Well, we've been hearing from you the past 80something years, so this sure seems like a pot and kettle conversation
Herman actually had things turned around, and you idiots fired him for the next glittery object. Sarkisian has been a failure as a HC everywhere he's been, and will be so at Texas as well. Texas could have had a real coach like Campbell.

I think Sark is a fine hire.
Just ignore LSU fans opinions on this and some of the Ags. It's an excellent hire. He did an amazing turnaround job at Washington, then honed his recruiting skills back at USC. He's already hired Flood, who is one of the best OL coaches in the business, and Banks, who recruits Texas better than anybody.
As long as your BOR and boosters don't drive him back into the bottle, he's the guy who will get you back on par with OU.

Just shows Austin is full of stupid, much of what we already know.

Herman was their Sumlin. Had one magical year but was a perpetual 8 win coach. He needed to go.
Not sure if Sark was the answer but Herman definitely was not.

I think the biggest question is how well Sark can replicate Bama style success outside the Saban shadow.
Herman, for all the grief has received, consistently stacked up highly rated recruiting classes. Sark is supposedly an ace recruiter but that has not been the problem in Austin.
Sark's record as a head coach is decidedly mixed. I know that is probably influenced by his addiction issues and that he appears to have moved past. Still, after 7 years at two major programs he was not much more than .500 coach with a few Holiday Bowl appearances.
That is my curiosity . . . was he able to look brilliant coaching one of the best collections of talent in college football history?
I think a lot of this is why the initial reaction from the Longhorn fanbase was extremely negative on the hire. Vats of Kool-Aid have since been drunk.

I think Texas has made 3 good hires since Mack Brown was forced out but the problems are not wholly about coaching though I can't put my finger on the specifics on why
It's not mystery that there has been a culture problem.
Charlie was trying to prove himself, but he just wasn't ready. He kicked off like 20 players and then signed some decent classes, but threw all of those players in the fire from day 1 and they were just not ready for Power 5 football. And they would quit, often, which would result in Texas getting plastered by teams.
Herman felt like he was less trying to prove himself and more so felt like he already had. He had some great recruiting classes and was/still is a smart football mind. But he would refuse to adapt and it would get him burned all the time.
A huge problem for each of them was they thought that since they dominated every coach in the AAC, it would be a cakewalk in the Big 12 because they'd be outrecruiting everybody. That's only half true though. They outrecruited most, but did not know how to beat other coaches. Gary Patterson is a perfect example

Just don't feel like Texas teams got a lot of fight in them. At least not on a consistent basis
Bingo. One thing I will give to Tom's credit - his teams were tough. They never quit, and even though the losses piled up, they were never out of any game, even if the team across the field was head-and-shoulders better than them (USC '17, Georgia '18, OU every year, etc.). That's a hell of a lot more than Charlie's teams could've said. I think they lost by double digits maybe once or twice, and I'm not the moral victory type, but out of something like 18 losses, that shows they were at least consistently competitive. The problem is, so many of those losses shouldn't have even been competitive to begin with; Texas should've been killing those teams. But they couldn't carry the same intensity against the Iowa States and TCUs of the league like they did against OU and in bowl games

I don't think we're expecting that either. We're expecting to not lose 4-5 times per year. And I'd say with more money, resources, as good of facilities as anyone and consistent top 10 recruiting classes, it's not too much to ask to at least contend for the conference.
I have not heard a single Texas fan say "well, we're not winning the national championship every year, so everything's an abject failure"

I wouldn't necessarily say he "turned things around" by needing OT to beat a miserable Tech team or losing to TCU 3 of 4 times.
I'm glad you have a crystal ball though and already know Sark will be a failure despite having the job for 48 hours. Then again, you already refused to give Texas nay hints from your secret playbook, which wasn't good enough for Mack to keep his job despite "being on your Christmas Card list" lol

What I see here is aggy about to loose its dickriding privileges as it continues to disrespect the fine asst coaches that Saban and BAMA have created over time. Shame on aggy.

UTx sucks and will going forward. You're student body and the once-proud town of Austin have been overrun by freaks who care nothing about football nor the traditions of the state of Texas. The only true football fans left are the 70+ year olds who graduated in the '60s & '70s like my father. The program is toxic and no other conference wants anything to do with UTx. Your football program is now on par with Texas Tech. Throw all the oil money you want at the football program. It will not change a single outcome for UTx.

In what world is Texas "little brother"? I always love hearing this shite. A&M says this so much it's as if they're trying to convince themselves more than the people they're saying it to.
More money - Texas
Better academic reputation - Texas
Better athletic performance *clears throat*
