Of all the plausible explanations for the stuff that a handful of us seem to know that’s been going on since last year this would be the most preferable scenario. You either have a massive smear campaign (all untrue and trust me it is not all untrue) or no one wanted to pull the trigger until playoff hopes were effectively DOA. 
 

people can get mad at me, mad at others, mad at Desmond, mad at the fire coming out of Orange Bloods. This shit has been brewing long before Dianna’s driveby hit piece. These people aren’t just floating loony shit to take down sark so UT cannot have nice things. Don’t like it…fine. But it’s not just Desmond. People know things. Any time someone posts something, y’all immediately discredit them. There is a lot of smoke around this season and acting like Sark has nada to do with it is like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand bc you want to pretend things are A-ok and all will be fixed in the offseason. If remotely any of what I know all year long to be true is in fact all true he’s fucked. And we will be lucky to get out of this without looking like a literal laughingstock’s horse’s ass, also damn the new season of Landman does not disappoint. One of the best characters created since Breaking Bad in BBT.

Pretty much, but if you scan several message boards, you will find that some of the “so-called” insiders think there “might” be a little smoke……enough to explain the reactions you’re seeing here.  Could be anything though.  Could be other programs trying to affect recruiting and portal targets.  Who knows (other than Nicole of course ; )

Thanks. I wasn't trying to discredit anyone; I was just trying get to the bottom of the conversation.

Also, the "new media" sphere of Twatter, etc. has to be confounding for someone whose job requires "image management" with the press and public.

CDC can't credibly respond to every rumor that pops up on Twatter or Reddit or whatever.  It's an impossible task for starts and would lend credibility when it's not deserved.

I don't think Desmond Howard is particularly credible, but maybe him repeating a rumor that started with another journo, whatsherface, puts it above CDCs threshold.

 

CDC is in a Catch 22 situation.   He denies it repeatedly, the is fire is atomic level because usually denials by AD’s this time of  the year are followed up with the exact opposite days or weeks later.   If he doesn’t deny it daily or whenever he’s in front of the media, then the rumors and speculation grow legs of their own and go down rabbit holes.   This is where we are at now now.   The starting line of going down rabbit holes.

I just feel bad for him and the players. That’s all I’m going to say. If he does indeed leave, I think we need to just take a chance with Jeff Traylor. He knows Texas recruiting and recruited a lot of the dogs on Charlie’s teams. He can identify talent. I’m confident with CDC’s help, he can handle the pressure of this job. But I’m getting ahead of myself…..

Traylor is borderline regarded.

The stuff being talked about hurts more people than just sark and his wife. People don’t want to put it in print. So our best hope is there is some kind of plan where we don’t wind up looking like a horse’s asshole. Don’t have a clue what that is. Rumblings before the season among those with power have become roars according to my BMD and they feel it is related and directly responsible for our games being nearly unwatchable this season. Will he get a chance to make changes? I don’t know. But if he doesn’t. Best believe there is a damned good reason. Because with the success he had the previous two years it would seem automatic even with the failures of this season. If he doesn’t it’s because the powers that be think the off the field shit is connected to the on the field shit and they see no way he can fix it. Jmo. I am trying to connect the dots from what I know and stuff above my paygrade. And guessing at what the people above said paygrade might do. 

And CDC has always done a good job of limiting damage in these scenarios.

Herman to Sark was a day of hiring/firing to minimize negativity and maximize publicity as Alabama was in the CFP. 

Shaka to Beard was a week officially but that was only to minimize buyout paid to Tech, 

Peirce to Schloss was a 24 hour transition. 

Terry to Miller was a day of fire and hire. 

If this needs to be quick it will be quick and I assume it will be on Sunday after thanksgiving if needed. If things can be kept under wraps I assume we are in mid to late December,

Sark is a meathead regard and bad things have been happening in his personal life that have been swept under the rug, but now that Texas is not doing great people are taking out all the furniture and shaking out the rugs, and there may be some stuff under the rug.

Chances are this shit has been gossiped about and people in that world are like “what will the powers at Texas do if Texas doesn’t make the playoffs?” And they all discussed it off the record. Lose to Arkansas and you will see Thamel and others chiming in and probably cryptically unless they want to get people on the record for the shit. I guess?!? 

The servers on this site and other message boards better have some back up.   Because if we lose the Arky game this fan base will be as pissed as many of us have ever seen it, at least  in this media age.     It might be Route 66 level pissed off.    Johnny Mack was done and dead man walking after that and he still had nine or ten games to play after that.   Sark may only have one.

