Steve Sarkisian New Coach of Texas Longhorns

[Roger T. Bannon]

Sark drove Saban’s Bentley and didn’t crash it. Sark didn’t get to bring the Bentley with him to Texas.

True but Texas is richer than Alabama. Texas is not planning on playing around in the SEC.

But playing around in the Big 12 was ok?? That was definitely an easier conference to win than the SEC. I hope they put Texas in the SEC West so that they NEVER get the chance to go to ATLANTA.

No, it wasn't. But they were playing by the rules more or less. I think they are going to play by SEC rules now. I think people are going to be disappointed with Texas in the SEC.

Just wait when he has to coach against the Sec. i give him one season there, and then fired

He won’t make it… he’s a 55% win coach even before coming to Texas. He drove around in Saban’s Ferrari with his Rocket Fuel roster. Not that difficult. Texas will fire Sark before they get to the SEC.

They are going to be in the SEC in one more year most likely. They will not fire him until after Year 4. They will probably be better next year. Most coaches are going to get fired after four years. They will blame the first couple of years on Herman.

If they go next year he will make it, year 3-4 it will be questionable. He’s not a good coach. His entire coaching arc has been tied to a Pete Carroll USC and now Saban. Outside of those guys- he’s not a big time coach. A little over .500. A lot will play out but Texas is mostly dreaming.

What was Nick Saban's record on his first year with Alabama?

He's a solid coach. He did a very good job at Washington and was up against it at USC. His record is a little deceiving. But he is basically in Herman's category. Maybe slightly better. He's good enough that he can use Texas' recruiting advantages to build a very good team. Some of that just comes down to luck. Once you build it, it just kind of continues. Saban is not a genius. He has just put something together and it maintains itself plus he cheats a lot. I think Sark is going to cheat a lot.

Saban is the master of bending the rules so I get your point. 100%... Sark will have to cheat a bit to get to next level. I think Texas has an 8-9 win ceiling in todays college football. They have the geographical advantage, revenue advantage and recruit pretty well but they are always struggling. Maybe it is a little luck and they haven’t had it. They have never recovered since Colt McCoy went down in the 1st half of that national title game against Alabama. Will be interesting to watch but I don’t think they will be patient enough. Those fans are Nebraska/Michigan delusional. Maybe worse.

The thing is Texas is a franchise. Why does MLB let the Yankees and Dodgers dominate the league? They do it because they think it makes them more money. Texas is that kind of franchise. The school most likely to replace Alabama at the top of the SEC is Texas. The other teams will not mind losing to them because they think it makes them more money.

It really is just all about money. Texas was a great acquisition for SEC indeed. The revenue per school will be ridiculous. Imagine being Vanderbilt or Miss State. Great check coming.

What you are saying though is the SEC will do everything they can to make them successful, I think you are right. I might eat crow on Sark.

It is not just that. It is not an even playing field. The SEC is going to be a pretty even playing field because they are all going to spend a ton of money. But you cannot outspend Texas and if you can't outspend them, you can't beat them. They can beat themselves which they will do on occasion. But in the long term, Texas is going to be at the top unless they destroy the NCAA model.

[Wrongside]

Funny that TExas is over 30 point faves v Kansas

[manny24]

whenever they figure out that casey thompson kid has no business being QB he's fukkin awful

[jjgold]

Texas will never win in state players go everywhere now

[Mac4Lyfe]

Texas skill players are great but the guys in the trenches are too soft. You need to recruit linemen from the deep south, linebackers from the midwest. Texas has too many bigs that are soft.

[stake1]

Well that was hilarious
Kansas +31 and a +$2,804 money line dog wins S/U
Texas needs to stay in the Big12 where they can have a shot at 6-7 wins per year
They will be roadkill in the Sec and Sarkisian? Yeah, no

[stake1]

Sarkisian made Big12 history. Kansas was the biggest underdog to ever win S/U in conference

[manny24]

kid is an interception/ fumble machine

[Roger T. Bannon]

Sark is going to have to pick it up. This is not what they hired him for. Herman would have won this game and had 7 wins.

The team is singing the fight song after games. That’s the most important thing in Austin right now. Winning can wait.

Well at least he is not Herman. This was Herman's fault. It's really all Mack Brown's fault. If he had not been so bad, they would not have fired him.

It’s already over for Sarkisian and he knows it.

[Demonata]

Watch out for Texas next year to be in the Playoff.

Good call. They just lost to Kansas as 31 point favorite.

[JacketFan81]

Sarkisian hasn't been the same since he quit boozing. Get the man a couple bottles of Tito's and Texas becomes a powerhouse again

[jtoler]

never liked this guy as a coach but he gets the best jobs somehow

[Roger T. Bannon]

It's not really his team yet but he is definitely not doing a good coaching job. They were really tough for a stretch. Hard to figure how they have dropped off so much. Strange team.

[stake1]

The moron has lost 5-in-a-row, 3 of those coming at home. no matter what, he cannot lose at home as a 31 pt favorite vs Kansas

[seaborneq]

Who’s team is it now?? Herman’s?? Are you related to Sark or a board of trustees member at Texas?? You defend everything about Sark, Texas sucking, and being the golden child of the SEC.

They are not his players. You can make a judgment on what Sark has accomplished when the whole team is his recruits. This is Herman's team but definitely should be better than they are playing. I think they probably have a lot of injuries. They had a lot of injuries when they beat TCU. It's probably a combination of injuries, mediocre coaching and the team kind of calling it quits.

[Roger T. Bannon]

One positive out of this for Texas is it probably increases their chances of getting the Manning kid because he knows he can come in and start.

[jtoler]

no matter wut cant lose to ku when u have 4 wins need 6 for a bowl and had 3 games left now have to win out at wvu and kstate at home. not gonna win both me dont thinks, prob wont win either. last 2 games against texas ku has put up 105 pts a team that only avg 19 pts a game

I was able to settle all debts this morning with a few phone calls. once again if youre reading this thank you Mr. Lang. how could anyone not be tailing your picks is beyond me. cant fix stupid I spose.
