What's this?

A true convert?

He's a football coach with human weaknesses that has found a way to overcome them. I don't see how that has anything to do with taking or not taking the CU job, or any other job he might have turned down.

Take away his personal issues and he's a football coach like most others - except he appears to be better than many. Holding out for one of the premier jobs in college football should not be seen as some dastardly deed.

After some more thought, here's another take on Sark and Texas -- Buffalo Bob 02/15/2021 8:59PM

Ultimately, it seems RG wanted a more vested, loyal coach -- mrc4buffs 02/18/2021 12:39AM

I thought it was Sark who turned us down? -- JeffGerardi 02/18/2021 08:29AM

Could be.. I don't recall who RG might have offered the job to first -- mrc4buffs 02/18/2021 12:44PM

Sark was RG’s #1 choice. He scrambled for KD. ** -- hawg1 02/18/2021 8:30PM

Virtually Identical Records. Arguably, Sark underachieved at his 2 schools -- Buffalo Bob 02/19/2021 1:51PM

So RG was wrong? ** -- hawg1 02/19/2021 3:30PM

Wrong about what? CU is not Texas. Two different levels. -- Buffalo Bob 02/19/2021 9:04PM

Could Alabama have won an NC with Dorrell as an assistant? I'd say, yes. ** -- Buffalo Bob 02/19/2021 1:52PM

Means nothing. ** -- hawg1 02/19/2021 3:29PM

At least half of the board here was praying Sark wouldn't be offered here. -- Buffalo Bob 02/18/2021 12:41PM

Mac Jones improved substantially. He lost his best WR and he devised a -- hawg1 02/18/2021 8:28PM

Right, but you asked what improved his stock from 2019 to 2020 ** -- JeffGerardi 02/18/2021 2:46PM

A true convert? -- 84Buff 02/17/2021 08:46AM

Dastardly deed? -- Buffalo Bob 02/17/2021 9:29PM

To what end? -- 84Buff 02/18/2021 08:58AM

I cannot assume he overcame some very tough personal issues -- Buffalo Bob 02/18/2021 11:23AM

CU is a perfect match -- 84Buff 02/18/2021 11:54AM

KD is a good choice. Jury still out for me. Good start though. ** -- hawg1 02/17/2021 2:52PM

That's true, the jury is still out on KD. But we could support him in -- Buffs4Ever 02/17/2021 2:54PM

This was about his agent getting him a nice bump at Bama. -- SamSpade 02/16/2021 10:09AM

It worked. His O snd maturation of Mac Jones made him hot commodity this yr -- hawg1 02/16/2021 11:05AM

You aren't taking into account the level of job CU is -- JeffGerardi 02/16/2021 09:10AM

In a way, you’re making my point. -- Buffalo Bob 02/16/2021 1:59PM

You obviously don't know much about addiction and recovery -- Ribs and Whiskey 02/17/2021 12:35PM

Correct. Not a part of any recovery program I’ve seen. ** -- hawg1 02/17/2021 1:52PM

He can be humbled and still want a better job -- JeffGerardi 02/16/2021 3:18PM

But wait. Have you ever turned down a job knowing that a better one -- hawg1 02/15/2021 9:58PM
