Agree, can’t be forced. He has to evaluate it and come up with the right decision.

This is the realist post majority of Texas fans keep thinking we will eventually flip a switch

Kyle Flood ass level of consistency. Do better or get out!!!!

Texas Longhorns- 17 Florida Gators- 16

Better? Who cares about better? Better than Strong? That's a really low bar. Mack Brown would have extended the mediocrity he'd already exhibited starting in 2010. I actually predicted that's where we were headed because he got lazy on the recruiting trail. Saban had established the blueprint for how to recruit. 7on7 coaches and various trainers started having a bigger impact on high school players. Mack refused to let his assistants travel outside the immediate Austin area during the season. He wouldn't even give gas money to high school coaches to bring their players to Austin. He wouldn't move his recruiting window up because he didn't feel like high school players should face any recruiting pressure before their junior year was finished. At the time I was going out to see a lot of high school games, and it was obvious our incoming talent was not up to snuff. In addition, he became scared of quarterback recruiting, making ludicrous promises to Garrett Gilbert's Dad about not recruiting over his son. I tried to tell people early we were about to hit a bad spell, but people shouted me down, told me to relax and enjoy the good times - because 2008 and 2009 were admittedly good. Better to pull the rip cord and start with a new regime. There's no such thing as a sure thing with new head coach hirings (unless you're Ohio State) but better to try to achieve excellence than to put up with mediocrity. The hiring process was terrible, but then except for Mack Brown and Steve Sarkisian, the hiring process has always been terrible. It was certainly terrible for Charlie Strong and Tom Herman, that's for sure, but it was terrible for Fred Akers, David McWilliams, and John Mackovic as well, so par for the course. As long as Eltife is the Chairman of the Board of Regents we should be good for the next one, but if Hinojosa somehow wins the governor position and starts filling the Board of Regents with people either indifferent or antagonistic to Texas football, we'll have some issues. Not to advocate who people should vote for. Just that's the reality. I don't think the governor position should make as big of an impact on the fortunes of Texas football as it does, but it matters who is on the Board of Regents. Especially when there's a coaching change. That said, it's possible to hire a hall of famer even when the hiring process is borked. Not likely, but it happens. Pete Carroll is probably my favorite example. None of this informs where we are with Steve Sarkisian right now. We'll have to see how the season plays out.

You could say the same with basketball but yet March madness is the premier tourney in sports.

Texas 41-10

Hell yes! Let’s do it this year!

38-20 Texas

4 teams, winners of the conference make it in. Any extra games can be played via inner-conference playoff. Free article

Horrible idea; there is no way that 24 different teams are qualified enough to be the national champion.

Better chance they do under 24 team format than current format. What format do you suggest to get teams to play a tougher schedule?

41-24 Texas Wins

Can we get through the next few games before we start worrying about this. Feels like everyone is already preparing for failure and that is not Texas Fight mentality.

35 - 13 Texas

Charlie Strong was the culmination of a disaster that was the UT-Austin system at the time.

With 24 Teams, I’d rather a BCS-like system (using the combination of polls, SOS, statistics and maybe an AI component) be used to select the teams and rankings, rather than the committee. I feel like it would better protect against the Texas Tech’s and BYU’s getting ranked too highly or the Lesser 2 of the Big 4 getting too many teams in.

Why would those teams willingly play a tougher schedule under the new format? Every team is only acting in their best interests and will determine they are better off playing weaker schedules because it guarantees them a spot.

27-17 TEXAS

Regular season ticket prices better freakin plummet to make up for this BS
