  1. Unlike others, I am not trying to see the guy fired. I simply think Sark has mismanaged his roster this season
  2. Seems like the night crew had it on and popping last night Lol.
  3. You will get no argument from me. Dude isn't seeing what his guys are capable of bad or good.
  4. This brings us back to all our supposedly highly touted recruits are projects while the other blue bloods are getting guys ready to contribute. Wingo has been on campus two years and still hasn't won a 50/50 ball. Livingstone has been playing just this season and already has at least one. Sark's decision making is questionable too. You could tell Arch was told to get the ball to Wingo. We targeted him 11 times, and let him run it twice. What did we get for it? He tripped over his own feet on a screen that was blocked up pretty good. He tripped again on an end around. Dropped two passes in crucial situations, and got body slammed twice. Flip the channel and see what Jeremiah Smith does with 11 targets. Or what Wesco at Clemson looks like. Wingo is a 2 star receiver with 5 star physical ability. We also likely have better receivers on the bench, but Sark likes a small rotation. Cam Williams was the same way. 5 star size but 2 star play. Dude was constantly getting penalties. Constantly busting protections. That's the only way somebody with all his physical traits gets chosen in the 6th round. I think every tipped ball came from his side. 14-21 and driving to tie up the semi-final CFP game and this dude, like usual, completely whiffed on his man. Again, we have to stop taking these "he could be good" players, and start doing better homework. Somewhere someone thought Matthew Golden was only good enough to play at Houston. Find that guy out there and bring him in. Quit wasting snaps on the Wingos of the world who will leave by the time they finally pan out.
  5. The reason we've lost since 2023 has been Sark missing on evaluations. Period. In 2023 we had no pass rush. Sure we could shut down anyone's running game but if you just didn't waste downs trying to run on us you could throw it all over the lot. The two games we lost, OU and Washington, we got one sack. One. Penix and Gabriel dropped back a combined 76 times. One Sack. We came back and fixed the pass rush by adding Simmons. The other issue is we missed wildly on O-line and RB. Our interior O-line has been a problem since Sark got here. I don't give a shit if we sent linemen to the league, the truth is in the film. We cannot combo block and climb to the second level. Someone is always getting defeated. Always. Whenever we tried to run inside zone it just ended up resulting in a pile in the middle for the back to run into. Sark found a little something with outside zone and split zone, but as soon as we played a disciplined front with some wiggle they blew that shit up. See Ohio State, Georgia, and Arizona State. Our running backs are a miss too. Watching Baugh from Florida set up his own lanes was frustrating. He would set an aim point, and then redirect when the LBs committed. We get none of that from everyone not named Wisner, and he is lacking in the speed/power dept. Then on the off chance we do get a run bounced outside, we get holding calls. That leaves our QBs to play hero ball in big games and is precisely why we keep losing to the top 5. YOU CANNOT be one dimensional in those games and win them, and that's what we've been the last couple years. It was the same way with Quinn last year. He outplayed the opposing QB in all 3 games and still lost. The area we keep losing in is running game. If you look at the 6 losses we had the last two years, plus the ASU game we should've lost. We got outrushed 908 to 412.
  6. You are in Atlanta?
  7. I am saying the BMDs have been just as much a problem as they were a solution the last 20 years.
  8. We are where we are because we believed we were or would be better at just a few positions and that turned out not to be the case. Everyone here knows what those positions are. When we improve at those positions we will return to playing high level football. It's not that hard. And yes, it's on the coach to make that happen but for us not to have any dropoff is silly. That's what I am saying.
  9. Bingo. The BMDs being "supportive" is how we got in this mess.
  10. How has that worked for us the last 20 years?
  11. Then let's keep turning over coaches and see how that goes for us.
  12. Who are all these teams winning championships with shitty rosters? Where I am sitting it sure as shit looks like the teams winning are doing it with the most talented rosters. Unless you are Michigan and you cheat your way there.
  13. It's part of it. In sports its your job to play better than the guy in the same position across from you. No matter what that position is.
  14. You can't just buy everything you want. If you could we would have it. Some kids wanna go to a winner. My daughter just signed her letter of intent to play college volleyball. Full ride, but a lesser program. Do you know how many of her friends passed on more money because they wanted to go to a bigger/better program? Some kids just wanna be part of a winner. Geography matters too. Ohio State is the ONLY tier 1 program above I-40 from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Sark is ultimately responsible but imo we have to be patient. We've made great strides in getting back to the mountain top, but we have to start looking in the mirror and seeing the 7 that we are, instead of the 10 we think we are.
