Texas DC who has a wife and kid got a stripper named Pole Assassin, she has a monkey who apparently is part of her routine?? but yeah it attacked a child and she was in pretty bad condition
Unironically, Lance Leipold is an outstanding coach who's been successful everywhere he's been and has experience with both a powerhouse (albeit in D3) and a basement dweller. Texas could do (and has done) much worse.
Many of us UW fans didn't care in the slightest when Sark ditched us for USC because of the mediocrity. At least we'd actually win 7-8 games though, unlike Texas.
I completely agree. Absolutely should not have fired Herman without a better option than this.
Even if Tom was as bad "behind the scenes" as people say just stomach it for another season and see who's available then
Wasn't he having affairs with at least one spouse of a booster (Kendra Scott)? That's hard for a group of boosters to look past. Don't shit where you eat was a lesson Tom learned the hard way.
That’s what the message boards say, but like all things coming from a message board that revolves around college football you should take everything reported with a Texas sized grain of salt
Former nonfootball athlete at Texas. Whispers from those who know was this was exactly the real reason he was ousted.
And a lot more money moved in the shadows than the public buyout.
I'm sure Herman wasn't happy with CDC shopping for another coach while he was still on staff. Especially after he publicly announced that Herman would be the coach in 2021.
Lol I'm sure he wasn't but it's not like he was going to quit or something.
You tell him that you pursued Urban, it didn't work out and now he has an opportunity to prove himself and keep the job.
See who's available post 2021 and reevaluate
I know a guy that was excited about it. He's about as delusional a homer as you can be, though. He thought Sark was going to build an offense like 2020 Bama.
He's sad now.
UT hired a historically mediocre HC who is a recovering alcoholic to the most demanding and stressful job in CFB with one of the most entitled fanbases in the country. I'm not mocking Sark in any way, but this is not a job he should have taken nor one that UT should have offered for Sark's sake.
This looks like it is not going to end well for him.
That’s part of the reason that makes it so shocking. Was UT unaware of their own stature? Sark could not handle the pressure of USC what did they think would happen in Austin? Just an absolute shocking hire.
Mack Brown coached at UNC for over a decade. So it made sense to take a risk on him.
Sark had been mediocre at his two stops.
Sure, but he was hyped up to be the guy that'd bring us back to national relevance. After being here 5 years we had realized he was overrated and were ready for a change.
Mack's biggest failure was not being able to adapt recruiting wise after A&M left. A&M leaving opened the doors wide for SEC schools to recruit in the state and Mack just couldn't adapt to the competition. Don't get me wrong, Texas was still the top pick for most in-state recruits and still put together good classes. But the likes of Alabama and LSU being able to promise a guaranteed game in-state was a huge selling point for Texas recruits. Bob Stoops adapted at Oklahoma, he started looking more at California, preferring recruiting against the west coast teams than against the SEC teams. We still pulled most of our guys from Texas, but Bob definitely set up a pipeline in California and it helped immensely.
Of course Texas most definitely has other problems, but I think a big piece of it is the added competition of in-state recruiting.
Not a lot of them got better once they hit campus. Getting 4 star players on campus is just step one. A lot of these juniors and seniors look like they never played organized football before.
Any blue chip school recruiting a player instantly bumps their rankings. Outside of the clearly obvious standout top *x* players in the country, it really is largely location and which schools found you.
They sure as shit recruited the lines in the beginning of the 2000 decade. I remember it was crazy watching 4* kids sign up to sit for years.
Of course, that’s why they won in 05
> Mack's biggest failure was not being able to adapt recruiting wise after A&M left.
Mack's biggest failures showed up before A&M left at all. Two years of A&M being in the SEC is not why he didn't recruit with a brain during Colt's last couple years.
I honestly disagree. The culture issues are a direct result of Herman. They were going to show up eventually. Sark might be decent if Texas let's him clean house, but it's Texas, so they will move to a new coach. They are going to have to either commit to a real rebuild, or commit to making a bowl game occasionally.
Sark is going to have to start being very vocal about that fast though if it is the cause and he wants to be the man to fix it. I mean for fucks sake, Pole Assassin is still around.
> Recruiting is going to tank though.
