You are. The LSU fans talking about good gator was just one of the examples of little jokes he throws in. He is one of us.

You are as embarrassing as Sark. Reactionary?
He is 13-28 vs teams that were ranked at the end of the season.
He is 2-8 vs top 10 teams at Texas
He played one SEC last season that was ranked at the end of the season. He lost both times we played them. With a 3rd year qb and veteran OL
He is 5-18 vs top 10 teams all time.
There's nothing "reactionary" about those stats. I'd say you're the one who's pathetic.

Sark deserves criticism absolutely but you are absolutely disregarding his accomplishments and didn’t once name another coach to take his place. If you truly think 135 other coaches could do better you are just flat out wrong.
Was this hire bad the past 2 years? No one could objectively say that.
The offense sucks for a number of reasons and sark is without a doubt to blame for part of that. He also schemed up several awesome plays Saturday where the players simply failed to execute TDs. That’s on players. Sark also didn’t over hype Manning the media did, to no one’s
Sark may fail to win a natty which would be seriously disappointing but he hasn’t failed at Texas, he may end up being the guy before the guy but Sark is a good coach maybe great. Not saying he is elite but you saying he is bad is untrue by almost every datapoint.
So I ask again fellow Longhorn, who would realistically replace him? Coaches don’t want to deal with the unrealistic expectations and drama of being the head coach at Texas (we are our worst enemy) and every school can pay coaches millions. Maybe we have a differentiator with NIL, resources, brand, and fertile recruiting ground but most coaches don’t want the headache of the above.
So again, whose coming better than what Sark had already accomplished?

and who is responsible for players who can't execute, week after week? There's a guy that gets paid a lot of money to fix those issues. 3 years now and that dipshit still hasn't figured out how to score in the red zone.
As for Arch? Sark recruited him. Sark wanted him. Sark has been coaching him for 2.5 years now. Arch's failure is 100% on Sark.
He will fail here. I can promise you that.
As for your "who do you get"?. I'd take Dabo is a second over Sark. With all his flaws he has skins on the wall. Something Sark will never have.
I also didn't call for him to be fired. You can't fire a coach that went to the playoffs last season (albeit by beating absolutely no one worth a shite). Even if you know he's not the guy you just can't do that. You can forget finding a good one to come here in that scenario.
So yes, we are stuck with him for a few more years. We survived charlie strong and we can survive this. I just have little faith that the administration can find someone better. They don't have the best track record.

I can pull stats, he was top 4 the last 2 seasons when it mattered. Also won a conference title and went to another, remember those days back in the early 2000s? He didn’t win a natty and at the end of the day no one will remember that just like no one will remember your cherry picked stats.
Giving those stats without any context is absolutely silly. He took over an abysmal Washington team and turns them around to decent and he was turning around USC. At Texas he lost 3 games to top 5 teams last year, but just automatically assuming he loses games to top 25 SEC teams because he didn’t play them is ridiculous. You play who is on your schedule.
Again, WHO ARE YOU HIRING? Sark has been to back to back playoffs and will likely go 9-3 or 8-4 this year. Don’t love missing the playoffs this year but you cannot simply start over every time we lose a game and throw a tantrum.

JFC you are stupid. Once again. This is not reactionary. Go back last season. I predicted everything that's happening now. The problem is Sark. You don't have to agree. You will be wrong, however.
and I'm sure, once you realize this, you will disappear.
"Again, WHO ARE YOU HIRING?"
ok you clearly suffer from reading comprehension issues. I clearly stated that we can't fire him right now. We are stuck with him for a few more years. Repeat that if you need to.
If you just absolutely want an answer, I'd take Dabo in a second over this fraud. Dabo isn't perfect but he has something Sark never will. Skins on the wall.

We are not going to agree and that’s fine. Arch was recruited by almost every university so it’s silly to act like Texas shouldn’t have recruited him.
Sark can not throw and catch the ball. I agree penalties are somewhat on the coaches but if he as the OC are scheming up wide open shots and the players miss that’s on the players plain and simple.
Red zone is absolutely on him, you are right.
Look if you want to shite on Sark and call for someone else at least give the guy reason to be fired. If we go 6-6 this season and 8-4 the next few sure let’s make his seat hot. But this reaction (even if you have been saying it for years) after one Florida game is WHY no coach wants to deal with Texas

I don't know why you keep saying this. It's not "after one game". I say it when we beat the shitty teams and I say it when we lose to the good teams. You seem to be the one who is reactionary since you can't grasp that.
Just fricking drop it. You just need more failure to accept it. that's your right to do so but stop with the "not a real fan" bullshite to anyone who's critical. It's ridiculous.

