Not that it matters but the Mannings are 9-0 vs Vanderbilt all time.. But they also have all had their worst performances against them for whatever reason.

If they can't make a run this year then when will they? The next 4 years includes Texas 4X, LSU 4X Bama 2x, OU 2X, Georgia 2x, Ole Miss 2X, Tennessee 2X. Elko is a smart man and looking at Penn States future schedule they don't play Oregon until 2027 or Ohio State until 2028.

Penn State to me is the most intriguing opening. They fired Franklin at a time where he is potentially in demand by P4 schools so their buyout will be greatly reduced if multiple schools get involved there. It will also be the first time it has opened in modern history without scandal holding them back. I think they could get serious looks from Elko and Kelly which is better than any school not named Florida this year.
As for Florida their biggest advantage to Lane over Ole Miss is the ability to do a 10 year deal. For those unaware Mississippi schools can only offer 4 year deals so Lane has a rolling 6 year contract with the athletic foundation. Surely their boosters won't be dumb enough to personally guarantee that deal completely separate from the school.

Ever since the Georgia game a year ago the shine of Sark the offensive genius has slowly faded away and led to more questions than answers. It is time for Sark the CEO to fire Sark the OC, both of which are elite in their own right as history has shown, or he risks suffering the same fate of Tom Herman. There are plenty of examples of former great play callers that have allowed their Ego to undermine their ability to win at the highest level and ultimately led to their downfall.
Locally we saw Tom Herman on offense and Charlie Strong defense fail to property delegate their biggest strengths while focusing on building a program. Nationally we saw Jimbo fisher do the same and get fired at a&m after letting his ego ruin the entire program before the halfway point of his 10 year mega deal. We could spend hours finding examples of coaches failing to properly entrust their side of the ball with high level assistants.
If Sark wants to be held in the same breath as other elite Saban acolytes he needs to follow the lead of the others.
Saban- Identified Kirby Smart early and allowed him to become his DC in his late 20s leading to 4 national championships. After Smart he hired Pruitt who ultimately left to be the HC of Tennessee after a NC.
Smart- Since his first year in Athens he has relied on a DC to manage the defense starting with Mel Tucker before bringing in Lanning/Schumann to lead the defense. All of whom have been or will be a HC in their career.
Kiffin- The parallels of Sark and Kiffin are eerily similar in both their job history and failures on the biggest stages. In 2017 when hired at FAU he handed the play calling over to Kendall Briles and then Charlie Weiss Jr. After taking the Ole Miss job he has ran through a few OCs including Lebby who parlayed his success into HC gig and Weiss Jr who Ole MIss fans want gone. But the results show as a CEO Kiffin has been able to punch above his weight at a program that historically is foot note in the SEC.
Day- For the first 5 years of his tenure Day has had the same issues we are seeing with Sark in the playoffs. Great regular seasons and losing by a score in the playoffs in games that were very winnable. In year 6 Day finally gave up the play calling duties to Chip Kelly before winning his first championship and now allows Brian Hartline to call plays without missing a beat.
If Sark wants to make the leap the others have and keep his job at Texas long term here are a few names that make sense and should be capable of handling the job.Coaches with connections to Sark-
AJ Milwee- this is the most obvious choice but his development of QBs at Texas has left much to be desired. Also without any real play calling experience the job may be to much to ask. In the even a move is made I would like to see Milwee call plays at another school first.
Charlie Weiss Jr- for the past few years he has called plays for Ole Miss with varying results. Sark and Weiss spent a year together with the Falcons and the job would be more enticing than a rebuild at Florida if Kiffin takes that job.
Clay Helton- Laughing at this one on the surface is easy but look at the offenses he put up while calling plays for Sark at USC. In Sarks time there they averaged close to 35 a game before Helton took over as HC following Sarks dismissal. He is currently making $900k at Georgia Southern and fits the mold of HCs taking coordinator roles (Kelly at tOSU, Malzahn at FSU, Wommack at Alabama). Sitting at 3-4 after an 8 win high water mark last year Helton could look to get back to a blue blood at the highest level.
Tee Martin- Same connections as above. His offenses have left a lot to be desired but after spending time in the NFL under Todd Monken now may be the time for him to re emerge at the college level.
Coaches on the hot seat-Jonathan Smith- This one may take another year to play out but early signs are not pleasant for Smith at Michigan State. The closest connection Texas has to Smith is the 4 years Smith spent at Washington with Kwiatkowski before taking the Oregon State job.
Joe Moorhead- In year 4 as the HC of Akron things are not getting any better. Successful stints at Penn State and Oregon would make this a no brainer if it were to happen.
Garrett Riley- The younger brother of Lincoln rose to fame with the 2023 TCU runner up finish and quickly parlayed that to a job at Clemson where he was entrusted with a complete overhaul of the offensive system. This is the final year of his original deal at Clemson and may make sense for all parties to move on to allow Dabo to save face heading into a do or die year next year.
Bobby Petrino- I tried to justify this due to its abject hilarity but I can't, moving on.Pipe Dreams (I know these will not happen)-
Dan Mullen- Currently at UNLV and having early success but history shows the schools he wants would require three 10 win seasons before hiring him. Texas OC Dan Mullen would be able to parlay one or two seasons into whatever high end opening came up. Currently making $3 million a year.
Mike McDaniel- The future former Dolphins head coach has consistently gotten worse behind the QB play of the oft concussed Tua. His services will likely be sought after at the NFL level but a refresher in the college ranks should be entertained. Most likely returning to San Fran under Shanahan like Saleh just did.
Todd Monken- Has been the OC of the Ravens since 2023 after a successful run at Georgia but in the fickle world of NFL coaching Harbaugh may be forced to make a move to save face after a down year. Little chance this happens but always worth a call if things change in Baltimore.
The likelihood Sark makes a change to his play calling duties is thin barring a call from CDC that forces his hand. Hopefully for Texas this change is the result of a personal decision made by Sark alone that allows him to remain at Texas for a long time to come.

