  1. Freeman based on what data? Are you saying his resume is superior to Lanning and Cignetti? Is he better because he lost to Aggie? I'm confused by your intentionally obtuse post.
  2. I have no clue how or if we could get Lanning or Cignetti. But... I would like to. I've banged a 10 before. Yeah, I average about 5 for my career but.. shit has happened.
  3. The most reliable broad team metric for discipline is penalties. Of the names we've seen thrown around for Texas including the current head coach only Indiana, OSU and Oregon are in thr top 20. In 2024 Oregon and OSU were top 20. Indiana was 28, but it was his first year. If discipline is your top metric those are probably your top 3. In total offense for 2025 Oregon, Indiana, Ole Miss and Notre Dame are top 20. OSU comes in at 25. In 2024 only Oregon and Texas made the top 25 none top 20. In total defense for 2025 OSU, Oregon and Indiana are all top 5. Georgia and Alabama are in the top 20 and Texas comes in at 23. In 2024 Indiana, OSU and Texas were top 3, while Ole Miss, Oregon and ND were top 20. If discipline, defense and offense is your goal the data point to Lanning, Day and Cignetti. Freeman would appear to be a distant 4th with Lane following not to far behind. That is without consideration of SOS or SOR. However, those have near zero impact on discipline or penalties in broad terms. The metrics for Texas/Sark in penalties is... not good in 2025, 2024, 2023 with the highest ranking twice being 73 out of 133 and considerably lower at 119 this year. Also this in no way spells out who Texas COULD get as an HC. In that instance Lane appears the most open to a change.
  4. I will never defend Ole Miss' horrible OOC schedule and it is something to consider in the comparisons. That said we played UTEP and SHSU this year, cellar dwellers of C-USA and as well as SJSU. So.. glass houses and such.
  5. Let me make this easy for everyone. I don't want Sark nor Lane to be the HC at Texas next year.
  6. I don't know what this is even in reference to nor why it's in this thread the week before we play Arkansas.
  7. And both are mid. The greatest achievement between both their careers combined is a single Big XII championship.
  8. Its a team in the SEC, it's the data we have to go on. Lane isn't who I would pick. You like Lane fantastic. I prefer a proven winner at the highest level. Does that mean we will get one, history says no. There is an entire thread about the future coach. My entire premise is Lane is mid and more importantly I think Sark should be gone. That is it. That's all. Thats why I'm not posting in the next head coach thread. While I think Lane is lame and don't want him as Texas HC, would he be more consistent that Sark? Probably.
  9. It was. Turns out it was neither of them.
  10. I put out the career stats on the last page of both in stats, put up the bowl records, and put up his time at Ole Miss vs Sark at Texas. The results are remarkably similar. Neither has won an SEC title. They have a total of 3 conference championships between them. They are both close to .500 in bowls. They both have some big wins and inexcusable losses to subpar teams. They both seem to lose in the biggest games they play. They truly are mirrors of one another in career metrics. Want to read those metrics and come to the opinion that Lane has a lower floor, I will acknowledge I can see why you come to that conclusion. However, I would counter with they do appear, based on all measurable data, to have a similar ceiling.
  11. Lane's record is pretty fucking mid and if Texas is getting a new HC, I have no interest in another mid.
  12. Lol.. you do know Kiffin also coached at USC and Washington is essentially equivalent to resources, history and success as Old Miss. Career: 116-53 .686 Tennessee 2009 7-6 .538 (Kiffin Stepped in after the massive mess Fulmer left and still got them to a bowl game) LANE: USC 2010–2013 28-15 .651 (SARK: USC 12 wins and 6 losses .667 winning percentage) Florida Atlantic 2017–2019 26-13 .667 Lane at Ole Miss 2020–present 55-19 .743 Sark at Texas (2021–present): 45 wins and 20 losses (.692 winning percentage as of November 2025) Sark has 4 bowl wins: Holiday bowl vs Nebraska x 2, Clemson and ASU. Loses: Baylor, Boise State, Washington, Washington, OSU Lane has 5 bowl wins: Akron, UAB, Indiana, PSU, Syracuse Losses: VT, GT, Baylor, Texas Tech
  13. The career mirroring between Sark and Kiffin is pretty wild. Sark has the 1 BiG XII title and 1 SEC appearance above Lane but otherwise, they are remarkably similar with a nod of success going toward Sark outside this year. Those that want to keep Sark and hope for change, fine. Those that want him fired and replaced by Lane baffle my logic buttons.
