🏈 ESPN says Texas will announce Sark as their Head Coach.

[It Takes Eleven]

Two weeks ago it was shared here that the Texas AD's "vote of confidence" wasn't all that and Herman was not in a good place. Tim quipped something about Texas having it all together...a few days ago Texas came up again and it was shared they're looking at Sark.

It's not a snipe job...hunter dressed in orange, downwind, smelling like money.

A quip would be an extensive post...

My top choices would be:

1. Freeze
2. Sumlin
3. Herman
4. Tony Elliott

People need to remove Freeze from their wish list.

1. He's not going to step down from a HC position to be an OC
2. Alabama is not going to pay a buyout AND a multi-million dollar salary for an OC
3. Freeze is still on "probation" by the SEC
4. Alabama, due to Saban and the Alabama status, will have their pick of coaches who want to be here for multiple years, not a short stepping stone to a HC role.

I think we lose our OL coach as well as Sark. Nick gets to restart the band again.

I swear my response of Freeze and Will Muschamp was completely sarcastic and facetious. I have since seen Freeze mentioned seriously at least 4 times and Charlie Strong once.

The Strong option is the funniest. A defensive coach becoming a OC.

Hire the Arkansas State coach and pay him more than $30,000 a year.

Whole truck load of ‘ssuming going on there

What? can you translate that? I don't speak E-phonics or whatever that is.

Well after Sark experiences about three years of a hundred billionaire Jerry Jones' types breathing down his neck he'll regret this move. The Bama job was his had he waited for it instead his name will be mud in three or four years. I'm not mad, I'm just telling you like it is. Well back to the drawing board who replaces Saban in four or five years.

As for new OC I'd go after a the young Herman. He might be a butt like some of y'all claim, who cares because so was Kiffin. Saban ain't going to win many popularity contests outside Alabama. I can promise Herman didn't get a fair shake like Sark's not going to get. Who know's, We Hire Herman or someone else and rather Saban's opinion and his words "he's (Sark) the best assistant I've ever had under me and the assistant most ready for a big time job I've had" may change from Sark to someone else by then.

Yes I'm a bit sore on this on unlike I said above. Who knows, maybe this is a blessing like we didn't think at the time when Fran left.

Some of you would know if this is true or not! I don't think it is true, just because he was the head coach here!

I hope Sumlin stays far away from T-town.

Doubt it....

I feel the same about Herman but I also had that opinion about Kiffin. It worked until Kiffin no longer had anything to gain then his true character showed back up.

I wonder if ole Dave Radar will give up his job at Haverty's to return to lead the Bama offense

 

[planomateo]

Texas is on the hook for $24mm to buy out Herman and his henchmen. Wow.

So much for no change in covid-19 times

Will we be trolled by the jumbo package again? Hell no. Love CMS (mostly) but this smacks of awkward on many levels

That's bullshit. I'm pretty sure he was the one who handed me my food at Crystal's this afternoon.

I guess this means that Coach Saban plans on being around awhile!!!!! Find the positive in this.

I guess this means that Coach Saban plans on being around awhile!!!!! Find the positive in this.

He's told people within the UA athletic department as recently as this past summer that his plan is to coach until 2025, then revaluate. Could life events alter that? Certainly. But that is his stated position. And I agree that Sark leaving is a pretty good indication that he knows Saban isn't hanging the straw hat up in the next couple years...