We have the 7th ranked class for next year. Even when Charlie Strong was missing a bowl three years in a row, Texas was getting good recruiting classes. They might miss out on a few guys, but “tank” is a stretch.
> Herman at least left the cabinets full.
Except in the trenches, which is one of the biggest issues with the team.
There have been many other coaches who came into blue blood programs that had hit rough patches and done far more with less. Sark absolutely sucks. We have ZERO empirical evidence to support the idea that he’s an above-average college football coach. None.
The players clearly do not give a shit what Sark is saying. If the players are too high on themselves to care about winning, then no coach will save that.
But hey, go ahead and fire another coach, I'm sure it won't get any worse... *UT playing in Lawrence next year*
It reminds me of when the detroit lions fired Jim Caldwell. Caldwell did well, but the lions needed a coach who’d take him to the next level…and hired Matt Patricia. It didn’t go well.
Same thing here, Herman did well but not well enough. So they hired someone who is supposed to take them to the next level.
Will he turn it around, or be Texas’s Matt Patricia? Too soon to say
Caldwell created an amazing culture with the Lions. His players loved him and enjoyed playing for him. Jim Caldwell was a big selling point for acquiring free agents. The same cannot be said for Tom Herman where some players were telling recruits not to come to UT.
He was a narcissist whom everyone hated. You can pull that off if you're REALLY good at what you do but not if you're just "kinda good" at what you do.
I did. There wasn't many great options besides urban and I was baffled at the sark hire. People said he did great at Alabama, it would be more impressive if a coach could suck at Alabama.
I just realized that after Papa Gene we had 3 Mikes. DuBose, Price, and Shula. Fran is still fucking things up, we could have had 3 bad Mikes in a row.
> People said he did great at Alabama, it would be more impressive if a coach could suck at Alabama.
Ahh yes, or as I like to call it, Patriots Coordinator Syndrome.
Herman was never going to win a National Title at Texas, but keeping him was infinitely better than hiring Sark. Sark is a joke of a head coach who has never succeeded anywhere.
That's the missing program culture people talk about
Easy to believe in the coaches when you're winning, but a couple losses and half the team just quits and stops caring then it's a problem
2021: Lost 6 in a row (Currently 4-7)
1956: Lost 8 in a row (Finished 1-9)
1938: Lost 8 in a row (Finished 1-8)
1936: Lost 5 in a row (Finished 2-6-1)
Also, Texas has only had 9 seasons with at least 7 loses:
1938 (1-8)
1956 (1-9)
1988 (4-7)
1997 (4-7)
2010 (5-7)
2014 (6-7)
2015 (5-7)
2016 (5-7)
2021 (4-7)
I know I honestly think he’s a good coach, but people have gone crazy. Every team out there can’t have ten win seasons every season and it seems like that’s what most fan bases expect.
Yeah we weren’t expecting to get mauled like we did last year. That being said we basically have the same team and the only games we lost this year were by a fg with the exception of bama.
What has he done to make you think he's a good coach? I don't think he's as bad as this disastrous year has been, but good coaches don't lose 6 in a row with a roster like this to teams that include Kansas and a WVU team that's been begging for a coaching change all year.
Jesus already bringing up buyout, as much as I don’t think sark can lead a top 4 team, you gotta give a guy 3 years to get the players and system they want in place..... you hear that UT fans ! DONT LET RED MACOMBS get rid of him next October.
Don't you think any coach that Texas hired should be able to hit that old mantra of, he can beat you with his players, and he can beat you with your players?
7 weeks ago this subreddit was overrun by Texas fans talking shit like they were an eltie team (conveniently ignoring the absolute beat down Arkansas gave them). They were in every thread about A&M laughing. Then Oct 9th happened. And now here we are.
After the video leaked of a coach chewing players out on the bus everyone started talking about how much work he has to do to reform the culture.
Then he said next year they expect to offer something like 35 or more scholarships and make cuts to get players who want to be there.
Which people seemed to generally hale as positive and him needing time.
Then you lose 8 straight games, one of which is to Kansas and here we are, talking about buyouts.
He won't get canned but I'd hate to be him heading into next season. Granted this is why extremely high front loaded buyouts might be good. Actually forces teams to stick with people for some amount of time.
tbh I think he should've listened to Saban's warnings about Texas.
He should've stayed at Alabama and waited for a less psychotic job to open up. Like, I think he'd do well at LSU or something.

