Why would he want to come here and sit behind Arch? Also, if you've watched Clemson this year, Klubnik is part of the problem.

MBHorns has a point, but this stat is a good indicator, not a 100% fact. You can always find exceptions or anomalies. I like our trajectory, but let's see where we are at the end of the season.

I certainly hope the team can do that. We have no control of the outcome, but isn't what this board is for? Cheer, support, second guess, discuss, hope, criticize, blame, speculate, bitch and moan?

Darrell Royal was 5-5 in his third year as a head coach.
Mack Brown was 1-10 in his second year, 4-7 in his third year, and 1-10 again in his 5th and 6th years as a head coach.

Exactly... lolAll of that is okay as long as you agree with whatever I say
the next 4 games dont tell us about Sark.....it tells us if this team has the stones to rally around their QB2
You know the difference between us and the Alabama, Ohio States and Michigan fan base, they expect to win every game they feel it as an entitlement and a given
Our fan base wants to win every game, but the minute we face some adversity or the media and the bookmakers tell them its going to be a tough game , our fan base goes into there excuse and alibi mode...I think many of us on here said 11-1 or 10-2 admit it we thought those two losses would be at Alabama and OU
So why are we treating KSU like they are gonna run the table and end up in the conference championship, we are #7 and should probably be higher but that was our own fault we had OU beat, do we really think a #25 ranked team is going to beat us at home..I dont

True to a point but I would argue that a significant segment of the Texas fan base has the same entitlement idea about winning every game. Even after nearly 15 years of mediocrity. Hopefully, the current trajectory is real and not a Burnt Orange mirage.
I guess where I see the disconnect, prior to the season people were talking about our QB succession QE> MM>AM.....it was inevitable our QB1 goes down, and people hit the panic button and say bring in the Golden child....MM has a decent game as QB1, he made a few mistakes but they didnt cost us the game, and people think Arch is just going to walk on the field and start throwing dimes....if he was that good MM would have never seen the fieldTrue to a point but I would argue that a significant segment of the Texas fan base has the same entitlement idea about winning every game.

Results in year 3 are only an indicator of the overall trajectory. Building quality experienced depth in the trenches takes at least four or five years.
Obviously Sark has the team on an excellent trajectory, but I don't necessarily expect Georgia or Alabama type results for at least a couple more years.

Not my job to worry about. That is what Eltife and CDC are for. But if you think they are going to allow Sark to go 8-4 etc more then a few more years you are wrong. Sark needs to win. And he is off to a good start this year. Hope he finishes it.

Now do all the coaches who have done worse in year 3.... It is way more then 3 and all have eventually all have been fired...Also You have only named 2 coaches. LMAO.... One is the GOAT. The other had done very well. So you are saying Sark is going to be like Saban? We can all hope.

I root for UT... Coaches are hired mercenaries... Win of GTFO
what Georgia , Alabama, and Clemson did was simple, the recruited SPEED especially on the defensive side of the ball, and they had serviceable offenses that didnt turn the ball over (Clemson was the difference they had Lawrence at QB) Sark and staff are headed in the right direction, they have speed on the offensive side of the ball, and we just might become the cool place for 5* recruits to come to...every time we put a guy into the NFL a blue chipper looks our way
