relatively humorous multi page thread on this over on the rant

So, the boosters definitely run the show there. Do they force him out next year in favor of Manning?

This is just a strange story but like I've suggested Texas is still Texas.

Last Thursday, during his press conference, Sark said the one thing he had to see improvement with was from the QB position specifically mentioning the number of sacks and mistakes they were seeing. Saturday, during the scrimmage, Ewers continued getting sacked and throwing bad passes.

And he's announced as the starter. Okay. (FWIW, Card has struggled this fall as well making it look like a decision was based on potential, not what's being brought to the playing field.)

The thread title, "Sark announces..." isn't correct.

Texas brought three players to interviews. Then, just out of the blue, Texas SID John Bianco said he had a message from Sark. Quinn Ewers is the starter.

One voice for the program, right?

Hey I do not know really anything about the inner workings of Texas football but if this is true wouldn't Sark be looking for another job? I am sure it would be hard to walk away from the $$ but if he can't pick is own starting QB doesn't he have to?

I agree with you, but if some idiots wanted to pay me that much money and them make the mistakes, I'd probably keep accepting the money until I got fired too. A couple years worth of that salary is plenty of money to retire on from my eyes.

Maybe but I would think the Sark's of the world like Saban would think that way due to their competitive nature,

Oh alway I can say that would make sense is throw him in the fire, and His point would be made when Ewer is struggling and gives every reason to put Card in the game.... IJS.

I have no doubt about competitive nature, but he has had three big time jobs at this point with his stint at Alabama being highly publicized and scrutinized as well that you wonder howmany more chances he gets. That's the only reason I make that comment. At this point just take the easy cash, ha ha.

When someone falls into a job twice due to his success as offensive coordinator, takes a step back and then falls into the third for the same reason, is it reasonable to assume he knows he's falling into these positions that he isn't qualified to handle?

Perhaps. But I think the consensus with Sark & any hiring AD is that he just got of the Saban rehab coaching clinic which warrants the reconsideration. I'm rooting for the guy but if this rumor is true about Ewers then he's just screwed. And I wonder how much a big booster paid Ewers via NIL & is wanting his product on the field. What a mess.

 

[TerryP]

he's just screwed.

Since the day he accepted the interview.

I'm rooting for the guy

I wish him no ill will, but that doesn't include success at Texas.

And his history as HC isnt roses....

And the HC job ....being a good OC doesnt make your team...as HC...a great offense team...

I dont even know that he was a great OC....
Being good with Bama talent produces GREAT results

 

[rick4bama]

I heard it wasn't his to make. Also the first game will not be his (QE) first start since high school.

 

[Justneedme81]

Was he told not to take the Texas Job by Saban? I don't see Sark Surviving... If Texas manage to win 8 or 9 games.. I can see Sark moving on for "better opportunites"

..well...maybe not...after getting Manning...
May be Sarks golden blanket to protect him....

Interesting. Manning isn't ready to play right away, but if Sark get fired, or things look bad I bet Manning decommits... unlikely but if he does, I can see him going to Georgia.
