Sark needs to institute a rule - TAKE THE 3 POINTS EVERY FUCKING TIME.

coulda been 14-12 with a two point conversion to tie. 

problem with his choices is that if he can’t get the first or TD the first time he goes for it, then he has the gambler’s fallacy the next time or worse is forced to go for it eventually going for it enough that he pushes his team out of the game. 

you have a defense that’s stellar. Take the fucking points. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

It's all him.  The defense is elite but his offense is fucking lacking.

We don’t get the two point conversion we get the ball back and only need a FG to win. 

His game management is so fucking atrocious - he probably drinks analytics but he needs to study the analytics on his team and TAKE THE FUCKING POINTS

Sark is choke AF.

Dumbass, panic play caller.

 

Built-in excuse with Arch in his first game.

 

Couldn't beat UGA at home.

Couldn't beat UGA when our defense slept their starting qb---found a way to DERP loss to a back up qb for the sec championship.

 

2 consecutive losses in the college football playoff.

 

3 FULL quarters with ZERO points to show.  Junk TD in the 4th to a JAG wr.

Has a chance to luck into a tie, but derps up play calls and leaves a buck twenty seven left on the clock to end the game.

 

CLASSIC SARK.

 

fuk outta here

He is so fucking stubborn in the red zone. He is way too committed to calling what he desperately wants to work.

but its hard for me to believe 4 straight runs with the QB having 3 of them is due to being stubborn. I think he really just doesn't know what to do there

I really like Sark.  He was a good hire.  And I love his story of redemption and overcoming addiction that has taken down many people in every walk of life over human history, yet he has done well the last few years.  
 

That being said, people that think he’s an offensive genius need to stop being fanboys and be objective.  He might end up showing the world he’s an offensive mastermind.  But he’s not there yet.  
 

Look at last year.  With the exception of Michigan, the offense didn’t go crazy on any helmet schools or really schools with a pulse/bowl teams.   When a Sark offense goes up against a quality defense, it does what a lot of other offenses do - it struggles.  
 

Don’t freak out.  Almost every other school would love to have Sark and say “we were in the playoffs the past two seasons, what did YOU do?”

But yeah, scoring in the teens against quality defenses isn’t a good trend.

QB failed to execute easy offense. Coach can't make the QB throw in the dirt. 

you did see the playcalling from 1st and goal to the turnover on downs right?

Take the points keep it one score that’s the problem and with how arch was playing you have to let him come off the field a winner. Pat on the ass after a FG and try again. Nope, instead comes off the field a failure bc his coach called a fourth and goal go for it …. again.

It can be, and in this case was both the QB and the OC at fault.

OC faults:

  • Ongoing stubbornness in the red zone and on 4th down
  • Not taking the points after getting stonewalled
  • Poor game planning: minimal bootlegs, waggles, moving the pocket.  Seemed to play to Arch's weakness vs. his strengths.
  • Pre-snap penalties

QB faults:

  • Inaccuracy, even with minimal/no pressure in his face - I counted at least 4 throws just totally in the dirt and another 3-4 way over the head of the WR
  • Forcing the throw to Wingo for the INT, coverage was there and throw was inside not to the boundary
  • Missing wide open WRs to go to the higher risk option (first toss/fade in the end zone to Jaggerson)

You don't kick a FG at the 1/2 yard line.

There are probably 50 different coaching things you can critique about that game.

Going for it on 4th down in the 3rd quarter from the 1 foot line when you haven’t shown any ability to get close to end zone consistently isn’t one. That is a move any other coach in America would make. You are going to have to score a TD at some point and you have the ball at the 1 foot line.

Anybody suggesting a FG there with how the game had played out to that point is a moron.

Going for it was correct. The play call, especially after they almost stopped our 4th down sneak early at midfield was stupid af. 

Pound it with Baxter

Now, every other team... no, you don't kick it, they make the play. Sark has a history of not doing so. If he can't get in the end zone from there, he should kick it. Especially with a kicker who can get it through the uprights now. 🤘🏾

No issue with the 4th down decisions today but when you repeatedly fail in the red zone every single year, that's a systemic issue. We almost doubled their total yards but when you get no points twice inside the 10, you're gonna lose against good teams. The fact that it keeps happening over and over is highly concerning.

It also felt like the playcalling was very vanilla for 3 quarters and then the creativity arrived in the 4th. Just a lot of runs up the middle and plain dropback passes.

Also - this team should spend 20 minutes a day practicing QB sneaks. Those should be an automatic 1-2 yards with Arch's size/athleticism and both looked terrible.

Sark deserves a ton of shit for the gameplan today. Super conservative. Next to no motion or play action. Super predictable play calling inside RZ etc etc

He is starting to get the "Big Game Sark" sarcastic tag a la Stoops back in day

He's a great play designer.

He's an extremely mediocre play caller.

In one word, this team is indecisive. You can hide that against mediocre competition, but it's painfully obvious otherwise.

We have no identity on offense. That's no coincidence. It's a clear symptom of indecision. Hard conversations about "who are we gonna be" that never took place. Why not? It starts at the top.

The culture of indecision is evident from the rash of headscratcher playcalls. If Sark had devised any kind of strategy going into Saturday, you wouldn't know it from watching the game. The most charitable way to interpret that first half was that Sark wanted to conceal the team's capabilities and playbook, but the likeliest explanation is that he failed to select a strategic approach, which affected how the team prepared. The result being an offense consisting of jacks-of-all-plays, masters of none.

Arch looked hesitant and lost many times, too. Other than the two ore three times when he reverted to his "It Factor" mode, Arch did not have the look of a quarterback that's certain about what he wanted to do, or certain of what his alternatives would be and how he would choose among the alternatives. Plenty of dudes were wide open, plenty of running lanes were available, but his hesitation and indecision paralyzed him out there. The offense never quite got going, and I blame the culture of indecision Sark has cultivated.

Although these symptoms of indecision are most pronounced in the Red Zone, they were evident pretty much the entire game. Although the symptoms died down in the late 4th quarter, like a bad case of herpes, never quite fully went away. This is not a problem that coachspeak will fix. Sark needs to address the plague of indecision if he ever wants the team to be championship caliber and not just merely elite.

Our biggest thing holding us back, is that our OC , playcaller, and the HC are the same person. 

Sark needs to hire someone he trusts to run the offense , maybe someone who can tell him when to use a freaking timeout
