Some College org will get an excellent coach with Herman... he lost only 3 games by a hair... Texas has standards like Alabama and Ohio State and very few can measure up.
Big win for Texas. Mismanagement of personnel, poor game planning, and major recruiting blunders (Bru McCoy, asking James Brockermeyer to walk on?) are all reasons Texas needed to make changes. Sarkisian is a better football mind and knows to give the five stars the ball in critical moments (Bijan and Jordan Whittington) instead of keeping them on the sideline. I imagine he isn’t afraid to “win a game 68-58” if he knows the offense can score every time with tempo. He’d probably start the only center who can reach block a DT and have the best RT play RT instead of center. I think we’ll win more games the way we beat Kansas State and Colorado with a coach who has good instincts.
As usual, I like Josh's overall take here. (this video was suggested to me a moment ago, so I found it intriguing to watch two years after the fact). It should always be noted regarding Sark that not only was he--as you did note clearly--in a vastly different state of who he was, effectively, but he also took over a beyond horrific Washington program (0-12 the year before he got there) and brought them from the pit of college football to a very respectable 9-4/8-5 despite his major personal issues he was struggling with. I'd like to think that after seeing him now about to begin year three at Texas that a big strength of his actually is the "peripheral" matters outside of the X's and O's. It seems, anyway, that his experiences in life the last several seasons have made him actually an ideal guy to lead in this wild, wild west era of NIL/portal. I think Herman would have struggled even more than he did had he remained at Texas. You note Herman was--at the time Texas hired him--considered to be a X's and O's wizard of sorts, but one thing that wasn't taken into account (nor perhaps could have) was the way the job seemed to change him. He went from the aggressive underdog type guy to at least occasionally being referred to as "Turtle Tom" due to his hyper-conservative play calling with even just a marginal lead. That's something, of course, that simply can't be predicted. With Sark--especially in him calling the plays, generally, we'll have to see if that same pressure changes his aggressive approach. Thanks for your videos, as always (and enjoyed your Sark interview the other day!)
I'm glad we kept the Eyes of Texas and got ride of Tom Herman. He used up a lot of good will trying to find Racism at UT, even if it wasn't there. He could have had another year maybe two but when players don't show up for the school song after the game and then convince the band not to play it he was done in my book. He was more interested in political correctness than football.
And this dude will end up like every other head coach for texas in the last however many years....a new head coach comes in, everyone’s excited, it’s the 2nd coming of baby jesus, the program continues to falter, the program never makes it back to the good ol’ days of texas longhorns football, and the program is still trash. The days of the longhorns dominating college football are over; never to return again. They should have done it right and jumped in bed with timmy tebows dad, urban meyer....he would have restored that team to greatness. Now another team will get urban for 3 or 4 seasons until his tebow syndrome returns, he says he wants to concentrate on his health, and the tumor in his head hurts him. Time of death for the texas longhorns was called years ago, let em go. Hey, why can’t we get Chi Kelly to take a try at it, because we’ve accepted the fact that he’s never coming back home to Eugene.
Sarkisian won't drink himself out of the Texas job. He's learned his lesson. Dude will bring serious offensive schemes to Texas, and ALL THAT TALENT IN THAT STATE😳

Tom Herman was an upgrade from Charlie Strong. And Steve Sarkisian is likely an upgrade from Tom Herman. Will Sarkisian be able to get Texas past Lincoln Riley and beyond? That remains to be seen.
I understand Sarks desire to get back in the big HC job, but I feel like he should have went to a smaller school and use the stuff he learned and see if he could have success for a couple years. Texas has very high expectations, if he doesn't produce better results than Herman he'll be gone too. Not many coaches in the Saban tree have been successful. In fact only Kirby Smart comes to mind.
I agree....my first thought is hide the booze when that stressful reality smacks him in the face....potentially combustible situation brewing in Austin!
We can thank the nick sabans of the world for making head coaching jobs hard to keep. Nick saban turned alabama around in 2 years so now every school think that's how it should be... If VT fired Frank Beamer early in his coaching years when he went 2-8 at VT they would be in the American athletic conference right now probably. Instead they had the longest bowl streak in college football until this year when they opted out, multi consecutive 10+ win seasons 4 acc titles in like 7 years, some big east titles. When the acc expanded VT was the Clemson of the conference until Beamer got too old to do it anymore. Patience is a good virtue to have, sometimes a coach just needs a scare to wake up like Justin Fuente this year. Last year Baylor wanted Fuente and this year VT had to have a sit-down on whether to keep him, they looked back at Beamers history, anyone else would've fired him.
