Give Sonny time... he's gonna shit the bed after Riley and Gillespie move on.

I agree. He was terrible at Cal and caught lightning in a bottle. Let’s see next year if he returns to 6-6 norm.

Herman also didn’t have NIL coops doing all the heavy lifting like Sarky has the benefit of 

He was too busy trashing current players on the roster to Garrett Wilson and his parents

Holy fuck, it's like you don't see coaches lose it on the sideline every fucking game, at the slightest stupid shit. Most football coaches are borderline sociopaths.

So what point are we making with Dykes? The guy who had won more than 8 games twice in his 13 year career before this year? Because if the point is coaches can evolve, get better and be evaluated by better talent then I don’t think people they are making the point they think they are.

For every Sonny Dykes this year, there are 20 other first year coaches who did absolutely nothing. He’s the outlier this year, not the norm. We will see if he can sustain it. Half this board was fondling Dave Aranda and Sam Pittman’s balls at this time last year.

Chase the peak. What could go wrong?

Dykes inherited some great pieces for his 1st year. They should not have fired Patterson, that program will decline - leading to my second point.

If we had hired Dykes as the HC, you complaining lot would’ve thrown the biggest tantrum this site has ever seen. 

So what? Sonny Dykes just did something that Sark isn’t likely to ever do at Texas. Lead his team to the NCG.

I wouldn’t have hired Dykes because he had never done a fucking thing before this season. 
 

Which, incidentally, also applies to Steve Sarkisian.

 

Dykes sucks, Sark sucks worse.

Fair enough. My comment was more a Dykes comment than a defense of Sarkisian.

I think the point is currently Dykes is better than Sark but I don't think either should have/be hired here.

Who were the top choices around here when Herman was fired?

Posted (edited)

Dykes had an incredible season and will basically be as good as his coordinators. I say coordinators because Sark needs one! An OC. A main play caller. He cannot be all three things and get to the level we want. You can’t be HC, QB whisperer and main OC. It has rarely worked. Hire a damn OC Sark. For fuck’s sake. And no he couldn’t have done what Dykes just did at TCU for that reason and he can’t scheme with what he has on hand. Has to be his guys. Dykes would have loved to have a world class RB tandem like Rojo and Bijan. We didn’t use them correctly and that’s on Sark. Worthy should have been benched at the Alamo Bowl. That’s on Satk. That wasted TO is on Sark. Dykes could have schemed with what we have here using GARRETT FUCKING RILEY! we had to put our hopes in Kansas to try and beat KState and didn’t even make it the B12 CCG. Which we seldom do…

That’s fair but aren’t you someone who keeps saying “let the AD run a true process”? It appeared he tried to and wanted to hire someone you don’t think should have been hired here.

When will we ever catch lightning in a bottle? All we ever do is turn our noses at other programs accomplishing what we haven't in a long time. Who cares about next year. Sonny is in a national championship game this year. Of course next year could be a letdown seeing they will have a lot of turnover and schools like TCU aren't going to just reload with 5 stars. But what he did this year was amazing, 100x better than our loser coaches we keep going through since Mack. All these excuses that keep getting made for them

This. Give me a NC appearance next year and I’ll take my chances after that. Yes, we all want to build into the next bama or Georgia but is that likely? That said he was lucky as fuck going 6-1 in one score games and winning a few of those the way they did.

UT had a Tom Landry-like coach. His name was John Mackovic and his six years here are years I cannot get back sadly.

I would take every person on that offense over ours except Bijan, Rojo, Jatavion, and Banks. And both RB’s they have aren’t that bad. Experience matters, every contributor is at least a junior except Jordan Hudson and he’s a 5 star.

You were saying…

What are you trying to do here? Show that Texas made two mistakes in a row? Because it’s actually 3 in a row.

We have a guy who has shown an ability to take lesser players and scheme them into winning offense. He is currently the Passing Game Coordinator. 

But, yeah, Garrett Riley.

I get X isn’t his problem entirely but Marion needs to get control of his WR room before he compares to the OC calling plays for a national title contender.

Would you take Morris at QB? At the beginning of the season who do you take on our offense versus theirs?

I’ll take Whittington all day. And if you think Riley and Dykes won’t take Worthy, you’re not thinking clearly.

I mean why not take their whole team. Chemistry works for them.

You’re crowing about recruiting wins? I guess that’s all we have to hang our hat on right now while we watch a bad coach take his team (from our conference) to the NC game.

Max Duggan, JJ McCarthy, and Stetson Bennett are 75% of the playoff field this year. Is there some reason Texas is one of the few schools that needs some legendary type of QB to win anything of significance?
