Look, Sark has some reason to be bitter towards Ole Miss, particularly Pete Golding, his former counterpart during their times together with Saban’s Alabama.
According to Wickersham, as Manning’s recruitment came down to the wire, Pete Golding, then Alabama’s defensive coordinator (who now holds the same job at Ole Miss), invoked Sarkisian’s struggles with alcoholism in an attempt to sway him away from the Longhorns while on a call with Manning and his circle of trust. Wickersham explained the moment while speaking with Pablo Torre.
“Pete, who is friends with Sark, says on this call, ‘I love Sark, he’s my best friend.’ And then he’s like oh my god, do I go there? And he did. He goes, ‘I hope he can stay sober,’” Wickersham explained.
After the call, Manning’s high school coach Nelson Stewart called Golding directly, saying “Pete, that’s f—ed up!”
Unlike the former OC he took over for, Sark made his recovery and didn’t turn it into a narcissistic showcasing of his new namaste philosophies on life. Just went back to work and got right. Good for him.
And I ask…what’s the matter with basket weaving?
Especially the underwater course? I declare!
If the NCAA had any teeth at all, ole piss would be dealing with at least one tampering violation. Golding is difficult to like. He’s their dollar tree version of Kirby.
“Pete, who is friends with Sark………”
I have to question that. I know recruiting gets gutter adjacent, but wow. I’ve been where Sark is and I’m not sure any of my friends ever stooped that low.
The only Manning that has balls is Payton, just ask all the trainers when he was at Tennessee.
And whotheheyell school thinks it’s their place to claim “akerdemic” superiority. Gimme a dayum break. Unless you’re a Service Academy, shut up. The A student at TyTy Tech would be an A student at MIT. Lil Stet said it best – “It’s the Jimmies & Joes.” The individual student not the institution determines the outcome. AND NO UGA AIN’T HARDER NOW. Taking classes in my 40’s took the same effort as in my 20’s – ZERO. The only difference is the homework is online and you actually HAVE to do it.; and magically my classes were a full letter grade higher. Who knew? Also they do +/- now and that bumped things up because I tended to be on the + side for an extra few points.
Do believe she received a big urunge kuntry football check to “act like this never happened”…
HEY-YOOOOH
i predict that within two yrs both sark and golding will no longer be employed at their current place of work.
2nd prediction, ole miss is going to be a train wreck in 2026.
I’m one the fence with your first prediction. To me, Sark seems like a “does less with more” type of coach so him staying at TX might be good for us.
As far as your second prediction, please Lord let that happen!! I think a lot of people forget Saban fired Golding a few years back.
Not a fan, but Sark may have a point. I saw a video yesterday where Trinidad Chambliss was walking at his Ole Miss graduation after being there maybe a year.
Chambliss has been in school so long he probably only needed to transfer 50% of his units to graduate after 1 year at old miss.
Ain’t buying all that BS coming from sark. With all that money. I have read about some of those recruits and ain’t no way they will ever pass all classes without some monkey business! They are soooo entitled. FTMF,s!
Playing the alcoholism card from Golding is contemptable. Anybody with a working brain should have known that gambit would likely backfire. I dunno, something shady about that guy. That said, Sark needs to shut his pie hole and go to work. Why gripe about Ole Miss anyways? Texas has taken at least two top prospects from UGA at the last second thanks to the pull of the almighty dollar. Shots at what should be a lesser program make him look petty. I mean, he’s put three decent years together back-to-back, including two final fours and he’s sort of on the hot seat. I don’t envy him. That bunch of yahoos that bankroll the Texas program probably couldn’t tell their ass from an oil well when it comes to football anyways.
Both of those assholes look like the uncles you dread coming to Thanksgiving: Sark because he’ll brag about how much money he has, even though it all came from his wife’s daddy and she’s rethinking her options if he doesn’t get his shit together and win ASAP. And Pete because he keeps trying to borrow money from everyone to get his can’t miss business of selling oceanfront timeshares in Tunica off the ground – but he keeps stopping by the casino on the way to the bank. He also takes 2 desserts and clogs the toilet.
