  1. He failed in the NFL. The vast majority of coaches do. But he was successful at both stops in college and had three 10+ win seasons, which is three more than Sark. Not saying he'd be my first choice, but Saban/Urban/Dabo aren't walking through that door.
  2. According to this site we would owe him $15.7M at the end of this season. If we lose out and Arch decommits I could see it happening. But the Urban ship has sailed. We'd probably go after Rhule.
  3. Ah yes the Sims game.. Looked it up, he actually went to 4 (99 vs Nebraska) So yeah, Mack was way better than Herman.
  4. True, but Mack should've gone to 3 and we were arguably the best team in the country each of those years (definitely in 05, obviously). He also had to share a division with prime Stoops, who owned his ass; despite shitting the bed against OU, I would take those early 00s teams over Herman's CCG team that lost 4 games.
  5. Eh, he had 4 years and managed 1 CCG appearance.. and we couldn't really bring him back after going all out for Urban. It's hard to say what would've happened if he had NIL money to throw around, but my guess is he'd still be good for at least 2-3 WTF losses every year. Not the guy, but yes, probably better than Mr. 7 Win.
  6. Herman's buyout was around $15M, which is roughly what we'll owe Sark after this season. You have to think he'll be gone if we go 5-7 again, right? Right???
  7. If you want to actually win anything of significance, you need both.
  8. He's not walking away from that contract.
  9. How long before they conduct an "internal investigation" and try to fire him for cause?
  10. Re-read the post I was responding to..
  11. Sark was a shiny new object, so he can't be fired. Same with Charlie and Herman. But all that really matters is recruiting. Just ask Jimbo.
  12. Sark was never the shiny new object. He was hired out of left field after we missed on Urban.
  13. So you think Jimbo's gonna turn it around too?
  14. Rhule is out there. Not quite Urban, but he's probably an 8/10 hire and would almost certainly take the job. Wonder how bad things need to get to make the ole switcheroo..
  15. UW use to shut down Leach's offense at WSU. Was it all Jimmy Lake? What's he up to these days?
  16. Charles Haley and Darren Woodson were pretty good though
  17. So if we get elite talent at every level of the defense, it might work?
  18. I felt the same. Hated the hire, and hated it even more up until the last couple weeks. And while I loved every second of 49-0, that OU team is probably worse than any of the shit teams we've fielded over the last 12 years. They're that pitiful. But maybe Sark is the guy. Two weeks ago I would've said no way in hell; now I'd say it's about 50/50. Not a sure thing like some people seem to think after last week, but things appear to be trending upwards. We should know by the end of the season.

    Rhule

    I give him credit for turning things around at Temple and Baylor. He's shown he can walk into a complete shitshow and at least make them respectable. But I agree with others in this thread--he's not the sure-fire future Saban/Urban/Dabo that some people make him out to be.
  20. They're aggy. It's a low bar.
  21. Hopefully they add another 10 years to the extension.
  22. Best 3-3 team in the country.
  23. OU's proximity to Texas and DFW specifically will prevent them from completely falling off the map like Nebraska. As OP stated, they are basically where we were in Strong's first year--a gutted roster with an incompetent HC. They'll give Venables 2 or 3 years, and then start the process over again. However, it's a tougher rebuild than Texas; I doubt they'll still be able to pull top 10 classes after several seasons of mediocrity.
  24. Depends on how you define resurrect. Make them respectable? Or make them legit contenders? You need top 5 recruiting classes for the latter. I can't imagine that happening at Nebraska, unless they do something completely outside the box.
