  1. Don't agree with this assessment of GT who I've watched closely all season but time will tell.
  2. Indiana, cause I've got friends/clients that work their and I like what and how they are doing it. Georgia Tech if they make it. A top dark horse and complete underdog.
  3. A Niblett away is hilarious phrasing and sadly true.
  4. All true, but nobody would give a shit if that was happening to aggie
  5. This wasn't a just road loss, it was an embarrassment.
  6. Not really. Pretty much any HC would love the opportunity to coach at Texas. Not true for aggie. Texas desirability is not the issue, it has historically been the selection process.
  7. I think the powers that be have been putting out feelers a LONG time. As in, last Spring. I think the fanning of fire has been restrained while there was a possibility of making the CCG or CFP. Now, with the 3rd loss in a row to Kirby and 0-5 against top programs, all while being eliminated from CFP and CCG possible appearances the gloves are off.
  8. This is the key point. Couple it with the reality that in only his second year Elko is vastly out performing Sark (related to this year and Sarks second year), Indiana university is showing how its done with fundamentals, great NIL and recruiting evaluation, Oregon rinse repeating success Texas stands alone. Alone in poor resources management. No staff in the nation is doing it worse, that still has a job.
  9. I'm going to speak broadly from a sobriety perspective for a moment. The first step in change is recognizing that you have an issue. To date I've seen zero examples, not one of Sark making any notes of issues relating to the coaching. He's pretty much blamed players to this point and blatantly missed glaring errors. (Running game comment vs Georgia and onside kick comment) Once you recognize and acknowledge you have (a) problem(s) you have to take ownership of the issue(s). I don't recall Sark ever taking direct accountability for poor game planning and preparation. Third, you have to want to change. Own step 1 and 2 and decide to change. I agree with you that people can change but the hard reality, be it career, personal life or addiction is that it is extremely rare. It just is. The fact that I've seen no steps or acknowledgment from Sark on step 1 and 2 gives me zero faith that at any point he will reach 3. Perhaps that will change but I think for that to happen he will unfortunately for him have his "gutter" or "low" point. I firmly believe that point has not come and he will no longer be coaching at Texas when it does.
  10. This aspect hasn't really been talked about much anywhere but shitty coaching aside the players, particularly on defense, but really all of them seem to be edging closer towards disinterested or lack of faith. Georgia it really felt like the players not only poorly executed a bad game plan, but had no faith in it from the start. That's a very clear sign of a) "culture flaws" b) a coach losing a team or c) both Also, the glamor aspect is far better particularly if you're closely tied to an influencer.
  11. Are you familiar with the story of the scorpion and the frog? Right!!! Texas should fire him. He doesn't belong on the Texas coaching staff!! Wait...
  12. I prefer "Go suck somewhere else" but you're not wrong.
  13. This team has lacked and continues to lack fundamental aspects of game play. This team has lacked and continues to lack sound player evaluation which is not on 9.95ers but the coaching staff. (Saw a mediocre boxer knock out a nobody) This team lacks and continues to lack game plans that align to the strengths of the players. (No study of the boxer during spars for issues and strengths) This team has lacked and continues to lack player development. (Too much time on weights not enough bag and sparring work) This team has lacked and continues to lack game plans that align to the strength and weakness of the opponents team and strategies. (No jab, no body blows) This team has lacked and continues to lack the ability to put teams away despite substantial leads at various points. (no hook, no uppercut) This team has lacked and continues to lack in game adjustment to specific strategies the opponent has deployed against Texas. (No counter punch) This team has lacked and continues to lack any ownership of errors or accountability. (Blaming judges when there was a KO count off) This isn't just this year, but every year of Sarks tenure. We can raw raw our participation trophies and put them on the wall but choosing to ignore the very clear, continued and ongoing issues in favor of fear of change isn't going to improve things. Sark isn't going to improve either. He's shown what he is and always will be. Are you familiar with the story of the frog and scorpion?
  14. Mostly, his terrible take is: Texas is shitty and not Georgia or OSU. IU isn't as good as we think and pay no attention to what's happening at aggie or Tech. Trust Sark and stop complaining.
  15. Well, Texas has 2 wins by 21 or more point and SJSU is 3-7 and SHSU is 2-8. So anyone expecting a 21 point win against any team is a little silly. You bring up aggie and while the Auburn and ND games were close aggie is averaging a 13.5 margin of victory. Texas has gotten there 3 times and all of those teams are bottom of their non-p4 conferences. Indiana did win two close games against a top 25 Iowa and but Indiana's average margin of victory is 27.5 putting them at #1 in the nation. You say multiple times they could have multiple losses and you're correct. One could. I don't see anyone reasonable expecting this team to win by 21 points because they don't unless it's a non-p4 cellar dweller and even then its not certain like UTEP. Here is the biggest difference in the teams you noted in one of their close games. They both went on the road and defeated a top 10 team in ND and Oregon. Texas had 2 shots at that and got blown out by Georgia and could not put together a single sustained TD drive again OSU. Also, neither has lost to any team much less a conference cellar dweller like Florida. I'm not sure what point you were trying to make with your post but you picked the wrong teams to do it.
  16. Dunno if process was a typo for progess or intentional but either way the word progess being excluded is extremely apt and amusing.
  17. Texas is exactly 13 points from having season like Arkansas. Flip 23 point and they're leading in wins. There are zero given wins for this Texas team, MSU, Kentucky and Florida out front should have told ya.
  18. Sark sucks, his staff sucks, the players are undisciplined and some don't seem to even give a shit. I'm not in the habit of having the feels and love for millionaires who suck at their job and are completely unwilling to take any accountability when their team shits the bed on the reg. Gonna nap now, wake me up when the coaching search begins.
  19. I think he was actually focused on how to blame this on the players rather than holding himself or any of his staff accountable. Add to it, this focus on figuring out his top blame game strategy prevented him from checking out the most recent Murder With My Husband podcast. Also it was difficult crouching yesterday and who the hell can focus when you're forced to stand while not being able to watch your favorite YouTube podcast on your IPad.
  20. The word you were looking for is influencer.
  21. Or win a championship? He doesn't think any of the issues on the field are coaching rather player lack of execution. It hasn't.
  22. It's absolutely not the nature of the game for a team to look like shit in a loss. Would you say MSU or Kentucky looked like shit in their losses to Texas? Would you say USC looked like shit in their loss to us at the National Championship game? What about us vs Washington? ASU and their loss to Texas last year in the playoff? Vanderbilt in their loss to Texas last year? Frequently, one team beats another despite the loser executing their game plan as well as possible and for various reasons simply falls short. It could be athletic/talent match ups, it can be fluke occurrences and sometimes it is shittastic officiating (Sadly more common that it should be). Conversely, there are times when one team is out coached, out played and just comes out and shits the bed. That is exactly what Texas did against Georgia. That's not the nature of the game. Looking that shitty is the result of horrible coaching effort and preparation.
  23. Put that idiot on ignore. He has nothing of value to say.
  24. You're trolling or stupid. I don't care which, I'm done reading your posts.
  25. You forgot lost to Florida. Losing to Florida and getting curb stomped by Georgia is a clear indication we don't deserve a playoff spot. Anyone thinking Texas deserves to get ass pounded in a CFP game is just delusional at this point. Also, to throw fuel on the fire the offense didn't do jack shit against OSU. But sure, we should be in the CFP.
