Maybe yesterday will get this team focused for Saturday. I bought fucking tickets 4 weeks ago so I’m getting there early, eating a shit ton of food and enjoying the fair and this game coming up. It’s my favorite time of the year and I think we beat ousucks Saturday.

Sark had 2 weeks to prepare and they came out and played like shit. I get that Florida is tough place to play, but still, they had many chances to win that game. Guess this means Billy boy gets another year. Sorry Gator fans. 

I think this is actually the most frustrating part about yesterday. We knew the OL play and QB play were bad and going to cost us games even if it hadn't materaialized yesterday. But we were pretty clearly unprepared to match the intensity of a Florida team that played extremely hard, which was very predictable given how their season has gone and all of the talk surrounding the program. We looked like we expected them to shit down their own leg at the sight of us like we did aginast Georgia.

Sark has obviously earned grace but that is likely never getting fixed.

I have this theory that Sark sees good execution in practice and from that assumes that players can execute the schemes and play calls.

But once reality shows that they aren't capable, because of talent, or mentality or whatever, Sark refuses to change up the calls.  Like he assumes the execution failure is more an aberration than who the players are and what are their limitations in a game scenario, despite evidence to the contrary.

 

Yeah, this is a good theory. I think it’s something he can grow out of since for the most part he’s been receptive to criticisms. The Oline needs to be taken care of though. Whatever he and Flood are seeing in practice needs to be fixed. The decision he makes with the Oline going forward could determine his trajectory as the head coach of Texas.

For me the biggest indictment of Sark right now is to not even try and experiment after watching our offensive line be as awful as they have been. 

The Sam game should have seen plenty of experimentation on the line.  Maybe move out best blocking te to right tackle and spin baker to left guard?  Maybe try anyome at left guard with a pulse? 

Just run out a a few preferred options and see if something stuck. 

His qb crisis and nonstop injuries at rb though may have diverted his attentiom away from the real problems

I was meh on the Sark hire, but I became sold on the idea that he was top notch program builder. Yeah, about that.  We seem to be a flip house with lots of foundational issues, particularly on offense.  

This year seems like a write-off.  The good news is lines and skill positions can be rebuilt via the portal much more quickly than the old days.  I'm just not sure I trust this crew to do it.

Hey, I'm glad Flood can train goliaths to move stationary targets. But, why isn't the current OL "dipping their hips" and striking low to high?

IMO, Nick Townsend is our best blocking TE, but he's only listed at 6'3", 241 lbs. That ain't nearly big enough.

But, I agree with trying multiple combinations of OL to see which guys work best together.

This is concerning.  You would think with the analysts Sark has, there would be some real heart-to-heart self-scouting.

We hired Sark when NIL became legal. Maybe it was the money and not necessarily Sark who made things better. We were just so happy to be done with Herman that we overlooked a lot of Sark’s shortcomings. 

You have to remember we were coming off of Herman who was a fucking tyrant who had everyone in the program walking on eggshells and burning players’ food when they would underperform in practice. 

All of Sark’s NFL guys were Herman’s dudes. Now we are in Year 5 with nothing but Sark recruits and look at the team. Sark has done nothing but hire his coaching buddies who have been fired from other programs.

OL Flood - suspended and fired as Rutgers HC

ST Banks - part of Sumlin’s fired aggy staff

RB Scott - part of Neal Brown’s fired WVU staff

We have an Athletic Director who could unilaterally decide a few new faces should be at practice this week to help coach up the roster.  Everyone reports to someone.  There are unemployed but experienced OL coaches sitting at home right now.  Hypothetically, of course.

I’m not sure if anything will be done during the season regarding the Oline. Maybe Flood has too much agency with the Oline and Sark needs to take the that away from him. The whole unit needs to be reconstructed after the season.

This is likely consistent with Sark's recovery mindset.  He's not going to try to control his subordinates.  He's going to tell them what should be done, likely on a consensus basis, and free them to do their jobs and expect them to do their jobs.

The point about Bama above is likely on point.  Sark was reliant upon good recruiting, evals, and the other coaches doing their jobs.  He does his and results follow.  But the presence of Saban made those assumptions and reliances valid and now they may not be so valid.

I think what Saban brought to his assistants the most was execution on game days. Simply put, his presence on the side line was felt top to bottom. Sark has course corrected multiple times on different aspects of the program throughout his time here. But Sark doesn’t have that feel on game days like Saban does. Most college coaches don’t. The correction usually comes after the fact and is really hammered in the offseason. Sark intervened with PK after the first year and we really haven’t looked back since. The offense on the other hand is his baby. The reflection and plan to action is different. I truly believe he’s a great great play designer and play caller but there is an obvious disconnect on game days that I fear can only be fixed if he approaches it the way he did with the defense.

Injecting more recovery-speak/thought, which may be completely gratuitous.  Trying to control people, places, and things is something those in recovery learn is impossible and only leads to frustration.  The flip side of that is that sometimes people in recovery take too much responsibility for things that aren't theirs.  Both aspects are hard to manage and get right, so the mantra "progress not perfection."

I suspect his intervention with PK followed the pattern I described above.  

He may not have come to clarity on the offensive struggles, but hopefully he can.  And maybe he's had an intervention with Flood but can now see it just isn't working out.

