    Good summary and compelling case, I just don’t think Sark will listen. He’s done better as the head of the program than I thought he would, and I think he’d probably get even better at self scouting and quality control if he didn’t have to be coming up with game plans and play calling every week. I go back to the fact that Jimbo is the only play caller head coach for either side of the ball who won a national championship this century. Josh Heupel at Tennessee is facing many of these same criticisms in his year 5 and most Tennessee fans want him to give up play calling duties as well.
  2. Interesting chart. I’d like to see the average yards to target in each game to see if there is correlation. we know there was between the UF and OU games, I haven’t seen one for the UK game but it certainly felt like the targets were further downfield.
  3. They’ll never see it coming!
  4. But we know what worked, we saw it in the OU game. That game showed what our team does well on offense and then in the first series the next game he runs a bullshit double-reverse flea-flicker on a 3rd and 3 rather than doing something simple that would get 4-5 yards and move the chains. I swear it’s almost like he just can’t accept winning with a conservative, ball control offense and would rather lose games going big game hunting.
  5. Basically setting up like the Kansas game in 2016, KU had lost 19 conference games in a row going into that one.
  6. Sadly, I will admit the death of hope and agree to the terms of surrender at 8-4. I might even enjoy it a bit depending on who the W’s are.
  7. Agree. I haven’t seen any indication PK wants to be a HC. From what I understand he doesn’t even run the entire defense, just the fronts. On Sark, when was the last coach that won a national championship that was calling the plays on offense or defense? I don’t think Kirby does at UGA. Maybe Jimbo at FSU in 2013?
  8. This is how I took it as well. He’s a 22 year old kid trying to represent a multibillion brand and also trying to be a leader in the locker room so he’s looking out for his teammate against outsiders. He knows the offense sucked. Arch knows it too, he said as much. That’s why Arch looked so dejected, he knew he played like shit and he let his teammates down. But Taaffe is going to stick up for his teammate in public. I never put much stock in lost game comments from players, and this is no exception. The red flag would be if Taaffe started casting blame on the offense in one of these.
  9. I thought he was getting divorced from L’Oréal? We need a separate thread to keep up with the gossip about the Texas athletics program.
  10. They don’t call him a coach on the field for nothing!
  11. Any chance both Florida coaches get the axe today?
  12. He’s not exactly gambling on this one.
  13. Which begs the question - if you scheme up wide open plays that your offense has consistently shown they cannot execute, are they good plays?
  14. Call me a loser with an aggy mentality but I would totally take that result.
  15. This morning, I am thankful for the FSU, Clemson, and Penn State programs as they are keeping us from being the biggest bust of the season.
  16. I heard a little of the post game press conference last night. Sark actually broke out the “half the teams in the SEC lost tonight” trope.
  17. It did seem like that. Surely we have hot routes built into most pass plays and Arch rarely hits them or even looks for them.
  18. Turrible, just turrible
  19. It really seemed as if, after finding a formula for winning football last week (outside zone running, quick passes, moving the chains on long drives), Sark went right back to the “big game hunter” mentality of slow developing deep shots from the very first drive. Would really like to see the average distance to target stat for this week.
  20. Any ideas on what happened to the running game this week? Wisner has his best game of the season and then we give him 14 total touches? Clark has 3 decent carries and then goes on a milk carton for the rest of the game. If you have a good defense, a plus special teams unit, and a struggling QB, leaning on a running came is a viable plan (that worked very well the previous week) and yet it just got totally ignored all night. Was the defense just showing a heavy box every play that dictated the calls?
  21. They had a nice one to Jordan Washington that went for 25 yards, but that was about it.
  22. 2010 has to be up there. We were #5 in the preseason, had a 5-star QB replacing a 3-year starter, also had a great defense, and went 5-7. I suppose that record is still on the table for this team but I think we scratch out at least 2 more wins.
