Well lets see how many national titles those teams you mention own: Bama=18. USC=11, Notre Dame=11, Oklahoma =7, Nebraska=5. We are 1 less than the worse one on the list. Winning 3 as we did between 1963 and 1970 is impressive. But then its 35 years before we win it again in 2005. Its already been 16 years since then and I hope we don't have to wait another 19 years to see another natty. As far as those programs you listed being down over the years I could care less. That is no excuse for where we find ourselves. I thought we were Texas?
I can't tell you who the perfect hire is but at the very least it must be a coach that has multiple conference championships which Sark has never done. What makes you believe that now he can? Because he was with Saban for a couple of years and won a championship? Its not that simple. The list of coaches in the NCAA that could come in and be successful at Texas is likely less than 1%. Finding that guy isn't easy for sure. That is why it has to be someone that has been able to sustain winning year in and year out and competing for conference and or a national championships.
To be clear Sark will not succeed or fail based upon what I believe, that will be up to his ability to coach at this university. As for my own thoughts about whether he is the right coach or not I can only say that I am an agnostic on the verge of being an atheist based primarily on his head coaching record and the state of this program. My conversion will not come by your ability to formulate a better argument than I can but whether or not this football program continues to crash and burn or realizes a renaissance and elevates itself out of being the embarrassment of college football into the top of the elite competing for championships. If Sark can facilitate that I will be the first to get on this board and eat a bucket full of crow. But, if we are moving on from him in 3 years I expect those that are giving me grief about not being persuaded that he is the man to stand up and do the same.
