Steve Sarkisian named head coach at Texas

[hornsups]

Lake and Kwiatkowski utilize a base nickel 2-4-5: two down linemen, two outside linebackers, two inside linebackers, a nickel (slot) corner, two outside corners, and two safeties. The Huskies defensive scheme is one of the more unique and exciting ones to watch in college football. Nickel defenses have become common in college football and the NFL as the base defensive personnel to counter the spread passing attacks used.

I saw this article. 2-4-5 would be interesting. The article said they also run 3-2-6 on passing downs against high powered offensive teams. I would actually prefer that to a 2-4-5 or 3-3-5. In Texas you have plenty of defensive lineman & defensive backs. Linebacker seems to always be a toss up. Play to your strengths. The base of our defense should be 4-2-5 or 3-2-6 depending on the opponent & personnel that year. Maybe we can get more of these freak athletes like Tyler Owens and Armband Bandit on the field at the same time.

TFB reporting That’s it’s a done deal. Great hire sark! 

Might be but no other confirmation yet.

Sounds like this is the same situation as with Lanning. An offer has been extended... now we wait...

Does anybody know if he runs a 3 or 4 man front?  Does he utilize the blitz a lot, etc...?

I don't care as long as it works.

After doing research this 2-4-5 stuff is being a little overblown. His base defense is 3-4, but y'all should check out what hes done to leachs' air raid the past few years. that kind of output can beat OU

Coach K seems to run a base 2-2-2-5 (nickel) defense similar to what Gary Patterson runs. Two DT, two OLB/DE, two ILB’s and 5 DB’s. Very interesting defensive philosophy and very Sark like in terms of innovation.

So how confident are we that this is real and not a ploy to get a raise?

 

[Slimer]

Just now seeing all this.  This would be a huge hire.  I just hope this isn't another Lanning situation, but that got squashed pretty quick.  Haven't seen any other site besides TFB mention it, but also haven't seen any denials/he's staying either.  

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Still no confirmation anywhere...

Why would the head coach resign along with the 9 other coaches?

I looked up Leache's record against UW.....the most points he scored against UW since 2013 was 17.....sounds good to me.

Why would the head coach resign along with the 9 other coaches? 

Yeah. Why?

 

[DBOOK23]

super K deleted his tweet saying it was a done deal, if this falls through Texas fans will destroy TFB

 

[oldhorn2]

On the UW 247 board I read that their fans are about to riot. He is making about $1.5 mill I think.

My heart has been broken before so who knows?...
