19 hours ago, Texasrocks said: I think the frustrating thing about Sark is he could field an exceptional team. Just not while being the OC and primary play caller. He needs to decide whether he wants to be a head coach or a coordinator. He can do either at an elite level, but he can't do both.
Yep. Many of us have been saying it for a while. And there's no shame in not being able to do both at the highest level. Not many people can do both well at the same time. The shame is in Sark seemingly not being willing to do what he should do for the team. Hire a playcaller, my dude.

Just remind them that if they hadn't shat the bed in Austin, they'd have been playing this weekend.
3 minutes ago, BachelorTrek said: Yes, but their D-Line was scared of Chambliss. Once they'd lunge at Chambliss on a play, that player would just give up like there was no point in attempting to run him down! Amazing!
Yeah and his pocket presence was pretty, pretty, pretty good ...

Happy New Year, y'all! Hope y'all aren't hangin' too bad today, and I sure hope this year turns out a lot better than last year did.
On 12/1/2025 at 3:37 PM, wood said: So, how would y'all like a new high-level OW series based on, say, a spec V10 & spec chassis the first season, with teams able to develop them independently going forward, under a cost cap? And let's say that series was going to start in 2028 ...
First Instagram post today, laid out some basics ...
01. An independent motorsport series
HybridV10™ is built outside traditional motorsport structures, with its own governance, philosophy, and long-term vision. Events are delivered in collaboration with local partners and accordance with technical, sporting and safety requirements.
02. A festival-led racing experience – Global Touring Motorsport Festival
Each HybridV10™ event is a national motorsport festival, combining:
• Competitive racing
• Technology and engineering showcases
• Culture, entertainment, and live experiences
• Education, STEM and skills engagement
• Fan participation
It is more than a race weekend – it is a destination event.
03. A return to sound, emotion, and spectacle
HybridV10™ features visually dramatic single-seater race cars powered by naturally aspirated V10 and V8 hybrid power units.
• Loud and distinctive
• Instantly recognisable
• Designed to be felt and experienced by fans
04. Innovation with cost discipline
HybridV10™ is not a spec series; it is a Controlled Innovation Championship.
The platform is cost-controlled at its core, while allowing creativity and new ideas.
• Multiple engineering approaches
• Team and manufacturer identity
• Technical problem-solving
This encourages innovation without unsustainable spending.
05. Engineering as part of the story
Every team starts with the same foundation.
Every team builds something different.
Performance is not just measured by results, but by how it is achieved.
• Design philosophy
• Energy management
• Technical ingenuity
• Human ingenuity
HybridV10™ makes engineering visible and understandable again.
06. A platform for new teams and manufacturers
HybridV10™ is structured to welcome:
• New team owners
• Independent entrants
• Established and emerging manufacturers
• Nations seeking meaningful motorsport engagement
Entry is transparent, scalable, and long-term focused.
07. A fan-first approach
HybridV10™ aims to unlock creativity, identity, and opportunity.
Fans are treated as the customer.
• Greater access and transparency
• Meaningful participation
• Membership-driven engagement
HybridV10™ is built with fans, not at a distance from them.
08. Clear pathways into motorsport
Through structured development and talent systems, HybridV10™ creates opportunities for:
• Drivers
• Engineers
• Mechanics
• Technologists
• Creators and operators
Talent, commitment, and potential matter more than background.
09. Global in reach, local in character
Each festival reflects the host nation by engaging:
• Local culture and identity
• Education and skills partners
• Regional industry
• National talent
Motorsport becomes locally relevant wherever it appears.
10. A balanced approach to sustainability
HybridV10™ addresses sustainability through:
• Sensible hybrid technology
• Modern fuel strategies
• Lifecycle-based engineering
• Smarter logistics and operations
Without removing sound, spectacle, or excitement.
11. Designed for trust and longevity
The platform operates under an independent, commission-style governance model inspired by the World Commission ethos.
• Clear roles and accountability
• Transparent decision-making
• Long-term stewardship
Built to endure, not chase short-term outcomes.
12. A modern reset
HybridV10™ rejects the hybrid World Commission’s excesses to modernise motorsport by making it:
• More open
• More engaging
• More innovative
• More connected to fans and communities
• More fun
13. Focused on the future
HybridV10™ offers true constructor DNA – without the financial arms race that has destroyed independent teams elsewhere.
This is not a cost-cap championship.
This is a common-sense innovation platform.
HybridV10™ is built to:
• Inspire the next generation
• Encourage innovation
• Reconnect fans
• Restore motorsport’s cultural impact

I mean, yeah, I understand it could still happen, but if we end up keeping those two after their units have sucked so badly, then wtf are we even doing?
