Yeah they have, for all the anger CDC has gotten this past fall, he still was able to go hat in hand and get the money for hires and buyouts. Sark is on a very friendly deal which makes me think he hires a pretty good staff. Flood at OL is a huge win for us UT fans.

Someone mentioned Starks failures at Udub, SC and the Falcons.. I get the SC ridicule, but the guy did have the #2 class in the country his one true class there. And he did inherit a bad Udub team based on the winless season prior to his arrival. Also with the falcons, his offense wasn't that bad especially considering that they had lost it's one true back his last season. The offense really didn't improve once he left either.

I get he isn't Urban or Kelly but he has the most upside (and greater risk) than anyone else out there. Think people look at the money UT is paying and automatically think that this is a bad hire because you only do that for a Meyer. But you gotta leave the money equation out of this. He doesn't have to be the savior, and as more days come and go.. people will start reading just how bad Tom did things and then understand a change had to be made.

It took him FIVE years to get to 8-4 at Washington.

they were 0-12 when he arrived there.. and hopefully he may have improved since he left the huskies 7 years ago?
