Well, Cook is pretty good at getting separation.

I was mostly being snarky about calling Penix mobile and Mac Jones not mobile. Though I agree, neither of them self-sack the way Ewers does.

I get what you're saying, but Michael Penix had 8 yards rushing his senior year. He can only dream of the rarefied air of Mac Jones'... 14 yards of rushing his final season.

You don't hire a head coach because they are a good play caller. You hire them because you think they'll be a good head coach. That's true of Sark, Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, etc. Turns out, Sark is a really good head coach. At this point, he's significantly better as a head coach than he is a playcaller. For get elite, he wasn't even a good play caller for extended stretches of every game the last half of the season. Did Ewers struggle at times? Sure. Did the running game struggle against good defenses? Yep. That happens and it's the play-caller's job to figure out something that does work. That's what Sark struggled with this year. If someone else were calling plays, this board would be calling for their head. No one is hired to be a "CEO Head Coach." They are hired as the head coach and then assign roles and responsibilities to staff. Sark has chosen to call plays himself and it is limiting the potential of his team.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
This is where CDC needs to step in and have an honest discussion with Sark. Sark is doing great in every aspect of the job except the one that he should be delegating anyway.

I assume it would be like Urban Meyer - he'd hire someone to run his offense. Lane Kiffin doesn't call plays for Ole Miss, but it's his offense. My hope is that Sark would be removed enough from the play calling that he could help problem solve when things aren't working. Though you're probably right, he doesn't sound like he's ready to give up play calling.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
That's not holding, that's spooning.

ND had two o-linemen making their first starts of the year against Penn State and were missing their best DT. Penn State had to shuffle their o-line mid-game. Texas was probably the healthiest semi-final team.

Totally agree. I'm hoping Sark learns from this. It seems weird to say that Sark is killing it as a head coach and punching himself in the dick as a playcaller.

I was responding to someone saying Sark just needs an elite QB to win a championship. Will Howard isn't an elite QB. Neither is Riley Leonard. Yet one of them is going to win a championship. Because OSU and ND have better coordinated offenses than Texas.

PK is bad ass and deserves a massive raise. Tonight should put to bed any "but who have they played" excuses.

Elite like Riley Leonard? Or Will Howard? Ewers was the best QB in the quarterfinals.

He needs to hire an OC.

At this point, Sark is a less douchey James Franklin.

His numbers aren't bad, but Cam Ward had to play out of his mind to keep that team afloat. They need superman and instead they are getting a dude who wasn't exactly mr. clutch to begin with, coming back from a significant injury and likely playing behind a bad o-line.

2025 Orange Bowl - Notre Dame vs. Penn State
I don't know, that second PI was a massive swing. It gifted PSU 7 points in a tie game with less than 6 minutes left in a game where points were hard to come by for both teams. It took spectacular chokes by both the PSU offense and defense to offset that call and lose the game in regulation.

Announcers rarely get confused for rocket surgeons, but damn. It's like both guys got concussed during the two minute timeout. Sean McDonough couldn't figure out why ND would throw the ball in their hurry up offense. Then Allar could be trusted to pass the ball. Then ND shouldn't try to score a touchdown. And that was only a minute or so of game time.

Not gonna lie, I'd love to see aggy reactions to playing at Ohio State.

Didn't he say that before the second Georgia game too? I'm not sure that means what he thinks it means.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Is the jury still out? Our top 4 guys all improved over the course of the season. Broughton has been a big surprise, Collins is consistently playing up to his potential, Norton and Lole were shaky early on, but play better just about every week. Heck, Baker got some decent snaps out of Sydir Mitchell. Bledsoe and Bryant didn't work out. My understanding is Bledsoe just wasn't big enough. I'm not sure about Bryant. The biggest question marks at this point are January and Hills.

That's a slim 340.

2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Pedo is contractually obligated to piss down their leg against OSU. But I'm not so sure about ND. OSU and Texas have more talented rosters, but Freeman is really good at focusing on what his players do well. That's not always the case with Sark or Day.

If only there were some objective way to judge how they would have fared against Texas... I guess we'll never know.
