With Saban's comments and the back and forth, a lot was put out to the public. The spotlight was cast on aggy recruiting. They had to back off from what they did.
They have a lot of talent on campus, gotta hope that a good number of those guys transfer out.
But what can they do? The buyout on Jimbo is monstrous. And while they would get rid of Jimbo by ponying up the buyout, they'd be the laughing stock of college football.
Part of the reason it could get real messy! Want him gone but don't want to pay him off
Look at Sark's buyout. If he keeps losing,the big cigars liable want buy him out & when do say goodbye to over 50% recruiting class. So you got money & recruits.
It is my belief that Texas is in bed with Sark for at least 6 years; the program cannot afford to continue to have the coaching turnover it has had the past decade; it is the reason why there are high profile coaches that will not touch Texas with a ten foot pole and the ones Texas will attract are looking for a major payday like Tom Herman got.
Totally agree with this.
Over the years, I’ve noted the death spiral:
not sure about 6 years but it it is definitely more than 3. I think Sark knows the game is won and lost in the lines and it will take time to recruit and train OL and DL.
Bummer.
