They were the only ones that were right about the coaching change and they had Sark and Kelly as the tier 2 candidates after Urban. Gotcha, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got 8-9 years worth of work as a HC to show his capabilities. He’s a .600 coach. And an alcoholic. That’s always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that but be realistic... Nick saban could follow sark to be is DC at Texas too but we aren't going to say that... Young was a few practices away from being the starter for Bama this year as a freshman. He has almost zero competition for the bama starting gig next year and will be playing with more weapons and a much better oline than he would transferring to Texas. I mean yes it could happen I guess but come on... If I said "I don't think bryce young is going to texas" would that make you feel better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where YOU are wrong. Those guys get paid for views. They will say whatever they are told to say that draws ratings. Believe it or not I actually met one of these "experts" once at the casino in shreveport and he said as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I bring it up is because Sark recruited him and he’s followed Sark since his connection to USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw where you said throw some money at freeze who I also like as a play caller btw but what makes those names better than sark. Wouldn't freeze be on the same level as far as records and baggage? Just curious what would give the other names an edge. Franklin has done nothing but win... At VANDERBILT and JAILBIRD PENN STATE... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see who who the DC will be. seriously though, the talent is there... calling the plays isn't the issue. The issue has been implementing an offense that doesn't revolve completely around 1 player. Sam was great. But he was limited bc everyone KNEW he was it. Texas barely tried to use anyone else. Look at the bowl game. Robinson was dominant... Most people didn't know who he was until after that bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTI Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Will be fired in 3 years tops, rinse and repeat. Herman needed to go and I know UT has a massive buyout to pay.....but this is really the best that the University of Texas could do? Damn. They literally just hired an even worse coach. Did nothing at Washington, got let go at USC, got let go at Atlanta when he was OC there, and anybody looks good being a coordinator for Saban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupoi may be the #1 "bagman" of all time and playing the game. Cries of "Uncle Red" during the Strong years will be child's play compared to what Lupoi would do making the rounds in Houston/DFW. Additionally, multiple sources told FootballScoop that a reunion of Sarkisian with defensive line specialist and recruiting guru Tosh Lupoi, who’s spent the past few seasons in the NFL, also has been discussed.

Lhornfan Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Let's face it, when you start with Urban Meyer, who is going to be the guy that is a big hire? I would have been happy with Matt Campbell. I thought I would have been happy with James Franklin weeks ago until I did a little research on him. He seems to be just like Herman with a record of 60-28 and one conference championship in his seven years with Penn State. I think the big question now is who joins Sarkisian's staff? Some early names being thrown around, but there's too many rumors out there to even post the names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyLife Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I suspect there is some pretty bad blood between Herman and the bosses at Texas after they went after Urban Meyer while Herman was still the HC. I dont blame Texas for moving on but give me one reason why I should think Sarkisian will be an upgrade? He was basically a 7-5 coach at Washington. He was basically a 7-5 coach at USC. No reason to think it will be any different this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
