    Maybe it's ballsy leadership maybe not. Kinda depends on how it works out. 

    True. And I hope Sark eventually proves he knows what he's doing and that he's making the right calls, because it's not looking good so far. A losing record last season, and then this past weekend, Sark getting teabagged on national TV by tech's high school coach.

     it appears that PK is a disaster of a hire, the question remaining being how poorly does it reflect on Sarkisian that he isn't gone already.

    It says everything we need to know about Sark.

    At the end of last season, every casual fan could see that PK sucks. But Sark stubbornly chose to stick with him anyway. Now four games into Sark's second season, we're all just praying we make a bowl game.

    Now compare that to Aranda. As a rookie head coach in 2020, he only won 2 games. In response, he fires and replaces his OC and most of his offensive staff, after only one season with them on staff.  The result? The next year he wins the conference championship and the freaking Sugar Bowl, and finishes ranked Top 10 in the country.

    THAT'S what ballsy leadership looks like. A leader unafraid to make tough decisions. Instead, we keep ending up with head coaches that hold on to sucky coordinators as long as they can so that when their seat gets hot, they'll have a sacrificial lamb they can throw to their bosses, the BMDs, and the fanbase to buy them an extra year or two to get paid millions of bucks to underperform relative to the blue chip talent they have on the roster.

    When will it end?

    Kiffin did have a 10-2 season there, but he seemed to be an absolute cunt by the end of his tenure much like Herman here.

    Here’s the Gundy fan fiction.  0 conference titles, but 10 win seasons every year.

    Gundy actually won a conference championship in 2011, and by all rights should've been playing for a natty, but the BCS gave us the Bammer/LSU 2.0 snoozefest rematch instead. He got hosed IMO.

    And averaging almost 9 wins a season for almost two decades in Stoolwater, Oklahoma is pretty damn impressive in my book. Have you ever seen that town? It makes Lubbock look like Vegas in comparison. Can you imagine what he could do with the talent we haul in every year?

    Hiring Gundy would be a home run, which probably means it'll never happen.

     

    Dammit now I'm even more depressed. Is it too early to start drinking whiskey? Maybe I can pour out a 40 over the graves of our failed coaching hires.

    Holy shit, tech had 9 defenders in box. And that's not even counting the shallow safety, which essentially means they had TEN of eleven defenders loading the box.

    And Sark the "offensive genius" couldn't ascertain that you shouldn't run the football when the entire team's defense is inside the box?

    That's the most embarrassing loss you've seen? You obviously weren't alive for the McWilliams or Mackovic eras. 

    I would sacrifice a chicken to the football gods to have Mackovic as our head coach right now. At least he won a few conference championships.

  6. Reading this thread from the beginning when the news of Sark was first leaked by FCB, to the point when it became apparent that he's the next head coach, is like observing a case study of the 5 stages of grief. At first there was plenty of denial and anger, and now I'm not sure if we are still in the bargaining stage or have moved all the way to acceptance.

    Let’s keep talking about that 2005 national championship and prior to that it was all talk about DKR’s accomplishments even 10-15 down the years.


    I challenge you to actually prove that our university talks about winning more than they actually want to win.

    We’re a literal version of the high school state champion QB who never went on to play college ball that does nothing but talk about his days as a high school QB.

    Holy shit we are Uncle Rico

    Now I need a drink
