BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return


Recommended Posts

Posted

This thread is why we can’t have nice things. Everyone saying Sark can’t handle being a HC and OC. So now he pawns off the defense to an independent Muschamp to free up his time and y’all are still bitching?

PK is a solid DC but he needs his hand held with the secondary. The same shit happened in Washington when they forced him to take a co-DC role.

Flood for Sark is probably like Davis for Mack.  He knows as soon as Flood is gone he's fucked.

Davis left after 2010 and Mack was around till 2013. So I guess if Flood is gone, Sark will be around till 2029?

Can you post it again?

I have high expectations for Muschamp and think he can do a great job, I don't disagree with you, but with the caveat that year 1 in any new system has hiccups. It's the latter part that makes me skeptical of the fanfic line that Sark just canned PK because the defense took a step back (as if the OC isn't a bigger problem through that lens).

Texas is all in on 2026 and that vision probably didn't include breaking in a new DC because the year 1 issues that can entail are at odds with the idea of maximizing next year. I think Sark was proactive in the sense that he was aware that PK was looking for an out and made a quick move to secure a top replacement - not that he just looked at PK this season and over the past 4 years and said "Nope, not good enough."

Anway, I think we're kind of going in circles so I'm gonna drop this here.

IIRC Greg Robinson came in and wrecked shop 1st year back.

We scored 7 points against Ohio state and 10 against Georgia, 21 against a shitty Florida defense, and 16 against Kentucky. The defense is a wash. Who is going to turn the fucking offense around?

Pass defense was bad,  couldn’t beat Ohio state or Georgia, muschamp is the best defensive coordinator in the country. He’s been the DC in 4 national title games and is 3-1. His 2008 unit won the fiesta bowl and in hindsight likely was the best team in the country. PK has no such skins on the wall, while offense was the bigger problem its without question muschamp is a significant upgrade.

I think PK was the best DC at Texas in a long time, but Muschamp has coached in 4 title games and won 3. I’m going with that.

In his press conference, Sark mentioned that having Boom will allow him to concentrate on the Offense in games instead of having to pay attention to the D when they're on the field.

A step in the right direction, but... sounds like he's keeping the OC job for himself, and that just prolongs the issue. I still think he needs to have a real OC who's smart enough and forceful enough to run that side, while allowing Sark as HC to override when he deems it necessary... you know, like going for it on 4th down  on your own 30. 

Came to post something similar.

Sark also mentioned this would free time for him to talk to Arch and Milwee in game.  Then added "and Flood".

Was it subterfuge because Flood is gone after the bowl game?  Or does this mean Flood stays?  I think the latter as Sark also mentioned the offense improving at the end of the season.

I think this is like the reboot that CDC apparently gave Herman.  Hope it ends differently.

 

Also, this thread is a list of Texas nightmares! Why don't we add UCLA rout 66 (1998), and OU 2003 and 2012?

Akina was a problem. Hiring secondary coaches before PK was a problem.

Retaining Flood and Banks would be a mistake. We’re a penal colony in those areas even when we were good. The recruiting and development on the oline has been tragic.

“Everyone” was clamoring for Sark to spend more time in game management and CEOing all aspects of the program, including defense. Not more time on offense.

The “focus less time of defense” was a talking point in a presser to not provide full insights about the decision. We are left to speculate why we fired the best coach on the staff.

My guess would be that PK has made a decision to move on, to possibly look at some HC positions. He cleared it with Sark and they decided the best way for him to get his full financial pkg from Texas was for him to be fired. Muschamp should be excellent

I don't know if Boom's 2nd ride is gonna work out or not. One thing I do know is our corners are going to have their facemasks in the receiver's chest presnap and we are going to get after the quarterback. We will probably get quite a few after the play personal foul penalties too. Quite a few sideline warning now that I think about it.

I'm surprised that this is being seen as a controversial move. In the 2nd part of the season, we gave up 38 points to Mississippi State, 31 points to Vanderbilt, 35 points to Georgia, and 37 points to Arkansas. It's not that hard to see why a change needed to be made.

You’re done after your first sentence. Just shut up and watch. Pay for season tickets or let them go to someone else that has balls, or at a minimum the ability to pleasure your wife. If she’s left you already, feel free to pay for an OB subscription, they have a great match program for sodomitic-prone individuals.

Pass defense was horrible. Remind me who brought akina back

I expect Muschamp is going to be great though chemistry and scheme could lead to some hiccuops next season. Defense isn’t the problem with this team though

I bet we are still bottom 10 in penalties per game and can’t run block for shit.

When coaches need a forced reboot by the AD it rarely ends differently. It’s evidence of a deficiency in their ability to assess their own weaknesses. Muschamp should shore up the back end. A good hire last year for DB coach would have as well. 
 

Sark’s problem is he doesn’t know what his problems are.

He’ll still be a significant upgrade over PK. Our secondary didn’t hold up against any decent passing attack these past few seasons.

I think you could make the argument that pass defense and PK’s ineptitude there is a major problem that could prevent winning even if it’s not the primary problem.  Re akina, I think sark isn’t much for a defensive coach, more proof he needed to solve a problem with a “HC of the defense” as sark called boom several times. 

Posted (edited)

I thank PK for his service and wish him well. As he said in his statement he will see us down the road. Of that I have no doubt. 
 

