Perhaps they know more than you at this point and you'll know soon enough if you have a little patience. Grown men calling high school seniors dumb for hyping up their recruiting class is a bad look.

Maybe he was talking about errrrbody but UT.

I don't think anyone expected Denver Harris to come here. What was unexpected was him picking aggy, although that was pretty much assured two weeks ago when Bama took another corner and told Harris to look around.

Mike Roach has a CB to Texas for him, granted it's low (2) but it's still a CB.

Dude is a snake oil salesman. Let’s face we are talking about kids who can barely drive are making these “announcements”.

Alabama had a decade of bad football and was turned around. Clemson had never been more th an an afterthought and now they’ve had an enviable decade.  Texas will get it turned around at some point. We have a lot of chicken littles on this site. 

If by chicken little you mean a realist, than chicken little I be.  Alabama had Saban, Clemson had Dabo.  As I have stated numerous times on this site Sark is barely above .500 as a head coach for his 8 year tenure.  Can it be turned around?  Of course. Is Sark another Saban or Dabo?  I would say don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.  If your record is who it says you are than we might have to wait for the next hire to see if the power brokers at Texas can finally eat it right.

Here is Dabo's first 4 years at Clemson



Please tell me at what point you would have fired him in 2010... halfway through or waited until after the "Car Care Bowl"?

Saban I understand but was Dabo thought of in the same vein then as what he is now? I thought he was ready to jump ship or be forced out roughly around the time Mack was delaying his exit at Texas.

He also wanted to bring his full staff to Texas, and we told him no (at least that was the rumor).

Patterson was such a smart AD.

The big assumption is Sark is another Dabo.  Considering Sark has had 2 other HC gigs which didnt go well I would tend to believe it is unlikely he will be another Dabo.

Steve Sarkisan is 51-42 in 8 years as a head coach.

If you are who your record is then Texas would never had taken a chance on a coach that went 6-5-1 (year 1), 6-6 (year 2), and 7-5 (year 3) in his first 3 years at a major university. That coach would be fired after year 3.

It kind of makes you wonder why LSU hired some bum named Nick Saban. ? Maybe he learned a little and got better. ?

Exactly.  Why there are so many that seem to deny this it is the truth is beyond me.  I am hoping that this changes for Sark but hold no illusions that it will.  Maybe the optimists will be right this time but for us pessimist we have to see it before we believe it.

Any way someone can put this recruiting thread back to recruiting?

No... the hope is that Sark is another Dabo (or any other coach in the history of the football that eventually figured how to be successful). The actual list of coaches who struggled early in their HC career to find later success is rather extensive. 

The assumption is that after a mediocre first stint as a head coach, he's learned from the feet of the master Saban in how to run and build a successful program. 

It's not about optimists or pessimists. The realists know that rebuilding a program normally takes a while, and bellyaching over early struggles is nothing but sound and fury signifying nothing.