To be fair to sark most of his assistants that left, left for promotions. Lots of the guys he hired as assistants were from the staff at bama(banks, flood, milwee). He hired a homerun in PK even if we didn’t think it was initially. He hired good assistants. He just can’t do the head coach job to ensure quality control across the board with these assistants since he’s fapping to his offensive play design where he’s scheming open 10 wr for touchdowns. That’s a huge problem.
The other big problem in the last 3 years resulting in the biggest failures in the biggest games have been offensive. Which means he’s doing both jobs poorly. Despite all of the talent he’s stock piled, he has major gaps on offense. O line this year. RBs last year. Retarded play calling consistently. It’s becoming obvious he wins with talent that doesn’t need coaching(worthy) or comes coached(mitchell, golden). If the offense isn’t fixed this week(it won’t be), we’re going 5-7 or 6-6. The defense can’t will us to 9 or 10 wins this year.

This is true in theory, but Sark & Flood could have done that last offseason. They felt our $ was better spent elsewhere. If they have an irraitonal belief in our o-line guys who straight up suck, we are really in trouble.

I'm scared to re-watch the 1st Half of the Florida game to see just how awful he was. His last missed block almost got Arch killed. DT did an arm-over swim move right thru the A gap.

All this oaf does is lean after initial contact. Just terrible footwork. I don't know how you fix that.

You can't teach size, but geez...

 

I think yesterday was the first game where I spent the majority of the time watching the offensive line and nothing else. It was shocking how bad our oline performed, total train wreck.

There were a number of times a D lineman blew past him using the swim move. One of the commentators praised the technical skills of the D lineman which was a very basic move but our guy's feet never moved allowing the D lineman to just slip into the backfield untouched. 

Dude has a middle school level skill set. Most of the problems he has are normally addressed in h.s. football.

The conventional wisdom, I believe, is that OL are the most likely to bust and that individualized evaluation is the best tactic.  So stars tell less of the tale than usual.

Sure. But the higher-ranking guys hit more often even if it is to a lesser extent than other positions. Taking a few lower ranking guys on a flyer is completely fine. Taking essentially only lower ranking projects is fucking stupid. We are fucking stupid.

This is a pretty good point. When Saban was doing his "Rehab for fired coaches" thing, most of his rehab projects were being hired as head coaches elsewhere. We are not seeing that with Sark's motley crew of has-beens.

One thing I’ve debated a bunch this season is did sark have this season “scripted” in a sense of trying to be vanilla as long as possible and we are now seeing his in game faults full exposure. I also wonder why we don’t run the same plays that arch ran last year and was successful at. I dk if calling for his head is the move, we were two feet total in two plays away from being ahead. That’s football. Yeah I don’t get the practice talk, I don’t get how we taught a manning to look like a McCoy but not colt. I dk where our defense went. Too cocky? I don’t see enough impact of the stars-Simmons, hill, Moore. Why other recovers aren’t being used is maddening-we signed a great class, use them. Or go max protect and run two routes, make the reads easy and play ball. I’m not a coach, just hate seeing the same outcome this year.

It's true on both sides of the ball. Nearly all of the top end LOS talent that has powered Texas's sucess and got drafted the past couple years were Herman staff recruits.

Jones, Majors, Connor, Ojomo, Coburn, Sorrell, Collins, Broughton, Sweat, and Murphy. All brought in by Herman.

This is the first year we're really seeing a 100% Sark-made OL/DL.

I was thinking about this earlier today.  Perhaps Herman and co could evaluate talent/potential better but failed at developing while Sark and co was better at development but poorer at talent evaluation.  Just food for thought.

This is a bad spot we are in. 

NIL comes with expectations, thats the case for every program. 

NIL on our scale comes with expectations to match it. What that means to me, based on the guy I know who is putting up serious money, is the bare minimum expectation is to make the playoff. 

Sark asked for a lot and has received a lot. Its one thing for us to fall short in the red zone in the cfp semifinal. Its another to have an o-line so completely broken that your donors investment in building around Arch Manning is completely wasted for the season. Speaking of Arch, Sark looked in these donors eyes and told them if they put up the money for the pieces around him, we will land football Jesus in the form of SEC fball royalty. Sark has been telling our donors that he's a QB expert, and in his expert opinion Arch is the best hs prospect hes ever seen and has shown him everything he needs to see these last two years to step in and play at a high level. 

Sark got his money, but how does his situation here change if he goes 7-5 or even worse at this stage of the cycle? At a minimum, he will lose some donor support. At this stage, I don't think we are in a situation where our donors are going to double down when they have already given so much. MASSIVE game for Sark coming up.

The OL is absolutely the most important unit on a football team.  they protect(meaning both having a solid running game and pass pro) your most valuable asset.  It was why I wanted Mack gone.  Sark letting Flood destroy the room with his incompetence is mind bottling. 

Our OL last year was talented enough to win it all and we still had shit in the redzone.  A well coached line with that talent level should never have issues in the red zone.

A quality college FB team STARTS with OL recruiting, yet it's the one position Sark and Flood have recruited the worst. On top of that, they didn't fill in a single fucking NFL drafted player with an experienced player from the portal.

Wasn't Neal Brown hired as an analyst in the offseason to fix our redzone issues? Did he just fall off the face of the Earth or what?
