It’s funny cuz I met a bunch of Surlies in real life. all my pals.  I am not trying to date one, I have a BF and he is like an honorary surly. As far as attention I will never live down my non-sober years, and have been sober since 4/24/22. Drinking was my vice. I do gummies now and then and occasional pre-roll. I destroyed some of my life back then.
 
I root for sark. In this regard as a person. He also has enormous talent. And his demons have gotten in the way in the past at other places and that is not a rumor that is a fact. He sued USC when they fired him for being drunk saying he had a disability and they didn’t help him. All facts. 
 
all of this a matter of public record and it is not in dispute. 
I have heard from multiple people that I trust that he has NOT conquered his demons here at Texas whatsoever. This season and his slap dick approach to the offseason as well coincides with other places he has worked and had “issues.” He’s not a choir boy. He met L’Oreal before he was divorced. A good friend of mine who’s known her well over a decade advised her not to chase him at the time. He was married. She did anyway. All facts. 
 
No matter whether the rumors about L’Oréal or Sark are being unfaithful to each other outside their marriage multiple names have been brought up on both sides and some connected to our fucking team. Does that sound professional and or winning a MNC to you? 
 
If you do not think the above has any bearing on our win loss record or recruiting or evaluating talent cool. That fine. But I think if you also knew with your own eyes this shit to be true you would absolutely agree it has an affect on everything that a HC would do. 
 
It’s not about someone who drinks this is someone who considers himself a recovering alcoholic in his own words and he cannot drink. And when he does he loses his jobs. In the past. 
 
no one has to believe any of the above ever at all. It’s been told to you so you don’t get blindsided if major changes are made and he is gone or he stays and major changes are forced on his ass. That’s the reality. Like it or don’t like it your choice. 

So Sark is fucking a player?

I'm several pages behind but wanted to comment before my ADHD turns me in another direction.

It sucks that we've got a down year.

It sucks that Sark has some obvious flaws.

It's pretty awesome that aside from those flaws, he's a darn good coach.

It's pretty awesome that there are hardly any coaches we would consider taking ahead of him. Not saying there are none, but that circle is VERY small. At least as far as I'm concerned.

Sark is young and has room to grow and learn. As long as he hasn't done something tremendously dumb off the field, he'll be coaching again next year. FOR the Longhorns.

I applied for a job as a helpdesk guy at L'Oréal-owned building about 25 years ago. I wanted that job so fucking bad. You have no idea the amount of college age 8's, 9's and 10's walking around that facility. They probably said "no" because my tongue never rolled back into my mouth.

Texas has averaged, AVERAGED 28 yards rush.. per game, in the last 3 match ups against Georgia.

28 yard per game average. (Today took the average down)

Not 28 yards a quarter or half. 

28 per game average.

With a running attack that prolific, we're sure to attract the best RB recruits in the nation

Arkansas may drop 40 on us and there’s no coming back from a loss on Saturday. Many have heard a decision has already been made. Night crew also knows CDC would not move if the next guy isn’t lined up already, and it’s doubtful someone is lined up. Sounds like we’re in some real pretty shit right now.

I’ve read this three times and concluded it makes no sense whatsoever. I have no idea what you were trying to say.

So how dare you besmirch the good name of LSU's future HC. He's had 4 seasons of 10+ wins in the SEC. Don't bother looking at his OOC opponents. No need for that. 

Lane is 15-14 in the grind that is the SEC. 

He's not mid, at all.

Nope Lane is 5-4 in bowl game wins and Sark is 4-5 with 2 of those coming last year. Lane has never even won a Holiday bowl, much less 2 of them. Both over blue blood Nebraska in 2010 and 2014 at Washington and USC respectively.

I cannot answer that. Ole Miss seems to really want to keep him. When has he won  a major game as a HC though? A big one? Has he bested the best coaches? Sark has bested some damn fine coaches but with other good HCs  he is their bitch. 

