    This portal opening is going to be the most entertaining part of this whole thing since the end of the OSU playoff game a year ago.  

    Sark is keeping Orphey? Or just until a replacement can be found after the season?

    I think I read/heard Orphey is safe.

    My sweet Lord. Reading the thread since the Muschamp hiring is borderline exhausting. Some of the hawtest takes on this recruiting board, ever, on here between pages 45 and 48. I was quoting posts at first and by the time I reached 20, I just deleted them all, said “fuck it” and made myself a rye manhattan. 

    If you can’t be excited by the Muschamp hire and all that that implies, wow. PK did really well, but he basically recused himself from having to be involved with talent evaluations and was regularly pining to get back to the west coast. Muschamp had agreed to take the DC role when Sarkisian was hired and helped handpick the staff. His wife stunned everyone and refused to agree to moving back to Austin. She loves Austin and returns several times a year to visit with friends and shop. She didn’t want to leave while the kids were in college. So Muschamp had to bow out. PK was a great back up, but Muschamp is who Sarkisian wanted from the jump. 

    Muschamp is hands on with talent evaluation, with all of the game planning, has deep knowledge of the Georgia nemesis, endless energy, and will never be a yes man. He will tell Sarkisian straight up when he thinks he’s fucking up. The guy used to eat Greg Davis alive, in front of Mack Brown. 

    You and I probably know some of the same people.

    Another reason to be excited, Muschamp will absolutely offer his input on strength and conditioning. I think we are going to see a different approach this offseason. 

    For sure, but I’m not sure he will have an issue with our current program. The people I know in the S&C community seem to like Becton pretty well, and they run with the people who Muschamp used to like (Tom Moffitt disciples). Muschamp’s biggest issue with our strength program was the lack of accountability in the weight room. I don’t think that’s currently an issue, but I’m not as plugged in as I used to be.

    Can you post it again?

    I have high expectations for Muschamp and think he can do a great job, I don't disagree with you, but with the caveat that year 1 in any new system has hiccups. It's the latter part that makes me skeptical of the fanfic line that Sark just canned PK because the defense took a step back (as if the OC isn't a bigger problem through that lens).

    Texas is all in on 2026 and that vision probably didn't include breaking in a new DC because the year 1 issues that can entail are at odds with the idea of maximizing next year. I think Sark was proactive in the sense that he was aware that PK was looking for an out and made a quick move to secure a top replacement - not that he just looked at PK this season and over the past 4 years and said "Nope, not good enough."

    Anway, I think we're kind of going in circles so I'm gonna drop this here.

    Year 1 the first time around was 2008. That defense dominated.

    What a surprise!  I figured Muschamp would never come back to Texas because of the rumored screwing around with the rumored HCIW designation 15 years ago (time flies when Texas football is mediocre for a decade!).  My assumption is this will resonate with the Georgia and other SEC territory commits and recruits.  Tyler Atkinson can be unleashed to his full ass kicking potential.

     

    He always loved Texas. So did his wife (probably more than he did), from what I’ve been told.
