With Akina coming in, I'd hoped to see tight man coverage in the secondary this year, despite the loss of two monster talents to the draft. The mistakes too often made back there have disappointed me more than our OL play or anything else out on the field. Guilbeau isn't fast enough and clearly has been targeted, but Muhammad also has given up some big plays I don't feel a top CB should. And sadly, in some cases we've had such poor coverage I can't even tell you which DB was at fault for not covering well. Listen, losing to Georgia is easy to do. They're trouble for anyone not named Bama, and Sanford is a mighty tough venue for opponents. But a blueblood accustomed to playing in front of a lot of rival fans can't waltz out there and drop passes and draw flags, several of them huge in terms of possession and/or field position. We might have lost anyway, given how both teams typically play in the second half, but those early mistakes put us in a much deeper hole than we faced in the SEC title game. Anyone who thinks Arch should have been able to save us from all our glitches wasn't watching closely. He delivered some phenomenal balls to guys who were well covered. Still, I'm puzzled why we aren't moving the pocket more to take advantage of his legs. If you're going to have him drop back and read while being a sitting duck for a great D, you're basically reliving the Quinn days we all looked forward to moving past. Georgia won in part because it used Stockton closer to the way in which we should Arch.

Game Thread Texas @ Georgia November 15, 2025 - The Beginning or The End

We weren't beating that Michigan team that man handled the same Washington team that made us look special needs. That Michigan team would have pushed our defense around and bodied our offense. It would have been nice to at least make the NC game, tho. But the notion we could have won is silly message board moronity. -
Washington was out there a ton. Some of you just make shit up.

Why? We got just as good of a WR in Mosley, and we didn't need two WR portals because we weren't bereft of talent at the position like they were, who is third behind two bad asses in Wingo, even for all his faults, and DeAndre Moore in receiving. The only thing he fucked uo on was Endries. He didn't even try for Tanner Haziol (transfer from Wisconsin to Houston? Who is 56/570/5 TD's for the season, Jamari Johnson (Oregon), Terrance Carter Jr (tech 31/419/5). Out of 7 TE transfers, Endries was 4th, and if we remove him from the equation, 4 out of 6 have so far panned out, and we settled, because of course we did. Washington didn't even get a shot last night, because God forbid we have a TE out there who can catch, but Sarkisian has to follow his inner Mack Brown and play older players, regardless if they're less talented, over younger players because... Well, that's the mystery. And exactly why we aren't winning shit. He refuses to play the best on offense or even give younger players a chance because they haven't sweat enough blood for the program. He's a loser coach who gets pantsed on national TV any time he has to play a fellow blue blood or a new blue blood. He's a hand me down Mack Brown 2.0. Great recruiter, can't win it all without divine intervention, which so far we haven't seen in 5 years. -
We beat OU THIS year. We’ve beat them handily 3 of the past 4 years. They’ve been sitting at home watching us in the playoffs the past 2 years. They haven’t “blown by” us in the slightest. Down years happen. Tech will finally make their first playoff after Texas and OU left them alone ,playing nobody, and hasn’t won shit yet. Also, Tech isn’t a rival and never has been. Get ahold of yourself.

No, he wouldn't. Or if he did, CDC could structure the $3 million dollar payout as $1/ year for the next 3 million years.

