Ok, so he should have the same winning % here then?? Is that what you're saying? I did my research, he won 64% of his games at Texas. That's a fact.Quote:

Lane Kiffin is now kicking our tail and pushing to make us irrelevant unless we make changes. Sarkisian is the apple of the eye of the college football world even though he's won a fewer percentage of his games at Texas as Tom Herman did. Clay Helton will probably get another shot at a P5 job after this season.Quote:

You were talking about him specifically and it won't be possible no matter who the coach is. We just won't be a player for him.
I don't disagree with that. Losing multiple high profile commitments, especially Ewers a top QB and lifelong Longhorn fan, his host players recruiting against him with prospects during visits, players going to the AD about him, disconnect with him and the players, admin and boosters. It was all external. Except maybe the Oklahoma losses probably had a little to do with it.Quote:

Not implying you'd have long term 10 win seasons, but you can make the playoff when everything lines up.Quote:

He is a guy who, with is IQ level, will embrace the use of analytics.Quote:

I'd take Tom Herman in a heartbeat. He has won at a high level. He has a big time personality. We would be lucky to have him.
