This is a tired and inaccurate sentiment. Maybe a few of you need to yell and fake alpha to be successful but almost all science tells us that emotions erode performance. Whatever small lift you get fails in comparison to the drop after. You can’t legislate another’s passion. That’s why recruiting the right person as much as the right talent is paramount. Sark needs to look at his staff and his offensive approach in the offseason. That’s it. Emotions would color them more than help him. Some of yall really don’t get sark’s passion, drive, and commitment. I promise you it’s hundredfold compared to any single person on here. IMHO, He struggles with discernment regarding the theory of his play calls working and the reality of the pieces in place to execute on it. Now, if a light doesn’t turn on, it could be a fatal error that costs him this job. If you look back at film, he can probably point out that he had the correct play call 90-95% of the time. WR or hole would be open but others didn’t do their job to take advantage of this. He’ll have to evolve from this. We’ll have if he can. I think, and hope, he will!🤘🏽

We live in a world of click-bait, look at me type of reporting. Rather than have facts and truth, speculate to go viral by raising eyebrows and generating conversation. He can then claim it was just a post on social media not in a formal setting without saying he has any sources. None of this beneficial to the Texas program coming from a Michigan alum, but got his clicks up and name in the headlines again.

Why does this coaching carousel feel off?

Is this a product of the time to fire (TTF- a new metric in the NIL era!) being quicker over the past few years in the 12 team playoff cycle? The fact that Lane was the definitive "Hot" coach always seemed weird to me as he is slightly better than average in a P4 setting, in my opinion. I wonder how much the retirement of Saban plays a role, too, as there were always coordinators in his org that were in the mix with up and coming head coaches. Knowing the coaches that were "poachable" were Kiffin, Rhule, Drink, and Sumrall makes it seem a bit of a letdown compared to previous cycles. (And maybe its the money keeping many names like Lanning, Cignetti, Smart, Day, etc completely out of consideration) Thoughts @Jeff Howe? -

The realistic pool of college coaches isn't as deep as maybe some folks making decisions at other programs thought it would be. Throw in a shallow pool of proven candidates for NFL jobs and those who don't get their top choice could be going pretty far down the wish list to hire a coach. -

Hypothetically, say Sark wants to leave (for whatever reason) and CDC is OK with it - no buyout, nothing like that, just a mutual amicable parting of the ways. Texas job is open. There are only two coaches on the list who just might (possibly) come here that I think would do an excellent job, based on what they've done the past say 5 years - I'm leaving out Kirby, Dabo, Saban, Cignetti - the usual extremely unlikely or unobtainables. Marcus Freeman and Dan Lanning are the two I think would be great fits at Texas. I know there are solid reasons that might keep them in their current jobs, but those are the two I'd go for who seem even remotely feasible, probably in that order. What do you guys think? Any other big names that you think are interested? Would Freeman or Lanning be suitable for you? -
