If shanahan had a chance to redo the series, let’s say with some premonition that his kicker shanks it. You think he acts more ballsy and goes for the TD? That’s my point. How often do these guys, in the few seconds they have, get it right? Shanahan is a fucking wizard too, he probably gets it right more than most. Sark according to surly is a game day mongrel, just incapable of adjusting to the game flow. I guess it just surprises me the weird shit we expect of coaches and the program when we know damn well it has a low probability of happening based off history. Yeah I’m betting Shanahan throws it with a hot QB vs OU if he was in charge, but that’s my opinion in this hypothetical scenario. I also think he’s a much better coach than Sark, but that’s just one man’s opinion.

October 16, 20232 yr Did anybody watch the end of that 49ers game? 45 seconds left with no timeouts, shanahan calls a fuckin run up the middle. They then went to the line to spike the ball. His field goal kicker is not reliable. He missed it lol. Forced with relying on a shit kicker or going for the TD with your weapons hampered and your OL struggling he decided to kick the fg. That sounds eerily similar lol. I’m sure it’s because shanahan is a pussy and didn’t put his players in the right spots to win lulz. I’m probably being an asshole, maybe it’s apples to oranges. Uh yeah not comparable at all.

San Francisco was not playing its only rival in the biggest game of the season- a game that determines every year whether or not a championship will be on the table for the 49ers.

October 16, 20232 yr I was ALWAYS worried about Oklahoma, I am every year, because it's a rivalry game. We gave away 14 point on interceptions, and failed to make a goal line conversion that costs us another 7. But if you want to put money down on Steve losing 2 more regular season games? Refer to GIF.
October 16, 20232 yr Bear in mind, the same guy who gave us the immortal Roll Left also gave us Route 66.

October 21, 20232 yr Fuckin' hell. I don't want to hear any more talk about how much of an offensive genius Sark is. UH defense's strength is the DL, they're dropping everyone deep into coverage, leaving the short passes open. So what do we do? Call runs right into the line (that work sometimes, but usually get stuffed) and passes that the QB has to call check downs. Why don't you... I don't know... call short passes and kill them with them until they stop you? They're leaving that open, why not exploit it? I'm pissed. I'm frustrated. I'm furious. I was never on either the "fire Sark" or "keep Sark" bandwagon but I'm starting to choose a side and it is not the pro-Sark side.
October 21, 20232 yr I disassociated myself from the Dallas Cowboys a few years ago when it became clear that Jerry Jones couldn’t manage a franchise effectively to win. This game imo is a pivotal moment for the program. I think it’s showing that Sark isn’t the guy, and we may be headed for a dark dark period.

We just need a coach who can take advantage of it.

Even if we lost today this team would be 6-2 with a win on the road against a top 10 team. Sark may not ultimately be the guy that gets us over the top but he isn’t leading us into any kind of dark period. Get a fucking grip.
October 21, 20232 yr Serious question: Is Sark shaving points? I mean, we blew two 14-point leads last season, and we almost blew a 21-point lead today. It's as if he wants to win, but doesn't want to cover, and sometimes it backfires more than he meant it to and we lose. I'm not sure how else you come out and dominate for 1.5 quarters, then completely stop what was working, this frequently. Christ, this is some annoying ass shit.

Anytime you beat a team 49-0, they will likely have you circled on their schedule the next year. Even though we should win if we play OU again, I wouldn't expect it to be a cake-walk at all. It's pretty obvious that they are a much improved team this year. They looked pretty even with us physically, and Gabriel is good enough to keep them in any game. Yea like when ou beat us 66-13 or whatever and we followed it up with more losses.

We finally got the fast start and he eased up for whatever reason. If we start slow he calls plays with a purpose. It’s just super odd. It’s like he doesn’t take every series with the intent to score, like he thinks “you know we just scored easily so let’s work on some plays that haven’t worked to see if we can get them to work”. Some series are so amazingly executed and set up then the opposite happens for multiple series after that.

Houston had a pretty good gameplan, and despite what people here believe they had the answer to our shortcomings. We have not had a great pass rush. Our edge players are just average at that. We also are average on the back end. UH, despite their shortcomings, are solid at the skill positions. On defense they just played prevent, and what they were doing to our interior O-line was causing us problems in the run game. It is what it is. On to the next.

Man, Bama is 6-1 with their only loss being to us. I think you aren't giving them enough credit. They aren't what they used to be but they are a very good football team and we beat them in their stadium convincingly. The team came out balls to the wall today and lifted the gas pedal. Happens all the time to the best of them.

I don’t want to discredit our win, but it makes you wonder how they would’ve fared with a a better OC. I don’t miss TH at all and I’m thankful for Sark’s recruiting. However, Sark playing OC and HC does not seem like a good setup and the team has turtles so many times over the past 3 seasons. The turtles and the wtf calls (fake FG) are what drive the comparison with TH. I hope he can recruit his way beyond this being and issue, and hires an OC. Until then, this will limit us from being a conference championship and CFP level team.

Sark as an OV wouldn't go pussy mode and turtle like he did after going up 21 he'd do his job and score fucking points until the coach told him to chew clock. Since he's both he decided to turtle and play conservative, but not really chew that much clock or even press the run and stretch the field. He just can't do both roles.