What you said is ridiculous. Most every program in the entire nation would gladly fire their coach if Urban Meyer would take the job. It's nothing against Tom Herman. How many teams wouldn't go after Urban Meyer? Smh.
People forget Nebraska used to get alot of Texas kids when they were in the big 12 and big 8. It's probably why they were good in those days. Even tho they're far from Texas they played Texas and A&M and OU and Baylor and their families could watch them play a few games each year even tho they went to Nebraska.
@Octavian well, Ellinger sure wasn't too great for a lot of the seasons either. Shane had SMU ranked more often than Texas it seemed. It's a real shame they haven't been able to recruit any top shelf guys at the position, but maybe Sark can get it done if he ends up going there
Recruiting is brutal right now. UT is being squeezed in TX by A&M, OU, Bama, LSU and here and there by OSU and few others. A&M has far out recruited UT since Jimbo arrived. UT is sitting at 17th in the nation right now for the 2021 class, while Bama, OU, LSU, and A&M are comfortably in the top 10. That won’t do it.
One thing is certain. Sarkisian will not leave the room with that warm and fuzzy feeling. Given the right players, he can call a great game. He can also develop QBs, but as for all the other things that go into being a head coach at a major program, the jury is out on that. Saying the jury is out is a gracious conclusion, considering his past record as a HC and behavior.
A lot of parties, bad traffic & people/events in austin, tx. It a celebration college town/big city with big events everywhere (before COVID-19, of course). Let's hope that coach sark remains sober!!
@@tylermckenzie7838 I’m from Austin and went to UT. This place has been a shit show for years now. Better to admit it rather than throw shade on another program. Plus to keep it real, UT win in this conference, don’t equate to SEC wins.
@@SignalCorps1 I went there too, let not pretend Big 12 won every bowl game against power 5 competition this year. We don't have to because it actually happened. Unlike the SEC
TEXAS IS SPOILED PERIOD TO ALL TEXAS FANS IF SARKISIAN GOES 3-9 OR 6-6 TOM HERMAN 32-18 WILL BE GREATLY JOB SAFE THEN TEXAS FANS ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING NEXT SEASON AND I PREDICT TOM HERMAN WILL BE THE LAST WINNINGEST COACH IN TEXAS FOOTBALL HISTORY. INCLUDING A PERFECT BOWL RECORD.
All the media kept saying Steve wouldn't interview for the Auburn Job but in reality he was never offered a interview. I think texas messed up.. This guy has never even won ten games in a season.
but yet it’s so amazing because Nick Saban has been able to train or nurture all of these assistants and turn them into high level coaches. now that Sark is most likely going to be gone and Saban will probably retire within the next 5 years. if alabama can continue to be a dominant program then that’s really incredible. If they can do something like what happened at OSU with Meyer and Day.
Nick Saban is the best coach ever. Bear Bryant is one of the best coaches ever. That's why Alabama is the best program ever. Without those 2 men, Alabama is as relevant a football program as Kentucky.
Sark on the surface seems like a good hire. But what you have to understand is Sark as a head coach is not proven. He's had success with players that where all ready on bama's roster so he's not proven as a recruiter. And that's my main reservation bout Sarkisian. He didn't do well when he was USC's head coach. But I amma give him a bone cuz he's been sitting under Saban for 3 or 4 years.
Tom Herman was just a flavor of the month hire to begin with! Should have grabbed a Sonnny Cumbie ,or went after Meyer then! Let's give Sarkisian a chance he inherits a very talented roster. Hookem
I wish Sark would stay. But I am not gonna call him a traitor and all this BS. I just want him to get the team through the title game, better than ever. hereafter-Bama can reload on OC's NP.
The fact that Home Grown Talent is so easily plucked away from the Horns says more about the People at the Top making the Big decisions, than it does about any Head Coach's ability to recruit. If the Atmosphere at UT was more opened and welcoming, maybe you would have more kids like Ellingher, dreaming from a young age to play for the Burnt Orange.
