    Saban must be excited Sark is making kick ass alcoholism press conferences instead of preparing for the NC. Free pub?

    Scott McCloughan, former Redskins GM. What's he doing now? Josh Hamilton? Somehow alcoholics are treated differently than heroin, cocaine, or oxycodone addicts. And why? Because alcohol is legally sold, and ingested by everyone? Drinking is an accepted and heavily promoted and advertised social convention. When you think about it, it's beyond ridiculous. Chicks dig it. It's cool. We encourage it. Somehow the other drugs are looked upon as being worse. News flash: They're not. There is no difference. One addiction is not more respectable than another. Would Texas have hired a heroin addict or cokehead? Of course not. Hiring Sarkisian is a mistake. It will blow up in their faces.

    The touchy feeleys will cry "everyone deserves a second chance". Sark had his second and third chances already. He is an addict. If he was to ever be a head coach, it should have been at a lower rung on the ladder, not a top five job in the spotlight, with all the pressure that comes with it. That's what got him at USC and Washington. Once again. Mistake. Texas is not doing this guy any favors. People always want a feel good story. The problem is that it seldom turns out that way. Perhaps Sarkisian is better suited in a staff position with less pressure and responsibility. But hey. It's Texas. Making bad decisions is what they do.

    At first glance, I thought this is what sark said in his press conference.

    You have to be drunk to go 9-4 in 2013 but still.

    I’d rather have a coke head coach than an alcoholic.

    And I’d rather have a tweaker than a coke head, but only for coaching and other things where you can tolerate some manic behavior for attention to detail. All other professions the coke head is more tolerable.

    But if you can control yourself and be functional I don’t care what you do. My gramps would shoot up some morphine then go do a few hours of surgery well into his 70s, and the only time he fucked up is when he died shooting up in his office and missed a heart surgery.

    Alcohol is the easiest one to spot and makes you the sloppiest. Was Sark a full blown alco or did he just party too hearty too often? There’s a big difference, but if you’re caught you have to plead the full blown alcoholic instead of Armenian party animal because then you’re sick instead of just an irresponsible dick.