Kiffin is a desirable HC candidate to some people simply because of his personality, not because of what his teams have actually done on the field. The guy has never won a championship or even played for a conference title at any point in his career as a HC.

The career mirroring between Sark and Kiffin is pretty wild. Sark has the 1 BiG XII title and 1 SEC appearance above Lane but otherwise, they are remarkably similar with a nod of success going toward Sark outside this year. Those that want to keep Sark and hope for change, fine. Those that want him fired and replaced by Lane baffle my logic buttons.

You will get no argument from me. Dude isn't seeing what his guys are capable of bad or good. 

It's weird though. 

With the exception of the OL, most of our touted players like Wingo, even Arch, flash some serious potential.  And sometimes they even come around like Worthy, and Arch.  Worthy got a raft of shit on here for the better part of a year.

It's not quite the same animal, I don't think, as Mack's highly touted recruits that just disappeared or busted.  Or Herman's.

I have been saying for a couple of years now, it's like he overestimates what his players can routinely do.  And you're saying it too.

I've asked myself "well is it really just that his player suck?" and the answer to that is mostly no, I think.

There's some kind of weird disconnect there.

He won C-USA in in 2017 and 2019. He hasnt won at Ole Miss, but they have not won the SEC since 1963. I have 0 expectations he is coming to Texas or that Sark is leaving but lets at least be honest about his resume.

Lol.. you do know Kiffin also coached at USC and Washington is essentially equivalent to resources, history and success as Old Miss.

Career: 116-53 .686

Tennessee 2009 7-6 .538 (Kiffin Stepped in after the massive mess Fulmer left and still got them to a bowl game)

LANE: USC 2010–2013 28-15 .651

(SARK: USC 12 wins and 6 losses .667 winning percentage)

Florida Atlantic 2017–2019 26-13 .667

Lane at Ole Miss 2020–present 55-19 .743

Sark at Texas (2021–present): 45 wins and 20 losses (.692 winning percentage as of November 2025) 

Sark has 4 bowl wins: Holiday bowl vs Nebraska x 2, Clemson and ASU.

Loses: Baylor, Boise State, Washington, Washington, OSU

Lane has 5 bowl wins: Akron, UAB, Indiana, PSU, Syracuse 

Losses: VT, GT, Baylor, Texas Tech

Lane's record is pretty fucking mid and if Texas is getting a new HC, I have no interest in another mid.

Because C-USA championships are what every HC wants as their hallmark achievement after having multiple HC stints at the power conference level like Lane has had.

i think he has a pretty solid floor. I like him as a college offensive mind over Sark. I think he would win 10 games pretty regularly at Texas, not sure a see him ripping off NCs. He would be fun though. Not sure how you look at FAU and say he was mid there. This is not a case of winning at Houston, where you are the biggest fish in a small puddle.

Ill reiterate that I do not think Texas is changing coaches this year, because if I dont someone will pretend i am calling for Lane.

I put out the career stats on the last page of both in stats, put up the bowl records, and put up his time at Ole Miss vs Sark at Texas. 

The results are remarkably similar. Neither has won an SEC title. They have a total of 3 conference championships between them. They are both close to .500 in bowls. They both have some big wins and inexcusable losses to subpar teams. They both seem to lose in the biggest games they play.

They truly are mirrors of one another in career metrics.

Want to read those metrics and come to the opinion that Lane has a lower floor, I will acknowledge I can see why you come to that conclusion. However, I would counter with they do appear, based on all measurable data, to have a similar ceiling.

I think that is a mistake. Comparing Ole Miss to Texas should insult you as a Texas fan. The expectation and resources are different at both schools. None of it means Kiffin would rip off 4 NCs, but lets not pretend winning 10 games at Texas is the same as winning 10 games at Ole Miss.

Who'd be in your Top 5?

I'd enjoy having Kiffin for the trolling and snark alone. But, I also think he's a better offensive mind and game day coach than Sark is, too. Just my opinion. Plus, think of how much harder it is to build a program at Ole Miss vs Texas.
