Sark,is poorly aggressive.  He is situationally aggressive, but then makes weak calls.  Kind of infuriating 

The Arch play was aggressive and a good call with effective deception.

Disagree with using Gibson on the 1st down call. True freshman with ball safety issues who gets maybe 2-3 carries a game only when we need short yardage and he always gets the ball. I wonder where the fuck the ball is going? 

Our personnel makes the calls so obvious to opposing defenses.
That was Lane Kiffin’s call.

What a shitty press conference ho hum response to the goal line. “Just lined up and couldn’t get it done”. wtf. Blame yourself with you shitty playcalling at the 1.

I’ve never heard Sark take blame for anything. He needs to look in the mirror but I he is who he is and will need a superhuman VY to overcome his stubbornness to win a title.

If there is any consolation to last night, I think Sark finally had is Pete Carrol moment that will spur some type of change. Everyone here saw all season long the offensive hang-ups, but Sark got to showcase it in front of the entire country, millions of eyeballs. With everything on the line, cameras rolling, he just takes a shit on himself. 

Change must happen regardless. We’ll have a new QB, either way. Hopefully Sark pairs it with better situational scheme.

You can be “one of the best” and still need to improve. Shitty situational offensive and defensive play calling cost Texas the game.

Also fuck Sark for all the Juan Davis snaps lol,  put a WR out there and try to actually attack the field. 

Guy got way too many snaps in way too many big games down the stretch.

Yea so is James Franklin and that’s where he is right now. Win 12 games regularly and choke when it matters most. No one is saying fire him. Are we not allowed to bitch at shitty play calling?

Maybe. It certainly cost us an opportunity to tie the game.

Sure, but we should also remember that because of Steve Sarkisian, we have it pretty good here, which is in stark contrast to 2010 through 2022.

Yea, said it in some other threads but being at the game last night the amount of times I looked out on the field and saw Juan fucking Davis in that stupid bunch set where he would meander in and out of about made my head explode.  He's not a receiving threat AT ALL and not some stud blocker either....

You also don’t call a blitz when the other team must drive 75 yards right before half and they won’t do it because they don’t have enough. It’s a well-known strategy to call a draw or screen in that situation. Our defensive call was terrible for those two plays. I’m concerned Sark can’t legitimately think like a HC in games because he’s too focused on offense. Those two plays cost us a chance to win.

Improvement alone isn’t the standard. Texas Football has enough talent and resources (especially now in the NIL era) to expect to be playing for and winning titles semi regularly. 
 

Texas played a good enough game to win. Coaching mistakes were the difference. There were others, too. Not just those two.

We have not played for a CFP title since Sark has been here. 

I’m not saying we can’t and he won’t lead us there. I’m saying he’s getting in his own way and needs to learn from it.

No one has ever said any different. We bitch and you bring up the past as a way of saying we shouldn’t bitch? Haven’t seen anyone saying let’s fire sark, or saying we want to go back to the past. We see the greatness we’re on the doorstep of and want to see some adjustments and as of today he’s falling into James Franklin territory. Which is better than the past and no one is saying it isn’t.

Agreed, can we establish that 2010-2022 was in no way the expectation or standard at Texas. This isn't Texas Tech where we should feel thankful for making a bowl.

Yeah. I’m not concerned the dude is Charlie Strong. Sark is a top 10% head coach, at least. I’m concerned he’s Franklin or Mike Martin (college baseball reference).

Sark has also received a ton of credit for rebuilding the roster to the level of a top team. But its hard to parse how much of that should go to the timing of NIL

Try 1970 to 2005.

1970 to 1983 was pretty good. Played for two titles in that stretch. 1984-1997 was very shitty.

That Georgia Cotton Bowl hit waaaaaaaaay harder than yesterday.

For me, anyway.

No one has managed roster turnover better in the NIL/portal era than Sark. You can count on one hand the number of players we've lost to the portal that would even be considered a moderate loss. Who knows what his rosters look like if NIL/the portal never became a thing, but I think it's fair to say he's the right guy at the right time for this era of CFB.

Agreed, we're basically "so close U" Texas rarely capitalizes on its big opportunities. It's very frustrating that this university seems refuse to flex it's muscles at times.

Ohio State has played it pretty damn well too. But I agree with you, Sark has been the top with maybe one or two others.

Imagine this team without Golden and Mukuba, woof. NIL made the Texas job far easier, which is also why people are going to grade Sark much more harshly.

Yeah, if other teams were able to leverage NIL we would be fucked.  Fortunately, it's only a UT tool.

We’d be talking about 7 win Steven.

Klatt says that while as a QB he hates toss sweep (for a lot of reasons previously posted all over the boards) he kind of gets why it was called there

So Oregon isn't?  Ohio State isn't?  USC isn't?  Other schools are broke too with no rich alums?  Give me a fucking break.

By the way, Ohio State beat the brakes off an undefeated Oregon team that had previously beaten the Buckeyes, but yeah, we're the only ones who suffer these ignomities and FIRE SARK.

I fucking hate our fanbase.

It was a high risk/reward play. Everything had to be blocked perfectly. IMO, it’s not the right call from the 1 on 2nd down.
