Sark has the best team money can buy littered with 1st round picks. If he can't do it this year it won't be happening.

Sark, Riley, Kiffin, Kingsbury, Tom Herman (lol) are among those who've fallen into the same ego-driven and erroneous school of thought: "With the possible exception of recruiting, my elite ability to design offenses and call plays is the single-most important part of championship football."

Sark certainly doesn't fit into that group, but he does have a penchant for choking in the big game.

Politely disagree mi amigo.

Like you I'm sure, I've watched Sark's programs a good bit since he took over at U-Dub in 2009, then on to SC and now UT.

He's always had the sort of teams that lacked attention to detail. That 100% falls on the head coach.

Could Manning be so good to lead UT to the promised land?

Possible for sure, but I don't see Sark putting together a well-oiled machine like we saw in recent years with Smart, Saban and even Swinney. It'll take Manning playing lights out in a CFP run.

jmo, we shall see

Sarkisian has been a semi-finalist the last 2 years. No other coach you listed has even been in contention. That alone puts him in a different echelon. I understand the doing less with more thought behind it, but the others have been failures he has just been a disappointment. Not to mention annual top 5 recruiting classes.
 
On that list, I would say its Sark or bust next year. Any other first time winner is a long-shot.

From UM perspective: Next year’s result will be do or die for #6*. Need to threaten or the current support will attach to a flotilla on the Gulf Stream. Money will be buried on one of those shipwrecks.

Mario failing will set the program back a decade.

*If I had to add one more, it would be Heupel next (returning starting QB, D balled, easy sced, sure playoff bid)

I think people (not anyone in this conversation necessarily) have an opinion of Sark as a failure and once that’s built in it’s hard to change minds
