He needs to call plays all game like we’re down 17

Amen.

 

I couldn’t tell if Texas OL simply started picking up the MissSt DL, or if Miss St changed their pressure packages (dropped into prevent), but either Sark/Flood started coaching or Lebby fucked up when they were up 38-21.
 

from that point on, Arch had enough time and played so much better.

 

what a throw by Caldwell, what a catch by Mosely. Defense went apeshit to end the game.

That’s why I said the better offense part lol 

The refs certainly did fuck us, but we have a trend of collapsing 3+ TD leads dating back to his first year here. The defense completely mailed it in after the missed DPI on Mosley.

There were two drive sequences today I had some heartburn about. 1st and 20 after a BS holding call he calls three straight wide passes behind the LOS despite the fact Manning was dialed in throwing today and then our last drive again because Manning was dialed in and hitting checkdowns, I wanted to see him trust Manning more after his great start.

But he also made some good aggressive decisions like the 3rd and 4 that should have been DPI where Mosley was clearly held. That moment right there is a good spot to go for the kill by putting your foot on the gas and that's exactly what he did.

This season has felt lost from the 2nd game. Weak performance after weak performance. Yet here we sit at 7-2 playing playing the best ball of the season. Thank God we got those 2 ugly wins on the road and that the ball bounced out of bounds today. 3 straight ugly wins equals 3 wins. TEXAS!!!

Fucking stupid posts. Ref ball kept this from being an absolute blowout. Or did y’all want Sark to air it out with a multiscore lead and only 5 minutes  left in the game?

Agreed about the ref ball.

I hope he doesn’t sniff his own farts and eat his boogers in Athens. The ONLY time his offense has been productive this year is when they spread the field, put arch in the shotgun and even go 4 min offense. 

Don’t be a nimrod versus Georgia sark, come on man.

Sark, after ramming his and Arch's head against the wall for 8 consecutive games, finally decide to stop his retarded slow developing plays with no Oline and go with spread concepts.

So he isn’t quite as stubborn as this board thought, progress?

You guys could manage to complain during a blowjob. Shut the fuck up in here for a few weeks until our first negative play against Georgia at least.

Still think he does a lot of stupid shit but you can't hate 7-2 

We were preseason #1. Outside of the glorious 2nd half in the OU game and some good times against Sam Houston, the games have been a beating with large portions where I wish I was watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix with my wife.

My mother is 90 years old and yet she can tell when a team is going to start really moving the ball because…

”See, they spread their players out wide and then they started moving down the field.”

If my mom can figure out that the spread is effective for any number of college and pro teams, then you would think that Sark would see how helpful it could be for Arch & Co.

Rod Babers has a good quote he pulls out from time-to-time about football being a constant struggle between who you want to be and who you need to be in order to win.  Whoever said that is right and it applies to Sark and every coach.

We're witnessing sunk cost fallacy unraveling.  This is not unique to Sark, every coach, and every one of us has succumbed to it:

  • "They're only offering how much for our house?!  Let's let them walk and hold out for a better offer..."
  • "My raise should have been larger, but the benefits here are good and finding a new job in this economy is tough..."
  • "We've put $1M into this project and it's now 18 months behind schedule with little to no hope of finishing. Let's try putting just a few more months of time and money into and see if we can turn it around."
  • "We made this acquisition of a company whose product should be an easy upsell for our sales team. It's been 5 years and it's not working.  Let's keep trying, we paid so much for it."

The difference is that 1) Sark gets to go through it in front of all of us and 2) we get to be neutral outside observers who don't have the sunk cost to trap us.  The sunk cost for Sark is his belief in himself and what he thought the team was, and all the work they put in during the Spring and Summer install to get there. Turns out that didn't work and now it's adaptation time.  The adaptations are working, for now.  But just like the couple who really really really wants to hold out for the better offer on their house (which isn't coming because they overpriced it), Sark is having trouble letting go of his vision for this year's team.

Hopefully seeing the offense come to life will cause him to shrug his shoulders and say "welp, they apparently can't do the stuff I wanted but they can do this other stuff, so let's do more of that."

UN-fortunately, the reason Sark wanted to stick with his original install is because it gives us more chess moves against high-end competition.  The current version of the offense works vs. Vandy and MSU; it won't work the same vs. UGA.  But partially working is better than doing nothing at all so...

I think that part of Sark continually trying to suck his own dick is that he sold players and their parents the idea that he would run a pro-style offense that would prepare his players for the NFL and would make them higher draft picks and better prepared to play early in the NFL and command more for their second contract. 

This team isn’t capable of competently running a pro-style offense. This team is lucky to only have 2 losses at this point and to still have a shot to make the playoffs.

Only those 2 games? Not the 4th Q against MSST or the first 3 Q against Vandy?

Yall are gonna lose it when he comes out in 12 personnel and does some dumb shit on the first drive against Georgia.

I’d bet good money he opens this way or he retreats to it early. Like a dog that eats its own vomit. Completely unaware.

The Sark disconnect has become pretty clear.  His talent is unable to run his preferred schemes with consistency.  It's been his bugbear since he got here to a greater or lesser degrees.

The talent drop-off (or different skill set if you prefer) this year has slapped him in the face with that reality in a way the previous couple of years did not.  And seems to have forced some adjustments that we haven't really seen before in the OU game plan and Vanderbilt.

The question then becomes:

  • Is he too stubborn to see what's in front of his face in practice and game situations
  • Is he being deceived by assistant coaches as to the actual capability of talent
  • Is he so distracted by personal matters, the duties of a HC, or some combination that it permits him to maintain his illusions

Or some combination of the three.  That he has adapted a couple of times indicates perhaps that he's not so stubborn.  Curiously, he has adapted against our more highly ranked opponents and reverted to tendency against lesser opponents, which shows some degree of inflexibility or stubbornness:  he thinks we should be able to run his preferred schemes against SEC cellar dwellers, but also "admits" that we can't against top 10 opponents.

I'm not sure hiring an OC solves any of this except perhaps distraction, if it frees him to pay better attention to other things.  It might help, too, if that coach is unflinchingly honest with him about what the talent can and can't reliably do.  But that can be addressed with assistants other than the OC.

He says it wasnt the plan this past weekend to go with short throws and screens, but it was working so well he just went with it

motherfucker, how are short quick passes and screens NOT the game plan? Have u even been watching our OL? It worked well with ou. Dude is fucking clueless sometimes

Well, it is kind of hard to plan an offense on plays your QB has previously showed a marked tendency not to make. That's kind of what we're bitching about in the first place.

I enjoyed 2 games, yes. Miss St was a shit sandwich. The team had to exit the stadium like they stole something.
