I doubt it.
That said, I hope Sark gleaned some "adaptability" lessons from his former mentor - Nick Saban. Coach Saban evolved with the games a few times when it looked like the game was passing him by.
Sark had better evolve - or he's on a track to be run out of Austin in a few years. Let's just say (for argument sake) that we finish the regular season 8-4 and go to the precious Alamo Bowl after starting the year as preseason #1. I've noted over the years that the Longhorn fanbase reacts most petulantly - at having their expectations built up only have them come crashing down. You top this off with a couple more 3, 4 or 5 loss seasons - with a fanbase who thinks all the resources are in place to be elite.... and he wouldn't be the first coach to be run out of town with a really good record.
I can't give you Xs and Os - and this may get shot down... but with regard to evolving, I'd say his offense had better change. Since he's been here, Coach K - and not his offensive genius has been the primary source for really good success. When we play good defenses, we don't manage 20 points. Something about his offense seems to be rather easy to defend, even with a high level of talent. The wish-bone was at one time unstoppable, and nobody this side of the Naval Academy runs it today. I hope Sark has the awareness to adapt and change a bit. Because this dog is hunting down a precarious path.
Finally, I hope Sark takes a deep-dive look at the offseason portal failure this year and reexamines how they determined who and what to go after.
