Jerry makes as much sense as anything but there’s all sorts of possibilities. College donors have direct access to the agent sphere now. It’s not even required to back channel through attorneys anymore if you don’t want to. You just pick up the phone and call them on their cell if you’re a big enough fish.

People will always kick the tires on Sark the OC. There will be a HC to rein in his crazy sometimes Tin Cup mode play calling. He didn’t fare well with the Falcons as OC following Shanahan but I think people recognize he’s a talented OC. There are 32 NFL teams and about ten of them will try anything. I just never thought he would stay. He wants back to the NFL. He admires how they do shit. This coming out in the Athletic is disastrous for him. He loses errbody gonna go “well no wonder we lost he doesn’t even want to coach here enough to do his job.” It may feel like a box to him. But to us, we just got told our spouse has a wandering eye. It never works out well. And I feel like he’s incapable of reining himself in as play caller and he is spread too thin as HC and the entire team has suffered as a result of his asswater idea to do NFL prostyle practices and basically be virtually absent from our offseason. 
 

who knows what happens now. The bloom is off the rose. 🌹 that’s all I know. If he seriously wants NFL then Sark needs to ride Sexton’s ass like Zorro to find him a landing spot asap.
 

Stoops at Kentucky will never be the same after aggy tricked Stoops into taking a job offer and pulling it back. The bloom is off the rose there. They know he was gonna ditch them. it’s a damn shame because “4th quarter Mississippi State” Sark is who we hoped we hired for every game. This whole thing sucks.

The NFL desires just make so little sense to me. 

He was OC for the Falcons for 2 years, and was fired after HC Dan Quinn was forced to clean house. His performance was middling at best, as he took over a high powered Falcon offense and left with an average one.

He's HC/OC/play caller at Texas. I'm assuming he'd want the same responsibilities in the pros.  Even if an NFL team is willing to give him that power, it's still fleeting. If he sucks the owner/GM will pull play calling duties ASAP. 

Unlikely he gets a higher yearly salary in the NFL. 

The only thing that makes sense to me is if he hates dealing with NIL/portal/recruiting/staff turnover & hires. But those are his most successful areas at Texas so far. 

Sark was lucky to even get the Texas head coaching job. Looking for a way out seems ridiculous.

Probably Finebaum. He hates Texas and anything that disrupts Bama v Georgia to SEC CCG game and both get auto into playoffs. He hates we have Arch. Laughs at Arch’s struggles and wants arch to transfer and sark to leave Austin. Because he hates Texas. The SEC mad they cannot rig games anymore to keep the world from seeing how shitty the refs have been. I don’t know what will happen but I hope we can call a “4th quarter” for all four quarters in the Georgia game and destroy their chances for both CCG and playoffs. Fuck the SEC. Cheating ref mofos. It was probably a scheme that walking dick Paul cooked up to fuck over Texas.

What college coach wouldn’t. College is a 24-7 365 day a year job now with all the stuff you mentioned. At least in the league you can take a few months off after the season

Funny thing is Sark is not even close to the top-10 guys in line for the next NFL HC gigs. Guys like Joe Brady, OC Buffalo and Vance Joseph from the Broncos. The TB OC, Brian Flores DC from the Vikings, and even Kliff Kingsbury from the Commanders are far superior choices.

The NFL is the most prestigious gig in football. I would be surprised if a coach doesn't want a chance to succeed in the NFL.

Why would Jerry be interested in Sark?

He wouldn’t. He’s an idiot so that’s the only angle.  He’s also notoriously cheap with his coach hires. He only hires coaches with no options so he can get them cheap and put up with him.

A lot of coaches like working with younger players and developing them. 

Also the vast majority of pro football coaches are NFL lifers, working their way up through the system.

Sark has always come across as someone who thinks the college game is beneath him. When his concepts don’t work right in the college game it’s because the players aren’t professionals. I get it, some people have their preferences, but being the HC at Texas is not the fucking place to use as a stepping stone to the NFL unless you can bring a few titles within half a decade. Sark standing on his booger eating hill of “back to back CFP semis” doesn’t fucking count. One of his QB whisperer prodigies Mark Sanchez got to back to back AFC championship games and look at the guy now. That doesn’t mean shit unless you can get a ring.

Ehh, not so sure that’s true anymore. Not too many seemed interested in taking the Dallas job last offseason. The entire organization is a gong show, from ownership to the fans.

The other way around—he’s spread too thin at OC while being the head coach. Sark over calculated with all the injuries that happened late in the season and went with the NFL model for the offseason. He also put too much faith into the homegrown Oline. If he comes back those are things that can be fixed. The hardest part for fixing Saturdays will be getting him to relinquish play calling duties. I may be in the minority here but I don't think it’s a forgone conclusion he doesn’t give up play calling.

Im guessing the implication here is that Sark wanted the Dallas job this offseason, but Jerry went with a cheap assistant and then bragged about it to this writer at the owners meetings

Bit of a stretch. Sark has said in interviews why he prefers the college game over the pros. That opinion might have changed now for numerous reasons but it’s not because Sark thinks the college game is beneath him.

The "apex of the profession" currently consists of these guys as HCs: 

Jonathan Gannon, Raheem Morris, Sean McDermott, Dave Canales, Ben Johnson, Zac Taylor, Kevin Stefanski, Brian Schottenheimer, Shane Steichen, Liam Coen, Kevin O'Connell, Kellen Moore, Brian Daboll, Aaron Glenn, Nick Sirianni, Mike McDonald, Todd Bowles, Mike McCoy, and Dan Quinn. 

The NFL head coaching world Is a boring ass fraternity that hires internally.  95% of sports fans couldn't name these coach's previous positions before getting the head job.

Yes. But he's 39 and he is breaking in a new QB this year, TE, they lost RB depth with their guy tearing his ACL, replaced two Guards, a starting Pro Bowler rookie DB, with two freshmen having t step up, as well as DE and DL, and they lost their DC. So, yeah,  I'm giving him some slack for that. He lost to Miami and A&M with a freshman QB and they have been winning since. So yeah, that Marcus Freeman.

Kingsbury is a terrible college coach, tho, he does have a good track record with QBs, tho. Not sure I would feel good about anything else he would bring to the table.

Damn you, I did anyway. Sark is 51st, on the list, and he’s young enough but this ain’t his first rodeo. Not saying he likes losing but he knows losses happen. Playoffs are all that matters now that it has expanded.

My point is it's not the 90s anymore. The NFL became a corporate entity and most of the HCs are nameless and faceless personalities. It is a "better" job in title only. 

College HCs have to recruit, so having an engaging personality is part of the job. 

Does anyone actually think Nick Sirianni is a better football coach than say, Urban Meyer? Does anyone know what Nick Sirianni did before he got the Eagles job?

Harbaugh is a crazy cheating booger eating denier. No no and plus they’d find a way to suspend him for meatchicken.

 

i just would like an open process where we look at a variety of candidates and interview them. Both in the pros and the college world, that’s all i ask. If Sark decides to leave.
