These are facts, not feelings. There is nothing emotional about this for me, I want Sark to stay, but I am not ignoring the signs.
Fact: It is one of the weakest NFL coaching candidate pools in a long time. The elite candidates were all hired last cycle. Majority of candidates are all defensive oriented coaches/coordinators and the league trend is to go offensive, especially if you have a young qb (the 2 nfl openings BOTH have rookie qbs)
Fact: As reported by OTF’s own Rod Babers, Sark has the NFL itch. All of us have said he would likely go after getting a title at Texas. Sark runs a pro style offense too…it is similar to Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniel. Which are very coveted schemes in the league
Fact: Sark has had probably one of the most turbulent 12-24 few months in his personal life, going from separation, to reconciliation, to premature newborn baby. These are publicly known events that were reported by Sark and Loreal Sarkisian themself, on their social media platforms. If that is what is publicly known, can you imagine what is going on privately?
Fact: Texas and Texas fans do not want Sark to go. Maybe some of you joke about it, but everyone wants it to work. The reality is, it takes two to tango. If the work-life balance is proving to be too much, and he has the desire to go, it would be perfectly reasonable to make a decision for yourself and your family to go another direction. (Jeff Hafley, DC for Packers, was HC at Boston College…He took a demotion 2 seasons ago to leave cfb for GB bc of the work life balance. Sark has a MUCH better resume, and since he calls plays, would likely not need to go OC route.)
Not a fact, my own speculation: the calls are likely coming from inside the house. And there is way too much smoke to just ignore. Let’s hope for the best case for all parties. But there would be at least one team willing to hire Sark in the NFL. He has options, but Texas does too. (Again not fact just speculation)