I’d be surprised if any coach can win big at Texas anytime soon. It would take a tough hard nosed coach, given full reign to run the program his way which will likely never happen..... and even thatmight not be enough.
You mean like now? It’s Thursday November 30, and Texas is 11-1 and on the verge of not only their first Big 12 championship win since 2009. But possibly a berth in the CFP.
The salient point is that Texas is and has been the #1 Brand and #1 revenue/profit program in college football since like forever. College football needs some team like Texas, besides an SEC team to assert, especially without the SEC carpetbagging, and that's observing that tOSU is SEC north playing with players from Texas, Florida, and Georgia..
@@shannonmaloney3626 that's pure speculation. Also key words "this season" A single season isn't a great measuring stick of a program. Look at the last 20 years for example. Bama and LSU both have at least 3 national titles. Meanwhile Texas has one, back in 2006.
Given the inconsistency Texas has shown and given the "blame" always falls on the head coach, and given Herman knows the risks/rewards (he has earned $millions) it is hard to feel sorry for Tom, but he can surely land another job. Perhaps offensive coordinator for Bama...would that not be ironic?
Hearing you talk about Herman being high IQ off river guy but not a great program leader is me thinking Jeremy Pruitt is the exact same but a defensive guy instead.
Charlie Strong and not Tom Herman both went to smaller schools and won a lot of games. They go to Texas and both are now bums. Whats the common denominator? Something is wrong there, I don't know what but something is wrong!
The common denominator is they both had superior talent in weak ass conferences. NEVER... and I mean NEVER bring in a coach who has won with superior talent in a weak conference. They will never win at a big level because they cannot out recruit the other big time schools they compete with and they MUST have better players to win.
You people need to realize OU has been pulling players out of Texas since Switzer was there. It's not something new that now Texas is average OU pulls players it's always been that way. The other teams on the other hand are a new thing. Ohio State and Bama and teams like that used to get shown the door in Texas high schools
Herman is getting fired because he stuck with an average to bad QB. I never liked Elingher. The guy couldn’t pass. Look at what happens when Casey got put in. They blew up. I lived in Houston when Herman was there and the players hated him. He was known as a liar. There is a big problem when a bunch of guys are transferring every season. He was also getting his ass kicked in recruiting this year. Sark is going to be great. He wasn’t amazing at USC but remember he was an alcoholic. He will kill it at Texas.
Us firing Muschamp early is looking real good right about now... Not that they were going to get Beamer, but still. We at least had our choice to look at different people, which wouldn't have even happened if we hadn't been the first major program with an opening
@@jmatthews-comedy You should be. I'm a wvu fan and I think that Athletic Director needs fired. Coaching wasnt the problem. They need a spark. A brand. Could you imagine Prime Time pitching recruits to come to Texas with Terrell Owen's as his recievers coach 🔥🔥🔥
I hope not. I really like Sark. And not just because he's a good coach, but because of the character and determination he showed overcoming his own self-inflicted wounds. He's a fighter. I like that.
Why would you want Texas to be any good at all? Any A&M fan or former student wants to see the orange & white burn in despair for all eternity. You didn't go to A&M, did you?
@@tinbus149 not if what you have at Texas is what happened at Auburn. I’ve seen multiple reports that he’s turned it down now. If you can’t get control of that program to get what you need to succeed, why bother going when you can rack up rings with Coach Saban?
They just did Tom Herman a huge favor, that board regents are running the program right into the ground. Mack Brown had enough and he had built a championship level program but for some even that is not enough. It looks a lot like what's gone on in Michigan which was saved from being a dumpster fire for a full season if covid hadn't happened. There is what can happen and what is more likely, Texas has not been elite since Mack Brown.
How does sark...who is average in coaching ability keeping getting class A jobs? Who is his family, are they powerful? Average Washington, Fired from USC for being drunk at a press conference, and they were not a great team, falcons offense still trying to recover from him, bama offense shrunk when he was there the first time, this dude keep blue chip jobs
Thx for the OC Sark. I can't say this is a good hire for Texas, but I enjoyed the play calling. I guess it's time for Nick to snag another great OC. How awesome would it be if we hire Herman? LoL!!
