Worthy had academic issues i believe at Michigan. Banks was going to Oregon until mario left and jimbo failed and handed us hill. Good on sark for capitalizing but he lost the initial recruitment for a reason 

I think we lost initial recruitment because the program was mostly a dumpster fire when we canned Herman. 

Regardless, I’m tired of losing to GA.

Michigan wasn’t going to accept a Spanish credit he had to enroll early so that’s how we got him

Sunshine pumpers during recruiting season: "Stop criticizing the coaches. [Insert big-time recruit] was never coming here."

Sunshine pumpers during the regular season: "Stop criticizing the coaches. We were never going to beat [insert big-time opponent]."

On offense, I can buy that player execution cost us, rather than in-game playcalling. Sark was dialing up solid playcalls. But we were undone by the complete lack of a ground game, receiver drops and OL mistakes. Like I've said countless times, though, part of coaching is coaching up your players so they can execute your calls, or finding them through the portal. We did neither. Sat pat with our miserable O-line and desiccated RB room. 

On defense, we prioritized bringing in players who could execute. The issues there were solidly in-game coaching. Bobo coached circles around PK, repeatedly punishing our soft zone and then exploiting our belated aggressiveness for big gains by A) shifting WRs to cause confusion on the backend and B) repeatedly sending out safety vales to the open flats when we sent blitzers. Our secondary has regressed heavily from last year without Barron and Mukuba on the field, and without Terry Joseph and Blake Gideon on the sidelines.

Sark’s next challenge to cap the season will be to see how tough the team competes with nothing on the line and who opts out. Good luck.

Fucking exactly. He absolutely refuses to adapt to the players he has.
Say all you want about Mack and GD not getting credit for VY because they “stopped coaching him” but what they did do was install and entirely new offensive system to utilize his best skills. Sark would never and has never shown an ability or even a desire to do similar.

What are you talking about? The system we have been running for 3 games now is not at all Sark’s primary preferred scheme which we had been trying to force the early part of the season.

The only difference is that we are making shorter throws primaries and calling more gimme passes.

We are running the exact same dumb pass pro stuff, we still don’t move the pocket, we continue to put arch under center and have him turn his back to the field with play action.

my background is software dev. when someone goes from dev to team leader (think coordinator) his day to day coding is reduced. once he makes manager or second line manager/director his day to day coding and design becomes infintesimally small. if he was to keep coding and designing, he would not be delivering the broader objectives set for him by his vp/svp. When this is understood by x00k employees why is it so hard to get into the head of our 11M coach.  we see a meddling owner in the cowboys, symptoms might be different but the disease is the same. do your job. which in this case is hc. your oc isnt coming up with plays to your liking; give him feedback during game prep or get a new one after the season if its still not working. you have 1 KPI and 1 KPI only. Ws (implies a 4Q game with like talented opponents).

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.

The dude you’re arguing with… thought Charlie Strong deserved more time…

Now go look at Indiana

Indiana has only beaten Oregon. They haven't beaten playoff quality teams. They are just beating tier two level teams, which is exactly what we've been doing. We largely beat the teams we are supposed to and lose to teams better than us. Florida is the only outlier. Texas isn't sneaking up on Georgia.

and you thought Sark wouldn't win more than seven games. Back to back playoffs, and this year being a down year, he will still likely get to 10 wins. Even after scheduling the National Champs out of conference.

No we aren't Hobbes @scottsins is correct. We've dumbed down the offense a lot. We threw away the RPO game, played way less 12, and run a lot more simplistic routes overall. Stops, comebacks, outs, and slants are way more frequent. You are right we aren't moving the pocket but moving the pocket brings levels concepts into play and Arch has struggled with those so maybe Sark doesn't trust it. Who can say what that man is thinking.

I can absolutely envision Arkansas getting out to a 21-point lead in Fayette-nam, Sark sulking around on the sidelines, and the team losing something like 40-28. The weaknesses Georgia exposed don't really even need great players to exploit. Hell, you saw Florida and Mississippi State do it. Now imagine a rival at home coached by a guy motivated to shed an interim label and rewrite a legacy shattered by The Undefeated.

Sark is in way over his head.

You’re talking about simple changes to route concepts. I’m talking about actually tailoring your system to your personnel. We haven’t changed our overall system to any real degree. We still run stupid pass pro concepts that involve pulling lineman without moving the pocket behind it, we will try to run under center play action regularly, and we still refuse to utilize our QBs athleticism in any real way. We run Sarks system with more stops. What an innovator.

“Sark, another Saban acolyte, has a tendency to turtle up in the biggest moments. And it could make for an uncomfortable offseason for Sark and the rest of his staff if Texas doesn't make the College Football Playoff this season. No matter what anyone tells you, that dream isn't completely dead for Texas if it can win out, particularly over No. 3 Texas A&M, but there's no question the path just got more treacherous. If Texas ultimately does miss the playoff, it'll represent one of the greatest disappointments of any college football program this season given the significant financial investment in this roster. And it starts leading to questions wondering if perhaps Sarkisian's window to win it all is narrowing after back-to-back semifinal losses the last two seasons. 

Whether it's the red zone issues, the dropped passes, the inability to put together a cohesive and competent offensive line to protect Arch Manning, there are plenty reasons to be frustrated with a Texas team that is less than the sum of its parts.”

Several in the sports media have written many pieces the last 18 or so hours. All the same. You can pick apart individual writers and slam them if you want but you are fighting a losing battle. Most anyone with a fucking brain thinks similarly even it it’s just a tiny portion of the above excerpts I quoted from the article.

So again this is where the sports News Media is at this current point. Be it local. Be it national. Be it a blogger or a true sports reporter behind a big brand or a op Ed writer they are all basically saying the same thing.

 

i guess We will have to see what happens in the offseason. But people no longer think Arch is the problem man. They see it as a Sark thing. Regardless of how Sark or his defenders choose to see it

Yep.

But he's our guy for at least another season. Probably two.

This needs more attention, I feel like the 5 stars Texas gets are athletes that have to learn the position they play. Jt sanders, worthy, Mitchell, Ant Hill, and now wingo. Bama, Georgia and Ohio state have guys show up that play that specific position really well already and are also athletes. It’s still a coaching issue, Mack-Herman-Sark…it’s systemic. I don’t have an answer but at some point what Kirby said has to happen. Find mother fuckers who want to tear your heart out to win then pay those guys. If wingo is a 5 star then I’m Santa Claus. 

Yep. The guys we've gotten that can play weren't supposed to be here. We aren't getting tier one athletes. We are getting projects. I think what has happened is we were so bad at development for so long on the offensive side of the ball that the negative recruiting is working. I mean what high level offensive talent have we put out? You can count it on one hand. Sark is going to have to get really creative to make up the difference. That's what we needed last year but he wouldn't budge on changing things up, and we could still win in spite of it. This year is not that. He has to not only get more creative offensively, but he has to pull some of the youth into the game.  We stumbled on Brooks because of injuries. Who knows who the best receiver on the team is. Could be someone on the bench.

Probably, but that win in Eugene was impressive.
