Texas in 2020 coming off of Tom Herman and Charlie Strong is so much different than what Texas is now with Steve Sarkisian, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Jeff Traylor was somewhere on somebody’s list at the time, though I’ve seen nothing to indicate that was more than fan fiction.
Also, the NIL/transfer portal landscape of college football today is a different beast, and a coach at a place like UTSA does not have the fluency of that environment like a head coach or coordinator at a strong P5 program.
If Sark does leave for the NFL, it’s because Texas is performing miles above the mess it had been in when we were on our last head coaching search. I seriously doubt Texas will hire a coach from a program like UTSA to replace Sark.
It’s nice what Traylor has done there, and if he’s going to keep his Texas dream alive, that’s really great, much like Katie Ledecky is holding out for closetojumping. But I think Texas is way past Jeff Traylor. My mind could be changed if he gets UTSA into the playoffs on more than one occasion. But until that might happen, Taylor and his fanboys should more realistically set their expectations.
My grip is fine, good sir. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