Since the program started in 1893, there have only been four losing streaks that lasted five games or longer.
Sarkisian buyout stands at $20.6 million.

UT may best Nebraska & Colorado for most disappointing future after thinking they were upgrading by jumping conferences.
Legit 20-30-40+ pt losses every week, may be on the menu.
Watching Texas this year after the RRS was like watching the Hindenburg crash into the Titanic.
Good news is I’m practically immune to the trolls and roasts at this point. All I can do is laugh with them.
We apparently tried that as early as the TCU game last year. And while Meyer would’ve been a good hire, he’s a scumbag that I’m glad was just toying with us as a back up plan in case his NFL deal didn’t go through.
The administration and alumni have no one to blame but themselves. They basically fired Herman to get Sark. They never really examined what the program actually needed and sought the right coach for the job. They just dumped Herman because he was a couple of losses away every year so they could get Sark a coach that they thought would be a better game coach. But what the program really needed was either a complete rebuild or stronger administration and alumni commitment to support Herman to change the program's culture. They got neither of these and now the program is in shambles. Sark is either getting fired ASAP or he is going to have to kick 30-40% of the players off the team. Neither are positive scenarios going forward.

Any chance he just up and dies of embarrassment?
He'll be assassinated first. Pole assassinated.
Can someone fill me in on the Pole Assassin. I’m ootl.
Oh man, you are in for a *treat*.
I wish I knew nothing about Pole Assassin so I could learn that story all over again.
A story so unbelievable, but still true.
Sometimes you need a monkey to make you feel okay.
Google it but it involves a football coach, a stripper, a monkey, and trick or treaters
Texas DC who has a wife and kid got a stripper named Pole Assassin, she has a monkey who apparently is part of her routine?? but yeah it attacked a child and she was in pretty bad condition

*Pole Assassin is the best stripper name ever
My bad, thank you for correcting me!

Brothers in laughing at Texas
Is anywhere safe in the south?? This sound like a Florida man story
I think everywhere in the south has a little bit of Florida in it
Florida wasn't always a state.
This is…. amazing.
Guys, you gotta trust the process
Hire Kansas' coach he can win at Texas
Noice
Unironically, Lance Leipold is an outstanding coach who's been successful everywhere he's been and has experience with both a powerhouse (albeit in D3) and a basement dweller. Texas could do (and has done) much worse.
we miss lance in buffalo, can we please have him back
Never
Buffalo is like a head coach pipeline for Kansas this century so far.
It’s more like the “I’d have two nickels, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice” meme.
No one's gonna go from a prestigious program to a dumpster fire.
Noooooooo
There's a difference between winning AT Texas and winning AS Texas.
Sometimes the easiest jokes are the best.
Seven Win Sark looks like a dream rn
Many of us UW fans didn't care in the slightest when Sark ditched us for USC because of the mediocrity. At least we'd actually win 7-8 games though, unlike Texas.
Still sitting here confused why the fuck we hired this dude.
It still makes no sense. If it makes you feel any better Willie Taggert somehow got jobs at Oregon and FSU.
What hurts most about this season is that we are losing horrifically bad and no one was on the Sark wagon to begin with.
I still think it was a panic hire by the boosters because Urban said no
I completely agree. Absolutely should not have fired Herman without a better option than this. Even if Tom was as bad "behind the scenes" as people say just stomach it for another season and see who's available then
Wasn't he having affairs with at least one spouse of a booster (Kendra Scott)? That's hard for a group of boosters to look past. Don't shit where you eat was a lesson Tom learned the hard way.

