  1. This is my general understanding as well. There wasn't a lot of interest in the job after the way everything went down with Mack. He really is an epic piece of shit and I cant believe hes allowed to snoop around the program again. Fuck that guy. Powers advocated for Strong because he wanted a black coach. Dont know how much of a difference that made in actually hiring him but Ive heard donors say it. A Dallas group is who fumbled the situation with Saban and drove the Patterson hire at AD. The pendulum swung back to Houston and we ended up with Herman as a result. The story of him and his wife showing up to a cocktail reception in Houston right after the deal was done is hilarious. Herman bolted straight to the bar when he got there and ordered a vodka and ice in a pint glass. Eltife and Hartzell put a good bid together from multiple cities but missed out on Meyer. I heard a big part of the reason they landed on Sark is because they were determined to fix the QB situation that had plagued us for so long. Shouldnt be hard to figure out who will be making the next hire if we make one. NIL drives the bus now, as it should in my opinion. We will only go as far as our NIL support takes us, just like everyone else now. Love it or hate it, thats cfb today.
  2. Feels like LSU is negotiating against themselves by flying the family there to have a look.
  3. I'd be shocked if Sark even entertains the idea of taking the playsheet out of his hands. I think he'd rather be an OC in the NFL than a CEO HC in college.
  4. I wanna see what the injury report looks like and monitor the media noise around Sark before making a full prediction, but right now I'm leaning towards us taking care of business against Arkansas. We are a different team at home.
  5. I'd like to see the Rebels do well. They've navigated NIL really well and I'd like to see my Ole Miss family/friends get to enjoy a good run before he jumps to Florida. I dont think its gonna happen because I think Ole Miss is gonna force the issue on his extension before the playoffs start.
  6. No clue how Kiffin would do here. That guy has all sorts of skeletons in his closet. Maybe he has actually grown up, seems like he has. But he was an epic dirtbag for years. It would all depend on our $$$ guys appetite for that potential stuff after Sark.
  7. Yes. He has been given everything he could hope for to succeed here.
  8. 1-7 against top 5 teams. His offense averaged 17.6 points in those games. And after all that, he just got completely outclassed again in his latest attempt to turn it around. He's not a bad coach, but he's clearly not an elite coach. He's got elite support around him.
  9. We didnt just lose to Florida. What happened to the OL this season and especially in that game is completely unacceptable. It was a massive red flag that something is very seriously wrong inside the program. Our prized SEC royalty QB has been getting completely punished and we are dead last in the SEC in rushing. Thats with our donors giving Sark extreme levels of support both with $$$ and patience.
  10. I dont know what would happen if he loses to Arkansas at home. A lot of people seem to be stuck in the old model of cfb. Nowadays if you lose the locker room and you lose the donors its pretty much over. The money gets turned off like a light switch, recruits cancel visits, players opt out and hit the portal. You cant even pay for your roster for the next season at that point. You're done. Sark would have to go to his money guys and make major promises about hiring a playcalling OC and shifting gears completely. I just dont see him doing that.
  11. Texas has been very good to Sark as far as Im concerned. He can still leave here with an overall net positive tenure. There is another fork in the road where things end up so ugly for him that I would actually worry about the guy. Based on how he has looked so often this season I already am kind of worried for him. If he somehow actually gets a HC offer in the NFL he would be crazy not to take the opportunity for a change of scenery. I understand he cant give up playcalling duties. Thats the whole shooting match for him, what gets him out of bed in the morning. I also understand he isnt capable of calling the plays as a HC. I think its time for an amicable split where we wish him the best and continue to cheer for his success both on and off the field.
  12. A buddy texted me that Desmond Howard posted that he thinks Sark will go to the NFL after this season but I cant find the actual post.
  13. Arch continued to take a step forward last night. If he caps off the season playing the way he is playing right now, his bumpy start out of the gate will be in the rear view mirror.
  14. I find it shocking more hasnt spilled over into other media outlets. Lets hope it stays that way.
  15. Take away the helmet, take away the names, and just give the stats to anyone that remotely know football, and their first suggestion for this team would be to hire a new OC.
