A little bit of “clapping coach” content here. If I’m a Longhorn (well, I guess I am, actually), this sounds a little like latter day Mack Brown. All that’s missing is the vote of confidence from the AD.

Yikes

quote:

”Probably wouldn't be fair to these guys to say, you know, our culture is perfect right now," Sarkisian said Monday. "They're all -- they're due to do the right things. They were great today. They came in, they were coachable. They took to the tough coaching from Saturday.

"So their mindset is all there, so that tells me the culture's right. But at the end of the day, we got to play together as a team Saturday."

quote:

Texas is just 3-8 against AP top-10 teams all time under Sarkisian, who raised more eyebrows Monday when asked whether he was surprised by the Longhorns' struggles this season.

"I don't know if I'm stunned," he responded. "I mean, take the other -- how many teams are there in college football? One hundred and thirty-six. Take the other 135 and have them go play at Ohio State and at the Swamp. See how they do."

And I would respond to Sark, how many of those other programs have the expectations and backing that UT has. Maybe 5 other schools? He’s just pouting because he got asked some difficult questions

Texas sounds more and more aggy everyday. It’s gotta be frustrating to be a longhorn fan this year.

The self recognition of your fan base as perennial clowns never ceases to amaze me.

I agree with this statement.

Texas and Aggie are damn near the same program.

The celebration of losing the last game you play every year never ceases to amaze me.

I support the Aggies. Aggy is claiming a national championship and Heisman preseason and then falling flat on your face. The Aggies have definitely done that before, but this year, that honor goes to Texas.

Congrats.

No true fan claimed a Heisman or preseason, that would be the media. Natty I thought we would compete but never said natty or bust and no true fan did either. However not making the playoffs would be a disapointment for sure. However, depends how it happens. If we win out but lose to UGA then (and OSU is legit) than shows it was stupid to schedule OSU and from now on just schedule middling Big 12 and Big 10 or ACC teams in OOC. No reason to play at the Shoe game 1, does nothing for you.

This type of talk is the beginning of the end.

What he is saying is "I tried my best, I'm tired of this crap, and deal with it."

I'm glad Sark is finally getting the chance to show everyone what evidently our effing AD couldn't figure out.

He's a simple OC. That's what he is.

What kind of loser messaging is that? That a top-ranked team can't go into Columbus or Gainesville and win? This ain't just 1 of 135 teams he is coaching. It was supposed to be a Top 5 team.

And his signature win this year is the defeat of Sam Houston State with his preseason Heisman favorite QB trash talking one of their defenders.

How low can they go?

How do you think our BMD's feel after hearing that, and after pouring millions into this fricking program?
