Texas fires Tom Herman / hires Steve Sarkisian

[Briancuse]

Such a Bizzare firing and hiring. Herman was 32-18 and 4-0 in bowl games. Sark isn't even that good a coach and he has baggage.

 

[FasterCuse]

If I was Texas I'd beg Mack to come back

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Sark will be there 3-4 years and then they will replace him

 

[orangenauburn]

But Doug is the HC?

Jags lost six games by combined 22 pts this year, with Minschew sidelined throughout and a sell off of talented D players last two years.

I know you are what you're record is, but they are a lot closer to putting it together than most 1 win teams usually are.

Since they clearly are taking TL (who I think will bomb), they better hire a coaching staff whose offense mimics what Clemson does to make the transition easier and more successful.

Heck, they can probably grab ETN in third round and a couple other Tigers to really smooth over the transition

LOL this is so @&$ing stupid.

FWIW, other than Ash, two Longhorn coaches have ties to our region:

Stan Drayton, the running games coordinator, coached RB's at SU in 2009.

And Herb Hand, a highly-regarded OL coach, graduated from Hamilton College.

Herb Hand all day every day

Welcome to 40 acres, hide the 40 ouncers...

There were multiple reports that said he turned down the job. Probably turned it down. Probably reloaded with a bigger offer and then accept. This guy is an absolute tool too. That fan base is gonna chew him up and spit him out

 

[Cusefan69]

Wow...thought he made the right call declining. I agree with Blue that a job at Texas won't be good for Sarks health given his battle in the past with alcoholism. Here is to hoping he has put a rock solid foundation in place to make this next step.

This hiring is so stupid.
Sark has done an excellent job with Saban being there to handle the media and all the decision making.
Alabama literally has an elite OL, elite WR and RB groupings and 5 star QBs each year.

Texas is an elite job but I don’t get what the hell they are thinking.
Sark has off the field issues from Washington and USC.

The pressure in Austin is off the hook.
Matt Campbell, James Franklin, Luke Fickell I am somebody else.

Drayton is one of the top recruiting asssistants in the country.

He couldn't get out of here fast enough ... Definitely not a Syracuse man

Texas is a top 5 job in the nation. Any person not at a blue blood HC should take it if offered.
What Texas should have done is hire TCU coach Gary Patterson.
He rebuilt TCU from a CUSA school into a Big XII contender.

He would own Texas recruiting at Texas and rebuild them.

 

[Trueblue25]

Historically bad hire for both sides.

hope I eat my words on this

If Urban Meyer turns you down you give him Herman one more year and then do a full scale search. Sark will bomb in Austin.

Has there been a good hire during the 2020 coaching search? Fans at Auburn, Arizona, and now Texas seem to be uninspired by the choices that were made.

 

[Bayside44]

So dumb. What a waste of money.

The new college Head Coach hires have been much like 2020 was, head scratchers that cost their schools boosters lots of $$$

 

[Trueblue25]

Lol Mac Brown sure has done a top notch job at unc

He's doing a good job tonight. With all of the opt-outs I didn't think they had a chance.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Is Sark going to coach the national championship game? Or will we see the first coach opt out?

Saban said he's coaching in the title game.

 

[Libero2]

Saban said he's coaching in the title game.

I would be PISSED if he didn’t, especially if I was a Texas guy. Go win a title to tack it on your resume that way when you are sitting in kids living rooms it’s an even easier sell