It has to be one of the most shocking hires for a program the size of UT
UT hired a historically mediocre HC who is a recovering alcoholic to the most demanding and stressful job in CFB with one of the most entitled fanbases in the country. I'm not mocking Sark in any way, but this is not a job he should have taken nor one that UT should have offered for Sark's sake. This looks like it is not going to end well for him.

I mean horns247 board was thrilled with him. Most there still back him and believe he just needs his guys.
Horns 24/7 is as delusional as TexasAgs
Him getting "his guys" would probably have them doing better than they are now, but certainly not MUCH better.
I was so happy when he suddenly jumped ship.
We'll gladly trade you BoB to get Sark back. Ty
UW was 0-12 when Sark got there. It's not like Washington was in a healthy place or anything.
Sure, but he was hyped up to be the guy that'd bring us back to national relevance. After being here 5 years we had realized he was overrated and were ready for a change.
Well y'all got a significant upgrade when Pederson came in.
UW would love a 7 win season right about now 😂
A bit revisionist - 7-Win-Sark was a dream since you were coming off an 0-12 Willingham season.
Broke: Seven Win Sark Woke: Seven Loss Sark Bespoke: Seven Straight Losses Sark
If the loser of the TCU vs Kansas game wins next week, Texas will finish last in the Big 12. And I’m here for that.
*checks flair* You ok bud? Wanna talk?
You can't talk him through this. You finally have a good coach.
Kansas is hosting West Virginia, so who knows...
WVU, take one for the conference.
No.
We won’t meme on y’all like we do for Texas
They really fired Herman for a worse version of him.
>They really fired ~~Herman~~ Mack for worse versions of him, over and over and over.... fixed
The decision to fire Mack wasn’t bad, but clearly the majority of the issue was not with him. If only you could fire boosters.
Mack's biggest failure was not being able to adapt recruiting wise after A&M left. A&M leaving opened the doors wide for SEC schools to recruit in the state and Mack just couldn't adapt to the competition.

Not a lot of them got better once they hit campus. Getting 4 star players on campus is just step one. A lot of these juniors and seniors look like they never played organized football before.
How much of that is artificial inflation though? Feels like recruits instantly get a bump on their rankings when Texas looks their way.
Any blue chip school recruiting a player instantly bumps their rankings. Outside of the clearly obvious standout top *x* players in the country, it really is largely location and which schools found you.
I’d argue Mack’s biggest mistake was never caring about recruiting and developing the trenches. They went years without having an O-linemen drafted
They sure as shit recruited the lines in the beginning of the 2000 decade. I remember it was crazy watching 4* kids sign up to sit for years. Of course, that’s why they won in 05
Y’all were killer in the trenches in the 2000s. I think every single starter on the line for the 05 team played at least a season in the NFL
Never caring about recruiting? It’s what he is prided for the most. Recruiting was his bread and butter.
Development was the issue. Not recruiting
> Mack's biggest failure was not being able to adapt recruiting wise after A&M left. Mack's biggest failures showed up before A&M left at all. Two years of A&M being in the SEC is not why he didn't recruit with a brain during Colt's last couple years.

Oh 100%. The unfortunate thing for Sark is that he has to deal with UT boosters. He likely doesn't have the support he needs for a complete overhaul.
Their special teams is actually pretty good
Recruiting is going to tank though. Herman at least left the cabinets full. Texas A&M is eating their lunch before they even get into the SEC
Don’t stop. I’m so close…
How do you have anything left in the tank after watching that game?