Even though Herman has his faults (he blew the Ia St game), I actually thought they might have turned the corner finally. His defense was actually playing better most games (minus the typical 2 or 3 conf games in the wide-open Big 12). Spending 10s of millions every 4 years in buyouts so they can chase the next Saban or Meyer is ridiculous. Nothing against Sark, but what makes him any better than Herman? Herman was the young genius (literally) OC, just like Sark.
7-3 record, but that is b12 in a big down year. When the entire conference is down, texas should have a maximum of one loss and that would come from ou.
@Octavian bowls are meaningless. Are you suggesting ksu is as good as with snyder, baylor and tcu from 4 years ago, tech with mahomes 3 years ago, even ou from 2-3 years ago with mayfield and kyler?
ROFLMAO!!!!.....But Who The Hell Did His White Elephant Score Those.....lol "Points" against? The TexAss@Asstin job is a Shit Show Dumpster Fire that hasn't even started to burn out!
Although the Texas fans are complete dumb a$$e$ this goes so much deeper than what was on the field. The program is in shambles. Many former players are embarrassed by the selfish, social justice warrior players, and the way Tom Herman behaves. Even if he has some support from players, the big money donors can't stand Herman. Not to mention, the freaking athletic director had to go into the locker room to discipline the players because Herman was too big a poo$$y to do it himself.
@@KD5HIRI agree that didn't age well but your spelling needs a review. Now, I am not offended because your attempt at insult is so lame. My skin has toughened over all the years, anyway.
Oh man, I think any program in the country can become vulnerable to politics and non football oriented boosters who give money but really in exchange for power, control and influence. This guy did not forget how to coach.
You literally said they have a top 10 roster and then you basically said their recruiting needs to pick up. As of today their roster is ranked 5th in the country. To say they need to improve their recruiting makes little to no sense.
Well well. Didn’t want the South Carolina gig huh? Welp. Fired the same season as Will Muschamp. In fact, Herman probably would’ve done better at SC. Less pressure.
Hey Tom, remember a couple years ago during the Texas Bowl when you openly mocked Drew Lock? Who's got a job now and who got their stupid ass fired? Hahahahaha! Go Broncos!!!
Herman will join the Nick Saban rehabilitation coaching team at Alabama. Strong is already there. I wouldn’t mind seeing Herman as OC and Muschamp as DC at UNC under Mack Brown.
Being the head coach at Texas would be way too much pressure for SarK, I would hate to see him fall off the wagon. He's in a good place now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he took the job.
I think him coaching with saban has helped him and now that he has 2 heismen in the race that helps a lot so sure take that Texas job all he will have to do is say your the next Riggs,Judy,smith,tua I mean you think saban got those players sure but all these 5 stars have gone to bama for the oc not the hc Alabama name attached to it helps and saban but stark did some work getting and landing players wouldn’t have a hard time in Texas now with the transfer rule heck half of em would probably follow stark and everyone would just follow him to Texas it’s a big program lots of boosters just needs someone to do the play calling Tom hermon I don’t think ever did anything to the offense looks the same as the day he stepped in where as stark runs a air raid offense so it would be more like big 12 no one would stop Texas that’s why it’s a good hire and he would be dumb to turn it down!

Well at least you can fire the coach...some of these presidents didn't even deserve 2 years 🤣🤣🤣
I said from the beginning he was to soft for texas football...
Drunk Sark isn't going to be any better.
Texas is soft. Austin is soft and liberal.
Texas has a divided team cause of politics so good luck lol
How yall feelin about this shit now? @jaimeboy907 @billpatterson6249
would like to see a comparison between the feel of the program under Sark in year 2 vs the last year of the Herman era
TEXAS IS SPOILED PERIOD TO ALL TEXAS FANS IF SARKISIAN GOES 3-9 OR 6-6 TOM HERMAN 32-18 WILL BE GREATLY JOB SAFE THEN TEXAS FANS ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING NEXT SEASON AND I PREDICT TOM HERMAN WILL BE THE LAST WINNINGEST COACH IN TEXAS FOOTBALL HISTORY. INCLUDING A PERFECT BOWL RECORD.
Look at Sabans record pre bama...
