    Chip Kelly is available could he be brought in to call the offense for Sark? 

    No, please no. There are philosophical differences that would prevent that from working out. You can't have two offensive gurus with different ideologies on the same team. All it would lead to is arguing and eventually a splintered relationship. Bring in a young dude who wants to learn.

    agreed  he can stay a horn, but not nil money, what's crazy is the lack of reps for the young highly ranked RBs.  running back is the easiest position for a freshman to play, why are we not giving them a shot??

    pass protection. Especially with this line.

    Couldn’t watch the game live yesterday. Had a conflict. Watching it this morning. For the third straight week, Sark has finally started mixing in short routes a few yards off the line of scrimmage, where they run slants against mtm coverage, or plant into an open space against zone coverage. 

    Why the hell he didn’t do this before is a mystery. Not only does this move the chains, it opens up intermediate and long passing routes, as well as the run game.

    I stopped watching the Georgia game in the second half so I’m not sure what they did against them, but with these adjustments no defense in the country should be able to stop this offense. Too bad they blew the season before figuring it out. 

    We tried all that same shit vs Georgia but drops, misses, and penalties killed us. Georgia didn't bust coverages and didn't allow explosives. We aren't consistent enough to march the field on Ga so drives ended with us shooting ourselves in the foot.

    You’re not wrong. That’s what is scary. I really hope the University was smart enough to put some specific morality language in his latest contract since he has a history of suing his employers.

    As a guy who has employed people on the West Coast and in Texas, it is significantly harder to sue successfully here in Texas under his circumstances.

    Yes. And I tried to stay out of that thread. Did make shit comments. @Thatguy knows fucking football. I knew it within 5 mins of meeting him at a surly tailgate. And ya need to do podcasts man, seriously. You know your shit. 
     

    I am just fucking frustrated. We have a lot of really good pieces in our puzzle damnit. And it’s like this year was squandered in a way it should not have been. I expected growing pains and mistakes and interceptions and that kind of shit. If this were a season of a show: I wouldn’t watch but about 3 episodes of season 5. It’s that fucking bad. We should not have been that fucking bad. It’s on Sark. It didn’t have to be like this. 
     

    he is extremely talented but it’s like he has his relationship shit last year and then I hear all sorts of shit via up to his old stuff like he was at Washington and Nansen and so on. Doesn’t he know at 51-52 he cannot have fire water? He cannot hold his fire water? So why play with fire? He doesn’t need this outside extracurricular shit like he’s in his twenties. I know Lane does all kinds of shit too. But he can hold his fire water. Sark cannot and it’s like just like with his stubbornness on play calling he cannot see that. Damn. The recovering alcoholic hurts in me but I figured out after being sober nearly four years and no alcohol that i can never ever ever drink again. And it’s like he thinks he needs that fucking edge or something. And it becomes sloppy. Like some people can drink socially and I know I cannot. He cannot. He knows what happens when he does and it’s just sad and infuriating. But when he nearly wrecks basically a $30 million dollar team because of it—it’s like wtf? No way to fix it. No assurances it can be handled next year or the next year. And it’s bleeding over into our team in a totally unprofessional kind of way. Damn. 

     

    But Nicole you understand what Sark is right? He is self-destructive. Alcohol is just a vessel for that. He is hellbound on ruining anything positive in his life, and will remain like that unless he gets help. So be prepared to see him flounder in life because he just can't allow himself to get out of his own way. Stubbing toes is what people like him do.

    defending Quinn the last two years was a fucking beat down. Just think if we had competent offensive coaches. Shit. 

    I honestly didn't get it. It seemed really obvious to me. I mean, people came to that conclusion pretty fast this year when the problems were a carbon copy of last year. The literal exact same. Can't run the football on top teams and busted protections because of project players on the line as well as asking them to do shit they couldn't do.

    i’m not swinging my dick- that would be me touting my own posts. i’m shaming the absolute morons who thought that it would be a good idea for Sark to blow up out entire football program after 7 total starts under Arch Manning. benching Arch was such an incomprehensibly studious idea that anyone who publicly advocated for it deserves all of the shame that comes their way. that some of them are *still* defending their moronic takes is hilarious.

    The problems are and have been what we are and have been asking players to do. Early in the season it was clear Arch was overwhelmed and didn't have command of the offense. I was under the impression Sark needed to change the offense to fit what Arch was good at. Most of the people thinking Arch should sit were doing so on the basis that Sark wasn't going to adjust since he hadn't up until now. So under those thoughts I can see why they were concerned. However, Sark actually has changed his offense quite considerably and Arch has responded positively. That said unless you had Sark completely changing up his offensive philosophy, something he hadn't done in 5 years here, all of us missed the mark.

    i remember when @gurt said that there was literally no downside to benching arch, and that we were tanking our season by not benching him and moving on. i wonder if he’ll just say, “yeah i was wrong” or if he wants to join to chorus of people who wanted to bench arch and now refuse to admit that that was a bad idea.

    Derka, we got absolutely smoked last week vs Georgia. If you didn't come here swinging your dick around then you shouldn't do it now. Everyone can see Arch is playing better.