Been a fan for almost 40 years so I’m not going to disappear. Predicted we would make the final 4 again last year? We lost to the champion. If you predict sark will never win a natty you might be right but I’m going to give him time to keep building. So far he has continued to ascend, that’s what he has shown us. This year appears to be a step back, let’s see how he responds.
Posted on 10/7/25 at 9:47 am to hookem33
Your life must be pretty sad.
If you say it after the wins what’s the point of even watching?
And say what “Sark will never win a natty” he may not but I’m going to roll with the coach who has built this program back and give him time to figure it out it. You can keep nitpicking everything and being miserable even when Texas wins. Have fun with that life

we also lost to every top 10 team we played (3 times). With a 3rd year starter and veteran ol.
I guess I simply don't understand how fans believe that a guy could couldn't win with what he had last year is somehow going to figure it out.
That's where the disconnect is.
"If you say it after the wins what’s the point of even watching?"
I don't really watch much any more. I keep it on in the background while I do other things. Sometimes I need a good laugh. Sark usually provides it, unfortunately.

It’s football, many things can change the trajectory of winning a natty. Might be na injury (brooks and Baxter back to back years), might be a terrible play call (letting OSU score on a screen before the half and then calling a pitch on the 1 to tie the game). My point and the way I see it Texas was very close back to back years. Maybe that’s as close as we get and maybe not (I think we can win one with Sark) but I don’t assume that Sark will never figure it out and I think he has earned the time to do so. The next few years we will learn a lot but honest question: what’s the point of claiming he never will? If you are right it means the team you root for doesn’t achieve their goal and you are more than likely right. It’s very difficult for the stars to align and win a natty in today’s college football. It takes a lot of luck, health, and talent to all come together.
Just don’t get the negativity, no coach is perfect. We will know all we need to know about Sark in the next 2 years

What you call negativity I call accepting reality.
I have no problem with you believing he can win one. Nothing at all...but just stop with the "not a real fan" bullshite. People said the same to anyone who was critical of Strong and Herman as well. Yes Sark is better than those 2. Far better.
Here's the way I see it, agree with me or not. Do we want to win a lot of games every year against teams with inferior talent or do we truly want to complete for titles every year?
if it's the latter, I just don't think Sark is the guy. If we want to just win a lot of games and be happy with that then people will be happy with Sark.
I've just seen nothing that makes me believe this guy is going to figure it out. How the hell could he come into this season, with THIS offensive line and talk about how great a team this was going to be. I realize a lot of it is coach speak but this clearly took him by surprise. I see now we are bringing in someone to work on the OL.
You and I both know that OL is not something you fix mid season.
I also don't think he is a very good developer of Quarterbacks. Quinn never really improved much. In some areas he regressed from year one (deep ball accuracy plummeted after year 1). Now arch, with 2.5 years under a "Quarterback Guru" looks like he just stepped off a high school football field.
Perhaps if he gave up control of the offense to a coordinator and became a ceo like Mack....I just think he's far too arrogant to give up that control I would LOVE to be wrong about this.

yeah I get it. Dabo is far from perfect.
He does have one thing that not many coaches have. A title.

haha yeah fair enough. The fanbase is pretty split right now when it comes to sark. We should probably keep it on our own boards, however.

I agree with almost everything you say here.
I think it will be telling if he becomes more CEO type and delegates (something Mack excelled in) but I don’t think he will let his ego allow it.
We need fresh one strategy or leadership and an OC to let Sark be a game day head coach.
If he does both those I trust PK to figure his side of the ball out. I still think he is a plus as developing QBs let’s see where Manning ends up, we have already seen where he started

This is my last post on this subject because I'm sure the other sec fans are tired of the bickering...
but this is the one thing I think he could do that might give me some faith that his program could actually pull it off.
but like you, I doubt his ego would allow it.