All the media kept saying Steve wouldn't interview for the Auburn Job but in reality he was never offered a interview. I think texas messed up.. This guy has never even won ten games in a season.
This is exactly why Alabama is the most dominant program. We get our coaches snatched all the time and still remain the top program.
but yet it’s so amazing because Nick Saban has been able to train or nurture all of these assistants and turn them into high level coaches. now that Sark is most likely going to be gone and Saban will probably retire within the next 5 years. if alabama can continue to be a dominant program then that’s really incredible. If they can do something like what happened at OSU with Meyer and Day.
Paying players will do that
@@LordBalin that’s a lazy and sad statement.
@@LordBalin 🤡
Nick Saban is the best coach ever. Bear Bryant is one of the best coaches ever. That's why Alabama is the best program ever. Without those 2 men, Alabama is as relevant a football program as Kentucky.
Chris Petersen would of been better after Urban. Not sure if he got interviewed?
No Meyer they should have just kept him.
Wondering is Sam Ehlinger still thinks Texas is back...
That story is years old. He ate crow for that comment for 2 seasons.
Ask that question in two months.
Really, so Texas think think Steve Sarkisian is somehow an upgrade. Well, I don't remember him being great at USC nor Washington.
Mediocre with the Falcons too. The talent at Bama is making him look better than he is.
Exactly, it was a terrible more.
He’s has Texas 11-1 in 2023. So yeah he is a great hire. Thank you Mr Texas AD.
@@KD5HIR We'll see what he does once he leaves the Big-12
Sark on the surface seems like a good hire. But what you have to understand is Sark as a head coach is not proven. He's had success with players that where all ready on bama's roster so he's not proven as a recruiter. And that's my main reservation bout Sarkisian. He didn't do well when he was USC's head coach. But I amma give him a bone cuz he's been sitting under Saban for 3 or 4 years.
He's not proven as a recruiter? He gets a lot of west coast recruits like Tua and Bryce Young. Seems pretty good to me
@@andrewbowen2837 dude tua was already on the team. Lane Kiffin recruited tua lmao. Now u might be right on Bryce.
@@kareemford992 Sark was there too, he and Lane both were when Tua, Najee, etc were recruited
@@andrewbowen2837 yes wasn't Sark originally an "analyst" or some made up Saban position originally behind Kiffin?
When the Jets fire Adam Gase then Saban will hire him for OC ! If not then maybe Tom Herman ?
I think we should have kept him for another year and see what he could have done with Bijan and Casey Thompson
Nah
@@KD5HIR lol this is 2 years old Brodie
Tom Herman was just a flavor of the month hire to begin with! Should have grabbed a Sonnny Cumbie ,or went after Meyer then! Let's give Sarkisian a chance he inherits a very talented roster. Hookem
Another AD hired Herman.
and Sarkisian is going to recruit on par with Bama, LSU, and Georgia?
Not happening.
Yes
I wish Sark would stay. But I am not gonna call him a traitor and all this BS. I just want him to get the team through the title game, better than ever. hereafter-Bama can reload on OC's NP.
The fact that Home Grown Talent is so easily plucked away from the Horns says more about the People at the Top making the Big decisions, than it does about any Head Coach's ability to recruit. If the Atmosphere at UT was more opened and welcoming, maybe you would have more kids like Ellingher, dreaming from a young age to play for the Burnt Orange.
I’d be surprised if any coach can win big at Texas anytime soon. It would take a tough hard nosed coach, given full reign to run the program his way which will likely never happen..... and even thatmight not be enough.
You mean like now? It’s Thursday November 30, and Texas is 11-1 and on the verge of not only their first Big 12 championship win since 2009. But possibly a berth in the CFP.
@@KD5HIR well they have played pretty good in a glorified high school conference, I’ll give them that
This will be A Gus Malzahn hire
“Should be in the conversation with LSU, Alabama and Georgia”
Yeah..... if it’s the 1990s
When’s the last time Georgia won a natty?
@@killamindedmusic4220 Georgia has at least been in the game a few times recently. They are competing more years than not.
Texas would have curb stomped both LSU and Georgia this season
The salient point is that Texas is and has been the #1 Brand and #1 revenue/profit program in college football since like forever. College football needs some team like Texas, besides an SEC team to assert, especially without the SEC carpetbagging, and that's observing that tOSU is SEC north playing with players from Texas, Florida, and Georgia..
