another stat from last night:

33 rushing yards on the opening drive, -10 rushing yards thereafter 

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

Yeah, I posted in the game week thread that of the last 5 games Georgia has lost since the beginning of the 2022 season, the ONLY game they lost where their opponent did not outrush them was Alabama earlier this year (and Alabama just has a weird voodoo curse on UGA). 

You have to stay with the run to beat that team.  Now maybe we just can't because our Oline is so fucking bad (also Sark's fault) but felt like we didn't even really try.

I have a theory about ex-QB's that become coaches and the hero complex they have about what it means to be QB1 and winning on the arm of throwing. When in reality the 05 Horns and many many other examples this game has always been about the same thing. 1.)  Establish the run. 2.) Stop the opponent from running. 

 

It allows you to control the pace of the game. You can offset talent deficiencies. Running the football is like a fight. Everyone is tasked with whipping the man in front of you. It's why it's demoralizing when you can't stop it. You're getting bludgeoned over and over and over. Then the knockout punch with a deep shot. 

 

I've noticed coaches that are ex-OL and ex-Defensive players understand and press into this.

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.

One of the games I watched earlier in the season, the broadcast team was talking about Craver.  
 

They said Will Lee told the coaches last season that Craver was difficult to cover. When Craver entered the portal, they went and got him. 
 

No luck involved.  Just first-person review of his skills.  
 

Ask the players. “Who gave you the most trouble that is now in the portal?”

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.

I think we could’ve made a run at the Branch kid from last night

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.

Then you realize he actually doesn’t have self awareness so half of the reason you liked him disappears and you find out he’s just a typical arrogant coach

Okay, then I'm stupid and am thinking of if the kick goes straight into the air.

Yes, if an onside kick is airborne and hasn’t first hit the ground, the receiver can call fair catch and force a penalty if contacted. It’s smart football. We do not have a smart football team. It starts at the top.

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. 

 

Keep in mind the same dude you are praising has been worse than us over the last two seasons collectively.

Well, Sark is correct in the regard that this game WAS decided during the weekof preparation. Mostly because its pretty clear there wasn't much preparation at all.

This is why I'm good with Sark leaving.  He's married to his "genius" as a playcaller.   we hit the 40 yarder to Mosely.  then throw 3 straight passes.  yes they were dropped but damn you know you have guys that drop balls constantly.  establish the run. here is your chance.  You want 125 yards rushing and you completely abandon it when you have the chance to establish it.

He also doesn't employ a QB run game at all.  Kirby must love playing Sark. the QB run game at the college level is a game changer, ESPECIALLY if your OL is deficient.  we play with one hand tied behind our back.

Whether Sark changes or gets fired, can I has spring game?

Still pissed about that one.  I get the no injury excuse, but wasn't there some secondary thing about getting players poached?  Lol at that one.

Spring game should be about competing imo. Yes it doesn’t mean much in terms of the grand scheme of spring practice but it’s a chance to compete in front of the fans. That competitive nature should have our players salivating to compete and hit someone

More than the X's and O's (which are nowhere close to "genius" level) he is a piss-poor motivator of men. The players do not respect him. They fear him about as much as they fear a substitute teacher. Maybe it's not a country club atmosphere anymore, but it's definitely not a place where anyone is afraid of fucking up.

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. 

The fucking penalties make want to punch a duck to death.

This is the first low rushing game where the efficiency didn’t match the attempts. In the previous games we weren’t running the ball against Georgia at all. It was completely futile. Last night however, the run game was there especially the first quarter and he just didn’t go back to it. Got down 14-3 in a hurry and it’s almost like he panicked. Defense figures it out and the first 2 plays in the second half were runs that didn’t go anywhere and the run game was shunned again.

We’ve been horrible for the most part at running the ball this year. The short and quick screen game has alleviated that struggle to a degree and we had success doing it. Kirby has had Sark by the balls in the trenches in previous matchups. Makes sense for Sark to try and find new wrinkles in the screen game and use it against Georgia. But who would have thought that this Oline could put together a run game against Georgia this game? Apparently Sark wasn’t believing what his eyes were seeing.

The guy has won multiple NCs while playing in the SEC. His shortcomings are nothing compared to Sark’s. Strange argument.

And let’s be real, outside of UGA, our SEC schedule has been very favorable these first two years.

And there’s his sales pitch and why any NFL team looking for a coach should grab him immediately!

all he needs is NFL talent for his offense to work, he just needs to go to a team that has NFL players at every position.

They are a better program. They are THE most talented team in the country from a recruiting standpoint. He is supposed to beat us. He is supposed to beat everyone. Every year. Only Ohio State should touch them. But they still lose.

Took Kirby 6 years to win a title

He’s coaching at Georgia which is not a traditional blue blood, and there was this other guy at Bama. He played for the title in year 2 and lost in OT.
The idea that Sark and Kirby’s deficiencies are somehow similar is moronic.

Listening to the IT post-game podcast from last night. The former player Drew Kelson is patiently explaining to the YouTube “post all the plays” guy Nash why Sark got outcoached last night, not as a play caller, but as a head coach. Says Kirby’s feel for the flow of the game is so much better because he doesn’t have his head buried in the play sheet trying to figure out what his next plays will be. Nash took the position that no one could have seen the onsides kick coming. Says Sark has been aggressive on fourth downs but players just don’t execute. Kelson asks why that might be in year 5 and Nash says we have young players who haven’t been here 5 years. 
 

Nash is clowning himself and Drew is too polite to dunk on him like he deserves to be.

Kirby has out-recruited everyone for years. You should look into it. He shouldn't lose. Ever. Us losing to him actually makes sense.

Why don’t you compare and contrast the deficiencies of each coach and give us a list? What point do you think you’re even making? It’s ok that our coach sucks because coaches aren’t perfect? Cool

Assuming he doesn't leave on his own accord, Steve Sarkisian will either give up play calling duties at Texas or he'll get fired. He's not good at being HC and offensive play caller. He should at least try focusing on the HC part.