  14. Nope Lane is 5-4 in bowl game wins and Sark is 4-5 with 2 of those coming last year. Lane has never even won a Holiday bowl, much less 2 of them. Both over blue blood Nebraska in 2010 and 2014 at Washington and USC respectively.
  15. Career: 91-55 .638 Washington (2009–2013): 34 wins and 29 losses (.540 winning percentage) USC (2014–2015): 12 wins and 6 losses (.667 winning percentage) Texas (2021–present): 45 wins and 20 losses (.692 winning percentage as of November 2025)
  16. Hmmm... might have wanted to look up. He won the Peach Bowl at Ole Miss against... wait for it. Penn State So how dare you besmirch the good name of LSU's future HC. He's had 4 seasons of 10+ wins in the SEC. Don't bother looking at his OOC opponents. No need for that. Lane is 15-14 in the grind that is the SEC. He's not mid, at all.
  17. His overall record in bowl games is 8-7 with wins in the 2016 Rose Bowl, the 2019 Cotton Bowl, the 2022 Fiesta Bowl, and the 2024 Orange Bowl.
  18. I dont see a single one of those soft cocks holding and watching an IPad. Hell, they all have their man-purses on the ground and fatso in the front isn't even in a crouch. Gtfo with your weak shit!
  19. Lane wouldn't be my choice and frankly there is a replacement thread but I was curious about the comparisons statically Sark: Career: 91-55 .638 Washington (2009–2013): 34 wins and 29 losses (.540 winning percentage) USC (2014–2015): 12 wins and 6 losses (.667 winning percentage) Texas (2021–present): 45 wins and 20 losses (.692 winning percentage as of November 2025) Kiffin: Career: 116-53 .686 Tennessee 2009 7-6 .538 USC 2010–2013 28-15 .651 Florida Atlantic 2017–2019 26-13 .667 Ole Miss 2020–present 55-19 .743 Statistically, given the same size for Sark I'd call USC a push. While in the SEC Kiffin is slightly out performing Sark even including Kiffins short, poor stint at Tennessee. Pretty close to even IMO, which is to say pretty Mid for both.
  20. Not too sure about that strategy there chief.
  21. Sark's squat game is strong!
  22. I've based my entire issue on the teams performance with data and facts. You're free to criticize me and that as you see fit.
  23. That's something I should address. Im closing in on 12 years sober. Let me make one thing clear. I truly hope that that the drinking issues are not true. For Steve Sarkisian, for Loreal, for his children and all his family. If they are, I want it known I would be the first in line to sponsor him, suggest a sponsor in Austin or support whatever treatment path he chooses. That is all I have to say about that aspect of all this.
  24. Auburn you dolt, War Damn Eagle!
  25. Well, I put it all in my long ass post but mostly I have very real concerns that the smoke (fake or real) is being fanned by people who want him gone. I suspect these people are big NIL donors frustrated with his off season blunders last year, his attitude and lack of production this year. Admittedly, this is all wild speculation but when you look at the time lines, things track to that logic. So, based on what I do know (data from the past 2 season as well as spring and summer behaviors that are all absolutely verified facts, compounded with horrible performance this year) with the aligned smoke, now recruiting issues starting to (possible NIL doner angst), I'm leaning above 70-80% chance he's gone. Here's the bad part for me, while fear of change doesn't prevent me from wanting a change I don't have a ton of faith in Texas finally hiring a coach that isn't a mid or project, for the 6th time in a row. I'm hoping with CDC and NIL folks figure it out, but.. All that said, my real concern with Sark returning is NIL drying up, Sark not changing at all, and things getting substantially worst next season with a much tougher schedule. But I'll close with, I'd love to be wrong, have Sark come back, do a wholesale change from GM to OC, drop off OC duties, become an engaged HC and win an NC. I would happily eat the shit ton of crow served here and put in a good chunk of money on a mock BurntEyes pre-National Championship game HH in Las Vegas next year before the game. I just firmly believe its far less likely than Texas finding a far better replacement.
