Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
I hope he has a full recovery. Also, when did he become an aggy yell leader?

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Worrying about DT going into the season and then having a couple guys turn into monsters is now a tradition. Ojomo was undersized and Coburn had some... conditioning concerns. Then they went off. Murphy was expected to be a stud, but Sweat tried to eat himself to death. They were the two best DTs in football. Collins was a good third guy who hadn't played up to his potential and Broughton was a decent rotation guy. Then they made a jump. I don't know who, but 2-4 guys will start playing out of their minds.

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
Don't be dumb. The $40 million is just for the guys that had their heart set on aggy, but Sark overpaid for even though Elko wasn't really that interested in them.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Holy shit is right. Until you mentioned it, I didn't notice the page wasn't scrolling away from where I was reading as tweets loaded.

I'd still like 2. It's like the saying, "on their deathbed, no one ever wishes they'd spent less time on their boat". No defensive coordinator ever wished they had fewer DTs. At this point, there are 4 guys who weren't in high school a few weeks ago, including 3 who have never played a single down for Texas. Texas has been very fortunate with injuries that last few years. If one or two guys either don't pan out or get injured and things get ugly.

Maybe it's the camera angle, but he looks like someone put KD's arms and legs on a normal sized dude.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Agree. The issues this year weren't just short yardage or red zone. The offense bogged down somewhere between the middle of the second quarter and the start of the third.

I was mostly being snarky about calling Penix mobile and Mac Jones not mobile. Though I agree, neither of them self-sack the way Ewers does.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I get what you're saying, but Michael Penix had 8 yards rushing his senior year. He can only dream of the rarefied air of Mac Jones'... 14 yards of rushing his final season.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
You don't hire a head coach because they are a good play caller. You hire them because you think they'll be a good head coach. That's true of Sark, Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, etc. Turns out, Sark is a really good head coach. At this point, he's significantly better as a head coach than he is a playcaller. For get elite, he wasn't even a good play caller for extended stretches of every game the last half of the season. Did Ewers struggle at times? Sure. Did the running game struggle against good defenses? Yep. That happens and it's the play-caller's job to figure out something that does work. That's what Sark struggled with this year. If someone else were calling plays, this board would be calling for their head. No one is hired to be a "CEO Head Coach." They are hired as the head coach and then assign roles and responsibilities to staff. Sark has chosen to call plays himself and it is limiting the potential of his team.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
This is where CDC needs to step in and have an honest discussion with Sark. Sark is doing great in every aspect of the job except the one that he should be delegating anyway.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I assume it would be like Urban Meyer - he'd hire someone to run his offense. Lane Kiffin doesn't call plays for Ole Miss, but it's his offense. My hope is that Sark would be removed enough from the play calling that he could help problem solve when things aren't working. Though you're probably right, he doesn't sound like he's ready to give up play calling.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
That's not holding, that's spooning.

ND had two o-linemen making their first starts of the year against Penn State and were missing their best DT. Penn State had to shuffle their o-line mid-game. Texas was probably the healthiest semi-final team.

Totally agree. I'm hoping Sark learns from this. It seems weird to say that Sark is killing it as a head coach and punching himself in the dick as a playcaller.
