Sark's post-game press conference

This guy dispels any notion that the decision makers in P5 football know any more about program building than do I.

Dead serious about that statement. You could drop me and most (not all) people who post on this board into any AD job and do just as well or better.

The proof? I absolutely would not have hired this guy into one of the top jobs in the game. I can say that with absolutely certainty. And many of us would not have promoted Lake into the JC job either.

UW hired Sark when he was a hot ticket coordinator.

USC hired him away after a run of 7 win seasons

Texas hired him after his drunken meltdown and stay at Saban Rehab

That makes Texas the big winner of the stupid hires.

Its the positive of all these openings. Doesn't matter if "better jobs" are open while UW is in the market. Most teams will fuck up the hire including UW

Someone may get lucky

USC will take Franklin
LSU wants Riley which opens up OU
Florida probably stays on Mullin
Cristo to Miami
FSU guy saved his job

Lake to Oregon

Hardly any Sark-doubting posts. All the posts have to do with the players being wusses, and how Sark needs to clean house of all the kids who grew up getting participation trophies and have no pride in Texas. No thought at all that maybe the players are a reflection of the guy leading them.

Also on dawgman there was a Sark thread where someone dared to suggest Sark might want to start drinking again. Of course this was followed by a million sanctimonious replies of "how dare you. He had a DISEASE that he did not bring on himself and had no control over"

All in all, you gotta hand it to the guy. He has continually failed up by convincing people he bears no responsibility for the shit left in his wake

An efficient market in coach hiring would be short-term contracts with “cause” defined to include shit like losing to Kansas, and loaded heavily with incentives. In reality you need to make and fuck up like 4 or 5 times before landing the right guy.

But this market is not efficient because the decisions are made within the org structure of academis institutions that are built for, you know, academis. If the game were managed or at least influenced by anything close to a truly efficient market, we wouldn’t see what we see. The contracts would look much different. Given the overall track record of most head coaches, it is absolutely insane that anybody ever signs these guys to contracts with big buyouts. It makes no sense.

It's a disease just like driving 150 mph on residential streets is a disease, eating until you weigh 300+ lbs is a disease, or any other negative thing that feels good or seems fun is a disease.

It's an insult to people with actual diseases that they have no fucking control over and the narrative that it is a disease is a cop out.
 
Sounds like Sark needs more East Dillon players and less West Dillon country club players
 
I had fun watching that game. The guy is completely beaten down. He ain’t turning that around. It’s over.

Agreed.

What's fascinating is that they are paying not just him but TWO coaches huge money currently.

It's a state school. Even in Texas, can they really pay THREE?! So I would guess they have to keep Sark for the forseeable future. What a disaster.

So Herman's Head was 7-3 and that was on him, but Sark is 4-6 and it's on the players?

Sounds like Griswold stopped at the right place to peddle his "Grand Slam" bullshit

what i saw on surly horns was very different. that place is ruthless
 
The paused image of that video made me sad for a second. Then I remembered what kind of human being Sark was and how much he’s getting paid and laughed.

You speak for me very well. That's the mini-process I went through as well when I saw him speaking. Seeing the freeze frame in the OP stirs it back up just a bit, and then I remember that it's actually quite funny (aside from the part where that con-man is going to get paid more to be fired than I will make in my lifetime). Justice would mean he ends up going the Tom Sizemore (actor) route, spends his millions on drugs, drinking and screwing hos, and is found living in a back alley in a few years.

Fuck Sarkisian. He's had enough fun for many lifetimes. He can go away permanently now.

I like to blame the kids for not having PRIDE in Texas football to cover incompetent coaching it’s what I like to do
