[General Hooker]

Because the media can be quite stupid.

Why would they pick aggy #6 in the nation, knowing the issue at Head Coach?

FIFY

No, it appears that Dykes was the guy that Del Conte wanted, but Kevin Eltlife, chairman of Texas’ board of regents, wanted someone else.

Eltlife reportedly told the Statesman that he was “involved in the process from start to finish, and Sark was always at the top of the list.”

“We were very excited about Steve from the very beginning, and I am thankful it all worked out because he’s the best man for the job.”

Almost anywhere else in the country, a program of Texas’ size would likely trust its athletic director to make the hire of the head football coach, but at a place like Texas where money is flowing from all kinds of sources, there are a lot of opinions that “need” to be heard.

My friend who worked at SMU under Sonny Dykes confirmed that CDC really wanted Sonny Dykes, but Big Money Donors wanted Sark instead

TCU is 8-3 vs UT since the Big 12 began.

If TCU had all that talent why was they picked sixth in B12. Texas third.

Why was A&M picked 6th in the country?

It's all a crapshoot. I believe in college football if you don't have an experienced QB, you don't have a shot at top 10 unless you've got a great D.

Doubt if Dykes inheirted a more talentedteam than Sark.

I didn't say more talented...

No you did not you said experenced. That could be hard to account for diference in years played.

Plus Sark let go a lot of players. Sorry for misquote.
