I like Sark's staff better than Herman's.
I like his OL/DL philosophy and recruiting better than Herman's.
I like his player development way better than Herman's (Ojomo, Coburn, Overshown, Christian Jones, and more)
I like his QB room better than Herman's.
I like what he did as OC at Bama.
So why is the win/loss record nothing special so far and why has the offense had mediocre 2nd halves?
My guess is that he is having trouble being BOTH a Head Coach and an OC at the same time. That is why our opening scripts look great and then we trail off some later in the game. It feels like a bandwidth issue for Sark.
This could continue to be a problem or it could get fixed by:
Sark learning to manage it better with 2 years of experience.
Sark hires an OC and focuses on being a head coach.
Both of those solutions seem plausible and do not require another program reboot.
I'd rather have to go find a capable OC than find a replacement head coach and do a full program reboot.
So basically, to me, this is the year we find out if Sark can do both or we need to get an OC to run the offense and free Sark up to just be a Head Coach.
