever level of heat you like on that reality.

I wonder if his parents want him to get a UT degree first if the staff will keep him around.
Yeah, I think it unlikely, but possible that perhaps some reason set in that focusing on a degree given facts about one's career future. That or the self confidence (misplaced or not) that he can battle back are logical possibilities.

You know this thread got me thinking. I may have the perfect idea. But I guess I would have to grind the cheese-its into dust and sprinkle from on high as a finishing touch. Wonder if by come miracle I could actually make this burnt orange? It's both cool and sharable! Come to think of it, since I like to eat the opponents mascot where possible, pigs in a blanket would work for next Arkansas game. I give you (not yet cheese tinted) Longhorn Pigs in a Blanket!
Please don't let me discourage your Cheez-It aspirations and dreams.... BUT there is a simpler answer.

I watched him a good deal and think when given space/time he was top notch. I think similar to Texas' QB more of his issues were team and youth related than ability limitations.

It's extremely off putting particularly the logical tone.

I mean fair. But I came to terms with the fact that we almost certainly weren't going to make the playoffs during the 4th quarter of the Georgia game. So I knew we were going to some Bowl Game.
I am going to make the best of it. I am well aware this is a glorified scrimmage. I am at least glad it is something goofy like the Cheezit Bowl. That just good fun.
I still really hope we win. Because I can't help it. I am just a fan who wants to see Texas win.
Why not both tacos. Being excited about the bowl doesn't exempt me from wanting changes so we aren't in the same boat next year.

I’m well aware of Texas fans’ expectations. And many of us had our hopes up we’d sneak in and make the playoffs but we didn’t
There should be some nuance here - everything kept going wrong for us - Arch needed 4-5 weeks to get comfortable, our OL/run game wasn’t good, we had injuries at bad times. We still finish 9-3, beat all our rivals and are going to the highest tier non-CFP bowl
BUT - We can still have fun and enjoy the bowl ride. And then hop into the expectations coaster again in August.
I'm excited about playing Michigan and many others are too. I'll be even more excited when changes to address the issues of last year regarding coaching staff are addressed.
BUT - 2 of our 3 rivals are in the CFP and I reserve the right to be twitchy about that reality.

Football used to be fun and now it’s playoffs or this year was a miserable failure, fire everyone, any player who didn’t play perfect should fuck off and die.
Texas fans expectations have always been make conference championship game and hopefully win. They have also expected Texas somewhere in or very close to top 10.
Failing that has always created consternation among Texas fans and they aren't alone. Michigan, Bama, OSU, ND, OU etc etc etc all expected that prior to the CFP. When they didn't yes, there was lots of frustration and anger.
Meeting those expectations would get a Texas or any of the other teams in the CFP, just ask Bama. However, now, rather than 1 or 2 bowl games that determine "the best team" with 90% subjective criteria of mediots the teams actually get to play it out.
People love to bemoan the CFP, the committee and yearn for yesteryear. Well, the world hasn't changed THAT much, just the voters have much less on final say on the national champion than the actual teams.
That's a good thing.

Ok. First question ya need to ask when looking to fill coaching vacancies: does he have a monkey? Ya gotta have a monkey in this league.
You clearly know jack shit about Texas' search criteria for position coaches. Let me help.
1) Do they have a stripper girlfriend
2) If yes, does that girlfriend own a monkey
3) If yes, is that monkey violent and prone to biting
-if yes then - Hire and never fire that fine coaching staff asset.
If no to all-
1) Have they coached at Texas before?
2) If yes, are in AARP?
3) If yes, do they have ties to FUPM?
4) If yes, has the game passed them by and are they inferior to the person they are replacing?
If yes to all - hire them immediately
If no to all-
1) Do they have zero history in that position historically?
2) If yes, are they yes men that have no skills and clearly are willing to flounder around indefinitely?
- If yes to all hire them immediately and keep them no matter what.

I'm personally more annoyed by Bama than ND but way to avoid a direct question
But you're solid with JMU, Tulane, Ole Miss and Miami?
I keed but there are so many different reasons to mock this CFP result picking the dumbest thing about the committee and its "process" is impossible. Just so much stupid.
