Cool.

At least you admit it here.  Now, back to you pretending to be the voice of "reason" on this board.  Lulz

You are debating with a guy who went all in on The Eyes Of Texas being a racist song that should be scrubbed from history

I don't know that he's miserable due to his personal life issues, and if he is, I think he probably knows he can't do a geographical to fix them.  Geographical is drunk code for moving/running away from a situation.

If he's sideline-miserable, I think it's because he knows he fucked the dog with the OL and maybe some of his other decisions in the off-season.  With the OL and a brand-new QB, he put himself in a situation that any coach, including Kirby, would be hard-pressed to coach their way out of.

It's too bad it has come to this, whatever the reason, but the tale will be told this off-season.

His self awareness and humility was why I supported him initially. I ain’t seeing that now. To me that’s the biggest red flag with someone who is a recovering alcoholic. Going backward on those personality traits almost always means relapse. I have no room in my life for an unaware, pompous asshole. It seems like he’s going that direction as the HC at Texas meanwhile the outcome is worse and yeah, fuck that I’ll find something else to do.

I don’t know why I decided to go look at our conference season stats.

We lead our opponents in only two categories: average punt and penalty yards. Just inept across the board.

Jesus. It’s hard to argue with cold hard stats. What are Sark and the staff looking at after each game? Surely they knew this wasn’t sustainable? That we would eventually crater. Which we did in spectacular fashion in the 4th last night. Even though 90% of our season has been unwatchable even by die hard fans clinging to hope. Fuck.

I have three major concerns with bringing in an OC. First, Sark would still be in charge of practice schedule and keeping the NFL style and a clear lack of focus on fundamentals would likely continue. (No development changes)Next, there is a massive flaw in talent evaluation and that ends on Sark's lap. Bringing in a new OC doesn't fundamentally improve that because Sark tbe genius is still making the call. (No evaluation changes) Finally, its the HC who determines how and when accountability is met out for players who consistently fail. Wingo is the clearest recent example of making massive mistakes and being right back in next series, but there are far too many just like him. This won't change under a new OC. Hence, discipline issues will most likely continue which is a massive one for this one. Close to the most penalized team in the nation.

If you can’t crack this lineup at all but a few positions no truly elite teams would want you

This is the slowest offense Sark has had in his tenure here. It is a complete fail on his part. The fastest guy on the team is regulated to special teams. The next fastest guy can’t catch the ball consistently. I’m not even sure who would be the 3rd fastest guy.

People on this board turned their nose up on Concepion entering the portal and dismissed A&M adding Craver as a nothing burger, however they are directly responsible for the success Aggie has on offense. They injected speed into that offense and it has made a world of difference. Sark failed to add necessary WR talent after doing so in previous years. Just to not scare the freshman off, who aren’t really playing anyway and probably will end up transferring anyway. 
 

But not only are they slow, they are soft. No “dogs” on offense except Wisner and Arch to some degree.  They don’t play with any aggression or confidence. A soft, and finesse offense isn’t going to get it done in the SEC. A weak and timid offense isn’t going to get it done. We need some mean mutha fuckas starting upfront. We need football players and not athletes at the skill positions. Sark needs to reevaluate his recruiting approach, I think going into this season the staff over trusted their ability to developed based on previous years. Go get proven talent.

You don't hold Sark responsible for our current QB in system being far worse than a non-starter from Troy.

You think we should get more players from the portal because there are issues with Texas current players at multiple positions being better than the talent taught outside the system.

Its okay if you like getting talent not taught by our staff because its obvious that players coached elsewhere have better skills and fundamentals. However, if you can't understand why players from outside the system being preferential to players evaluted and developed in the system at QB, OL, DB and RB is a major coaching issue I can't help you.

Geezus guys take a deep breath. It's not that hard. We just aren't as good as Georgia. We weren't last year, and and less so this year. Anyone pissed about that Georgia game after seeing our product this yea isn't paying attention.

Here is my hitch with your last statement. The only place this staff has shown any skill at evaluating talent is from the portal, which is a very low bar. (Hey this guy is executing well at the college level, maybe he's good). They've shown they have no ability to develop existing offensive talent at all at any position. They've also shown they don't believe in discipline or accountability. 

So.. that leaves us with pulling in an entire offense from the portal. Which... isn't much of a plan.

