I am not a big fan of sark but nobody leaves Texas for another college gig. Generally speaking , not for an nfl gig either but sark allegedly looked and got passed over.

  • Quite a bit of gold from Page 1. Here's Steve's rebuttal:

  • I won’t have to. He’ll be forced out in 3-5 years.

  • Y'all are fucking pussies, and crying and blaming the coach because you're fucking idiot fuckfaces that have cognitive capacities similar to a fucking amoeba.  The fact is that Sark took a team w

If it's a joke, it sure isn't much of one.

The list of the hottest coaches today and coaches actually approached for jobs like Michigan and Penn State somehow didn't include genius and master strategist/motivator Steve Sarkesian.

Louisville’s Jeff Brohm
Oregon's Dan Lanning
Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham (locked up with new contract)
Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz
Washington’s Jedd Fisch
Alabama's Kalen Deboer
Indiana's Curt Cignetti (locked up with new contract)
Hell, even His Royal Whaleness, the Duke of Elko, appeared on wish lists for Michigan.

Apparently, not everyone in college football shares the opinion that Sarkesian is an ace-in-the-hole, cracker jack coach.

W-Why would he step DOWN from Texas to go to another program?

This isn’t Oregon. Or even Aggy. Where Penn St may be equal or Michigan a better job.

Texas is one of the top 3-5 jobs in college. And a lot say the top spot.

Like how is this a serious post? Of course no one came to him. He’d never leave for another college job. Wow what a dumb take.

I'm old enough to remember when handing off to the same TE went for a TD against the mighty national title contending fighting texas aggies.

Whew! I was worried they were all against our extra point holders. Let’s not worry then.

Oregon is an incredible job. Yet writers said, 'pay Dan Lanning whatever it takes' to make him take the Michigan job. Nobody wrote that about Sark.

So is Alabama, which is arguably a better job than Texas.
Yet Kalen Deboer had to make a public statement to get people to back off. Sark didn't have to make a statement because, well, there was no attempt to get him.

My point is that Sark never gets in any lists for hottest coach. None.

I think Sark is, at best, a mid-level coach who will produce mid-level results. Yet some of you seem perfectly fine with that.

Bro it’s 2026. Maybe you should resolve to not end up with a restraining order against you by Sark.

I’m on your side of the conversation regarding Sark. But bama is not a better job than Texas. We could buy that school and call it UTT

Pretty sure that was a "threat" from Sark to get the donors off his back about playcalling. He didnt want to give it up so he leaked to the NFL that he will leave.

They have been able to produce winners in football and basketball that greatly exceed anything we have done over the last 16 years. Perhaps they have better organization and cohesion on the highest levels that allows them to choose and support great coaches. Between Strong, Herman, Smart and Beard, we have been a mess, and that's being charitable. Currently, I would argue that it's a better job than UT.

Bama is a better football job because they have a good basketball team. Solid work.

Oates was the right coach for the moment for Bama.

That was Beard for us but he, not us, blew it up. Vic took a floundering program for a decade and a half into a perennial contender.

The right coach will come along. But Sark’s success (or failures) mean nothing for our basketball program.

lol Michigan didn’t interview Sark and then he beat their ass. Again. Great post.

Using the proof point that we won a meaningless exhibition game played by mostly scrubs while the 12-team playoffs are going on is quite a flex.

Yes, the Beard situation is unique for us, because he was a clearly a great coach, and he screwed it up. He doesn't belong in a list of mediocrity alongside Terry, Smart, Strong and Herman who all sucked beyond all comprehension.

Sark is better than those losers. But I don't see him winning a championship for Texas, and since that should be always the goal.

I guess it does need to be spelled out for you.

Oregon is indeed a great job, but is not considered a blue blood/prestigious program by the media. They are idiots. They don't understand the resources and advantages he has in Eugene. Anyone seriously mentioning Lanning to Michigan seriously doesn't understand CFB anymore.

There have been rumors and angst about DeBoer since literally Week 1 this year. Bama fans wanted him gone after FSU loss, way more so than the bitching from a dozen people on Surly about Sark. Personality wise, he is not an ideal fit at Alabama. If they would have lost to OU in 1st round of playoffs, it's possible Bama would have helped him pack for Ann Arbor.

It seems you have a rudimentary understanding of the college football landscape, maybe a good idea to just let this go.

You can continue to support Sark all you want, and I will continue to share the myriad of reasons why he's not good enough.

I'm actually not a hater. No one on this site has spent more time with the players, than I have and over the last four years, I have learned that they are amazing people. They deserve the best. So do the fans who are asked to contribute so much.

Folks, I am Not a hater, but I will continue to repeat my criticisms of Sark, over and over, while calling for a new coach

For his sake I hope it works out. Maybe tosu wins last night if hartline calls plays.

It may end up working out. Offense looked good last night but if this is the hill he wants to die on. Of course, he seems close to cdc so I’m sure he has assurances

It would be helpful if you started using legitimate reasons, instead of this ridiculous focus on the candidates for the Michigan job per the media.
