He’s been critical of Sark over the years.  I still recall when he was very quick to defend Jimbo Fisher and A$M and called him a better Coach than Sark.

Did he really? That wasn't smart, at all.

I would hardly call anyone an "elite dc" with the performance of the defense, and more precisely, the secondary, regressing week after week...
Plus I think a lot of people are harping on the results of PK when the results aren't the reason he got fired.
Sark wants a more aggressive defense in all aspects: from playcalling to the intensity on the field both in practice and in the game.
He also wants someone that can take the keys of the defense and be the HC for that side of the ball and have a more NFL type of approach to playcalling the defense.
From the comments that Sark made today it's clear that he wants to be more hands-off with the defense and not have to hold anyone's hand so he can focus on his side of the ball more.
He also wants someone that creates stronger relationships with the players, both at Texas and in recruiting.

I think it's an A+ hire, after giving it some thought, and I think he made this hire with all the right reasons in mind.
Anyone that thinks that this was some sort of panic hire and not an all in move to squeeze everything out of the defensive side of the ball is mistaken.

The disconnect that was apparent on defense was concerning and it only got better with PK adpating to a style of defense that he doesn't want to run and that is much more similar to what WM wants to do.

WM is an upgrade by almost any objective measure. Recently worked with the one team that trounced a brilliant offensive mind like deboer.

Only question is fit. Only time knows that answer.

I’m in between Loewy and the board consensus on this one.

My primary concern: I’m not sure Muschamp’s coaching style meshes as well these days with the portal/NIL era relative to 08/09.

I look at tough coaching styles the same way as gruff news conference styles for coaches (a la Saban). When you’re winning/succeeding, it is tolerated and even looked at endearingly.

When you’re losing or not succeeding, it may start to wear thin. 

What eases my concern:

1. We are very talented. Lack of talent shouldn’t hamper Muschamp’s success.

2. This season’s cumulative defensive results were lackluster relative to what we had/expectations. I don’t think it would take a wunderkind to improve our defensive results from this year to next. Muschamp may fall short of 08/09, but should have ample room to improve from 25 to 26. Just seeing Simmons rushing the passer more and dropping into coverage far, far less will be an upgrade.

We made Lagway, Shapen, Cutter Boley, Diego Pavia, and a few others look like very capable passers when we played them. Nearly gave up the Vanderbilt game after giving up 21 pts in the 4th quarter.

Tennessee/LSU/Ohio State/MSSt again next year all likely to have strong passing offenses next year.  We can't give up all these yards/TOP/pts and place too much pressure on Arch to be superman for the team to win big games.
