The blueprint to be a great coach? Yeah I don’t know why all the other programs bailed on the seminar it was only 999.99.

Or maybe being both a HC and an OC isn’t the way. But now he’s effectively a quasi HC who will only have to deaL with one side of the ball and never ever have to listen to the defensive headset and he can solely focus on his play calling.

Muschamp is more than capable of handling shit for defense.

I’m convinced he keeps boobs like Harris and Flood around to have a fall guy or two for when his way fails. Always some excuse that isn’t the fact that so far his way don’t work.

If Flood and Harris are still here in year 7 and we still haven’t had a semi final win what will the excuse be then? Intelligent fans question what went on behind the scenes this year bc we know it’s more than just X’s and O’s.

If sark were laser focused on being a HC we absolutely would have won with Ewers. And again with Arch. As long as he continues to do things his way he will always meet better opponents bc those HC’s are focused on being a HC and the entire team not just their playbook and pawning shit off to a less than competent staff. Now there is so much parity Sark cannot merely out athlete the top P4 teams anymore.

He might try looking in the mirror and making some real changes that actually might get him the trophy. But he has like an addict’s personality in my opinion. I don’t mean he’s using I mean he’s got an excuse for everything and there is always someone or something to blame. He’s been given a lot of latitude and a lot of money and results in year six should be expected of him. Unless the ones not expecting us to win it all are braindead.

Mario fucking Cristobal made it to the championship game. At Miami. Before sark. With Beck as his qb.

Yeah well good for him.

Interesting also that if Cignetti makes it to the natty it would be year 2 at Indiana of all places and if Oregon wins then Lanning would make it in his 4th year while being 39 years old.

He's had virtually unlimited resource to do it. He's also doesn't get a fucking pass for the first 2 years where he sucked absolute dogshit.

Our "unlimited resources" sure as hell show pretty big fucking limits when it comes time to compete for top talent.

SEC Mike is a douche. Dave Bartoo is the guy that’s quoted. He runs the CFB Matrix analytics site that has some system for evaluating coaches.

Yeah, but Sark was in a completely different situation in his first two season. He inherited a bad roster, his players weren't experienced, he was in a tougher conference, the school wasn't ready to spend, the portal was different, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 😆

Fair or not, Cignetti has re-set the bar for expectations. You're either smart enough to take advantage of the current system or it's taking advantage of you.

This season and the aftermath has been a mess for Sark. Your offense sucked because...you had to be charge of the defense? Okay, got it.

The verdict is still out on him, but thanks to people like Cignetti, he is pretty much out of excuses. So are a lot of other coaches.

And as someone who makes a shit-ton of money and has some of the deepest resources in the game, he sure better produce next year, or stakeholders have every right to question whether he is the person.

Miami beat down two one loss SEC teams in the playoffs, and added THEE Ohio State in between. Maybe they can focus? Maybe they would be undefeated playing in the overrated secsecsec?

"Beat down" is a bit strong. I agree that Miami is an excellent team, but let's not overstate things.

Texas vs. A&M was 27-17. Miami vs. A&M was 10-3. You called the Aggies a "one less SEC team" but let's be real - they were not that great, certainly no better than Texas. And A&M took Miami down to the wire, while our game was effectively over halfway through the 4th. Miami's win over Ole Miss was awesome - just an amazing football game. But it was not a "beat down." There were 5 lead changes in the 4th quarter. That was an even match up. OSU is another quality win, but how quality? OSU only beat Texas by 7, and it was playing the "early 2025" version of Texas where Manning couldn't complete a 10 yard pass.

I'm not saying Miami isn't a great team. Maybe you're right and they would have done better in the SEC than they did in the ACC. But the facts you're using to support that assumption are specious.

Yeah well same resources David McWilliams, John Mackovic, Charlie Strong, and Tom Herman had.

Sark and Mack are the two best guys we have had in the past 40 years. This claim that anybody could do well here due to our resources is just false. We have had many people fail miserably with our resources. I am not going to take the last three years for granted. Could somebody else do better? Probably but we know for damn sure other people can do far worse.

Except not.

Texas is allowed to pay players just as much as all the other teams can now. Under those coaches you listed, we did not.

this is exactly the kind of chicken shit mentality that has always kept us from having a program like osu, bama, goergia. They aren't afraid to win and do what it takes to win. Our fans are pussies too terrified that the next guy may be worse so we should all be happy with good but not good enough.

We are fucking pathetic.