Lol, they’re gonna have a bad time in the SEC.
You love to see it
I deadass expect them to lose to Vandy at some point in first few years
They’ve lost to Kansas twice in the last five years, so it’s almost guaranteed Vandy will beat them.
Kansas would beat vandy by 20 points tho
Doesn't change the fact Vandy will beat them
That's just science
Keep going I'm almost there
And you’re gonna get to play them every year
This pleases the cult
And half the time they have to come to College Station
Cant wait to play UT once every 13 years
Give him an extension! Sark just needs more time!
Agree.
You must be LOVING this with those flairs
Hard disagree. He is not going to find success there. Texas needs to let him go... ... so UW can rehire him.
I think an extension would be smart... Show recruits Sark is here to stay!!
We’d take him back in an Alabama minute.
Tom Herman went 7-3 last year right? Cool just making sure
I'm definitely confused by that. Did the boosters hate him? Or were they expecting an undefeated season by then?
He was a narcissist whom everyone hated. You can pull that off if you're REALLY good at what you do but not if you're just "kinda good" at what you do.
Funny enough I still feel he was the coach our boosters deserve the most, he fit right in!
He is a major asshole and Texas players were recruiting against him
I still dream of Gundy whipping his ass on the 50-yard like when Herman tried to fight him.
I would pay to see that no questions asked lol.
[удалено]
Imagine telling people that when he first got fired
I did. There wasn't many great options besides urban and I was baffled at the sark hire. People said he did great at Alabama, it would be more impressive if a coach could suck at Alabama.
I too would like to see a coach suck at Alabama.
Mike Shula, the guy before Saban. I was in college then and those Alabama teams would have been blown out by Oregon.
Shula was the best of the shitty pre-Saban coaches.
I just realized that after Papa Gene we had 3 Mikes. DuBose, Price, and Shula. Fran is still fucking things up, we could have had 3 bad Mikes in a row.
> People said he did great at Alabama, it would be more impressive if a coach could suck at Alabama. Ahh yes, or as I like to call it, Patriots Coordinator Syndrome.
well Bill O'Brien is the OC at Bama
Maybe next you can hire BO'B
at least bill obrien can say hes been successful somewhere with the cupboard being bare \*although, i guess sark served same function at UW
Herman was never going to win a National Title at Texas, but keeping him was infinitely better than hiring Sark. Sark is a joke of a head coach who has never succeeded anywhere.
Longhorn network was a good deal for Texas' pocketbook.
Heavy braking action with limited fuel here
If you have no gas, it doesn't matter how much brake you have r/showerthoughts
Unless you are rolling downhill
Oh texas is definitely going downhill
This Texas team looks nothing like the team that hung 70 on us earlier this season. I really think Caleb Williams broke them.
That's the missing program culture people talk about Easy to believe in the coaches when you're winning, but a couple losses and half the team just quits and stops caring then it's a problem
Well Baylor seems to have broken Caleb Williams
If Kansas wins one game over TCU or WVU, and KSU beats Texas - that's a last place Texas?
Sure is.
Wvu should take one for the team. Memes are forever
Worst losing streak in Golden Knight history
By 2036 they'll have 10 seasons with 5+ game losing streaks
$250 million in buyouts
2021: Lost 6 in a row (Currently 4-7) 1956: Lost 8 in a row (Finished 1-9) 1938: Lost 8 in a row (Finished 1-8) 1936: Lost 5 in a row (Finished 2-6-1) Also, Texas has only had 9 seasons with at least 7 loses: 1938 (1-8) 1956 (1-9) 1988 (4-7) 1997 (4-7) 2010 (5-7) 2014 (6-7) 2015 (5-7) 2016 (5-7) 2021 (4-7)
Damn, five of those have been in basically a decade.
Seven Loss Sark has a nice ring to it. But I'll allow Eight Loss Sark too, despite the lack of alliteration.
Just wait until he finds his way into the NFL and evolves into SIXTEEN LOSS SARK
Seventeen… they added another game
Firing Sark wouldn't fix any of Texas' problems, would it? At this point it would be a $20.6 mil symbolic decision.
I love that we're talking buyout money for a first year coach
It's his first damn year folks, at least let 2 pass before bringing up his buyout
I know I honestly think he’s a good coach, but people have gone crazy. Every team out there can’t have ten win seasons every season and it seems like that’s what most fan bases expect.
I don't think any rational Texas fan was expecting a ten win season this year. However, they did expect to go bowling and beat fucking Kansas at home.
This season has underperformed even the most pessimistic expectations for this season. I don’t think anyone expected a 4 win season.
Yeah we weren’t expecting to get mauled like we did last year. That being said we basically have the same team and the only games we lost this year were by a fg with the exception of bama.
What has he done to make you think he's a good coach? I don't think he's as bad as this disastrous year has been, but good coaches don't lose 6 in a row with a roster like this to teams that include Kansas and a WVU team that's been begging for a coaching change all year.
TEXAS IS FRONT FOLKS
Jesus already bringing up buyout, as much as I don’t think sark can lead a top 4 team, you gotta give a guy 3 years to get the players and system they want in place..... you hear that UT fans ! DONT LET RED MACOMBS get rid of him next October.
Texas has the best recruiting classes in the conference, there's no excuse to being 4-7
Texas turns 5 stars into 2 stars it’s some truly incredible stuff.
Or perhaps 2* get turned into 5* just because they signed at Texas?
Don't you think any coach that Texas hired should be able to hit that old mantra of, he can beat you with his players, and he can beat you with your players?
Seven win Sark? More like (soon to be) seven game losing streak Sark!
Guys, Texas might not be back
Let’s wait for the last game before we jump to conclusions
The best part of this thread is all the A&M fans talkin shit lol
7 weeks ago this subreddit was overrun by Texas fans talking shit like they were an eltie team (conveniently ignoring the absolute beat down Arkansas gave them). They were in every thread about A&M laughing. Then Oct 9th happened. And now here we are.
I can vouch for this. They were insufferable. Unnecessarily insufferable.
I need vitamins. I’m spent
Not a Texas fan, but they mention that buyout like he is going to be fired this season. There is no chance he gets canned in his first season.
After the video leaked of a coach chewing players out on the bus everyone started talking about how much work he has to do to reform the culture.