@@shannonmaloney3626 that's pure speculation. Also key words "this season" A single season isn't a great measuring stick of a program. Look at the last 20 years for example. Bama and LSU both have at least 3 national titles. Meanwhile Texas has one, back in 2006.
Given the inconsistency Texas has shown and given the "blame" always falls on the head coach, and given Herman knows the risks/rewards (he has earned $millions) it is hard to feel sorry for Tom, but he can surely land another job. Perhaps offensive coordinator for Bama...would that not be ironic?
Hiring Shark will be more hohum 💩.
Texas was 22,000,000 dollars too late in making this decision.
But a year early in their success.
Hearing you talk about Herman being high IQ off river guy but not a great program leader is me thinking Jeremy Pruitt is the exact same but a defensive guy instead.
Jeremy Pruitt is a great defensive coach but hes a trash can of a human being.
@@cshayes2 idk much about him personally but I do not believe he is HC material. Great DC but was not ready for a HC gig.
@@cshayes2 I have heard the same thing.
Charlie Strong and not Tom Herman both went to smaller schools and won a lot of games. They go to Texas and both are now bums. Whats the common denominator? Something is wrong there, I don't know what but something is wrong!
Delusional people
Well it's pretty obvious the problem is they suck
The common denominator is they both had superior talent in weak ass conferences. NEVER... and I mean NEVER bring in a coach who has won with superior talent in a weak conference. They will never win at a big level because they cannot out recruit the other big time schools they compete with and they MUST have better players to win.
The boosters are controlling the football program. Money talks, actually money screams and when it does everyone listens.
@Octavian neither coach had Teddy Bridgewater in their conference. Come at me with a real comparison and we will talk.
LSU ? That would be interesting
Good analysis of current Texas situation. Surprisingly accurate. As for Sarkisian...? I don't think that's a given yet. Stay tuned.
You people need to realize OU has been pulling players out of Texas since Switzer was there. It's not something new that now Texas is average OU pulls players it's always been that way. The other teams on the other hand are a new thing. Ohio State and Bama and teams like that used to get shown the door in Texas high schools
Yeah because blow U wouldn’t have won those national championships without Texas boys, yeah we know.
Herman is getting fired because he stuck with an average to bad QB. I never liked Elingher. The guy couldn’t pass. Look at what happens when Casey got put in. They blew up. I lived in Houston when Herman was there and the players hated him. He was known as a liar. There is a big problem when a bunch of guys are transferring every season. He was also getting his ass kicked in recruiting this year. Sark is going to be great. He wasn’t amazing at USC but remember he was an alcoholic. He will kill it at Texas.
Us firing Muschamp early is looking real good right about now...
Not that they were going to get Beamer, but still. We at least had our choice to look at different people, which wouldn't have even happened if we hadn't been the first major program with an opening
And I was so happy when he got canned.
I know its pro vs college but he was awful OC in Atlanta.
Deion Sanders Texas!!!!!. This was the spark you needed!!!! You just fired Tom Herman and hired Tom Herman.
@@jmatthews-comedy You should be. I'm a wvu fan and I think that Athletic Director needs fired. Coaching wasnt the problem. They need a spark. A brand. Could you imagine Prime Time pitching recruits to come to Texas with Terrell Owen's as his recievers coach 🔥🔥🔥
Dion err sorry I mean “ coach prime” 🤣
NO!
See, now I’m hearing Sark isn’t taking the job. Even as an A&M fan, I’d like to see them get someone good.
I hope you are right- stay at Alabama Sark !! Roll Tide
Any assistant coach who turns down the Texas job is too dumb to deserve it anyway.
I hope not. I really like Sark. And not just because he's a good coach, but because of the character and determination he showed overcoming his own self-inflicted wounds. He's a fighter. I like that.
Why would you want Texas to be any good at all? Any A&M fan or former student wants to see the orange & white burn in despair for all eternity. You didn't go to A&M, did you?
@@tinbus149 not if what you have at Texas is what happened at Auburn. I’ve seen multiple reports that he’s turned it down now. If you can’t get control of that program to get what you need to succeed, why bother going when you can rack up rings with Coach Saban?
