3 hours ago3 hr There is zero doubt in my mind that Arch Manning would be the #1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft.Every scout sees his instincts in the pocket and are salivating. The guy is big and fast and strong as fuck. And the ultimate competitor. NFL teams would move mountains to get him. And he's the starting QB at the University of Texas next year. That alone is every reason to want Sark as the HC.
3 hours ago3 hr Author 1 hour ago, blutow said:I wouldn't say Alabama is a better job than Texas, but it's at least in the discussion.And maybe I'm taking crazy pills, but wasn't Sark on the short list as a successor to Saban less than 2 years ago? And that was before Sark had his 2nd playoff appearance and almost made the playoffs this year. I'm sure part of that was leveraging the media to lock in more $, but all these guys play that game. Putting Sark's name out for any of the HC openings this year would have been silly. I guess Michigan could be seen as a somewhat lateral move, but who in their right mind would think Sark would leave Texas for Michigan when he's got things rolling here?Stupid fans will be stupid fans. I'm sure a good portion of the OSU fans want Ryan Day's head this morning just like they wanted him fired last year after he lost to a crappy Michigan team (you know, right before they won the NC). And people will want Sark fired any year he doesn't win the NC. Par for the course at any top tier program, grass is always greener until you actually take a close look at someone else's grass. Doesn't make it less stupid, just the way it is.I don't know if Sark is the guy to bring the next NC to Texas or not, but I'm not sure there is another coach I'd swap for right now. The guy had us within one play of making the NC game each of the last 2 years and almost had us in the playoffs this year. That's a long way from walking through the desert with Herman, Strong, Mackovic, and McWilliams.I don’t think Sark needs to be fired for losing to UGA or tOSU (although @Thatguy makes a compelling argument that Sark has been behind vs those teams from a coaching standpoint even when we’ve been fucking loaded with talent)…Hell, I didn’t think Sark should be fired before we played Michigan.I DO think it’s likely you need to hold the guy’s feet to the fire constantly or you’ll get the inexplicable losses like the 2025 Florida game or the 2023 come from ahead loss to OU. Also, I think he needs more help with roster management, but that’s a wild wild world. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by lilMAC25
3 hours ago3 hr I am very happy with the way we ended the season with wins against Aggy and Michigan but I am also unhappy with the way Sark managed this year's roster. He went into cruise control mode after making the playoffs two years in a row, and that manifested early in the year. Having said that when I think about the decade before our first playoff appearance, I am thankful to be in this position. I really hope he gets our OL fixed, either by talent acquisition or better coaching because if we can give Arch time, he can be deadly and win us a few close games.Happy new year!

Mistakes were made this season but to want to fire a coach after a down year of three losses and finishing ranked top 10 possibly is crazy. The list of active coaches that don’t have that level of a down year occasionally is how long, 2-3 names? The list of replacements that would be close to guaranteed success is how long? How about we see what happens the next couple years before we bet on a smooth, no drop off coaching change.I care who the coach is. No fucking visors on my sideline motherfuckers.

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.

3 hours ago3 hr 3 hours ago, Drew said: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.Penn St isn't even close to equal to Texas. The only CFB jobs even in the same universe are Bama, UGA, Ohio State, USC, Michigan, ou, ND. Those are equals. So basically just blue blood programs. I may even throw LSU in there for tgeir recent success. 2 hours ago, Js1 said:Bro it’s 2026. Maybe you should resolve to not end up with a restraining order against you by Sark.Listen to this man.

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.Vic absolutely came in and crushed it in a matter of 6 seasons we've had 3 Big XII titles, three elite eight appearances, went to the final four last season, won the players era tournament this November against other top ranked teams, we're undefeated and #2 in the country at 15-0, we have the #1 2026 recruiting class, #1 class in 2025., #3 class in 2024, top 10 class in 2023, and five consecutive top 10 classes since 2020. He's done more than any coach at Texas in recruiting. He's the real deal. 1 hour ago, BlackCat said:A lot of yall seem to be much easier to please than me. This season was a massive disappointment and a gross waste of money and resources in my book. We simply werent ready to go when the season started and by the time Sark got things under control it was too late. Years of work went into getting us into a position to compete for championships and in this era that extends well outside the locker room. I like a lot of the things Sark has done, but this season turned me against him. He fucked around and it caused us to miss a playoff we absolutely should be in. For everything he is being given, this season wasn't nearly good enough.I'm with you 100%. We need to do better. 1 hour ago, Thatguy said:In my opinion Sark went wrong in two areas. First, PK has largely been a disappointment. His defenses were somewhat solid but just not quite good enough to get over the hump. What I mean is that everytime we got into a high level game his defense was the lesser of the two. Last year both times vs Georgia and against Ohio State the opposition's defense played better. Same goes for OU and Washington in 23.Secondly, our interior O-line has been an issue since he got here. He just never fixed it. It started because Bijan and Roschon covered it up, then to a large extent so did Brooks. He just never tried to upgrade from Majors, Conner, and Hutson.Agree, but I'll also add Sark fucked up not making Wisner the #2 RB behind Clark. That's some dumb ass Mack Brown loyalty shit. Play the best players, not what they did the year before . If a player loses tgeir spot, so be it. Whatever makes the team better. He should have also played Lockett more than 3 games, too. He fucked up. That's why we're not in the CFP, and I believe that's why he's now a pissed off man. No one is safe, except maybe Flood, but I'm hoping he gets canned by mid Jan, but that's hope. He's a liability and a shitty recruiter. 47 minutes ago, Armybrat said:Some of you guys would’ve called for DKR’s firing after the ‘61 season.

Muschamp will be a significant upgrade.

But his offense has underproduced and his goto is to fire PK? I think one can question his integrity on that. Some humility. There’s also the whole sue usc because I’m a n alcoholic thing.All that being said, he’s making changes quick so maybe he takes us to the promised land soon.He’s an interesting guy. I think he has impressed people with his intelligence his whole life. There’s a reason he was treated as a coaching phenom at a young age. I’ve talked to him twice and both times I thought he was just a cool dude. He handles the donors really well from what I can tell. He just has some serious personal demons, not uncommon for really smart people. I don’t dislike him at all, he’s just not who I want steering this behemoth of a program. Hopefully he got some stuff out of his system, I wouldn’t bet on it though.

1 hour ago1 hr At this point, Sark is James Franklin. He (usually) beats teams when he has a talent advantage and loses when he doesn't. If he keeps doing what he's been doing, he'll win a ton of games and (probably) never win a championship. He's good enough to beat Venables and Elko regularly and that'll buy him a lot of time and good will. Eventually, though, he's got to beat teams like Georgia and OSU. He hasn't been good enough to do that so far and I suspect won't be as long as he's the OC.
