Remember when we could have had Coach Sark

Remember when we could’ve had Lombardi
Sark didn’t turn us down. He wanted the job but for some reason we didn’t want him.
He showed up to the interview drunk
Would he come complete with 3 years of $30M NIL? Because if so anyone could coach that
I member when we could have had Saban after ‘17 since he needed a new challenge in his life.
I mean he hasn’t done much as a head coach. Hasnt been terrible. Hasn’t been great.
He beat Bama but so did Croom.
Yep, and he rubbed one out on the zoom call. Didn’t know the camera was on!***
We had Darrell Royal. Look where that got us.***
Is that not allowed? I didn't see that in the handbook.
And sarkisian hasn’t done much yet. So dumb comparison altogether
The man eats his boogers. Call me petty, but that’s a deal breaker for me. No thanks.
Best case scenario, we do better during the Covid year, but he would have been gone when Texas came calling in 2021.
Worst case scenario, he craters and we're in worse shape than we are now.
Either way, his tenure at State would have ended in less than 3 years the same way it ended at Washington (best case scenario) or USC (worst case scenario).

Correct, he's only 15-12 at TX, and 9-9 in conference so I'm not seeing what we missed out on yet?
Before Saturday, the biggest thing of note Sark had done in his head coaching career was allegedly coaching a game while drunk when he was at USC. Texas fans weren’t that happy with him coming into this season.
Kevin Sumlin did both of those things. We could probably get him if we wanted to.
It's a long season, Saturday was all he's accomplished so far there. They were ready to railroad him out season 1 when he started 4-1 and ultimately went 5-7 and lost 6 out of last 7.
I think Sark has some well-documented problems with alcohol (I may have had some of the same myself a time or two, but I’m not a P5 head coach). That may have scared some people off-I know, if you can coach, you can coach drunk or sober, but I can see some schools wanting to stay away from that..
I wanted him. I trademarked the phrase "Coach Cutty Sark" and got 50,000 Hanes preshrunk beefy t's printed up - all XL and 2XL of course.
You are assuming that he would have taken a job like MSU. And assuming he would have, you seem to assume he would have stayed more than a couple of years.
Murry Warmath , former Head Coach at MSU, won National Championship in 1960 at Minnesota.
Good for Murry, but what does that have to do with the topic?
They almost beat Alabama last year and ended up sucking the rest of the year letting KSU and TCU control the conference. I would not be surprising this year if TX does not make it to the Big 12 championship. They got up for Bama. I can see that when you play them twice every 15 years or so. Wait until they are in the conference. We will see.
Really doubt he would have had 1 year good enough here to warrant getting such an arrangement, especially in 2020 with the no spring practice / 10-game SEC schedule.
Much better odds that he is quickly fired after not being able to get NIL pulls like Ewers, Adonai Mitchell, etc. like he has done at Texas.

So we should have hired him based on being able to start 2-0, 3 years into the future, at probably the most advantaged NIL school in the nation?
Do you think Leach / Arnett also wouldn’t have been able to beat that same Bama team senseless this weekend with the same NFL talent all over the field if they coached this Texas team?