I'm just glad this happened after they signed those recruits from texas signed to Bama. Camar is the only worry
No worry
Bama >>>>>>>>>>>>> texass and it isn't close. 1 Championship in 50 years. Texass isn't and never was a "blue blood". They're a facade.
They just did Tom Herman a huge favor, that board regents are running the program right into the ground. Mack Brown had enough and he had built a championship level program but for some even that is not enough. It looks a lot like what's gone on in Michigan which was saved from being a dumpster fire for a full season if covid hadn't happened. There is what can happen and what is more likely, Texas has not been elite since Mack Brown.
Mac Brown was the reason Texas started its downward trajectory over the last 10 years, give me break.
How many coaches turned down Texas during the last 2 searches. The problem Texas faces is they play in a shitty conference.
The two coaches in the Fiesta Bowl has that killer mentality and they can develop players
LSU sure dodged a bullet on this guy. He was once in the running to replace clown Les Miles before Orgeron landed the job.
How did LSU dodge anything when ending up with the Ogre 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤣
Recruiting violations and a Title IX investigation. Yep, dodged a bullet....lol
Firing Les Miles will end up being a HUGE mistake for LSU. Coach 0 is a f**king joke. LSU will face the NCAA wrath under idiot Coach 0.
Tripp, you’re trippin’..
@@morganewing304 So it's true coach O ain't well thought of in Baton Rouge?
Sweet gig, Get fired, take $15 million. Winning!
How does sark...who is average in coaching ability keeping getting class A jobs? Who is his family, are they powerful? Average Washington, Fired from USC for being drunk at a press conference, and they were not a great team, falcons offense still trying to recover from him, bama offense shrunk when he was there the first time, this dude keep blue chip jobs
Thx for the OC Sark. I can't say this is a good hire for Texas, but I enjoyed the play calling. I guess it's time for Nick to snag another great OC. How awesome would it be if we hire Herman? LoL!!
Go ahead, we beat in Tuscaloosa btw.
@@KD5HIR what. You trolling two year old comments for validation loser?
You can't do so little with all that talent and expect to keep your job
This Job Ate Herman Alive... Look At Him, Lost So Much Weight from The Stress... It Is What It Is
yeah..... herman was weak....
Herman’s ego wrote checks his ability and experience could not cash.
Even though Herman has his faults (he blew the Ia St game), I actually thought they might have turned the corner finally. His defense was actually playing better most games (minus the typical 2 or 3 conf games in the wide-open Big 12). Spending 10s of millions every 4 years in buyouts so they can chase the next Saban or Meyer is ridiculous. Nothing against Sark, but what makes him any better than Herman? Herman was the young genius (literally) OC, just like Sark.
7-3 record, but that is b12 in a big down year. When the entire conference is down, texas should have a maximum of one loss and that would come from ou.
@Octavian bowls are meaningless. Are you suggesting ksu is as good as with snyder, baylor and tcu from 4 years ago, tech with mahomes 3 years ago, even ou from 2-3 years ago with mayfield and kyler?
His team scores 124 points in the last two games and he still gets fired. Sheesh!
ROFLMAO!!!!.....But Who The Hell Did His White Elephant Score Those.....lol "Points" against? The TexAss@Asstin job is a Shit Show Dumpster Fire that hasn't even started to burn out!
Did he win at least one Big 12 championship? No, did Herman get Texas in the CFP conversation? Again… No
I'm not surprised it's the school that makes the most money if they couldn't get urban they would get the next best thing
An unproved head coach and current OC at Alabama is "the next best thing"? Really?
@@kommsofort6977 yep it's about the look for texas too much money not enough patience
Texas is always on the lookout for their next future ex-coach
I don't think they gave Herman enough time. These fan bases are unreasonable.
Although the Texas fans are complete dumb a$$e$ this goes so much deeper than what was on the field. The program is in shambles. Many former players are embarrassed by the selfish, social justice warrior players, and the way Tom Herman behaves. Even if he has some support from players, the big money donors can't stand Herman. Not to mention, the freaking athletic director had to go into the locker room to discipline the players because Herman was too big a poo$$y to do it himself.
