re: Rank SEC Head Coaching Jobs

I honestly think Sark can win a title. He called the plays that brought Alabama its last natty. Sark’s players in general like the guy, and will play hard for him. And compared to the 10 years before Sark, he’s putting lots of our players into the NFL now. And past UT Austin stars, including Bijan, Vince, etc. seem to like Sark too. Sark has graciously brought Mack Brown back into the fold as well.

The combination of Texas’ access to money, a demonstrated pathway for player recruits to the pros, and ex Texas players like Bijan and Vince voluntarily hyping our program and serving as player mentors make me feel like our program is in much better shape than it has been in years.

That said, it’s incredibly hard to win a national championship. IDK what our O line will look like this year. Sure, I would love to win a natty again (I was fortunate enough to attend our 2005 National Championship game vs USC), but I will feel pretty good if we finish the year within the top 5 teams.


I like said in a follow up, I think we're a great OC from a real shot. I just think Sark's arrogance blinds him to this fact.
in 3 years this guy still hasn't figured out how to fix our goal line offense and he looks completely lost when we play elite teams. I fully expect OSU to win in Austin.
But I do think he's good enough to win it all if he had someone else designing and calling the offense. If Mack can win one, there's no reason he couldn't.
But I stand by my belief that it will never happen until he delegates the offense to a dedicated OC.
Time will tell.

I'm not a Sark believer either for what it's worth.


He's not as bad as I make him out to be. His arrogance just pisses me off because I truly believe we are a great OC away from having a shot.

I also know he'll never hire one.

If the question is which one is the ripest for winning championships consistently, it's likely Texas. You have virtually unlimited funding which is the biggest obstacle to overcome. A&M is comparable from a budget standpoint but they don't have the tradition to point to. Even though Texas has largely underachieved since the '70's despite it's advantages, they can at least point to a handful of years where it all aligned.


We suck at hiring head coaches and that has held us back most years. Sark is an improvement from the last two by far but he's not someone who can win it all.
Then again that list is pretty damn small. I shite on Sark a lot. I hate his arrogance that blinds him to his own limitations on offense but he's not a bad coach.
I just don't think he can win a title.

That's loser's mentality, football coaches aren't (in general) wired that way.


You're not wrong. I just can't imagine that kind of pressure. They seems to thrive on it.

Probably the one with lowest expectations. Make millions with a mediocre product.


This. You always see Georgia, Bama, Texas, A&M, LSU in "best coaching jobs" lists. bullshite.
Go make millions with lowered expectations somewhere else. That's the dream job.

You do realize he's responsible for coaching and developing these players right?
Perhaps you don't.

To Texas, yes.. but to OU it’s a W on the schedule

He would have Texas and Oklahoma in different conferences? What an idiot.


We were in separate conferences until the Big 12 formed. I wouldn't want to go back to those days. Being in the same conference just ramps up the importance of that game.

Getting Georgia off of there considering the results the last two years would seem a huge win.


Yeah avoiding kirby's annual tea-bagging of Sark is nice but if by some prayer we end up in the SEC champ. game, I have a feeling Kirby will be waiting for him.
And will once again humiliate him.
We are overrated. I'd point out the stats that prove how overrated Sark's offense is every year but it makes some of the resident Longhorn fans cry so I'll resist the urge.

We will not end the year top 5,. That's all I'll say about it.

Are you a bot?


are you an idiot who still buys Sark's shite? :rotflmao:

Going to be a rough year for you...but if the last 3 haven't taught you anything, I'm not sure this one will. I'm sure that Kool-aid is sweet, however.
Nope. Sark's shitty offense will keep us from winning anything that matters.

Normally takes longer for an alt to out themselves, but this sort of selective & filtered stat is a classic Aggie move. Got it. Carry on telling us all how bad & irrelevant Texas is…


I don't know why people keep responding to that mentally ill nutjob. He has nothing in his life but this board and his jealously of all things aggie and longhorns has reached "full blown condition" levels.

Not going to pick the obvious choices. I'll go with

Offense – Sterling Berkhalter
Defense – Lance Jackson

LSU v A&M is my favorite outside of ours. Iron bowl would be a close 2nd.

Texas picked to finish just like last year with 3 losses .


You have to forgive some of our fan base. They still believe Sark is an elite head coach :rotflmao:

I'm hoping this is the year they finally see, without their orange colored glasses, That Sark is just not "the guy"
