Totally agree. I'm hoping Sark learns from this. It seems weird to say that Sark is killing it as a head coach and punching himself in the dick as a playcaller.

ut has a lot of money. the best oc and dc should be on staff. other schools should want them. constantly cultivating coaching talent

Sark was so busy building the roster he forgot to keep learning and building himself up. . Smh 

hopefully this is a wake up call he needs to check his ego at the door

On a good note, that toss play call probably quiets down the NFL interview noise.

I'm confused. Is that good or the worst thing that could happen to Texas football in the history of ever?

His recovery history from alcoholism is his biggest problem. He’s too lenient and forgiving when it comes to second chances because of how he got his second chance. Some shit he lets fly doesn’t cut it if you want to win titles.

1st down was the right call. Then it went to shit.

2nd down should have been a play action boot with instructions to throw it away if it's not here. 

Then pound it 3rd and 4th down. If they stop it then it's a 7 point game with more than 2 minutes and they have the ball on their own goal line. 

I was saying this shit before 1st down. It's not hindsight.

This. The second down sweep. That was really damning in an otherwise very well coached game.

Yes, let's test an elite defense to the field side when they have the leverage after getting stuffed on first down. Great call. Jesus Fucking Christ. This must be what aggy felt like running up the gut on 4th and short for the 109th time.

It didn't matter what we did after that. We were too easy to defend in that situation, especially considering Sawyer had smoked Cam Williams multiple times to that point. The TD was of course worst case scenario but the Ohio State pass rush wrecking the game there was utterly predictable.

Remember it was Sark who took Reggie Bush off the field on 4th and 2 against Texas in 2006.  He isn't going to win big as the Head Coach and OC.  He needs lots of help and I don't see him hiring experienced coaches to help.

Lendale White shredded Texas in that game. I guess you could argue Bush should have been on the field as a decoy but giving White the ball is a very defensible decision. I actually agree Sark's gameday blunders at Texas make me skeptical he can pull off 3-4 straight against CFP caliber teams but this is a really weird one to go back to. You don't have to go nearly this far.

I assume it would be like Urban Meyer - he'd hire someone to run his offense. Lane Kiffin doesn't call plays for Ole Miss, but it's his offense. My hope is that Sark would be removed enough from the play calling that he could help problem solve when things aren't working. Though you're probably right, he doesn't sound like he's ready to give up play calling. 

This team called OSU brought in a pretty good play caller too seems to have helped.

Sark can still be Sark and come up with the offensive ideas and his script.

Then turn it over for game day play calling and half time adjustments.

Anyone who doesn't see the need for this isn't paying attention.

There's a line and IMO this crossed it. Criticizing Sark is one thing, second guessing anyone's sobriety is another. Don't do that.

He didn't second guess anyone's sobriety.  He said because Sark is a "second chancer" himself, he's too lenient and let's others get away with too much.

The can be true without being a flaw.  Hell, it's a positive trait.  One that might come with downside within this particular context.

I heard I think Klatt say recently something I agree with..

Something that defines a great coach is they blame losses  on the coaching staff, credit wins on the players.

You agreed with me.  You can run Lendale but you have to put doubt into the defenders.  It is a consistent pattern of failure with this guy.  I guess it is okay with you. But I want Texas to win championships.

Sark blew a 16 point 4th qtr lead to fucking Arizona State and was a cunt hair away from being responsible for a historic humilation.

He's fucking lucky as hell to be only taking heat for his shit decisions on the 1 yard line right now.

If you see anything wrong with what Sark had to say about that playcall there, I dunno what to tell you.

Not being to displace the man in front of you makes it extremely difficult to run goal line offense. 

He believed he could get them out leveraged, and it went far worse than expected with the loss of yardage.

It would have been a great call if it worked, but it didn't. The OL was not good enough for us to win today, that's really what football comes down to more often than not.

I quote and underlined his exact statement. Saying someone's sobriety is "Their biggest problem", is questioning their sobriety.

Read his quote and tell me how you perceived it as a positive. 

He then goes on to say that what he learned in sobriety won't cut it if you want to win titles.