Biggest reason is he can't even get legacy recruits to come to Texas. Mensa is getting whipped in recruiting.
🤣 Enough time you say. The man got four years. Sark already has Texas 11-1 in year three.
It’s low class to raid these guys the week before the National Championship Game. It’s complete BULLSHIT
Oh they love it. No one wants Bama to win a natty.
In Sarkisian we trust 2021
BTHtu
Whoop

The sips just can't stand our success under Jimbo Fisher! This is not the way to catch us.

@@KD5HIRI agree that didn't age well but your spelling needs a review. Now, I am not offended because your attempt at insult is so lame. My skin has toughened over all the years, anyway.
Oh man, I think any program in the country can become vulnerable to politics and non football oriented boosters who give money but really in exchange for power, control and influence. This guy did not forget how to coach.
Only to not win championships.
I don't think Steve is a good fit and i don't think it will work out any better than Tom
Jesus Loves You
What about the vote of confidence they gave him a week or two ago?
politics
@@brent4770 man that’s tough
Voting is rigged lol.
They had a re-count😁
Story goes, they only said it to make sure his recruits would sign their LOI. They never meant it.
Those boosters told him to "GET GONE!!"
I’m glade they did.
You literally said they have a top 10 roster and then you basically said their recruiting needs to pick up. As of today their roster is ranked 5th in the country. To say they need to improve their recruiting makes little to no sense.
5th on whose list? They are 17th at 247Sports.
Well well. Didn’t want the South Carolina gig huh? Welp. Fired the same season as Will Muschamp. In fact, Herman probably would’ve done better at SC. Less pressure.
Yeah, yearly mediocrity. South Carolina the Mediocrity school. Sure I think Herman would fit in just fine there🤣
No bombshell at all. No surprise here. Move along.
Hey Tom, remember a couple years ago during the Texas Bowl when you openly mocked Drew Lock? Who's got a job now and who got their stupid ass fired? Hahahahaha! Go Broncos!!!
To bad for Herman so much is expected especially in Texas
Well yeah… Texas is the #1 state school. And Texas has already won 4 national championships. Why wouldn’t Texas fans have high expectations.
Next man up!
He better stay focused for our game before he leaves .....Roll Tide
Better? Or what? You gonna call him a bad name? Really people.
@@AU9377 fuck up ... it's a figure of speech
@@coachdudesportstv Why are you commenting if your a Alabama fan. Stay off of any Texas media news. This is none of your business.
The Tide has already been rolled up , like a dirty rug.
Tom Herman to Auburn as OC?
Herman will join the Nick Saban rehabilitation coaching team at Alabama. Strong is already there.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Herman as OC and Muschamp as DC at UNC under Mack Brown.
Isn’t sarkesian the guy that got fired for being drunk at USC?
Or was that someone else?
That's him. He was known as a drunk at the U of Wash also.
Being the head coach at Texas would be way too much pressure for SarK, I would hate to see him fall off the wagon. He's in a good place now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he took the job.
7 win Sark. That is the guy.
@@PoliticallyIncorrect90 Coached a game drunk
How are your pigs doing?
He will be fired within 2yrs
No
Ah a Keystone program all roads lead to the Tower.
I think him coaching with saban has helped him and now that he has 2 heismen in the race that helps a lot so sure take that Texas job all he will have to do is say your the next Riggs,Judy,smith,tua I mean you think saban got those players sure but all these 5 stars have gone to bama for the oc not the hc Alabama name attached to it helps and saban but stark did some work getting and landing players wouldn’t have a hard time in Texas now with the transfer rule heck half of em would probably follow stark and everyone would just follow him to Texas it’s a big program lots of boosters just needs someone to do the play calling Tom hermon I don’t think ever did anything to the offense looks the same as the day he stepped in where as stark runs a air raid offense so it would be more like big 12 no one would stop Texas that’s why it’s a good hire and he would be dumb to turn it down!
This isn't a late kick cut! Stop it! It's a late kick extra!
Let's see how he is going to preform in the Big12
Herman has got to be rejoicing. He gets out of that hell hole and got paid 15 million to leave. Lmao
Texas is looking for a coach from Alabama, but he may not take the job after her received his $21 million buy out.
Drunky Brewster is not much of an upgrade.
11-1