Sark is getting exactly what he wants here. His first choice DC, the ability to focus solely on offense while essentially retaining the HC title, and seemingly keeping his staff on offense. Penalties, the insanely poor performance of the o-line, failure  to plug holes on the line thru the portal, a poor RB coach and/poor running back performance (Wisner was the only RB all year to have a game over 100 yds and it came against aggy), poor RedZone play, a developing arch that sark couldn’t spend time with and so on. We have statistically been in the bottom third of the FBS in red zone efficiency and scoring in the last three years. There is a lot to clean up on offense. Arch comes back and he won’t have the same growing pains. Everyone knows and should know that the O-line is a priority, we have a better RB coach, sark will be devoting the bulk of his time to HIS offense. And Muschamp will start fresh on defense and do what we have seen him do in the past. Plus, he has HC experience so he will not need to lean on sark for nothing. If anything Sark will be somewhat of an island—offense island and if that fails there is no one else to blame for it. 
 

one thing is clear to me: there will be no scapegoats left for the 2026 season.  it should be a season of NO EXCUSES.

I will continue to have high expectations as we hired Sark in part for his play calling and he will now have the time to devote to that specifically.
 

if He cannot get it done and Flood and Banks are still on staff at the end of the year I won’t blame them. I will blame Sark. And imo He will be gone. And I will come at the sark supporters like a spider monkey.  But if Sark gets it done, he will be a hero and I will eat crow. I see no downside to any of this. The reboot either works or it doesn’t. If it works we celebrate. If it doesn’t we find a better HC. Jmo. No downside. No excuses, just win. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I won’t quibble with this too much but PK’s defense requires certain things from his DBs that Akina is a horrible fit to provide, either because he couldn’t or wouldn’t. I don’t believe Akina was PK’s choice but I don’t know that for sure. 
 

I have no problem with Muschamp per se. we could easily be better statistically on defense and it not make a difference when your floor for next year is a CFP final appearance 

 

eta I love Muschamp, and if I saw any evidence that Sark was going to address the most glaring issues as I see them I would be ecstatic. I don’t see that though and I feel like Charlie Brown once again getting ready to kick the football

You are correct but it’s the fact that sark had to focus on defense that sark thinks is a problem. 

His offensive philosophy shift this season - too late - and his plan to seek IOL in the portal are two reasons to give us hope for next year, moving on from Baxter could be too. I mean I think the OL is the biggest problem and offensive scheme is second but I’m not going to be upset that the D has a more complete coach / coordinator with a 3-1 record in national title games.  But no I don’t think PK was the top issue and it’s possible we could win the whole thing with him, even if Muschamp is the better coach.

You took that from this quote “Akina was a problem. Hiring secondary coaches before PK was a problem.”

Akina was a problem. That is a singular thought. Gideon was hired before PK, which was also a problem. Another singular thought. From which you could infer that the detachment of PK from the secondary was a problem.

I know they used to admit stupid people into UT in the 80s and 90s, but I would think two sentences wouldn’t be too taxing.

Folks who know have said Sark wasn't forced to make any changes.  I can buy it in this case  because he really wanted to hire Muschamp on his initial staff and thought it was a done deal.

Why didn’t Muschamp join when Sark was initially hired? I keep seeing that he was Sark’s 1st choice but don’t know why it took him 5 years to get here.

PK should be remembered fondly as a great DC who oversaw some excellent Texas defenses and left the defense in a much better place than he found it.

But it is undeniable that tying the secondary to the front was a persistent issue, and the only truly excellent defense Texas fielded had Barron, Mukuba, and Taaffe - three highly intelligent, very experienced players - running the secondary.

PK's greatest strength was in his willingness/ability to collaborate.  He was truly a low ego coach in a profession and era where egos run rampant.  The downside of his approach is that the defense often suffered from the "too many cooks in the kitchen" dynamic.  You know that old saying, that a camel is a horse made by committee?  The Texas defense frequently embodied that saying, in my view.

FWIW, I am a fan of this move.  I think it takes guts to move on from a very successful coordinator, and I understand it can be read as either bold or desperate.  I do think PK's bend don't break style is a better match for teams without access to elite talent, and not as effective against disciplined, talented offenses that top teams tend to have.  One of my low key bigger worries for next year was having Tennessee and Miss St on the schedule, given PK's known struggle against the veer and shoot (especially with TN being the first road game of the year).  I will never, ever, ever understand why Texas didn't pressure a gimpy Lagway - and in some ways, that decision/gameplan/unwillingness to adapt cost Texas the playoff.

Staff continuity is a good things in many ways, but it can also lead to stagnation.  Texas had gotten too comfortable, in my opinion, and since Bo Davis left lacked a true ass kicking voice.  I think - beyond just being a good and experience coordinator - Muschamp will bring a lot of needed intangibles to the program.

I feel like it’s a good decision in a vacuum but I’m skeptical it will make a material difference given my hopes for next season. Like drafting the “best player available” who is a RB when you desperately need OL help, a CB and a safety

 

If Banks and or Flood wind up gone I will be more optimistic.
 

If Muschamp ends up more of an associate head coach with oversight of special teams and mental discipline that would be great as well

Lol 🤣 what exactly was Sark doing to help pk ? Best thing Sark could have done in most of the games to help is score some damn points and call something other than QB sneak. Sarks play calling was awful.