I don't know how the hell you consider that not questioning his sobriety.

It wasn't a play call. Sark had 5, 5 downs from the 2 yard line to get a TD. Five attempts. 

It results in 7 points for OSU

There is no planet where you call that good coaching. 

And.. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought coaches were responsible for ya know.. coaching the OL too. Or.. are they on some sort of island and coaches get a pass for their shitty play?

He needs to hire a goalline specialist who can help him figure out not just the pesky short yardage goalline plays but in general plays in the red zone. 

It's been awhile since I've played Madden, but I think I've got this.

Sark had basically one stupid play call the whole game.  Overall he called a good game.  There were lots of yards left on the field.  Lots of dumb penalties.  And playing against the best defense we faced.  He and his play calling and coaching had us 1 play from the final game twice.  Fuck off haters.  

We choked after the Gbenda INT.

Tonight should be the night that ends the “Sark is an offensive genius” narrative. He has consistently shown in his four seasons at Texas that there are massive flaws in both his system and playcalling acumen. There are far too many stretches in games where the offense is completely non-existent. These aren’t stretches that happen a few times a season. They consistently happen for long stretches of most games during our season. 

He has zero feel for calling plays in the red zone. He calls the same slow developing, lateral plays each and every drive inside the 20. Every red zone possession we know the following plays are coming:

1. Play action swing screen that is either lofted above the RBs or blown up 4 yards behind the LOS.

2. Near the goaline he will run out a big package that includes two defensive lineman (see first down on tonight’s definitive 4th quarter drive).

3. Outside toss to the boundary.

4. Fade to the corner which is inevitably underthrown or out of bounds with no chance for the receiver to make a play.

We are at a point where our talent is better than 95% of the country, which will get us to 10 wins most seasons and in playoff contention.  The issue is that Sark is exposed when he meets teams that are as or more talented than we are.  The Bama game last season has proven to be the exception, not the rule.  We played that game about as perfect as we could have, but we have not come close to putting a game like that together since.

It is simply unfathomable that Sark didn’t run out Arch for at least a play or two at the goal line.  I was fine with the first down call, but once that was stuffed we needed a different look. Arch is big enough to where he’s a legit threat for QB sneak, he presents a zone read option threat and he could be a play action boot threat. 

We bring back a less talented team next season with a tougher schedule so unless Sark has some serious reflection this offseason in how he calls plays (which I seriously doubt) I have grave concerns that we make the playoffs next season.

With another 2nd down outside run thst predictably got stuffed. 
 

Also I love what Sark has done with the program but Juan Davis running in and out of bunch sets as many times as he did tonight made my head want to explode. 
 

You got a guy out there taking up space thst nobody fears in the pass game and isn’t some stud blocker either.

qb coaching isn't up to par here

shown me ewers improvement the past two years ???

I think that's more on Ewers. Every other QB Sark coached improved. Even Mac Jones sat for a few years then came in and just made all the throws to take advantage of the talent. Ewers could never get to that level. He's just extremely inconsistent. 

He was a good transitional QB for Sark to build the team around, especially since he arrived with ridiculous over hype that he couldn't ever come close to living up to being. 

That said, I'm very happy I've seen his last game as Texas QB. He and the offense just wasted a championship level defense. This defense should have won the title this year if the QB and offense didn't sabotage the whole thing. 

They held OSU to 21 points even with the offense doing nothing for most of the game. That was a damn good accomplishment given what that offense had been doing recently, and it should have been enough to win the game. 

There better be a much less predictable and more explosive offense with Manning at QB. He can make every throw consistently, is big as an ox, and can run when necessary. With the defensive talent on campus and coming in this should be an elite defense again soon. Hopefully Manning and Sark can get it right offensively and get us a title in the next 2 seasons.

This is a very flawed team, that lost in a semifinal. We have no RB we can play that weighs over 200#, because of crazy injury luck. Our QB is small and has poor pocket presence, and got hurt mid season and never really recovered. 
 
We have one WR that could get snaps at tOSU. Our kicker got worse from last year. This was a very good year and Sark did a very good job of navigating it.