Easy answer— It's about the culture and improving eaxh day. Every game is a learning experience, working as a team is the goal. Translation– I'm deflecting away from the actual problem, and I don't think there is anything wrong with the coaching. It's the players not executing what is being told, even if it's the same repetitive play call every defensive coach, regardless of how shitty they are, or the talent gap we have, knows is coming. Earlier in the year we wanted to try out a new lineup, and there were some bumps and bruises along the way, but we decided it was necessary to make a change in the lineup during the Florida game because we needed more speed and want to run IZ, but lack the proper upperclassmen to do so, so we're having to run outside zone, which leaves my hands tied behind my back. No, I don't believe it's a recruiting issue, and I don't believe we need to find guys in the portal to help out. I believe we just need to keep doing what we're doing by using homegrown players, even if in year 5 we are still having a little issues, but I will get with my staff and go to the think tank and figure something out. Kirby and I are good friends, and he dd a tremendous job. We had several plays if they went our way we could have won, but they have great defensive backs and had has over 8 PBU's on the night. Arch is still our guy and he'll continue to learn. We are not replacing any coaches. That block against Warren Roberson that killed Niblett's return is just part of the game. Everyone does it. Yes,.I understand the frustration that we rank 122 out of 136 teams in penalties per game, and we work on fixing those every practice. We're getting better. We decided to use Jack (Endries) over Jordan (Washington) because we felt like he would be more ready, even though Washington is averaging 15.6 ypc, and Endries is 8.4, but he's older, and games like these we gotta get older players out there, no necessarily the most talented. - Steve 'I'm about to be fired in 2027 or bolt to the NFL to save face' Sarkisian Aka: do nothing pussy-fest to fix the glaring issues because he knows best, and his staff does a wonderful job of recruiting and developing talent, even though the last two CFP appearances were mostly Herman recruits outside of portal players and 3 of the 5 OL. Even the most die on the hill Sark apologists have to look in the mirror and realize when you are 0-5 against your supposed peers in recruiting the last 5 years, he isn't taking us to or winning us a NC. He's Mack Brown 2.0, and it's all about the kids, while it took literally Jesus to win Mack a NC. Maybe Arch comes back like VY the next year and he starts throwing darts because it has finally 'clicked,' but as of right now we are drowning in a creek of sewage and Sark is lost. We need a HC, not a coordinator masquerading as a HC. -
The Vandy 14th year sr line got me

Can't speak on all this (different era) but Mike "magic" Davis did this in 2010 after the ISU and ou loss. I was dumbfounded. To their credit, Jaxon Shipley and Quandre were the exact opposite.

Well I didn’t do that so

losing due to being overmatched is one thing losing due to unforced mistakes and crappy preparation is another. this is why sark is so frustrating. for example, how many times this season have they given up TDs because of busted coverages and poor alignment? ok, that happens occasionally, even with elite teams. but this isn't an occasional thing, it's basically every single game. why are these players not figuring it out? at what point does sark take accountability? -
Awesome. And respect for not feeling the need to explain the joke. (Whenever I see Joseph referenced in a broadcast, I immediately break into my Sergio Dipp impression, which I’m sure irritates the hell out of my wife more than I usually do.)

More 8:30 am action, Commanders v. Dolphins (-2.5, 47.5) from Madrid on NFLN.

Lardo, Retardo and Gordo?

Come on man, you know that's a bullshit example. Arch has massively improved, but he also has a grandfather in the college football Hall of Fame, a Super Bowl/MVP winning uncle in the college and NFL Hall of Fames, and another uncle with multiple Super Bowl/MVP titles. All at his position. The rest of the offense are getting their advice from Sark and their position coaches with limited improvement this season to show for it. Only a fool would conclude Arch's improvement is solely due to Sark/Milwee and discount all the other advice Arch has from his family of star quarterbacks.
-
Not surprised. I haven't been keeping up with recruiting, and at this point I'm afraid to try.

Trey Owens got passed by a scrub from Troy. That’s nobodies fault but his own.

Does he know his own zip code though?

Its the new age of FU PayMe college athlete. They are no longer amateurs, and they think differently about shit. Its just a different sport than I was on campus. Gardere was probably getting paid in pitchers.
-
Well if we were in the Big 12 or ACC and your only goal is making the playoffs, sure. We just spent top 3 dollars on a roster and the coaching didn’t get it done so that part clearly still matters in this conference.

Seems to me Sark did a really shitty job in assessing Arch Manning's capabilities or a really shitty job in developing those capabilities. He put all his eggs in one basket and it ain't workin' out. You need a strong starting QB and a strong backup who gets plenty of playing time. The Starter needs to get us big leads and the backup needs to come in and score as many points as possible - you know, "all gas blah blah blah." Meaning not just hand off the ball a few fucking times in the fourth quarter. If the Starter can't get us big leads, he needs to sit down and give the backup a shot. When the starter struggles, pull him. The Sark/Manning combo has been a clusterfuck. Seems I saw some pretty awesome highlights outta Trey Owens, who I presume is long gone because Sark made a fucking mess of things. I wonder if anyone has heard any rumors about how many hours a day Sark works. I gotta believe he isn't willing to put in what's necessary to take us to the next level. Being a head coach isn't for everybody.

I feel he may have known this prior to his response.

how do you pronounce A$AP Rocky?

This fucking loser gets paid a million bucks a year to think about Special Teams every week. Hard to put into words how galactically pathetic it is to get punked on that fake punt, and then punked fucking AGAIN in a rematch.
