If you want to QB development look at Will Stein in Oregon. Will Stein has Texas ties, and was given his big break by Traylor. Stein has had Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel, and has turned around the prospects for Dante Moore.

Well, Oregon honestly was where I hope Arch portals if he does and exactly who I was thinking of bringing to Texas.. great minds or something. Perfect world, instead of Arch portaling the change is made and we bring him in. That's a lot of wish casting but with PK on D and Will Stien having free reign of the Texas O with Sark doing PR type shit... money ball.

How bout that play call though! Third and 3 on the road with an offense that has been struggling on your own side of the field, let's dial up a low percentage slow developing deep shot trick play???

It's Sark dying to show how much of an offensive guru he is.  LOOK AT ME! I can call creative plays too!

I mean, contrary to what anyone expected when hired, he's done everything damn well except the OC part. Recruiting, NIL, player development, defense, etc. There are lots of reasons why he would still be the coach.

Wine ‘em, dine ‘em, and 86 em when it comes to developing offensive talent

I am hoping so so hard that Texas goes undefeated from here on out and makes the playoffs, so people have to come back on here and eat a serious amount of crow, me included.

That could happen. Texas could also lose to Vanderbilt, Georgia, and aggy.

Even if this did happen the assholes would still be happy though, I still remember the Missouri 2004 meltdown like was yesterday, the overreaction was pathetic.

There are fundamentals that must be addressed, it seems it is all mental and it CAN be addressed this season, but back then that was a throw the baby out with the bathwater trash fire.

I don’t think the HC/OC even sees any issues. We won, right?

Vandy and Georgia, yes. Aggy? No lol. We aren't losing to those frauds, especially in Austin. 

Not after what we saw against Arky. We will be much better by then. Kentucky was a trap game with our line shuffled around.

not a good press conference today. very much gave off the wrong vibes, a coach in over his head. not giving vibes of being the HC at UT 

 

I donno I dug it at the beginning 

He said the offense sucked and it’s on him, then he said a bunch of football moves then next said nobody but him it’s all on him. 
 

Props to him for recognizing it

Now give Caldwell every other series and see what happens

It seems obvious to me Sark is out of circuit capacity. The job is too much for him to continue his play calling duties. Not to mention he just had a kid. I think the guy is drowning. The product hes putting out on offense is completely unacceptable and warrants intervention. I think the reason we are seeing him revert to "game plans" like against Kentucky is because he was completely swamped with other obligations and basically mailed it in and went with what he had previously prepared. There are many many time consuming elements of being the HC at a program like Texas that can pop up out of nowhere.

Oh they saw issues, see the picture of Sark unwinding in the corner. Press conference speak seems irrelevant to me.

The question is what is his solution, he seems to think complexity is still the answer when it clearly is not.

2. imo he’s here for the money.  He has that want to get away look on his face

3 thank God Banks recommended PK.  Saved Sarks job

Sark has a tendency to treat games he thinks we will win by default as scrimmages/extended practices. His play calling vs OU and then vs Kentucky were night and day. I’m not sure what we are in for against Miss St. I don’t think Sark’s play calling has been an issue in big games we have lost so he knows when to dial it in. My biggest issue with him is he doesn’t seem to understand the effects it has on the offense. I’m not sure why he can’t just stick to the things his offense can do well vs trying to make them execute things they aren’t capable of. I’m sure he tells himself if they just would have made that block, or if Arch makes the right read or better throw. He doesn’t understand the chances of those things happening at this point in the season are very low.

Lotta truth to this.  I think it stems, again, from his overestimation of what our players can routinely execute on offense.  

The question then becomes what informs that overestimation.  And the answer to that question dictates Sark's fate as a coach.

I wonder if Sark has started to look at this season like Ewers' 2022 season for Arch. I remember Sark's playcalling against TCU and OSU almost felt punitive, like he was going to force Ewers to throw the deep ball until it finally clicked. The beatings will continue until morale improves sort of thing. We've been saying "Sark calls plays for the team he wants, not the team he has" for a long time, but I don't think he does that because he's ignorant. By the halfway point in the season, he knows what he has. I think it's because he believes we need to play those games his way so the team can learn how to be the team he wants, even if it means we lose. Which, as a fan, I hate. I think that's a dumb plan, especially in sport where next year and even next week is promised to no one. We need to play to win the games, don't worry about your 3 year plan or whatever. 

But maybe that's just me coping. I don't know. I just cannot make sense of his playcalling in a game like Kentucky. And before one of the confederacy of dunces claims its because Sark is a pussy or a moron - no, he's neither of those things. But like any coach, I think he has an ego and I think he believes that his way is the right way, and if we lose doing things his way, then it's on the players.

i think its a tradeoff of time he has available. hire a real OC

I think he believes in his team more than he should sometimes as a player's coach. When your players aren't making plays you gotta take over the game for them and get them plays they can make as the head coach. 

A lot of the more animated coaches we see are not of the same philosophy and control the team and take on the role of making them do what they need to or replacing them. I think the trust building sark does with players is somewhat unique, but it burns him when he's slow to give other guys a shot that maybe just can fucking ball on Saturdays but aren't as good culture guys during the week. 

There's a lot more what if plays with this team than any other save the 2019 longhorn team in recent memory for me. The 2020 team was completely dysfunctional as well and I think collapsed for similar reasons but didn't have the culture to really hold the locker room together.

Sark is a QB and I think he coaches and thinks like a QB. You dont ask a QB to change what hes doing because he makes a bad throw, and I think Sark looks at these games that way. Bad performance against UK? Its not the game plan, just gotta execute better next time.
