Kolek planning to go pro
I'm really trying to figure this one out. Sark was fired from USC for "having issues" and showing up to team meetings intoxicated.After a short stint as an analyst and very briefly as offensive coordinator for Alabama (1 game that they lost), he got he Offensive coordinator position for the Falcons (this alone makes no sense). In his two seasons there, he was a failure and they got substantially worse. He returned to Alabama as a offensive coordinator, where quite literally a trained monkey could have success as a coordinator. He did well coaching Mac Jones and Tagovailoa.That earns him a 6-year $34.2M contract at a top 10 program! All while spending an addition $24M on buyouts for the existing coaching staff. Only in college coaching (or a CEO) can you get fired for showing up to work intoxicated, fail miserably, then have one good year on the easiest job and get $34+M. If he was in a normal job, he'd be unhireable and have a hard time finding a job flipping burgers.
All he did was get in between a player going after a ref. Shouldn’t have shoved him but the player was an idiot.And recruiting was during COVID with no off campus evaluations or campus visits. The guy won the division last year. There must be something else.
Jeez. No wonder FIU has been left out of all conference expansion talks.https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/fiu-head-coach-butch-davis-will-not-return-to-panthers-next-year?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=BrettMcMurphy
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I think the truth on Sark is that he is a decent coach and very good offensive mind. As Wags says though, I think Texas is a little too much for him and he is going to be run out of there eventually. And yeah I think the Texas job is almost impossible. Objectively, only two coaches have won there since Royal left, Fred Akers and Mack Brown, and both of them slid the program into mediocrity. But that doesn't reflect the expectations of the donor base.Texas football isn't as big a deal to many recruits in Texas as people think it is. A lot of the players and their families in Texas have no natural allegiance to UT, and are just as likely to be interested in Oklahoma, A&M, LSU or Alabama.
Yeesh. At that point, you wonder why the school doesn't drop to FCS
He struck the player in the facemask and then shoved him from behind.https://twitter.com/i/status/1457140451463417861And it's apparently not the first time he's gotten physical with one of his players.https://www.si.com/college/2021/11/13/washington-investigating-jimmy-lake-2019-incident-shoved-player-lockerAnyhow, between him and Roslovich and what's going on at Cal, not a banner year for coaches in the Pac 12 North.
1. The first was not intentional, he was trying to get in between the player. The shove was uncalled for but not a fireable offense.

Justin Fuente out at Virginia Tech. Poly Tech firing him today cost them an extra $2.5 million in a buyout.
Going to be interesting to see what happens there. I think Beemer made that job look better than it actually is. Pretty remote campus, not near any recruiting hotbeds...
I'm not sure it's a great job, but there is a fair amount of talent in that region, especially the Norfolk and DC areas.Coastal Carolina's Jamey Chadwell should be the guy.
Mel Tucker, 10 year $95 million extension. LSU and USC weep.
