He has turned out to be better than I expected. But the old criticisms now carry more weight. Can’t take what a defense gives him. This was one of the main criticisms from his past two HC jobs out west. His opponents knew it. Arch’s play absolutely did not help. It was harmful and disappointing. But at some point if you want to be both OC and HC (and the graveyard is full of HC’s gone from the sport who did both—yes a few have won the big one—but it’s almost 99% not bringing lasting success.) At any rate I like Sark but we have now seen his red zone woes on full display with multiple QB’s and something is getting missed. He doesn’t take what defenses give him. And dumb penalties and shit rob us of the rest. That’s it. 🤘🏼

Best thing we can hope for is Sark somehow lucks into a generational QB like Mack, Jimbo, and Chizik that can overcome his coaching deficiencies.

He's had two No. 1 overall prospects in their respective recruiting classes at QB so far. Is that not enough? I suspect it would be for Ryan Day and Kirby Smart.

No just one. Our great defense didn’t seem to be an issue to score on in the red zone when it mattered for those opposing coaches. 

You can’t be serious…

 

last year Texas had multiple HUGE goal line stands in the playoffs and other games that helped us win.

When it mattered most. Georgia twice, Ohio st twice. He’s  here to win big games not play in them then say “yea but we did really good against aggy and lesser teams”

Aggy wasn’t a playoff game and they weren’t good so pretty stupid to hang your hat on that. Az st and Clemson are teams we should beat and did and aren’t even in the same stratosphere as Georgia and Ohio st. Strange you can’t hold the head coach responsible for clear issues against great teams.

PK has shutdown osu and Georgia twice.  He’s not the issue

Reading is fucking fundamental.

I never said PK was the issue I said sark was. 

You sure about that?

Look dude if you don’t think sark is an issue in big games I don’t know what to tell you. And you also used aggy as an example of what I don’t know. Our offense scored 17 that’s game and also somehow scored 7 for aggy too.

He needs an actual play calling OC, at minimum for the red zone.  It’s obvious he doesn’t have the time to put into play calling that he did at Alabama.  It’s frustrating but then I also remember the many years before him and the number of coaches who have won more games the last two years. This game we had a chance to win with the quarterback not even being close to his target on half his throws.  That makes play calling pretty hard to do.

We had the better overall offensive performance and plan in both Ohio State matchups (and the second Georgia matchup) and went 0-3. That is the toughest pill to swallow for me. We had them beat in a variety of different ways and made the 2 or 3 mistakes at the worst times we couldn't afford to make.

Ryan Day didn't do anything special in either matchup. He went into his shell, let Jeremiah Smith be a non-factor again and we are the ones who handed him the game. He didn't sit around Columbus all offseason gameplanning for a 200 yard performance on offense.

It would be a different story if we were just getting our doors blasted off and outclassed in these games. They have all been winnable aside from Georgia part 1, and even that one was a one-possession game in the second half.

I think Sark has won 20 straight games against unranked opponents going back to 2022. 10-6 against top 25 teams. It's the top 1% we are coming face to face with and we have to find a way to get over the top.

Overall I’m very happy with Sark. He’s hired great coaches, recruited and developed great players, and capitalized on the shifting landscape in college football in a manner that has elevated us to a top 5 program 3 years running.

Coaches tend to wear the “can’t win the big one” badge of honor until they finally break through, at which point all is forgiven. Ryan Day, Kirby Smart, Dabo, etc. I still think Sark will be in that class. There are problems that need to be fixed (primarily the red zone), but outside of Georgia 1 last year, we’ve been a play or two away from winning every big game, and I expect he’ll break through eventually.

If this year plays out like yesterday, he will be the DC on two of our top five defenses of all time. He’s definitely not the issue and frankly why and what’s required to have a shot at a title. He’s A+ legit.

You take the premise that Texas out performed UGA2 and both tOSU games then it comes down to red zone and his fourth and go for its specifically.  
 

If Texas performed 50/50 in the red zone, even with arch’s nonsense we win. 

and imo, when the team is struggling you have to scheme to win.

Texas was so far from winning those three games and yet “this close” too if sark wasn’t a fucking meathead in the red zone.
 

Sark failed big time.

Not all that familiar with PK, but I've seen his product and it's legit. Makes sense to me that after this year, someone is going to throw even bigger money at him to become a head coach. Will we be able to continue what he's started here? At this level???

Will we still get the same quality of defensive recruits or will they be following him to wherever? You'd like to think we can keep it going at this high level but there are no guarantees - unless...

PK stays on as HC. He hires a DC and then guess what, we finally get an OC..

A better option would be Sark getting an OC and then if PK leaves, get a DC, but I'm not convinced Sark will ever get an OC, and I think that's a worse option than PK as HC with a high profile up and coming OC. Those may well be our two options at the end of the season.

I get the feeling Sark is not spending enough time with his QB. That cross field throw on fourth and three took the cake. The kid shoulda known better. The fucking QB keepers up the middle instead of an RPO? How fucking lazy was that call? How lazy was it that we haven't practiced that situation thirty times during the off season? Give me Arch and a sprint to the far sideline flag. How long are we going to watch these Sark busts against good teams? 

Or am I wrong about all this and PK's not going anywhere?

Baxter off tackle left is a TD. Arch reads the D and goes off guard left it’s a TD too.
