I just don't see what Sark brings that Herman doesn't. Texas has a culture problem that's chewed up two coaches now. Sark was a terrible program manager.
I've never seen someone benefit from NOT or NO LONGER being a total drunk than Sark.
It's like because he was so drunk at UW and USC he gets opportunities other people wouldn't. Mystifying.
The boosters are crazy at Texas. I don’t think he will be a huge upgrade over Herman either, but he is doing very well at Bama. I think he’s a very, very good OC. Yeah, it’s Bama but after his success he will get the very best skill guys.
I don’t see how he makes Texas the physical force every team needs to be. I’m with most here, it very likely won’t end well, but I am excited to watch.
I never thought Chip Kelly would ever be as bad as he became. Harbaugh is a joke at Michigan at this point. Things do change in CFB. I would hire Sark over either guy right now which seems unfathomable from when they were all in the PAC 12.
I knew for certain Sark couldn’t hack it at USC. I’m a lot more on the fence about him at Texas but the pressure is going to be high, they haven’t been all that great for awhile, and they will expect him to compete for natties right away.
Texas, despite all the money isn’t a blue blood Football school anymore. They haven’t won a conference Championship in 12 years. And have won 3 in the 25 years that the Big 12 has existed. One more than Baylor and Kansas State.
I know Doogs will downvote this to death. Because it’s Doog nature to hold the once mighty in high regard for decades after their fall.

I'm not sure I would say "decades" after the fall. They have had a rough decade for sure, by their standards, but they won a BCS NC 15 years ago and played in another one 10 years ago. Hell they won a Sugar Bowl a couple years ago. So yeah, they have had a rough decade, but just like USC they are only one good Coach away from dominance again - same as Bama, USC, etc.

Disagree about USC. The real Blue bloods have sunk their hooks into LA area High Schools and Clay Helton will be there coach for the foreseeable future as they don’t give af about Football anymore. And a 2022 recruit doesn’t remember any big Success at USC.
Most outside of Texas football with half of a brain know that they are Wisconsin and Michigan. And clearly the AD and boosters haven’t a clue as to what they are doing. Sober Sark will get you 8-10 wins per year at Texas. The same as Herman did. But there’s no way they supplant Oklahoma as a perennial champ.
So in 3 years, they’ll be hiring the Indiana coach and will see the same results.

I remember when UT fans used to treat TAMU fans like they were basically Southern coogs and beat up on them every year without really trying. TAMU was squarely the #2 and It was a hilarious rivalry and it boosted both programs significantly.
Now tamu has moved to the SEC, UT has an open invitation for tamu to come back and play them and tamu big dicks then with a “no” every year and the shine is a little bit less on UT. Tamu used to be the stupid younger brother, they are closer to equals thanks mostly to UTs decline and Tamu SEC dick riding.
A smart UW AD would call up UT and get a home and home series against them in the next two years... not only would it be prime time sark returns TV bullshit but they are not nearly as scary as they used to be and beating them is still considered a big deal.
"I'd expect that the SC lawyers will play a bit of hard ball to make Sark and his team sweat a bit and see if they can get them to accept a lower settlement but behind closed doors they know that they'll lose badly if they go to trial on this.
I expect that Sark will probably settle for somewhere around $15M and be hired on as a studio analyst on the PAC Network next year"

Outcome? $0.