Next year will be no different, and fans like this guy will still be telling us "omg you should be happy, remember the last two!!??". I don't know why I ever get my hopes up that we'll change. We never will.

Yes it matters. Getting to cruise through a shit conference. Your players stay healthier. Less chance for losses.

Hahahahahaa. Two years.

That’s how long it took to have UT fans sounding like Liucci. The results on the field in a competitive tournament don’t matter, just the hrrrr-drrrr week-in-week-out grind of SECX3. Any SECX3 team is magically better than anyone else, and the only reason those other teams can win is because:

1) Week-in-week out grind beat up the SECX3 teams.

2) SECX3 didn’t want to be there.

If any full-strength SECX3 team were to play in any other conference, they’d sweep the conference and the playoffs. It’s science.

Now explain why Indiana and Oregon would have 3-4 losses in the SECX3. I’m sure you can. Same logic. Or any of the other 8 P4 teams that beat SECX3 teams in this postseason.

Are we talking about Indiana or Oregon? What I AM saying is a team capable of losing to Pitt and SMU is capable of losing to any team with a pulse. So it's simple logic that the more capable teams you put on their schedule, the higher percentage you lose more games due to lack of focus. You know, kinda like we did. What does Indiana and Oregon have to do with that?

The ACC is not a good conference. Not sure why that's up for debate. This is who Miami had on their schedule.

FSU- beat Bama first game of the season when Bama was trying to git it's shit together but then had Florida hang 40 on them last game

Stanford- lost to Hawaii and scored aggy(three points) vs BYU in a loss.

SMU- lost to TCU and Baylor

Syracuse- lost to Tenn and had ND score 70 on them.

NC State- lost to ND.

V-Tech lost to South Carolina, Vandy, and OLD DOMINION for fucks sake.

Pitt lost to West Virginia and ND.

I'm no SEC stan at all, but let's not act like the Big12 and ACC are on the same level as the B1G and SEC.

Yes because they are all complacent pussies who never demand coaching changes. The previous 291 pages of this thread are evidence of this.

I don't care for the ACC at all. But to claim Miami would have multiple losses in the SEC is ludicrous this year, when the only objective evidence we have is that the SEC fared abysmally against OOC competition, regular season and post. I'm absolutely not a UM fan, but any team can lose on any given Saturday. UT-UF, for example. I also think it's ridiculous that they lost to SMU and Louisville. But look at SEC OOC losses. Plenty of equal claims can be made about any SEC team this year except Georgia and, maybe, UT, although the UF loss was a bad loss.

We should fire Sark and offer Cignetti 15 million a year

Nah, fuck that. That's loser talk. If we're going all in we need to go get Saban, Cignetti, and pay Kirby's buyout so he'll be our DC. If we're going big, we might as well let a mule like our assholes.

Don't quote me on last line. I'm paraphrasing.

I was already waiting for you to say that and had the stats ready-

This is how the teams we played fared OOC.

Florida lost to Miami but beat FSU

OU beat Michigan

Kentucky lost to Louisville

Miss St beat Arizona State

Vandy beat V tech

Pig lost to Memphis and ND

aggy beat ND

Now go back and look at Miami's opponents and it's no comparison.

Yeah, it's called schrodinger's roster. Maybe it's scrotumger's roster now. It's all muledick.

What do we first do as Texas fans. We covet.

to add on-

I posted this in the game thread awhile ago, but you cannot look at bowl matchups as evidence of which conference is better any longer. With NFL opt outs, the portal, and skewed records in bowls it's all shit. Why is 5-7 quarterbackless Miss St playing 8-4 Wake in a bowl? Last year Cam Ward refused to play the second half in a bowl they were winning at half. They lost. The only measure is in season cross-conference matchups.

Let me make this clear. I think Miami is a really good team. They have solid QB play. Great line play. Physical backs. An absolute baller on the outside and a solid D. That said they lack focus from top to bottom. Last night I watched a team come out getting 8 yards a carry and then forget that they couldn't be stopped in the run game for 2 quarters even though the few times they went back to it it still worked the same. I watched a team pile up penalties. I watched a team drop 4 interceptions. I watched a team that did everything they could to lose that football game yet still win.

I thought to myself, I see now how they lost to SMU and Louisville. You are also going to get a few inexplicable Carson Beck games that you have to overcome too. Indiana and Oregon are not those types of teams out there undisciplined and shooting themselves in the foot all game. Miami is. They've been like that under Cristobal, so I am confident they would have a few games where the stars aligned and all their bullshit added up to a loss.
