    It’ll be interesting to return to this thread next season. Love the aggy callouts because I’m not buying into Sark’s bullshit 8-4 season. Dude is a loser at being a HFC and always will be. There is literally nothing that will change that and those hoping it will are simply wishcasting. I guess the last 15 years of wandering the desert have hardened my psyche about anything Texas football. 
     

    As a fellow recovering drunk- I am however, very happy he is sober and wish him nothing but success for the rest of his tenure. Onward.

    Next year: “The conference is down, so of course Sarkisian did better, but it won’t last.”

    After the A&M game I can guarantee some of these surly posters would have predicted a loss in the Big 12 Championship game. With Mack not ever having won a conference title and that poor performance it's a certainty. 

    “Coach February gonna choke against Colorado again. Watch.”

    Same thing was said about Mackovic after McWilliams. Same thing was said about Herman after Strong. Keep on dreamin'. Maybe it will come true. I hope it does. 

     

    Correct.

    Things are getting better relative to the day Sarkisian stepped on campus. Do you dispute this?

    It looked like a fumble to me. Definitely wasn't a forward pass, but Baylor guy next to us said it can be directly lateral and will still be considered a pass. I always thought a lateral was a free ball. I dunno which is correct, but there's really no such thing as a true lateral, just like there's no such thing as a tie at first base in baseball. It was either a forward pass or a backward toss.

    Forward is a pass. Perfectly in line with ”passer” or backwards is a free ball.

  5. Nor was it a get out of jail card.
     
    However, a LOSS to such a team generally is a “get fired” card, especially a loss later in the coaching tenure.

    That could well be the case. If it were going to be the case, though, I wouldn’t let a late game-winning FG or the like dissuade me from the firing.
  6. We are talking about Kansas, not ISU or KSU, and last year’s Kansas was particularly awful.
     

    He was talking about wins and losses in the abstract, it seems to me. All the more so given the way he talked about people forgetting that close wins were almost losses.

    And, if not, beating Kansas in OT or a last second field goal, or whatever, doesn’t inspire any more confidence in the program even if a field goal goes in rather than going wide right. A win is preferable, but a win isn’t necessarily a get out of jail free card.
  7. The difference between a win and a loss is actually immeasurable and infinite. So no, they are in fact entirely and extremely different. 


    In the win and loss columns? Yes.

    In the enjoyment factor? Definitely.

    As far as declaring a coach’s development and management of a program as competent based on, say, whether a field goal goes wide or not? Not so much.

    Maybe games like that sort themselves out over time, but everyone here has walked out of a win thinking “this team is fucked.” One doesn’t have to look far around here to see the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the “entirely and extremely different” wins against ISU and KSU.

    I’d much rather see wins. That doesn’t mean a win indicates things are going well or that a loss means they aren’t. But, yes, wins are preferable.
  8. I’m not backpedaling at all. I just recognize that you won’t admit it. Here’s a screenshot for you to enjoy.

    2022 and you still don’t understand the difference between “OP” and “page one.” That might explain some things.

    “I didn’t move the goalposts. I’m responding to your false claims that this thread was started by me pitching a tantrum and calling Sark ‘trash’.”

    That’s not a claim I made, but it seems like you’ve figured that out by now and are trying to…

  10. Fair enough, and in none of my posts on “page one” (the only ones I can control) did I call Sarkisian “trash”.
     

    Again, I don’t know why you’re trying to say I attributed anything to you, in particular. I was talking about comments in this thread, not yours, in particular.

    When I’m talking about you, in particular, I quote you and direct the comment at you. As when I asked about your take on who would be a better coach for Texas. You’re making it personal when it’s not meant that way.

  11. You can try to claim otherwise, but we both know it’s false. You can try to dig yourself out by lying more, but we all know that only makes you look more foolish.
     
     
    ETA: I believe the exact word I used was “middlin”. 

    You directed me to, and I quote, “page one.”

    Maybe this kind of imprecise, goalpost moving nonsense usually works for you, but it won’t in this instance.

  12. Pointing to a head coach’s mediocre record and calling it a mediocre record produced by a mediocre head coach isn’t an opinion. It’s pointing out a fact.
     
    It is illuminating that you have to lie about what I said in order to try to paint my OP as pitching a tantrum. 

    “Mediocre” is a characterization and doesn’t mean the same to everyone. Hence, it’s opinion. His record is X-Y. That’s fact.

    It’s illuminating that you lie when you claim I said anything about anything in particular that you said. This thread is full of the “Sarkisian is trash” take. I didn’t attribute anything to you, in particular. I said “thread” not “OP.” Nice try, though.
