Chip Kelly would be a nice addition.

Because that is an outdated win total and frankly CFP is the new minimum standard, especially for a program like Texas.

Sark is the diddy equivalent of James Franklin. Might as well fire him now before he pisses away our recruiting status. Keeping him does that and ends up being fired anyway

I feel like there's a lack of understanding with this post of who Bobby Burton is in the history of the recruiting industry. He built the first real national recruiting platform with the National Recruiting Advisor in 1993, and has been integral to the formation of every one of the ones in existence currently. Also, no offense to Bobby Burton, but anyone who hires Gerry Hamilton automatically gets the best coverage of Texas recruiting with that hire alone. In football and basketball. Since Gerry and Bobby go way back, and there's a huge amount of trust between the two, there's no real chance of a separation. Bobby isn't going to make a move unless he can bring Gerry with him at this point.

I just think OTF would provide a much better evaluation product than IT because I don't think Justin Wells leaves the state. And with OTF having a bigger footprint, the national guys would get better info. Hell, I'm not sure how much he leaves East Texas. Justin is a good guy, but his analysis of players we recruit are no where near as informed as Gerry's because he actually goes to see players practice. That's dedication to your craft. And that's what separates OTF from the others is the dedication everyone here has to their craft.

Rivals as well along with 247

That turned out real well, Sucked for 12 years.

With our Scedule , 9-3 is impressive.

Been doing that , Did not stop the haters .

I definitely don’t want to see Sark at the end of the year trying to politic his way into the playoffs after a 9-3 win season. Two years in a row doing that will not be a good look. Either way, just making the playoffs was not the goal this year. Everyone expects a deep run.

Rivals is On3 and Bobby is/was On3.

I totally agree. Sark will be fine, but alot of his staff won't be. Texas needs to finish 10-2 or better and make the playoffs. Sark know better than anyone that missing the playoffs would be CATASTROPHIC for him and his staff.

I think flood is a great tackles coach, we need an interior OL coach

Would that fix the root cause or just mask a symptom?

HC Sark has been fantastic, play caller Sark hasn’t.

Gotcha. Makes sense.

I’d expect him to have no choice but to swallow his pride and hire an OC and make other staff changes if he wants to continue to be the head coach.

New OC and OL.

I made this point on C&F back before they lost 2 in a row to blowouts.

No, one of the players gave me the name rockin ron because I used jock jams music to intro the match lineup. Years later one of the coaches started calling me rocketman. It stuck!

We peaked in 2023 when Joe DeCamillis was on staff as special teams assistant. We dropped significantly in 2024 when he was no longer here 🤔

Will Muschamp was also a coach at Valdosta State when Faulkner played there. Faulkner and Muschamp were also on the Georgia staff together in 2021 and 2022.

fire him like mack

PA announcer for the Tennis team? Shouoldn't your screen name be racketman instead of rocketman?

Who was Joe DeCamillis? Also, how much of an effect can analysts really have on a team? Don't you think the position coaches and the head coach have more influence on the team than analysts do? Isn't the main problem Banks and Sark's refusal to hold his coaching friends accountable for their position players? I've been watching the Saban series, and one thing I've learned about his famous "process" is that he held everyone responsible for everything, from the players to the equipment boys. He was friendly, but he didn't make friends. He held everyone accountable, not for the final score, but for how they accomplished each task and each play, in and out of the game. The sloppiness and lack of awareness on this team would have driven him nuts. This is ultimately on Sark, don't you think? Sark likes to talk about "culture," but that is a macro term. When you aim too wide, you miss wide; you miss the failed micro steps that led to the miss. That reminds me of the line Mel Gibson says to his sons in the movie "The Patriot": "aim small; miss small!" I think that goes back to Saban's "process," where you take accountability and responsibility for every small detail in your program, and you demand that same responsibility and accountability from everyone on your staff and on your team. I don't think we are getting that from Sark, and maybe not from CDC, since he isn't holding Sark accountable.
