BREAKING Official: Texas hires Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian as head coach

[NationalTitles18]

My supposition is that Texas people like to run their arrogant mouths and that some journalists have not learned that too often they let their arrogant mouths get ahead of reality.

 

[WylieTexasTider]

From what I am reading the Texas fan base is completely underwhelmed. Not surprising given their entitlement mentality and how they live in the past. Maybe a fax and email campaign will force them to look at someone else.

This!!!

I have heard from a large booster they are not happy about Sark and are lighting up the BOT/AD threatening to w/h financial support if they fired Herman for Sark. They want ND’s Kelly.

Also, have to imagine Charlie Strong has warned him, take that job and you’ll spend 10 hours a week with Longhorn Network AND have to attend every boosters birthday party, play in their golf tournament and attend weekly luncheons so they can brag to their friends......

I want them to have Kelly....... perfect fit

They really are made for each other.

Are you saying Chip is wrong 100% of the time.

He throws enough crap at the wall that he is right every now and then. Chip is the mouth piece for some of the arrogant boosters. I’ll leave it at that.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

I knew this was far from over. . .

And I agree that this timing shouldn’t be allowed.

 

[BearFoot]

C’mon man...what intelligent athletic department would do something that stupid?

Would be interesting if they fired him without actually having a coach already in place. That would be epic.

Not sure if this has been predicted, but here's my "gut" bold prediction. If we win the National Title, Saban retires at the post game presser and Sark is announced the next HC of Alabama. Wouldn't that be a HUGE kick in the nuts to Bama fans?!?!

FIFY

I really like Sark but good grief I might punch someone if that happened.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Hold on. So there’s a chance Sark is staying?!

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

I’m thoroughly confused. Which wouldn’t surprise my wife.

 

[bamaga]

He pretty much allude to this in his CFP semifinal press conference when he someone asked, he said he had opportunities last year that he turned down. Never mentioned this year or why he turned down the Auburn interview. I thought it was odd then , the way he answered the question . Just hopes he finishes strong in Tuscaloosa

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Hold on. So there’s a chance Sark is staying?!

Yeah, something like 50/50, depending on the source

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Hold on. So there’s a chance Sark is staying?!

Starting to sound like it. It really went fast from being "a sure thing" to not so sure to maybe not.

That is way too bold for me. My feeble mind is not ready for Coach Saban to say sayonara yet. I don't mind Sark, but let's keep Saban a few more years if we can.

Kelly might get the job...... he’s a perfect fit for them and I am sure he wouldn’t mind his free time monopolized

CBS had already reported it as a fact.

Dan Rather must be heading their sports department.

I am hoping Saban stays until at least we play his home state, but beyond that when we perfect cloning.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

 

[BearFoot]

Great REM reference

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Man. I was suppose to get a lot of done today and now I’m glued to this!
