We are the Joneses - The Official Texas Longhorns Athletics Thread

[Numpsay]

How are all these big schools getting GOD-LEVEL coaches and we ended up with SARK??

We weren't going to pay anyone $10 million a year unless their name was Urban Meyer. And I don't think Sark is all that bad. I mean the scheme on offense was there, the execution was not, largely because we had a lot of jags. He needs to figure out his defensive staff though.

1.) Evan got 200K+
2.) Where are our boosters?
3.) Is CDC cut throat enough to build the infrastructure needed to recruit in the $EC?
4.) Keeping Coleman was an all brakes, no gas move.
5.) I'm pissed

Damn Evan Stewart to Aggie sucks

 

[Numpsay]

Zac Evans is going in the portal, you think Quentin Johnson will also?

Nope Samples will lock him in. Jordan Hudson just committed to TCU.

*300k, and in this case we lost the bidding war, so its not like we sat on our hands.

The clowns running this program should be going after Ewers, whatever the cost.

2 more substantial NIL deals in the pipeline too. Now we just need these recruits to realize the real money is in the NIL instead of the bag game.

Nahlin says there's talk UT might hire Gary Patterson as an analyst. But Nahlin is done with PK & wants Sark to hire him as DC:

Hire Gary Patterson

There is actually some talk that he’s in play as an analyst. That would be a waste, but better than nothing.

Hire him. Hire him if its Co-DC to handle the secondary. Hire him if it’s to handle the whole defense.

This is a soft program. I have no clue if GP’s ego would work with Sark. Or if Sark’s ego would allow for GP. But there needs to be discussion and soon.

I’m not kidding. This defense is embarrassingly soft, not individually, but by scheme.

Texas needs to make changes now. Sark needs to re-evaluate his S&C program. Three guys rolling off the field at the same time is one of the softest things I’ve ever seen.

They need a Muschamp and it isn’t going to be Muschamp.

Bring in GP and allow him to do the work that isn’t being done by the head coach and S&C coach. Or the DC.

Three guys falling off the field because gravity rolled them off. My god.

Texas better make changes.

Doubt GP would come here but there has to be a change on defense or fans will not show up next year and it will be a countdown till Sark's firing and then the recruits will stop answering his calls.

Its just odd that some one with the resume of PK would spectacular fail here. I think the issue at hand is a combination of things. We certainly don't have the players to run his scheme, and I don't know if we have the time to wait for him to get his guys in. Also have to wonder if there are issues with philosophy among the position coaches, the majority of them were hired for Muschamp, and lastly I think our players in general are just soft. Not sure it has anything to do with S&C most of them play with no aggression. But I think having a head coach type at DC would help Sark tremendously.

Bobby Burton says Gary Patterson ain't coming:

Spoiler

Based on information I’ve received, we should not expect Gary Patterson to have any involvement at Texas next season. The defensive-minded head coach was ousted by TCU at mid-season and there were some rumors Steve Sarkisian might lean on Patterson to help shore up the Texas defense in the off-season.

While Patterson has a great deal of respect for Sark, privately calling Sark’s offensive mind the best in the Big 12 and even going so far to say he likes him personally, and Patterson and Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte, who formerly held the same position at TCU, have a good relationship, I’m told Patterson is not looking to move away from Fort Worth at this time unless it’s as a head coach elsewhere. The purple in his blood runs deep. In fact, despite his departure from on-field coaching, Patterson was in his office this week trying to help TCU coaches with their gameplan against Iowa State.

Could things change over time for Patterson? Sure.

But I was told not to expect anything where Patterson would be directly involved with UT.

So he got fired but still working

If I get fired midseason they can kiss my ass.

Nahlin says Gary Patterson to UT is back on:

Spoiler

Rumblings of Gary Patterson joining UT in some capacity

IT is hearing rumblings Gary Patterson will join Texas in some capacity.

The fabled TCU coach was let-go midseason after choosing pine box over parade. That was a very Gary Patterson way to go out.

As soon as he was out speculation emerged regarding him ending up at Texas. The connection of course being his close relationship to Texas AD Chris Del Conte. Those two are so close many suspected Del Conte would never leave TCU while Patterson was still the head coach.

Given his first in-season freedom in eons, Patterson was soon spotted in Austin. Sources quieted that down by saying there was nothing to Patterson and Texas. We were tracking it just in case, but then @BobbyBurton heard Patterson coming to Texas was very unlikely.

This is from Bobby this a.m.: “A mea culpa on my part. Two and a half weeks ago, Coach Patterson told someone I trust that he wouldn’t be going anywhere next year, that he wasn’t “moving.” That being said, things can and do change.“

Indeed, at the time I also heard it was just too close to his TCU tenure for Patterson to assume a role at Texas, a school he relished in beating while captain of the Horned Frogs.

As Bobby said, things can and do change. It probably didn’t sit well when SMU’s head coach was assigned Patterson’s office.

But still, Gary Patterson and Texas?

Yesterday IT asked someone extremely close to Patterson if they could see him at Texas. His response, “Yes. He would take a DC job where he thinks he could win national championship.”

Say what you will about UT’s chances to win a National Championship under Steve Sarkisian, but IT knows Patterson thinks highly of UT’s head coach.

If this does happen, two first-order questions remain: 1. Is this something Sark truly wants, and 2., what role would Patterson assume?

1. We’re not sure about Sark’s feelings but we know he’ll have the money to get it done if he wants to. This is the big question remaining.

2. We’ve heard potential roles being everything from analyst to being in charge of the whole defense. We think analyst is highly unlikely and would be a foolish move.

To be clear, we have heard of no current defensive coaches being removed and it’s conceivable Patterson‘s know-how in the back-end could be married to Pete Kwiatkowski’s defensive front.

Patterson would also bring some much-needed toughness and aggression to the program, not unlike Will Muschamp in 2008.

It remains to be seen if this goes through, and exactly what his role would be, but the title is certainly accurate.