Why not? I consider y’all my family for better or worse that got me through a terrible time losing my cousin, my uncle and my aunt in quick succession and rebounding from a painful divorce. I want you guys to know what I heard and draw your own conclusions. It’s the stuff I learned in the last 24 hours which makes Sark’s employment in peril. 
 

I knew a lot of this shit since January and never told a fucking soul outside my BF and he don’t post or share shit. It was to my surprise to find out quite a few others knew the same or similar things. Which means it’s a secret but not a secret. That means the mess is known to a few people and it is those people who put it out there well before I ever mentioned it. 
 

I’m not heartless trying to share what I can. Which is a futile effort. If sark and UT mutually part ways or he is fired it is not because a poster or a board or rumors took him down. He torpedoed himself. He took himself down.
 

So be mad at his ass I guess? Or stop worshipping him? Or stop seeing your own path thru his path or some shit?

This. And if the stuff under the rug is true the people in charge have a plan in place to minimize the damage.

It's actually quite easy.  Internalize successes and externalize failures.  Psych 101.  If the Horns win it's, "WE'RE awesome".  And if we lose it's "That Sark guy sucks".

So either way, no skin off my back.

Spamming the board with nudes of @Derka would probably get the job done.  Thankfully, only @Nicole44 has those, and she seems to exercise reasonable restraint these days.

him fixing the staff isssues seems like the best and fastest fix but if he's gone for whatever reason i really don't care.  he wasted some truly talented teams and this year we're seeing what he can do with less than nfl talent across the board.

Some of that’s football 101. People blaming or defending the HC has gone on long before we were born. Except @Armybrat because he witnessed the Declaration of Independence. So there is that. And we should look into why he is still posting among us. If the off the field shit is related to the on the field shit the powers that be will decide Sark’s fate and if it all gets reported on surly will have a thread about how “whatever happened it didn’t justify a firing” aka Chris Beard bullshit. It’s out of our hands whatever happens. So my point is, if you don’t like it, blame Sark. Losing is not why there is smoke all around Sark. Sark’s behavior and actions are why. It is 💯 on him, period. End of sentence. If people can’t put the onus on him if it all spills out than that’s a “them” problem. Where nothing justifies canning a coach or “parting ways.”

You can check for yourself. I also don't show any blips on my end or in Google analytics or anything that measures traffic?

Georgia buttfucked Sark so hard on national television approximately 25% of our living alumni now have PTSD. I'm sure your efforts to get on surly were a fever dream.

Sure. If he leaves, it won't upset me. He has a ceiling that I don't think he can get beyond. I don't see him winning the playoff given his record against Smart and Day. But I think short of a massacre at the hands of Arkansas that he'll be back and allowed to change out his staff. We'll be back here eventually unless the staffing changes work out. That's how the crapshoot of picking a head coach works out at Texas.

"You guys were shocked when LSU opened up..." - Desmond Howard in that IG video re: Sark

Don't mistake how fucking clueless this guy is. 

Again, maybe Sark is gone at the end of the year, I don't know. I'm just saying, don't put any stock in what Desmond Howard has to say.

No because Pete Thamel has credibility and really good sources. He's not throwing shit out while taking out the garbage on Instagram. 

I mean, didn’t he do EXACTLY that way back in the day with the DT that chose OU over us? 
 

maybe I’m mixing him up with another reporter.

Yes it’s all a conspiracy that ONLY started with Dianna Russini making up some bullshit and everyone is just piling on. Why not? It’s 2025. If we learned nothing from the last decade it’s “choose the reality you want not the reality that is.” Or something. 

my post was a joke about Desmond being a fucking lamp post on the ESPN set and somebody asking why does he exist...

Getting this thread back on track a bit, there aren't enough Jerry's out there for an NFL team to really want this guy as an OC.  They tried that once and he made the offense much worse and was fired.  Throughout his career, he's had mediocre offenses, including his time here.  He is not some offensive savant.  He comes up with some cool plays.  That's not an offense.  He's a pretty shitty OC at this point.  

So if there's no real NFL escape hatch, he's staying here for a while.

Strong order.  I prefer the fried fish but each his own.  Also, you have to get a cheese filled jalapeno.  Also, the LuAnn platter is never enough food, that's for grannies.
