First the Muschamp hire, now this. Seems like Sark and the team are serious about getting the program back on track. Staff, do yall have a ballpark estimate on how much that would be? It’s separate from his NIL earnings.

This is 100% correct. Georgia completely figured out Flood’s blocking schemes too, so I suspect it also is intended to revamp Texas’s o line philosophy (assuming Flood is retained).

Agreed. Appreciate all that PK did for us on and off the field. The defense was solid the past handful of years and clearly carried us in several games. Can’t take that away from him, so thanks Coach PK and good luck back on the west coast where it sounds like he wants to be. All good for both sides and hope it turns out well for all families involved long term .

🎯🎯🎯

I believe Rutgers CB Bo Mascoe is someone to keep an eye on when the portal opens for Texas.

That is superb advice lol! Will find the one one of these days right?

That's what I keep hearing!

You aren't getting any younger

Yep one of the best coordinators we have had here, though I understand why Sark might prefer Muschamp (who happens to be the #1 coordinator we have had here).

In all of coach Sarkisian’s time with the program i’ve never seen him be this “aggressive” you could say when it comes to making decisions in the offseason. If this is his new normal i’m excited to see what else he pulls off.

Yep. Jacoby Jones, decent player, got hurt after the OU Wr ran himself out of bounds.

I can name another assistant were he to leave I would be overjoyed. Not PK. Best wishes Coach,

Good Heavens. How could he even walk after some of those games????

In fairness to PK we had zero able bodied pass rushers in 2021. I remember that in desperation they scoured major programs for highly ranked guys who hadn't lived up to expectations and got 3 - Ovie something from Notre Dame (who subsequently followed BK to LSU and didn't work out there either), the 5* linebacker from Bama (Ben Davis?) who didn't do much and a high ranked dude from LSU (Thornton?). None of those guys were much help. Without any pressure off the edges we were sitting ducks

2021. The defense had some struggles, but that was a very stout conference schedule. Repeatedly ignored by message board posters. Every board I’ve been on. Rinse and repeat. I also repeatedly read discussions on officiating errors. Since 2021, the poor officiating pales in comparison to the examples set from the Big 12 that year. So, yes, the 2021 defense faded in 2nd halves, the offense struggled to make the plays too. Sark, while deserving considerable credit for many aspects as to where the program stands today, in terms of wins and losses in his 5 years has underachieved more than he’s overachieved. Now, this move. He wanted Muschamp from the get go so it’s understandable he’d bring him on board when ready. There are legitimate questions about what has Muschamp done lately. Per Georgia’s website, he was Co-DC in 2022-23. Also per their website, Schumann was co -Dc in 2019 and promoted to DC with play calling duties in 2022. Here’s a little reminder that Kyle Flood is listed as our OC. I doubt many here would be comfortable with him calling plays for Texas. The trajectory shows Schumann is their primary DC with Muschamp in potentially an advisory role. There is legitimacy to questions about what Muschamp has in the tank and how much he’s been engaged recently in spite of him being Co-Dc in 2022-23. I’ve yet to read any insight into what he did in this role but rather assumptions that it’s significant. And that those who question that are to take it as gospel. If Schumann was the defensive play caller, then that makes those questions legitimate. As to Muschamp, I like him. I also like Pk. That doesn’t mean that certain things didn’t frustrate me, but you’ll get that with every single coach. On its face, I don’t like this move. Not because of Muschamp so much but because of PK and all we’re left with is perception of how it went down.

We need one portal proven receiver with speed. Our greatest needs are guards with an attitude, and linebackers.

I think back to Sark's arrival and the one hire that felt like Sark kind of "settled" on was PK. I'm not saying Sark didn't go big game hunting (he did, he wanted Muschamp) but we wound up in the SEC with a coordinator who developed his system in the PAC 12 and initially had a hard time adjusting to the Big 12. Not that PK was a bad coordinator. He was solid. At times, he carried this team. We can't forget that. But............this is Muschamp. Muschamp is an SEC dude all the way. If you have elite defensive talent, you do NOT try to scheme your way to wins as if the talent is equal. You turn that talent loose and that's what Muschamp does. It's as if Sark said, "PK is good but we're not here to be good. We're here to be great." and he's made sweeping changes on offense. With that said, can Sark find it in himself to do that on offense? By all accounts, sweeping philosophical changes are coming as we attempt to build an SEC style bruising offense as well. The RB coaching hire and purging of the RBs on the roster show this to be true and, by all accounts, some guards are going be pursued in the portal. It's as if Sark has said, "I did this is at Bama before I arrived. Let's build that." I think Sark has taken a HARD look at this team, realized he has Texas money and CDC to back him, and is making every change necessary. I'm just a schmuck fan but I have such a good feeling about this. I can't help but think of a sign I saw one time. It was two buzzards sitting in a tree and one was saying, "Eff waiting.....let's go kill something." Hook Em

Umm, no, you’re not considered stellar when you have huge leads melt away in the 4th due to calling prevents and soft zones that lead to easy completions and open up vulnerabilities leading to potential for coverage busts. You’re not considered stellar when you don’t do the things to keep your best players in position to make big plays. That has been discussed by the mods AD NAUSEAM here. Either you’re trolling or you’ve completely lost any “credibility” you thought you had in diagnosing football.

From NC ST.??

Those two players...Bo Jackson and Jaden Baugh ... were the two best RBs I saw on TV this season. I'm sure there are others -- for example, I remember Berry's recruitment, but I didn't see him play this season. Time will tell. Hook 'Em!

Would love if Bowens from Georgia went into the portal. Showed flashes of a big time RB. I’m sure he will stick with UGA though.

I thought Gerry mentioned last year that Berry is related to Juluke. Maybe Wilson's departure makes him leave the boot but family brings him to Austin.

CJ -- I was a student at Texas way back in the '70s and I had a GF who used to say "there are some you marry but more you practice on." We dated at UT and for several years after... then we both got married to others. I got divorced after 21 years of marriage and she is still married. With the Michigan and Ohio U head coaches in mind, you be careful around the Forty Acres and remember you aren't a student anymore! Hook 'Em!

Yes lol. So year 1, with no nil or portal, is an indictment on him? Come on man. In that case, you better fire Sark, too.
