    Im still not convinced we want the fat boy gone. This year might represent some fantastic fools gold that has them tripping over multiple future aggie like decisions. 

    Yep. His OC and DC both departing. Doesn't seem to be a difference maker HC (yet at least). Aggy still seems to be excited to have him. Lookin' good for us tbh

    If, after all of this, Sark does jump to the NFL, UT's going to be in a world of hurt after the insane coaching carousel.  No one left.

    not that you're wrong (or right), but Sark wasn't really talked much about for Texas until the last minutes.

    The answer to a system that has an opaque playoff selection model and meaningless bowl games for the excluded is to ….. wait  a second….. is to turn conference championships to meaningless exhibition bowl games for the already included and to expand the still flawed playoff selection model further to try to get more excluded teams into the playoffs

     

    I seriously doubt adding 4 more teams is going to make the conference championship games exhibition bowl games...

    .... but if they do? So what! you have a 16-team playoff now!

    I'd be more than happy to drag my nuts on aggy the day after turkey and sit back at 12-0 until the first round of the playoffs begins. I don't need to go play Georgia or whoever. I don't need to see Cactus Aggy and BYU play again. Crown a regular season champ and let's get on with the playoffs.

    OU doesn't have the money to do the shit we do, and when half the crowd is hopped up on meth you gotta keep a good eye on keeping them from getting overstimulated, which Venables offense compliments nicely.  I got no idea what Notre Dame does, but Jesus and shit.  

    Plus you wouldn't want to occupy too many of their senses or how would they detect the local tornado?

    No.

    The tOSU game is not the problem.

    The UGa game is only part of the problem.

    The Florida game is the problem.

    Losing inexplicably to asswater is the problem, and the thread title spells it out for you: This is who Steve Sarkisian is.

     

     

    No, like he said, y'all are both right. 

    You handle your business against the teams you're supposed to, you're in. True

    You don't go on the road the first game of the season against a top 2 team in the country that you understandably lose to, you're probably in.

    That's not always the case, though, which is why using ranking at the time of the game is dumb.  LSU did not beat a top 5 Clemson.

    I was not making a blanket statement. I am specifically talking about 2025 Vandy, and that the only reason they're currently not in the top 10 is because Texas beat them.

    They're also one of those teams that have gotten washed by the only good teams they've played all year so it's hard to tell if they even belong in the top 20.

    That doesn't really matter, they're 14 still, and were in the top 10 in November when you beat them. 

    None of it means Texas should be in the playoffs, but it's a beyond a quality win by nearly everyone's measure.

    Agree the Longhorns deserve to be in over OU and Vanderbilt, but I don't think a 3-loss team should qualify.

    I'd say that depends. I think there are maybe 21 power 5 teams with 2 or fewer losses right now just doing a quick search. If that number goes down after this weekend to 15 or so, I think you could make an argument for a 3 loss team (not saying only Texas, but...)

    Lol do you really think, at third and 3, any coach is really thinking "Man, the entire sports world has been talking shit about us. I better go for the touchdown here and remind people that we're still Texas, fuck the first down and fuck clock management"??

    Then I can't help you.

    Its almost like at every persons career growth at some point they hit a stage where someone has to smack them in the head and tell them to delegate more. 

    I'm a software engineer by trade, getting into management guess what almost no coding. want to code ? go be an engineer. similarly to reach higher levels you have to be able to delegate more, hold people accountable, and fucking manage. You can be a good manager or a good engineer, but no one has the capacity to do both. 

    I think the signal at large here is you want to be a head coach, be a fucking head coach. If you want to call plays, be a play caller. Right now Sark is trying to do both, doing neither exceptionally well, and he needs to decide which of these he wants to be. Either is fine, but he's paid to be head coach, not play caller. 

    Saban famously focused on process and systems. Sark needs to call up his old boss and ask for some series perspective help. He needs to focus on his system and processes at large, architect the offense but delegate the execution of it to someone he can trust. 

     

    TBF, regardless of how Rappaprapparaport worded his tweet, the Texans defense wasn't chopped liver before 'Mec'r gave up play calling. They were still one of the top units in the NFL, and at the time had still allowed the fewest points.

    who said I was complaining. I said we do not know the leeway that Sark gives players. IF you actually know please share. 

    Exactly. There are levels of freedom a QB can have, and it's interesting to discuss, whether you really blame the coach or not. Cool, the back-up audibled to something different, but was it the only pre-designated play he could audible to, or only pre-designated route he could change to based on shown coverage? That's interesting to me.

    Lane can beat OU, Georgia and aggy.  What's not to like about that?

    Quinn called an audible for the 4th down play.  Golden confirmed it.  Quinn also audibled to a run against Clemson that led to a big Blue TD run.

    If I'm not mistaken, he changed protection to cover an all-out blitz. That, along with switching to a single pre-designated run from a pass based on what a safety is doing etc..., are what most would consider intermediate types of audibling, and a lot of times is situational. I'd probably throw audibling to a hot route in there as well. So he at least had the freedom to do that, and a lot of QBs do.

    But when I want to know if a QB is really allowed to audible, what I'm really asking is if on any given play that QB has the freedom to change things, from play side to gaps, individual routes etc...
