I wanted to add a few of the slides that Sark put up on screens in the ballroom during his address. He's talked about some of these things in various interviews over the last couple of years, but today was a one-stop shop for everything you could want to know about the culture at Texas was built and it's being maintained.

Thanks, CoachBobbyFinstock!

I think Sark’s secret sauce is his vulnerability. He doesn’t run from his past, but it doesn’t define him either. There are few things in life as fulling as watching someone you love battle addiction, overcome it and grow from by becoming the best version of themselves. To that end, the version of Sark that Washington and USC hoped they’d get appears to be the one Texas has right now.

As far as I know, that's one of the things I'm not allowed to record.

39 Days Until Kickoff — Who Is Your Fav No. 39?
Jeff Howe replied to Blake Munroe's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Shoutout to Ryan Bailey. If you win a game at Nebraska by making a field goal with snow falling, you get an honorable mention. -
I think my wife got rid of the one we had because all of our Christmas movies and such are now digital.

I hope Sark’s message got across in my running thread of his speech. It can be tough to convey emotion when you’re trying to capture every moment, but this was a great talk that provided a lot of insight on the culture Sark has fostered at Texas.

Sark wishes everyone the best of luck this season and thanks the THSCA for having him. And that’s it for his keynote address, as coaches start to file out of the ballroom here at the convention center.
-
Sark is wrapping up by thanking the Texas high school coaches for what they do and letting them know that the doors on the Forty Acres are always open to them.
-
Sark: “That’s a whole different form of adversity, is success.”
-
“Capable of Anything, Entitled to Nothing!” That’s one of the quotes that Sark said is a pillar of the Texas program under his watch.
-
Sark: “My job is to empower others. It’s really that simple… Empower them to go be great, go be special, go do things they want to do.”
-
Part of that is being real. Sark said there have been days where he’s told the staff that he needs their help because he doesn’t have a full tank, so to speak.
-
Sark talking right now about how much he loves football and college football. ”I love what I get to do every single day,” he said.
-
Everyone has heard Nick Saban talk for years about the process. For Sark, it’s about falling in love “with the habits that bring you success.”
-
Sark: “We have totally created an environment that’s a want-to mentality, not a have-to.”
-
A lot of what Sark believes in resilience and positive energy when dealing with adversity comes from studying Kobe Bryant.
-
Sark on the importance of responding positively to adversity: “We don’t succumb to what the surrounding temperature is supposed to be. We set our own temperate. We’re not thermometers. We’re thermostats. I think that’s why we’re so good on the road.”
-
Sark on the importance of self-reflection and growth within the program: “Who you were last year won’t be good enough this year.”
-
Sark: “Don’t be upset with the result you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do.”
-
Sark said he listened to what Arch Manning, Michael Taaffe and Anthony Hill said at SEC Media Days. He heard himself in each of them, which lets him know that his messaging and the program’s messaging from the top down is consistent.
