So, it's weird... If you look back at Sark's career, I'm pretty sure he is a run heavy play caller, because it sets up the big PA plays.

So give him two NFL RBs and a freshman QB, and he seems pass happy.

Granted, we would have scored a bit more if half the drops weren't drops.

I'm not sure Sark is the guy, but I do think he's trending on the right direction. 

Some people don't have any patience and think we're something we've never been in my lifetime outside of 5 years of high level talent at almost every position, most importantly, QB.

Since Colt, we've had Cleveland Browns level success at finding a QB and an Offensive philosophy.

Trying to correlate run and pass splits with winning is flawed logic, as pointed out above.

We had to throw the ball 19 times in the 4th quarter against Washington because we were freaking down 17 points. 40% of our passing attempts came in one quarter. Same thing against OSU. 15 of Ewers’ 49 attempts came in the final 8 minutes of the game when we HAD to throw the ball. Same against TCU, he was at 29 attempts when we got down 2 scores and had to throw the ball in the 4th quarter.

When you are winning a game, you typically run the ball more late, inflating your run totals. That is how football works.

IMO the game wasn't out of reach enough to warrant damn near 50 passes. We never even tried to run really after the first half

HC - Sarkisian

OC - Sarkisian

Total - 1 

or should we go to:

HC - Sarkisian

OC - Riley Minor

Total - 2

Naaah, we don't need a separate OC. We've got a renowned QB whisperer, who has clearly trained and conditioned 2 years' worth of QBs. Can't wait to see what he can do with Maalik. Or the kid from NO.

Wait wait wait wait...............please tell me that someone from B A Y L O R  is criticizing a head coach at Texas for culture.

"The murder of Patrick Dennehy, an American college basketball player for Baylor University, occurred on June 12, 2003, when he was shot by Baylor teammate Carlton Dotson.[1] The murder set off a chain of events which led to the Baylor basketball scandal, in which the university's men's basketball program was investigated and punished for numerous infractions by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)." 

 

"The Baylor University sexual assault scandal was the result of numerous allegations of and convictions for sexual and non-sexual assaults committed by Baylor University students, mostly players in the Baylor Bears football team. During a period from about 2012 to 2016, school officials suppressed reports of rapes and sexual misconduct.  In 2016, Baylor's football team came under fire when it was revealed university officials had failed to take action regarding the alleged rapes and assaults. The scandal led to the ousting of head football coach Art Briles, the demotion and eventual resignation of Baylor president Ken Starr, the resignation of athletic director Ian McCaw, and the firing of two others connected with the football program."

The fact that he (1) sued USC claiming they violated the Americans with Disabilities Act for firing him because he was coaching drunk and (2) never dropped the case, even years later when he was sober, and hung in until he finally lost the suit (obvious outcome, btw) make me think he’s actually still not a very good guy, nor a very realistic one, no matter how affable he is and no matter how much people say he was a different guy at Washington/USC.   He apparently has surface charm, but I’d be leery of the look under the hood with him.
There are actually lots of little things with him that you could probably say are petty but that make me raise eyebrows. I remember at one of his introductory conferences when we hired him he claimed he had a 1,000 rusher every year he had been a head coach or offensive coordinator.  That was blatantly false - there was more than one year at USC when he didn’t.  At the time everyone jumped on me for picking nits, but the issue isn’t whether it was important that he had a 1,000 rusher or RB by committee.  It was that he just blatantly lied about easily verifiable information and made those lies part of his planned remarks.
Also, he listed his house in Rollingwood for like double what better properties in Westlake we’re going for and couldn’t sell it for fucking ever even though Austin is the hottest real estate market in the country.  I’m not sure he’s a very realistic person in a lot of ways.
The lawsuit thing could have been more about an overzealous lawyer, same with the house thing but insert real estate agent. The stretching the truth about 1k yard rushers isn't a good look, just not sure it's an important detail.

Not looking for necessarily “classy” and definitely not “nice”. I just want an HC that acts like a professional, especially after the Tom Herman buffoonery.

I happen to think that Anwar is a bitch for releasing video. You think if one of the Texags idiots had a video of jimbo doing the same that they would post it? Anwar knew what this was going to happen - he would get clicks and retweets. He was a bitch for asking worthy about his transfer status before the bowl game. He cries and moans about lack of training camp access. But, then he goes and posts this. To summarize, fuck Anwar.

I don't think the video is a big deal but it is weird.  Who does that?  That is Matt Campbell type shit.  A normal coach I bet probably doesn't even notice, they have dude's holding them on the sideline all the time.  Even if they did notice I would expect them to wave the guy off or just, you know, wait to go out of the tunnel like the dude is trying to get you to do.  The % of coaches who would drop multiple F bombs on a guy for touching him, before a game, has to be tiny.

It's not some scandal, and I guarantee you no media member is going to ask him about it at a press conference in two months, but it was a weird look how triggered he got from the guy simply touching him in the process of doing his job. Maybe we didn't see the guy touching him prior to the vid, but if not seemed a bit aggressive from Sark.

The guy didn't need to put his hands on him like that, but Sark could have sent him the same message with his "T level" at 5 instead of 10+. "Get your hand off me, man!" Instead of "Don't fucking touch me motherfucker!

It's a viral engagement moment for Anwar, but that's it. Let's move on.

The problem I see with the lawsuit and the real estate listing is that both of those are heavily reliant on the advice of professionals.  Of course, he could override the professionals at any time, but in both cases (I'm sure his lawyers were contingent, and realtor), the pros have an incentive to counsel against that course of action.  And the only real incentive a real estate seller has to drop the listing price is to speed up the sale, which I doubt was an issue for Sarkisian.

More than one year at USC?  He coached there one full season and he did in fact have a 1000 yard rusher, but didn't in the second season when he was shitcanned in October.  It appears that he had a 1000 yard rusher at UW every season he was there.

Unphased.

Exactly.  Anytime someone says a coach needs x years to set up his system---I know they're FOS.

Herman was a better coach than sark but couldn't recruit and was a jackass and that's why he failed 

But all things equal I would take herman over sarktard all day.

If you take over an experienced team that has an experienced QB and was previously coached by Patterson...  😋

Dykes inherited some great pieces for his 1st year. They should not have fired Patterson, that program will decline - leading to my second point.

If we had hired Dykes as the HC, you complaining lot would’ve thrown the biggest tantrum this site has ever seen.

That’s what Briles and Baylor thought. Texas doesn’t have to go full on “win at all costs” to be nationally relevant and successful in football. Also, turning a program around and making it to the championship game in a single year is definitely the exception, not the rule.

Hmm.  Great take hot cakes.  So if we make winning THE priority, we're automatically rapists.  Good call. 

And actually, for Texas to be nationally relevant and successful means WINNING. No one gives a shit about Texas right now.

Texas should go win at all cost so long as no laws are broken or Penn State/Baylor situations...but as far as NCAA rules, lmao they don't matter and worst you get is a slap on the wrist.


We've only been relevant nationally 2000-2009 since Akers.

So yes we need to do whatever it takes as long as the above three situations aren't met.
