I have no way of knowing who else they pursued, but Texas should at least try to poach successful coaches from other P5s. Maybe Campbell at ISU? Franklin at Penn State? Fitz at Northwestern? Maybe Fickell at Cincy? These are guy who have been successful in their most recent gigs.
Sark did bring UW back from the grave, so his resume is not empty. Like I said, anyone who Texas hires inherits a great situation, so they have a good chance.
Orange Bowl turning into a good game. Iâd play for UNC any day, just to wear the baby blue and white. Love their colors, especially when they trim it out in argyle. Have a dream to own a classic truck in Carolina Blue and white.
Meh. I donât think you can judge the P12 on Oregon or CU. Both were big underdogs walking into their games playing teams that had a full season to prepare.
On the other hand, the ACC got two spots in playoff and is 0-6 in bowl games.
Truth is, there isnât much difference between all these coaches. If they can recruit and interact well with players, they are qualified. And at Bama, they can recruit. Itâs not like some of the coaches know secret training techniques that others donât know about.
And former HCâs of big schools or NFL guys are used to managing the big egos of 5* and 4* recruits - to continue to develop them and refine their talent to get ready for the league.
Iâm more worried if these guys coming in and trying to implement the older style we just evolved out of pre-Kiffin. They are Saban/Belichick guys so hopefully they learn and evolve like those two do.