Just rewatched the offense and while Arch missed reads and could have played better on the day. Hero ball won't week in and week out but lets take a look at the situation going into his two INTs in the 4th quarter. The fact we were in the game late and this was not a blow out should give us a modicum of hope that the season is not yet over.
2 and 19 after two consecutive false starts on the O Line. Earlier on this drive he ran for a 1st down on 2nd and 20 after the O Line backed them up as well as a throw I will highlight at the end.
1st and 20 after another hold on the O Line. The previous set of downs he and Moore converted t on 3rd and 12 after two sacks nearly killed the drive before it started.
Here are a couple of throw missed early that should have been either huge gains or a touch down.
On an early 3 and out he had two of three passes face significant pressure off the jump. On the first play the only critiques are Endries is open the whole play or to dump to the RB earlier when pressure is felt.
Here Mosley beats his man but Arch could not get a clean throw without getting pummeled after Mcclain gets let loose and not picked back up. A quicker throw here may have been completed but WR did his job and the QB made the right read/throw.
I could go one for about 20 more of these that were either completed or not but the highlight of the day and the biggest takeaway from Arch's improvement was this pass being being on time and accurate to Moore for a 1st down. I was the biggest Quinn defender here but this would have been a sack last year. If the O Line is going to be a clown show for the rest of the year then this should give us some hope that he can win us some games with this kind of Grit.

Taking into account yesterdays events while stealing Terry and Brooks last year, it remains laughable how many national talking heads said that Georgia was a better job than Texas.

The Sun Belt going to Tripling down on the state of Louisiana is just lazy. Western Kentucky may be a good add in a new market but losing the Texas market as a whole is silly when Sam Houston is right there. Would add a solid FB and baseball member on Day 1

I don't have it down to a verifiable science but I like to play the name game this early in the process. Without any context my initial thought on a guy named Lamar Brown was LSU or aggy, it just sounds like a dude who's been there for years already.

My buddy is a fluid transfer specialist but went to Texas State. Not a good sign for us

From an Ole Miss mod
Getting a high major program interested and willing to sweep your skeletons in the closest is a big step for Beards image. This likely sets the tone for one of the Blue Bloods to hire him the next time they come open.

Beard's buyout for leaving for another job. Article from August '24
SpoilerIf Beard were to move on during the remainder of the first year of his contract, he would owe the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation $4,500,000. That amount drops to $3,500,000 in the second year and $2,500,000 in the third year before stabilizing at $1,000,000 for the final three years of Beard's deal. If athletic director Keith Carter and University Chancellor Glenn Boyce are no longer employed in their respective positions, Beard's buyout is cut in half.

I watched most of the games. aggy lost Schloss when the two drunk aggy cursed and screamed and damn near climbed into the Florida dogout to pick a fight with the Fla coach.
There are times when aggy goes beyond humor and into being a source of major embarrassment. The way we'd been flailing around looking for a coach, I had a feeling that last bit of aggyness was Schloss' last straw.
He was coming the second we fired pierce regardless of that incident. From pre tournament last year.

Idk why you all think this will have any effect on tomorrow's game. It'll be a sold-out Moody Center regardless of what happens.
99% of viewers will be watching the women games on their tvs. Those tvs will be talking about Texas men's and women's basketball during the game. That's a good thing for both programs.