  15. That's a lot of words. Even for me. Let me see what I can do. Look dude Indiana didn't do anything special. They went and got a solid QB out of the transfer portal. Again. Three of their top 4 receivers are from the portal. Their two top RBs are also from the portal. Even then, last year they had a favorable schedule(like aggy) and got throttled by Ohio State 38-15 when they finally faced them. Then they lost their first game in the playoffs. That's a feel good story, FOR THEM. You can stay at Indiana for decades by repeating that process. Meanwhile here you guys wanna jettison Sark to the moon for being 7-3 against a schedule that included the number 1 and 5 teams, and two top 10 wins vs Oklahoma and Vandy. AFTER two straight playoff appearances. You guys expect us to just reload like Ohio State and Georgia, but don't see that we don't get the talent they do. WE think our shit doesn't stink, but the top kids see us as a tier below them. And why wouldn't they? In their lifetime Texas hasn't been good. So we get project 5 stars, instead of the ready to go kids. Cam Williams was a project, and spent his time here busting protections with regularity. DJ Campbell still isn't polished. Wingo can't catch, isn't physical, and doesn't run crisp routes. But man can he run past defenders on lesser teams on screen passes. Let's not leave out our QB. Now thinking back to when I heard the Manning really wanted him to sit and learn, I realize they knew what we now know, which is the kid was behind developmentally. Texas, Ohio State, and Georgia all replaced their QBs this season. We are the only ones struggling, and it's not just "the line". We have the worst QB of the three currently. We have the worst receiver corps of the three. We have the worst O-line of the three. We have the worst RBs of the three. We have the worst TEs of the three. I mean, we had 2 receivers go first round in the last few years. Ohio State has had 4. We got 2 4th round TEs. Ohio State had a 4th and 3rd. We got a 1st, 2nd, and 4th and 5th rnd back out the last few years. Ohio State has had 2 2nd rounders, so we got them there. But then we've gotten a 1st rounder, a 5th rounder, and two 6th round O-line drafted. In that same time frame Ohio State has had 3 1st round, a 3rd, 3th, 6th, and 7th. When we won the National Championship, USC was the talk of the town. However, if you look back we were the better team across the board from top to bottom. When Bama was winning they were better top to bottom. Same with Georgia. Same with Ohio State last year. If we wanna get to winning titles we need to find a way to start getting better players. Here are all your words back at you.
  16. So we are running play action. What do you want straight dropbacks from here on out? Are you seeing what happens when Arch throws into the teeth of a defense? I'm not in love with Sark's playbook, but I understand what he is doing. Arch is not a smart or shifty runner. He is a solid passer when things break down, but that is not the same as moving the pocket. Arch is best in scramble drill, off script situations. I thought outside of bailing on the run a little too early, Sark called a decent game. I thought we struggled to execute. Between drops, missed throws, and penalties we kept shooting ourselves in the foot. I also truly think that the SEC doesn't want us winning for a bit because the flags come out big time when we are playing their crown jewel. Same thing happened last year.
  17. Yep. The guys we've gotten that can play weren't supposed to be here. We aren't getting tier one athletes. We are getting projects. I think what has happened is we were so bad at development for so long on the offensive side of the ball that the negative recruiting is working. I mean what high level offensive talent have we put out? You can count it on one hand. Sark is going to have to get really creative to make up the difference. That's what we needed last year but he wouldn't budge on changing things up, and we could still win in spite of it. This year is not that. He has to not only get more creative offensively, but he has to pull some of the youth into the game. We stumbled on Brooks because of injuries. Who knows who the best receiver on the team is. Could be someone on the bench.
  18. We beat Pig and aggy and that's 9, plus whatever bowl game we are in.
  19. No we aren't Hobbes @scottsins is correct. We've dumbed down the offense a lot. We threw away the RPO game, played way less 12, and run a lot more simplistic routes overall. Stops, comebacks, outs, and slants are way more frequent. You are right we aren't moving the pocket but moving the pocket brings levels concepts into play and Arch has struggled with those so maybe Sark doesn't trust it. Who can say what that man is thinking.
  20. and you thought Sark wouldn't win more than seven games. Back to back playoffs, and this year being a down year, he will still likely get to 10 wins. Even after scheduling the National Champs out of conference.
  21. Indiana has only beaten Oregon. They haven't beaten playoff quality teams. They are just beating tier two level teams, which is exactly what we've been doing. We largely beat the teams we are supposed to and lose to teams better than us. Florida is the only outlier. Texas isn't sneaking up on Georgia.
  22. We are not in the same area code as Ohio State in recruiting. Their hand me downs are our starters. Anyone with eyes can see that.
  23. I'm not sure how you don't see it. Texas just doesn't get top tier dudes with any regularity Hobbes. It's not a Sark thing, it's an US thing. I mean offensively. Ohio State, Georgia, Bama have DUDES every year. Our best receiver all time? Roy Williams? Think about OSU or Bamas best receivers. Sure we've had Ricky, Bijan, and Charles. I'm not sure why it happens but we just don't get the dudes these other teams have man. Sure Sark has his flaws but something else is going on as to why we cannot and have not been able to land top tier talent on both sides of ball. We can get rid of this coach and the next coach will face the same issue.
  24. We called what we can execute and we still didn't execute. Geezus Tex you gotta call SOMETHING lol.
  25. I'm not giving him a pass but someone with your intellect shouldn't be pissed after you saw the product offered. You should've seen this coming and made peace with it a long time ago.
