Goddamn. I go to trial for two weeks, come back, and you motherfuckers have added more than 80 pages to this thread? Is there any reason to go back and try to read through all of it?

Go grab yourself a McRib and settle down for a nice story....

What happens to the 9-3 thread? Sark said it. Everyone needs to accept it, move along, season over, fuck aggy, hope we end on a high note and kick their ass. And get some practice in also. Which we appear to need. Imagine needing practice. Maybe we should have a similar offseason like what top teams do that made the playoffs next year? Maybe we should have someone tour top college teams instead of NFL teams to see what they do to get ready for spring and summer and how they practice to get better, identify weaknesses, evaluate talent, determine what plays their QBs can and cannot do, and so on. starting the year with raiding the portal to plug in holes would be nice. Showing up for Junior Day, and you know basically doing the shit elite teams do. Instead of employing things that have been proven not to work in college, that would be nice. You cannot wing success. You either practice like the elite teams do or you miss the playoffs and blow money BMDs donated, there is NO in between. For us, because we are Texas, our fans will never accept MID.

Something is wrong with Williams. That knee injury has robbed him of his elite athleticism. He’s the safety version of Baxter to me until proven otherwise. We need multiple veterans brought in to the secondary next year. 

And what’s crazy, he looks lost about half the time. I seem to remember him being pretty good before he got hurt.
All three of our losses followed a bye week (or longer)... what were we doing during the week(s) off?
 

A lot of fucking, not much practicing.

But seriously, what you missed is:
We hired a recovering alcoholic to be our head football coach, hoping that he would meet his potential if he stayed sober, and knowing the absolute shitshow that would happen if he didn't. 
Sometime before this calendar year, he fell off the wagon, and we have yet to hear the entirety of the shitshow that has followed.
The only reason we have 8 wins and not fewer this year (so far) is because we have high end talent, a pretty great staff of assistant coaches, and a great support staff and athletic department that have tried to keep boat afloat. We have won this year in spite of our talented head coach, not because of him.
 

You think this is a great staff of assistants?

Cognitive dissonance is one of the most powerful human conditions.  I just do not know how you convinced yourself that Sark, a former addict/alcoholic is incapable of falling off the wagon. 

I did no such thing.

But, as a former alcoholic, I know what falling off the wagon looks like for a guy who was fired for publicly being drunk on the job.

The nature of the disease is such that once control is lost, it's never regained, by long abstinence or human intervention.  If he had fallen off the wagon in a way that interfered substantially with his coaching duties, it wouldn't be the subject of rumors, and as mentioned previously, his football woes would be the least of them.

There are plenty of explanations for Sark's shortcomings that do not involve that.

Hard to fall off when you were never on….

That doesn't fly either.

Sark was publicly drunk and humiliating himself at UW and USC ten years ago.

If he never stopped drinking, he'd couldn't hold a press conference today without puking.  Or go three hours on Saturday without a twelve-pack or the equivalent.

An alcoholic like that doesn't get control of his drinking for a $10M/year job or an unlimited NIL budget.

It. Just. Gets. Worse.

The 9-3 thread might be prophetic if we beat the snot out of aggy and things break our way.

Stranger things have happened.

Sark should already know how elite teams practice, having spent two years under Saban on Bama's staff.

His NFL-like experience failed this year.

No, only pretty great. 

Imagine how good they'd be if their boss actually did his job.

I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video.
