Chip Kelly is available could he be brought in to call the offense for Sark? 

No, please no. There are philosophical differences that would prevent that from working out. You can't have two offensive gurus with different ideologies on the same team. All it would lead to is arguing and eventually a splintered relationship. Bring in a young dude who wants to learn.

I think Sark was just setting up a shorter fg after the deep ball didn’t work.

I’m sure he was, but he should have wanted to score a TD. He’s the “best play caller” in the world. He believes it, Texas hired him for it. Throwing once on a pretty mid play call then running twice was what people would want from a Texas team that’s 8-2, 9-1 or 10-0. What does Texas have to lose after losing to Florida? I’ll let it go though, I’m obviously the only one that had a problem with it haha.

Sark has never not been a play caller. I am not saying it couldn’t work but how would this actually “work?”

From their 35 you’d throw once THEN run twice in a row in an effort to score a TD with two time outs? Texas has a young Superman at qb, not Vince young with his feet but capable of moving the pocket and pushing the arky defense to make a play. I feel like with 3 losses and basically all the sports world talking shit it’s a good moment to remind people Texas is still Texas. Instead we were nervous Arkansas might get the ball back and score. Mack brown played not to lose instead of playing to win plenty of times and it cost Texas several big 12 title appearances and national championship games. To each their own I reckon. 

Lol do you really think, at third and 3, any coach is really thinking "Man, the entire sports world has been talking shit about us. I better go for the touchdown here and remind people that we're still Texas, fuck the first down and fuck clock management"??

Then I can't help you.

I don’t need you to help me, but the sentiment is nice I guess. The shittiest team in the sec muffed a punt and gave you the ball at the 35 with 50 seconds. Go score a TD, try 3 fuckin times with your all world qb.  Give arch the chance to make it happen. You have your opinion and I have mine.

Except this opinion is stupid, now are we stooping for low level micromanaging about individual plays?

They just started putting Milwee in the booth since Mississippi State game. At the end of the day, since 2007-2008 he’s been calling plays. Prior to that he worked solely with QBs. I just cannot see him giving up playcalling. He’s given multiple interviews where he said his giving up playcalling wasn’t an option. So I just don’t see it happening. If it’s forced on him, how would that turn out? What would that look like? He knows that the coaching graveyard 🪦 is littered with dual HC/OC types and yet he continues to try and prove he can do both to frustratingly mixed results almost the last 20 years.

The situation you described is literally what happened at Ohio St last year and they won the national championship.

Can we just bring Gary Fatterson in as "consultant," but let him take over head coach duties and make Sark effectively the OC?

Was there a dispute or did Day just step completely back and allow Chip to run the play calling? Cuz that is the only way having a separate person be OC while Sark is HC could actually work. He would have to stay out of it and allow the OC to be OC and sark could then actually spend more time with the defense and special teams, and oversee more of the program's day-to-day functions. It’s how it’s supposed to work. It’s how we have seen successful teams work.

The HC-OC relationship is - or should be - that HC determines strategy and OC determines tactics to implement the offensive strategy. The HC should offer ideas to the OC, but not dictate. Sark not likely to do that.

it can really only work when the HC wants it to , often why the HC's non specialty side is the one with the stronger coordinator

Yep. 

The problem we have with Pheven-win Phteve is that he won't let it happen. As far as I've noticed, without looking it all up, the HC with offensive-side specialization is less likely to grab the brass ring than is the HC who came up on the defensive side. Not impossible, mind you, but less likely.

Saban kind of skews this but it is actually pretty even over the last 40 years without him(Saban is 1 of 1 that you can't replicate IMO).  what is clear, is that winning it while being the OC/playcaller is rare, and especially in recent years.  not sure how many HC's were the DC/playcaller and won the NC in the last 40.

the game is more complex than ever IMO because of the passing and parity. Getting and finding an edge IN GAME is difficult without 100% focus.

of course, if you can just mash people with the run game that is the best solution and makes everything else easier.

I was happy Sark didn't completely abandon the run when it wasn't great v Ark and it seemed we could pass at will.  31 passes/28 rushes.

Close to east cost media.  She’d love it. 
 

I was gonna laugh this out of the building but this may be perfect.  He gets his landing spot like Shaka did and we avoid a huge buyout.  They get a coach without a major buyout as the just spent a bunch of money on franklins buyout

Gtfoh with calling it a "disease". It's a lack of self discipline.

I bet if you were having this conversation face to face with him, you would have exercised more "self discipline" yourself and chosen a different way to express your idea.

And no, I'm not challenging your manhood, I'm saying your basic sense of decency would probably have engaged in person.

i dont see it happening though.
