I saw this too. I think Herman wanted to be liked and a good coach but his ego would not get out of the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Lhornfan said: 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. At Penn State, he wasn't expected to win championships, just compete for them... and he won one. At Vandy he was only expected to win 4-5 games... he was winning 7 and 8. James Franklin is a good coach. However, I think he is a hard ### and he wouldn't do well with the Texas donors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAWG91 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hang on a sec, seems like just yesterday Herman was all the rave? Now suddenly a guy with a .600 record (rounding up) as HC is the answer? Maybe the problem's not the coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I just hope Sark knows how to use these players. Herman’s 2 biggest problems were playing not to lose, and not knowing how to use the talent he had on the field. He made Texas very one dimensional with Sam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShirtD Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 UT fans are delusional! I guess Sark is going to bring a national title when he couldn’t at USC or Wash. When you can’t keep your own home grown guys home it’s not good. (See LBJ). Also, just a couple of Texas grown QB’s that didn’t choose the Horns or probably didn’t get recruited by the “high and mighty” LOL Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, Kyler Murray, Case Keenum, Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel, Andy Dalton, Nick Foles, Ryan Tanneyhill, Chase Daniel, Robert Griffen III, Kliff Kingsbury, Graham Harrell, JT Barrett, Jarrett Stidham, Davis Webb, Josh McCowen and Derek Carr has Texas ties and plenty more. Let’s not forget Quinn Ewers #1 in 2022 just decommited. The horns didn’t land 1 of these guys and or didn’t recruit them for whatever reason. Good luck Sark! Make UT relevant again.

Every one of those QB'S you mentioned were during the Mack Brown era. I'll take a NC, playing for another NC and being ranked high just about every year! Would love to go back to that success! Hopefully, the way Sark can develop QB'S it will be sooner rather than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thinking about possible staff hires: I want Ash to remain at DC and Hutzler at LB coach. At DL Giles is a great coach but meh in recruiting. Valai I don’t have an opinion on. On offense Hand, Coleman, and Boulware all need to be upgraded. Drayton can stay and obviously Yurcich will be gone since Sark will call plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red90fly Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Sarkisian's record may not be all that great when he was at Washington, but it should be noted he took over a dumpster fire from Tyrone Willingham that was 0-12 the previous year and Sark had them in a bowl game his 2nd year. I think his staff will be miles better than when Strong and Herman were hired. Strong brought along the likes of Shawn Watson and Herman brough his UH buddies and Drew %#$@ Mehringer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama has turned the corner in special teams (that was one of their only weak links for years) and it has been a strength for them the last couple of years. Especially the return game. I'll be glad to see Banks leave if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGreenDogs64 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Davis is a good OL coach. He was at UNT for one year and then taken away from us via Florida or Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
