  1. We shall see. The advantage we have is that we don't really have an OC with Sark calling the plays, so there's room for Marion to grow here more than elsewhere if he can successfully collaborate with Sark and maybe coach from the booth at some point.
  2. You also get the advantage of an extra semester that doesn't burn eligibility, making it easier to grad transfer should you need to.
  3. My theory on the bodybuilder types and fragility is that their muscles seem to grow stronger much faster than the ligaments that they're attached to. Kirk Johnson seemed to have the same problems Whittington has had. Whittington definitely needed to re-evaluate his regimen.
  4. Yeah, unless we run it out of the Wildcat. I could see some trick go-go plays or a go-go package with Roshon as a Wildcat QB.
  5. I think that's the reaction from the defense the GoGo is supposed to provoke.
  6. I mean, you'll know for sure when you see it. The primary look is the QB in the shotgun with two RBs both standing next to him on the same side. It's like a flattened wishbone.
  7. They had it before then, I remember it as far back as '98. A guy I played intramural softball with would buy it. He was from the Midwest, and I'll never forget what he said: "yeah, it tastes like piss but it's cheaper than pop!"
  8. You could also look at Schooler and Foster...wherever they are now. Schooler is desperately hoping to make an NFL practice squad and Foster is at Sam Houston State.
  9. Don't let your fake news stats distract you from the FACT that our coaching staff is DOOMED to repeat the FAILURE that was last year. DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED!
  10. Good catch. Man, that would be frustrating as hell for a player, especially the knuckleheads we rolled out at safety. Maybe Patterson was brought in to help PK coach up his coaching staff.
  11. Do you have any actual conclusions to draw from his last two stops? Have you watched any of his games prior to last year as a head coach? Or is this just the same "Seven Win Steve" trope, yet again.
  12. He's not expected to be ready for fall camp and we're actively recruiting players in the portal to play ahead of him. That's my prediction.
  13. They didn't want to play two deep safeties. The pass rush was so bad and their safeties were so bad in coverage that they were terrified about getting beat over the top. PK's defense has always featured Cover 3 with one high safety and minimal blitzing when he has the correct personnel. If you have to bring 5 or 6 on any given play to have any shot at pressuring the QB, you're going to get picked apart in the Big 12.
  14. Full search? You're dragging that corpse back out? Nobody does a full search. You can't, the recruiting windows are too short these days. That's why the coaches that Lincoln Riley took with him to USC snuck out of Norman on a private jet in the middle of the night. When recruits will decommit at the drop of a hat, so nobody is ever "available" until they've already agreed to terms. Even then you have to worry about another team poaching them if word gets out you're interested.
  15. 5'10.5"? Well, our O-Line is so porous that he wouldn't have to worry about seeing over it.
  16. Peterson's not available, but we do have his DC and a former head coach from his coaching tree on our staff already. Who's better than Sark that we'd have a chance to get next year? Who's a better bet than "Seven Win Steve"?
  17. Excuse me, I said the Huskies won 10 when I should have said 9. Sark is credited with 8 wins in 2013, but the Huskies won their bowl without him when he left for USC. So, they went from 0-12 to 9-4 from the season before he started to the season when he left.
  18. Drastic improvement is what, 8-4? I don't think he needs to hit 8 wins to be given a third year. He wins less than that and he's going to need a new DC, but I think the only way he gets fired is if he puts up another 5-7.
  19. The Kool-Aid must be in edible form over in SoCal.
  20. Sark went from coaching QBs at El Camino College to head coach at Washington in 9 years. He was 33 when he took that job. That's a meteoric rise to become a Division 1 coach. They went from going 0-12 the year before he took over to 10 wins the year he left. That's a good job for a team that has never been a blueblood. USC was a shit show, but he was fired in the middle of his second season because of his drinking, and he's done every reasonable thing a person can do to rehabilitate himself from that. His track record as a head coach is at best incomplete. I don't know whether he can build a dynasty, but he's a helluva lot better than that asshole we hired from U of H, his offense is miles ahead, and his coaches are much better recruiters. I don't know what your profession is, but I don't know that I'd want to work for you with a take like that based on the fact that he couldn't turn Washington into Alabama in 5 years after Whittington ran it into the ground.
  21. Hey, if we can go from Texas Tech under Kingsbury bad to Texas Tech under Mike Leach bad in two seasons, I can live with that.
  22. Too bad we can't say the same for the defense. I feel better about the o-line next year than I do about outside linebacker(if we miss on the transfer from TCU), inside linebacker, and safety. At least right now we've got some athletes at safety, Bush isn't on the two-deep for OLB, and Luke Brockermeyer may have played his last snap as a Longhorn. With the OL we're at least not depending on addition by subtraction to improve the rotation, as everyone has had a significant role before outside of the RG. Our QBs are still going to get sacked more than they should until we get the freshmen up to speed.
  23. Good. Maybe someday we'll get to see all these mythical "inside zone" RPOs that both Sark and that asshole head coach we hired for U of H are known for.
  24. Whittington has actually said on his Youtube show that he'd gladly play safety if asked.
  25. This guy's greed knows no bounds. Between Watson and James Harden, I'm so sick of diva superstars playing for Houston sports teams. Almost as tired as I am of bad owners running their teams into the ground.
