I've said many times you shouldn't judge a coach too much on Year 1.

That said, Sark inherited a very talented team. No excuse to be 4-7 right now. He was a mediocre coach at Washington. Couldn't handle it at USC. Why did so many people think he was going to be a wild success at Texas?

Because TX oil idiots think they invented the game and they know it better than anyone else.

You can make judgements when they’re bad coaches. Bad coaching has no grace period. I knew Pruitt was in over his head after his first game. He continued that way his entire time here.

Because he went to Nick Saban’s school for fired head coaches who want to rehab their career and image. Graduates don’t seem to have a high success rate in keeping their next job but that doesn’t seem to deter any schools from hiring them.

Why Texas fired Tom Herman still blows my mind. I thought he was heading in the right direction. Would be hilarious for TCU to hire him and get clobbered every year by them.

I thought the same thing. 2019 was a disappointing year, but 2020 I thought they rebounded pretty well and he lost 3 games; lost by 2 to TCU, lost in 4OTs to OU, and lost by 2 to Iowa St. OU won the Cotton Bowl and Iowa St. won the Fiesta Bowl. If they had beaten TCU I wonder if he had come back.

Then hiring Sark was a head scratcher to me...I think he's a good coordinator but gave in to substance abuse at his last high pressure HC position....makes you wonder if firing Herman after a rebound year limited potential interests from other coaches? Definitely gonna be interesting if they have to search again next year facing the gauntlet of the SEC but still with Texas sized egos and expectations

Yes replacing him with Sark made it even worse. They fired Herman for not winning enough at his first major coaching job but replace him with a guy who did ok at Washington and then barely made it a season and a half at USC? Granted he was dealing with some personal demons but still.

Texas should 86 the SEC thing and reform the old SWC.......and take A&M and Arkansas with them......

The old SWC doesn't want Texas back. Baylor, Houston, SMU, TCU and Tech are much better programs now and the whrons would just drag us back down to their current level.

Not sure it's a big reason for the Longhorn's downfall but I would like to see Texas vs A&M recruiting for the 10 or so years since the Aggies joined the SEC

You would think sooner or later ADs would realize the Saban retreads don’t work unless you can recruit better talent than everyone ala Kirby.

And Missouri for a door prize

Nobody really wants Missouri. I was shocked when the SEC took them. KU and KState own the Kansas City market and Illinois pretty much splits the St Louis market with them. The Big 10 rejected them and the BIG XII doesn't miss them. In fact, the XII still holds their basketball championships in KC just to remind them.
