It still hasn't really really sunk into my head how badly Sark has fucked up the management of this team. Like i see all the evidence and my brain just won't fully believe it went to this level of shit so badly and quickly.
Sark was caught on national tv picking his nose and eating his boogers. This shouldn’t be surprising to any of us.

I've always wondered if he was against benching Hurts in the title game, and Saban told to eat shit and change his tampon.
Sark wasn’t even on the Alabama staff during that season. He won the title at Alabama in 2020 during the COVID shortened season, so it’s more like a *championship since that season was not a normal one.

I know you think this is "funny"... but don't believe for a second that it isn't being discussed by some folks who have the bank accounts to make it happen.
I can’t handle Part Deux of Mack cockblocking Saban for a second time. I’m too old for this shit. At least I got to see VY when I was in my prime. I don’t ever see something like that happening to Texas again the way things keep going over the past 20 years.

It’s giving Herman’s “Of Mice and Men” analogy after losing to Maryland.
Texas, Herman said Monday, was like the simple but brutish Lennie from Steinbeck's classic "Of Mice and Men." The Longhorns tried so hard to win that they killed their chance to do it.
"Lennie wanted so badly to touch the rabbit and play with the rabbit -- he squeezed it so hard, he killed the rabbit," Herman said, noting he told linebacker Gary Johnson to read the book. "I know that seems maybe out there a little bit. I think that's what the first quarter was. We wanted it so badly, we got in our own way quite a bit."
Herman mangled the analogy a bit. In the novel, Lennie kills a puppy, a mouse and a woman and only dreams of rabbits. And Lennie gets killed at the end.

Thought I read somewhere that he woke up in the hospital with no recollection really of what happened, the fight, getting stabbed, etc.
I believe it. A guy I knew woke up in a jail cell, glass still in his mouth thinking he had killed someone (he was drunk) and was panicking his life was over.
It turns out he was in jail because he had been T-boned by an even drunker girl who rammed into his car. He was still facing DUI charges, but the surveillance footage showed him driving normally. A girl ran the red light and slammed right into his car, the impact so severe that the glass from the window flew into his mouth.
He didn’t remember getting in the car to drive, he just said the last thing he remembered was taking shots at the bar and then waking up in a jail cell. He was 13 miles into the drive and 1.5 miles from his house. This was pre-Uber days but I’m sure shit like this still happens regularly.

It seems like we have an unsafe and untrue slogan (all gas no brakes—which seems in real life like a shit driving strategy and also something we haven’t done except in a few games) as a “culture” and paying a lot of dudes. Yes we are Texas. But what is our identity? I submit we have none.
“All gas, no brakes” sounds like “big tits, no testing” and now we’re shocked our dicks are leaking yellow juice because we spent the last 5 years being focused on body count instead of actually vetting people for quality.

If you rule out coaches that were fired or on a staff of a fired head coach, you aren’t going to have anyone left to choose from. That’s part of the business of coaching.
My point is that Sark has no young emerging talent on his staff. There’s nobody like Will Stein. Sark’s staff is full of washed up dudes like Neal Brown who were just fired, yet we’re supposed to be excited that Sark scooped them up to be part of his staff. Even when Herman was hiring all of his Houston buddies, they didn’t have the same track record of being shitcanned at their previous schools the way Sark’s coaches have.

I was meh on the Sark hire, but I became sold on the idea that he was top notch program builder. Yeah, about that. We seem to be a flip house with lots of foundational issues, particularly on offense.
This year seems like a write-off. The good news is lines and skill positions can be rebuilt via the portal much more quickly than the old days. I'm just not sure I trust this crew to do it.
We hired Sark when NIL became legal. Maybe it was the money and not necessarily Sark who made things better. We were just so happy to be done with Herman that we overlooked a lot of Sark’s shortcomings.
You have to remember we were coming off of Herman who was a fucking tyrant who had everyone in the program walking on eggshells and burning players’ food when they would underperform in practice.
All of Sark’s NFL guys were Herman’s dudes. Now we are in Year 5 with nothing but Sark recruits and look at the team. Sark has done nothing but hire his coaching buddies who have been fired from other programs.
OL Flood - suspended and fired as Rutgers HC
ST Banks - part of Sumlin’s fired aggy staff
RB Scott - part of Neal Brown’s fired WVU staff
Asst Neal Brown - fired as WVU HC
Asst Kerry Joseph - Eberflus’ QB coach in Chicago (Eberflus was fired)
Co-DC Nansen - not fired but was alleged to be Sark’s drinking buddy at UW & USC, was on staff when Sark was fired at USC
QB Milwee - part of fired HC Terry Bowden’s staff at Akron
Mike Bimonte - played backup QB for Flood during his stint at Rutgers HC where Flood was fired

If you look at the players that have been drafted under Sark, almost all were Herman signees and portal guys. Not many original Sark recruits have been drafted yet. Banks and Williams, Worthy, Who else? I’m not counting guys who Herman had committed and Sark signed.
Kelvin Banks only came here because Cristobal left to Miami and Worthy fell into our lap because Michigan doesn’t know how to do paperwork on time.

It's not just the OL and we have been putting guys in the NFL yet still have those issues.
Most of the guys we put in the NFL were not even Sark’s guys. Kelvin Banks only came here because Cristobal left for Miami. And Flood has been smelling his own farts because of this 1st round pick this whole time, oblivious to the fact his OL room stinks like shit.

Here’s my favorite part:
“Per the source, the other person involved in the incident was a grease disposal truck operator that works with local restaurants. That driver and Sanchez got into the altercation, according to the source, when Sanchez told the driver he was upset that the grease disposal truck was blocking a nearby alley.
The source also indicated that Sanchez was acting erratically and had started doing wind sprints in the alley before the stabbing occurred.”

I told my dad this during the game... this is easily the worst Texas line I've seen. Like ever. Its hard to watch.
Wtf have they worked on all year.
Seems like Flood is spending a whole lotta time doing this instead of actually developing players. Which is ironic because the whole tone of this speech gives me a Steve Ballmer “developers!” vibe.

Kyle Flood blows. He was fired as a Head Coach from FUCKING RUTGERS where he got suspended when half a dozen players got arrested for assault and robbery. No surprise the O-Line is terrible. Flood’s backup QB during this time was Mike Bimonte who is AJ Milwee’s right hand man in developing QBs. WTF are we doing with Rutgers rejects on our coaching staff?!? And don’t get me started with Neal Brown and the WVU staff that got fired who are also coaching here.
I need someone to help me get in contact with this man