If Sark isn't busy maybe, but know there will be no contact at all because we don't want to risk injury.

Now that Sark has made himself unhireable elsewhere, the usual step is to fire every non-PK coach.  The problem in these situations is that good coaches don't want to join a sinking ship.

How did we not bring in a special teams player to replace Roberson? Is Roberson quantifiably the worst Texas player of the modern era? His penalties, mental mistakes, and physical beat downs in limited snaps as a backup/special teams player is quite remarkable.

That game played out exactly like you'd expect based on our play this season. Never establish a running game, offensive penalties, poor situational execution, bad play calling. Sark got outcoached again. 

This season was cooked after the Florida game. I understand why people are pissed but the writing was on the wall back then. Need a very productive offseason with portal and staff changes.

Not wholly disagreeing with your post, but with respect to Concepcion and Craver, sometimes there's luck involved.

And Mosely seems to be a bright spot in the receiving corps from the portal.

I'm thinking a big part of the problem with WR is the same one with Arch.  The shittastic OL really fucked up their development curve.

To me, this all comes back to the colossal failure that is the OL in Sark's fifth year.

I really don’t see our issues as a talent/player personnel issue. The ability is there, except probably on the o-line and TE room, and a lot of that could be fixed with a better S&C program. It’s the little things that add up and separate us from the best teams in the league. We drop passes, make costly penalties at crucial times, get surprised by fakes/onsides on special teams, and have communication breakdowns in the secondary that leave guys running free. 

The guys who were making big plays for UGA last night, Humphries, Jones, Luckie, and Delp, are not players on the same level as Brock Bowers, George Pickens, or AJ Greene, and they certainly don’t have Matt Stafford throwing them passes. They didn’t have Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Mikel Williams or Jalen Walker on defense. UGA just doesn’t beat itself. They execute, adapt to what the other team is doing, and keep playing hard until the other team breaks.  
 

Until we start playing cleaner and stop beating ourselves, we aren’t going to win big games like this.

Sark needs to just lean into how bad this team is and how shitty the coaching staff has been. Absolutely don't try to spin to this fanbase that they should be grateful for prior success and that there are bigger disasters elsewhere. There's a defensive, resentment stench wafting around that smells a tad like Mack Brown, Duane Akina's mustache and crap. Stop with that bullshit. 

Last night's presser was the first time I've seen Sark veering into presenting an Iraqi defense minister spectacle.

Kirby has been through so many SEC battles (particularly against Saban), he learned early on sometimes you have to be a riverboat gambler in these huge games. Momentum is everything. Seize it when you have the opportunity. 

Sark still coaches like the game was decided during the week of preparation. He has no feel for in-game decision making and he doesn't understand or appreciate the power of momentum. Fucking wake up.

How many times during the broadcast did Kirk break down the Georgia offensive scheme; pulling blockers, misdirection easily creating open rollouts, exploiting gaps in our defensive line, etc? I thought Sark was supposed to be the offensive genius?

He’s not wrong. Sark is soft, his side of the ball is soft. It’s apparent when you watch our team that our defense plays a different style of physicality than our offense. 

PK has literally been his saving grace. Without elite defense over these past few years, this is Charlie Strong level of bad.

lol it’s not just that they didn’t recover it. They didn’t even react as if it was a fucking possibility that it might happen. They practiced it? You sure? Because they looked  surprised to me. If they had been expecting it and they were in position to recover it but the ball bounced funny, then this conversation isn’t happening. 
 

It was a coaching failure across the board. Everyone’s ass should be on the line this off season, including Sark’s

@Thatguy why does sark abandon the run like this so often? i’ve never seen a team that could win the biggest games by just replacing the running game with quick throws. does sark really think he can do that?

Then you haven't been watching carefully enough.  He's always been like that, along with 99% of meathead jock coach types.  It's a mix of narcissism and strong self-confidence, which you must have in sports. But the ability for critical self-reflection and a "hey, maybe I'm the one that needs to change" attitude is not something you're going to find in a coach. Better to cut bait and try find the dude that's already got it figured out.

Now do penalties. And time of possession. It’s always the same problems with Sark.

In the 3 games against UGA we are averaging over 9 penalties per for 65 yards.

We are averaging 26-27 mins per game TOP.

I think he calls what he sees and doesn't factor in what happened until the game is over. He doesn't stubbornly run the ball.