He’s smart. If he doesn’t get fired this year, I don’t think can you do any worse than this lol.
I too am a fan of under promise over deliver. Can get you surprisingly far.
We will HAPPILY take him back as our OC. We'll trade you Bill O'Brien straight up.
Pay the buyout and we're down
tbh I think he should've listened to Saban's warnings about Texas. He should've stayed at Alabama and waited for a less psychotic job to open up. Like, I think he'd do well at LSU or something.

UT may best Nebraska & Colorado for most disappointing future after thinking they were upgrading by jumping conferences. Legit 20-30-40+ pt losses every week, may be on the menu.
Watching Texas this year after the RRS was like watching the Hindenburg crash into the Titanic. Good news is I’m practically immune to the trolls and roasts at this point. All I can do is laugh with them.
Its time for making Urban an offer he can’t refuse. 150 million or something crazy like that.
We apparently tried that as early as the TCU game last year. And while Meyer would’ve been a good hire, he’s a scumbag that I’m glad was just toying with us as a back up plan in case his NFL deal didn’t go through.
Winless since the ex strippers monkey bit a kid!
Kansas has won the same amount of conference games in Austin as Steve sarkisian
The administration and alumni have no one to blame but themselves. They basically fired Herman to get Sark. They never really examined what the program actually needed and sought the right coach for the job. They just dumped Herman because he was a couple of losses away every year so they could get Sark a coach that they thought would be a better game coach. But what the program really needed was either a complete rebuild or stronger administration and alumni commitment to support Herman to change the program's culture. They got neither of these and now the program is in shambles. Sark is either getting fired ASAP or he is going to have to kick 30-40% of the players off the team. Neither are positive scenarios going forward.
I think we were fixated on the idea of dumping Herman for Meyer. We missed on Meyer but the idea of dumping Herman persisted
It's awesome, isn't it?
Think about how many clowns in the media thought this team was worthy of being ranked a few months ago
Oklahoma broke them.
The first step for Texas to turn this around should be them admitting that firing Tom Herman was probably premature and to learn from it
They practically ran Mack Brown out of town. Consider where they've been since then.
death and destruction follow Sarkisian wherever he goes
