Texas has 52 players who were rated as 4 stars or higher as recruits. Kansas has one. And today, the Texas Longhorns lost to the Kansas Jayhawks.

Bad Luck, Bad Players or Bad Coaching maybe all three.

Aranda was 2-7 in his first year and he was left a loaded team when Rhule left for the NFL.

Rhule was 1-11 in his first season at Baylor. Then 7-6 the 2nd and 11-3 the 3rd

Did either lose to Kansas?

Gotta admit this one was good

Strong lost to Kansas in Lawrence 21-24 in 2016. 

Herman barely beat KU at DKR 50-48 in 2019

Sark obviously lost 56-57

This is much more than coaches.  This is a trend for many years spanning different coaching regimes.

Entitlement/mentality/lack of focus……

top players get to Texas and feel like they’ve “arrived”

Winning is hard.lol

Seriously though, I'm not sure Sark can turn it around or who actually could. I am convinced however, that he has a better chance of doing so than any of the 3 that preceded him. I'm also convinced that this crap show is several years in the making and the work of more than the current regime. As you so eloquently pointed out.

113 points lit up on that scoreboar!. The cannon blasting all night. Fabulous weather and a totally entertaining college game. I woke up in my Texas t-shirt and still bleed orange. I don't hate this team, but they will get some well deserved tough love from me. What a great sport.

How about Woman’s basketball. That’s what happens when you hire somebody that is great not someone that you think can be great.

Football a putrid game. Mens basketball , putrid game. Volleyball wipes the floor with oklahoma. Women's basketball upsets 3rd ranked Stanford. Guess we know who had the balls to carry the longhorn torch this weekend.

Winning is hard? Getting over the hump is realy hard.

No matter what, I love "seeing" proud parents.

Sark will get some time to fix this but all we will be doing is pissing in the wind and wasting time. I suspect this all comes to an end in November 2023.

Sark is proving to be exactly who is record says he is...

Utterly amazing that we have gotten worse each week since the second half against Oklahoma.  Oh what could have been.  Lets be clear, this is Sarks team whether its his recruits or not.  When you sign that multi-million dollar contract you accept what is with the football program.  The question is, if we took Urban Meyer or Nick Saban and gave them the same team and let them coach at Texas would we be 4-6 with the wheels falling off of the bus?  IMO, no.  In a previous post the most concerning thing is that Sarks resume as a HC does not support those that think he is the right man for the job. IMO Saban and Meyer have the ability to bend the wills of people to think, react, and work their way. I don't know if Sark has that ability. We will give it 3 years and if he stays true to his record we will then move on to the next guy. 

When was the last time that we all said we were beaten by a team that has not won a road game in the Big12 since 2008?  Enough said...

Texas definitely has a player problem but you cannot expect players to succeed when the play call gives them no chance to succeed. This a  garbage scheme.

Bijan had a dislocated elbow. Done for the season. Brooks is week-to-week with his shoulder. Josh Thompson done for the season.

Tired of hearing the argument of coaching vs players vs talent.  IMO a football team is a reflection of the men that are leading and teaching them, the coaches.  Texas has talent, not Bama talent, but not Kansas talent.  Talent alone does not win games as we have just seen.  Coaching is the difference.  Why do you think Bama has been elite for so long.  That's right Nick Saban's coaching.  Everything you see from Alabama is what Saban has instituted.  You could say the same of Urban Meyer minus his dubious ethics.  So IMO it is coaching because it is their responsibility for the scheme, development, depth chart, discipline, culture, etc...  As the head goes so goes the entire body.

You may be correct about Saban and Meyer but please correct me if I'm wrong but I do not remember either of them actually being interested in taking the job. In fact, names like Peterson, Fickell, and even Fleck weren't interested. Given that, who do you suggest as a better alternative? There is NO question that Sark has a lot to learn but I do not see the next Saban or Meyer walking through the door anytime soon so what are the alternatives at this point. Not trying to be argumentative bc I'm frustrated as well. Just asking some open ended questions and seeking some kind of answers like a lot of folks.
