Can you remind me who did this?

If that had happened here, Surly would've been looking for reasons to send Freeman home on the spot.

IDK if Sark will rally from this loss or this season. But based on on field performance, I think he should get next year to prove it. Another bad loss next year with no playoffs? Send his ass packing.

Marcus Freeman.

You are funny as hell. Well done. Although.::maybe Marcus Freeman and Desmond are working together to get him the UT job and swap Sark to ND? Right? That’s probably what you mean?

Just so we're all clear, surly wants to lose the next two games, right?

I want these guys to ball fucking hard and do whatever the fuck they want.

ND played in the title game the same year they lost to Northern Illinois, so it’s understandable that Freeman was forgiven by ND fans.

You can get away with a lot of stuff as long as you're winning.

To be fair he was fired because he bailed on the team jet and was caught out and clearly not taking his NFL job seriously.

Some of you are continuing to make this way more complicated than it actually is. Just ask yourself the following question:

 

Do you think the next five years of Texas football will be better under Sark or one of a handful of elite alternatives? That is all that matters right now. That is the discussion happening high up around the program. We have what we need to unquestionably burn Sark's career probably forever to the ground and fire him for cause if we want to pull that lever. Doesn't mean we should or that we want to.. but it gives us options. It gives people who have put tens of millions into the program and will be asked to do more of the same some very difficult but intriguing options to consider. 

If we knew the next few years of Texas football were going to be as good as the past few this wouldn't be a debate. Unfortunately we have an addict running our program who cannot keep his dick in his pants. He is a walking red flag. The specifics of what has happened are mostly irrelevant and people should probably just shut the fuck up about it. It doesn't benefit anyone to put it out all out there. Not unless the decision is made to move on and that certainly hasn't been decided yet. I'm not even saying it is likely. Only that it is being considered. At basically any point some things that are outside our control could derail the program and turn it into a radioactive situation. At the same time if Sark stays and does make another deep playoff run the chances of him immediately bolting to the NFL are extremely high no matter how much he rants at the media. So the debate isn't even really "Next five years of Sark vs five years under alternative". It is that but with the caveat that if Sark has the kind of seasons we believe he SHOULD at Texas... he is probably gone anyway. There just is no easy answer. 

Making all this more complicated is how fucking great the timing would be to make a coaching change. I've seen some just truly clueless fans say the opposite. That they think this cycle is a circus and would be a bad time to replace Sark. Those people couldn't be more wrong. There are maybe three coaches in the entire sport that we could not get right now (assuming we handled Sark's dismissal cleanly enough). We are in a surreal situation where just about everyone out there is open to moving. Even guys you would think are absolutely off the table are privately open to new opportunities. You think Day is suddenly happy at Ohio State after they literally tried to fire him this time last year? If Vraebal had given them a yes Day would have been out before their playoff run even began. He knows it. His agent knows it. His family knows it. That shit doesn't get better just because some boosters who were trying to bury you suddenly start talking a bit nicer. Guys like that look at Texas where 1-2 conference championships a decade is basically all you need to keep fans mostly happy, where just relevancy rather than titles is the expectation.... 

TLDR Stop getting caught up in the bullshit drama. It is irrelevant beyond the fact that it gives us the option of replacing Sark and not owing him a penny. It would give us more than enough justification to make any change we wanted to make without public backlash. The only thing that matters is whether certain people ultimately decide that we would be better off with someone other than Sark and if they do.. he is gone. Doesn't really matter what he thinks. THAT is the reality that Desmond Howard was speaking about when he made his comments.

He was not the same after the Zach Smith domestic abuse scandal.

Just the way he is saying that Sark yesterday left no doubt he is staying at Texas. 

It kinda blows my mind how literally some people take these kinds of statements. In these kinds of situations, parties on both sides are told to say all kinds of things by their agents/lawyers/etc because they need to check boxes x, y, and z for contractual / legal reasons. Then the dumbasses freak out. "Did you hear that?! Corch says he ain't goin' nowhere" and "AD says he's a hunnert per cent committed to Corch!!1! That's it. He's stayin'"

And yeah, E Hogan is a fucking unlistenable beating. He's one of the reasons I stopped listening to sports talk radio years and years ago. They don't know shit, and their shit's all regarded.

Since we're talking about replacements & shit, & the Freshwater chicken has been fucked to death, I really like a guy like Cignetti, who clearly knows how to get the most of the talent he has on hand.

Now, there's a decent chance that I'm a moron. Exhibit A: I post here. But if I'm wrong (or right) about Cignetti, I'd love to hear the reasons why, and I'm sure there are numerous people here that know much more about him than I do. Also, IIRC he just re-upped recently, so he might be a hard get even if we wanted to go that direction, so who are some other guys that might have similar attributes?

Yeah but if he was at Texas he would have more resources and better players, like the best rb in the country for instance. He damn sure wouldn’t lose to Ohio….well…shit.
