    Mack was not the best coach in Texas’ history.

    Again, this isn't about Sark. I've mentioned Harbaugh and Fulmer as examples, too. And that's two of my least liked coaches all time.

    You can’t be stoking the flames in a pages long argument about Sark, in a Sark thread, and assert it’s not about Sark :laugh:

    Imagine how happy you’d have been if Saban turned up with the evidence that Auburn gave Cam Newton’s dad that $200k?

    There have been 9 of 30 Texas head coaches that made it past year four. If I am not mistaken all but one had a better record at year four than Herman. So his firing is not real surprising. Will wait and see if Sark is the answer but Herman was not. Of course I thought the last two hires were good ones so...

    They're just jealous yall got to enjoy those years of elite oline play with minimal holding penalties (good ol Rogers Redding ain't see shit) allowing the continuous cycle of stud running backs to run roughshod over the SEC, that's limited to them.

    If your takeaway after 4 years of Tom Herman at UT is that he “might actually grow into the role”, I have nothing to tell you.

    No offense but you clearly haven’t watched them or followed their program at all if that is a real part of your argument.

    He was a bust.

    I think you’re conflating my expectations with the reasonable expectations of the appropriate fan bases. 20-16 is below expectations at UW, 7-5 is below expectations at Southern Cal.

    Mack Brown was 98-33 in the Big 12 with 2 conference championships and one national title in 16 years at Texas. Those aren’t unreal expectations and should be met in that time frame. Are you misremembering his time at Texas?

    I'd argue that Mack Brown re-established expectations at Texas.

    It isn't, really. My argument in this thread is based on watching Sark for years. Based on that, I'd find it difficult to believe that he would be the better choice over keeping Herman. Sounds like Texas is fucked either way

    I don’t think Steve Sarkisian will be good or bad at Texas, which means he’ll ultimately be fired after the 2025 season.

    Mack Brown went 9 straight years of 10+ wins. That's not common and having that as an expectation is unreasonable. I think Bama and Clemson are the only 2 with current streaks that long. He's one of 6 active coaches with a title. Thinking anything less than Mack Brown is a failure is delusional.

    I think Sark will be an upgrade for Texas. It's not like the bar is very high. I'm interested to see if he can handle the pressure of the spotlight and hope he continues to keep his addiction at bay.

    Texas should be 9+ consistently. They have the resources and recruiting to do it. Plus, the bottom of the Big12 is real bad

    As I said earlier, about 20 teams can say the same thing. Everyone can't go 10-2. Can they win 10 a year? Sure. Is anything less a failure? I don't think so. Not many teams can do that.

    The greatest underachieving program in college football history. Notre Dame is a close second but that's only because the media hypes them up so much every year.

    First sentence is correct. The second one is stupid. ND is the most overachieving program in CFB. It’s a small Catholic school in Indiana with rigorous academic standards.

    To also be fair, it’s embarrassing that Oregon hasn’t managed to nuke the collegiate landscape, given that the fucking creator of the entire sporting outfitting game is an Oregon alum.
