The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
Horn of Gabriel replied to TexasMan's topic in Football
100%. Perspective is valuable here too. We're currently 6-2, coming off of b2b CFP semis. We've put a record number of players into the NFL, and the O-line was heavily impacted by that. People who judge a coach on that one season's results are dumb, you need to consider a rolling couple of years average. Sark looks good on that metric. Not perfect. But if your standard is that Texas should compete for the national title every year, you're unreasonable because no one does that. "Yeah we're 6-2 but a hair's width from being 4-4!" ...except we aren't. "Yeah but in the NIL/portal era there is no excuse for being young/inexperienced" ...ok? Coaching staff woulda coulda gotten better players via the portal this offseason, but there is no magical supply of the players we need either, and while we do have money to get players, the "money whip" thing is not real, because top-end players have a decision process that involves more than money. Ahmed Hardy would not have come to Texas to sit behind Baxter and Wisner. "Yeah but Sark's OTA/NFL focused offseason was too soft and created a bad culture!" ...the same culture that just pulled together for b2b OT wins. "Yeah but Sark is flirting with the NFL that that hurts my feels!" ...you'd prefer a coach that doesn't aspire to move up? And yes, coaching a NFL team is a move up in prestige in the coaching world. ANY call to fire Sark, or force an OC on him which is the same as firing him, needs to be weighed against the alternative. Remember: you're just as likely, maybe even more likely, to end up with Charlie Strong 2.0 or Tom Herman 2.0 than the next Saban. It's easy to bitch but you're rolling the dice every time you hire, ask OU.- 2492 replies

CDC doesn't have shit to do with the HFBC hiring or firing decision at Texas.

His teams are tough and play hard, and his o-line is really good. Currently undefeated this year and played Georgia a lot closer than we did last year with way inferior talent. Not sure how he'd be at the bullshit parts of the job.

Victor Wembanyama- basketball's NEXT next unicorn?

And steals. I still think he'll get a quintuple double at some point in his career. -

Can we stop with the "Del Conte will do this" and "CDC will do that" ? CDC isn't empowered to do shit on the HFBC at Texas. That's Eltife and a cabal of BMDs driving that bus. CDC is advisory at best and order-taker at worst if he's even on the bus. -

bullshit hometown cookin for Zion on that call -
It's dumb but I appreciate the randomness and it gives me another reason to smile when I look up and OU isn't on there. Fuck OU.

As bad as it feels for BB, I feel more for the graphics design guys in the room who have to stand there while she shits on their faces with the "I could do this in 3 minutes in Adobe Photoshop" bullshit by a zero-taste, low-IQ golddigger who seems to think putting animated gifs on a website is in any way the same as building motion graphics for a television production. Every job looks easy until you're the one doing it, bitch. I'm thankfully at a point in my life now where I generally don't have to work with people I don't like, and I can walk away. That one guy leaning on the table looking at the ground probably doesn't have a tongue anymore because he just bit it right off. Good for him for being the bigger man, I'm not sure I wouldn't have snapped back at her when she showed her ignorance.

This had to be the punishment for losing a bet somehow.

For reference, we were west side upper deck. Things that were improved: Entry/Ingress: we were in our seats an hour before kick, but once we actually found Gate B (which has really shitty access and is wedged between the edge of the cotton bowl and an exterior building), we had an easy ride up the escalators to our seats. Restrooms (slightly) Walkways: they were less cramped than years past and expanded outwards? Still needs improvements: Squatters Signage Sound system (please don't make it Zillatron level pain but just enough to hear announcements) Seat labels in our section were basically gone Wifi/Cellular coverage: put up some temp towers Verizon/ATT! And yes, our focus is on the game not our phones but we also have kids at home that we're trying to stay in touch with... As immamac said above if they pushed out the upper deck concourse another 25 feet all the way around, they could build a ringed walkway around the entire stadium, which would make room for more concessions, more restrooms, and better flow. It would probably cost $100MM too. Some of those buildings that abutt the stadium are ancient and are not what drive tens of thousands of people to the fair. Knock down and relocate the damn foot court building to make room for expansion of the stadium!
