    So glad to be wrong. In the week of coaches getting 10 year deals go ahead and bump Jimmy Back up to whatever you need to and make the end date open ended.

    I guess sometimes it really is a marathon and not a sprint but last year he looked like he was going in the wrong direction.

    Go blue.

    Michigan was bad last year during Covid, but Big Blue never went 5-7 under Jimmy

    Wanna trade?

    With my Mean Green winning, Ohio State loss and Bama losing this is shaping up to be a great day for football.

    Now we need an LSU win over aggy and it'll be a great CFB day

    Watching the Iron Bowl now, and I can’t help but think… if you locked our 11 defensive starters in a room with Bama’s 11 defensive starters and told them “no one is allowed to leave until all players from one team are dead”, I’m confident all 11 Bama players would walk out of that room unscathed about 2 minutes later. 

    Hell, our guys don't want any part of Iowa St either.

    1. We didnt have enough good players to run people off.

    2. The coaches were smart to spend a year on seeing who will step up and lead next year.

    Maybe so, but I think turning over 30% of the roster now is going to set Texas Football back another year or two. Sark won't be around to reap the benefits in that scenario. Our boosters and fans aren't that patient.

    But, I don't know what he promised Hartzell, Eltife, and CDC during his interviews. I doubt anyone saw 5-7 coming, though.

    This is quite accurate.

    But I’m not sure who the bad apples are. Think many Thought Coburn was. But he blew up 3 of 4 short yardage plays yesterday. So what does that say.

    I read that the new staff wanted Coburn to drop 20-30 lbs and he refused to do it. No doubt, he's capable in short bursts. But, he probably lacks the conditioning needed to do it consistently well.

    Show me where you said to get rid of him during spring. No one said that. It’s so fucking stupid. 

    It's not unreasonable or unexpected for a new HC to run off guys immediately if he doesn't like their tape, character, or fit. The point is Sark didn't do much, if any, of that last spring. But, maybe he believed they'd reform or "coach up" Foster and others.

    Regrettably, we found out he couldn't.

    Yeah, they won two titles with coaches who are abject morons.  Riley would be the first coach in their history that's a progressive offensive coach.  Les Miles ran a high school offense that had problems with basic passing plays.  Riley would be a monster there.

    That being said, I'm still surprised if he leaves.

    Ogre gave Joe Brady freedom to run their offense and it was pretty damn progressive...and impressive. That's why 2019 was LSU's best in spite of his shortcomings.

    Agree that Riley will be awesome there. He'll bring in a good DC.

    I just don’t think it’s that easy to get buy in like that. Especially with guys that have been through multiple position coaches. And honestly, no one was saying cut Foster in spring. So that’s kinda dumb to say.

    No, it isn't. We've got 3 years of film with BJ taking poor angles, bad tackling, and weak ball skills. Throw in character issues and he's one we could've done without. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

    But, now  Sark is gonna get tough and demand buy-in? Okay...

    I mean when would you have liked it to start?? You would have thought he was the dumbest human alive had he tried to turn over 30% of the roster during spring. We have the benefit of hindsight now. 

    Last spring, with a few bad apples like BJ Foster. I'm not convinced he needs to turn over 30% of this roster. He needed to get buy-in and to coach 'em up. Didn't happen.

    I have thought he's the dumbest coach alive at times this season.

    Yeah, let's hurry up and be the other formerly-good-now-shitty-UT in the SEC.

    Yeah, I was really excited about the SEC move until this past season. Now it don't make a shit. No matter where we go, there we are.

    I guess it'll make baseball more interesting.

    ...I might be able to accept these shit results if the guy in charge had some kind of track record of successfully turning things around. But we don't even have that. There is literally nothing that makes me optimistic about this coach. Not one thing.

    Sark took an 0-12, 2008 U-Dub team to 5-7 in 2009. That's the extent of his dynamic turnarounds. Nothing about his HC track record says he's got the chops for UT.

    I just don’t think there was enough time for a purge to start in spring. It’s starting now tho and the messaging is going to be clear for new players coming to Texas 

    It's starting now bc Sark has gotta cover his ass while passing the buck.

    I expect 6-6 or 7-5, at best, next season if we turnover 30%+ of this roster. Unless we do better in the portal than we have. The DEs we got from Bama and LSU - Davis & Thornton - were JAGs. K-Rob was pretty good, but limited, or he would've seen more snaps. He's a liability in the passing game is my guess, both receiving and pass-blocking.

    That’s the second thing he’s said (the first being “I’m built for this”) that leads me to believe he may be more aggressive then his public persona shows.  Out of all the coaches that have been through Alabama, Sark was the one they were ready to give the keys to the kingdom to after Saban retired. That leads me to believe that there may be more to him from a coaching standpoint then what we’ve seen so far. This season was a unmitigated disaster but I think if Sark is given the opportunity to recruit players he feels fits his system he will get this thing turned around. 

    Bama also hired DuBose, Franchione, Price (does he even count?), and Shula.

    An upgraded roster will be nice. Incidentally, why didn't "the purge" begin last spring? Now we gotta hope Sark doesn't need to make any halftime/2nd half adjustments in close games.
