Steve Sarkisian named head coach at Texas

[NEOkHorn]

I gotta say, I don't care for the co-DC thing. It seems like a set up for confusion or worse. Nevertheless, I hope it works.

Less of a concern imo when both are working the similar positions ILBs & OLBs. Never liked the DL coach as running game coordinator and the DBs coach as the passing game coordinator.

I love this guy

I disagree with you. Urban Meyer not coming to Texas has nothing to do with not wanting Stoops. UT fans not wanting Stoops shows the intelligence of the UT fan base.

The same fan base that called for DKR and Greg Davis to be fired? 

My point was Texas hired this man to coach and he should be allowed to pick his staff. He has worked with Stoops for the past couple of years at Bama so maybe Stoops, like Stark, has changed?

Too late now so lets hope for the best.

I agree with you 99% of the time. The exception is Mike Stoops. I don't think the fans stopped Sark from hiring  him. It probably had more to do with the BMDs.
 
I heard they told Sark that Zack Arnett didn't have enough experience for the DC. I like the PK hire better, however if Sark wanted Arnett than he should be able to hire him.

School admin/professors were calling for DKR to retire because they thought he had become too powerful and paid too much. GD was a completely different circumstance which included the fans;

The only issue with DKR is that like Mack, he seemed to have gotten bored with the job. His best friend, Frank Broyles had moved on from coaching because recruiting had become a total bagman farce. DKR was sorta leaning that way. The big issue I always thought was Fred Akers had become the hottest coaching commodity in the country and if we didnt get him from Wyoming, someone else was going to. Unlike Mack, I think DKR gladly stepped away.

Kwiatkowski also had experience against the Mike Leach-Lincoln Riley offense when he went against Sonny Dykes and Graham Harrell.
 
 
 
2014 California averaged 38.2 pts per game PK gave up 7 pts
 
2015 California averaged 37.9 pts per game PK gave up 24 pts  Texas gave up 44 pts against Cal
 
2016 California averaged 37.1 pts per game PK gave up 27 pts   Texas gave up 43 pts against Cal
 
 
2019 USC averaged  32.5 pts per game PK gave up 14

Tejas, sometimes you just have to inform a man that he's trying to hire Satan's brother.

The three-yard hitch hurt Greg Davis just like LBs standing in the gaps hurt Carl Reese.

Guys, I'm not a Stoops fan at all since I sat through all 3 of those ou beat downs in Dallas. My point was Stark should be able to hire who he wants as long as that person hasn't done anything illegal. If Urban or Saban stated they would come to Texas but only if Stoops was on their staff, do you think the BMDs would have said no? Something tells me they would have let bygones be bygones. 

Again, we got who we have and I'll support them.

Part of it, IMO, was that Stoops hasn't coached LBs since Rocky Calmus was around. The Big 12 is a very different place these days.

If there are other, good options for Sark, why do you go there?

I agree with tejasrulz. I think that Sark probably has a better idea of position coaching in college than I do. I’m not sure what really goes into it. What mix of recruiting, coaching and relationship goes into it. I assume he’s better at it than us or the BMDs.  

 

[TexCoyote]

After learning more about this Jeff Choate, I’m really happy with the way it turned out. He seems like a really good coach/recruiter/developer etc...

Honestly this complete staff looks great to me.

They all look good on paper now we need results on the field. Bring on spring practice reports.

I never thought M Stoops did anything illegal....I just thought he had no business coaching defense it big time college ball.....He was the mastermind of some of the worst defenses in OU history....

I can see that you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Now beat ou into the ground.

To be fair.... and the best.

Granted.... the bad defenses were more recent.
