I have serious questions about some of our coaches. What have Banks and Flood really done the last few years? AJ Milwee seems like a yes man. And has Chris Jackson made our WR room any better? Clark doesn’t seem so good right now and I will never understand PKs love for playing corners 10 yards off at all times.

It still hasn't really really sunk into my head how badly Sark has fucked up the management of this team.  Like i see all the evidence and my brain just won't fully believe it went to this level of shit so badly and quickly. 

Sark was caught on national tv picking his nose and eating his boogers. This shouldn’t be surprising to any of us.

This is his “winning is hard” quote that will be recalled for years. 

Pure defensiveness instead of accepting the reality of sheer underperformance this season and talking about the fact they need to improve and how. This is what poor leaders, and those who have no idea how to change what's not working, do.

So the same guy who said this, is the same guy who was resting players because he thought we were going to be in the playoffs again?

Yes. He is using the Lakers load management model for a college football team. JK. I know he’s doing what the NFL does which probably will never work in college…but damn. We might make a bowl game and the draft eligible players will load management themselves out of playing in that anyway. 

Sark’s March 2025 seismic philosophy shift to the NFL model has proven so far to be a dumpster fire. He says in his quote from the 3-11-25 interview that we have to be adaptable to change and all that. Yet he stubbornly refuses to get up in the booth.

We had year of year improvement record wise for the past four years. Despite having a shitload of penalties and OL woes and being nearly dead last in RZ offense the past 3 years we were still rolling.

So much so almost all of us thought we could expect to make the playoffs again and contend for a title. And Sark who is stubborn as heck as an OC flipped the entire philosophy in March. Let’s blow up what was actually working before with a couple of new people on staff and a bunch of new players and go batshit mode. 
 

unless you are Allen Iverson practice does actually matter.

Also, apparently Drevno has been in Austin since May. So, let's not give Sark any credit for reacting to the fact the OL play is ass.

I’m amazed.

I probably shouldn’t be, given that I’ve been covering college football and the Longhorns for 30+ years.

But it still gets me every time.

The sheer amount of people who expect absolute perfection on every snap, in every game, and from every player with no or little regard to their experience level, their talent level or the talent and experience level of their opponents.

I’m not talking about fair, honest critiques.

I’m talking about the folks who don’t seem to understand that context matters.

**

I would also like to remind folks who want to fire this coach or that coach, it was just four short years ago that Texas went 5-7. It was just two years ago when Texas finally (and legitimately) re-entered the conversation of elite teams on a national level after more than a decade in the wildnerness.

By no means am I absolving the coaches from responsibility for a team’s current performance.

But we’re a grand total of 5 games into this season. Texas has lost on the road to Ohio State and Florida. Context matters.

There’s still a lot of season left. I suggest we let it play out before jumping off bridges, starting this weekend in Dallas.

**

There was a report yesterday that Texas has added the services of an additional offensive line coach, Timmy Drevno.

That report is accurate. However, it’s not anything new.

Drevno joined the Texas coaching staff back in May and has been in Austin ever since.

Ok, so maybe Sark saw OL problems as early as last May, still too late to really fix them.

I think it's all going to boil down to canning Flood in the off-season and whatever triage we can do in the portal.

Don’t really care for the sentiment there right now Bobby. I think people are reacting fairly to what we’re seeing on the field, which is horrific.

All Gas No Brakes! The sad thing is as stunned and as pissed as I am there is like 1/3 of me still left that is fighting the other 2/3 of me that thinks we can win out. Talk about Burnt Orange Brawndo I been drinking since I was a kiddo.

How much are we paying Drevno to add no value to our OL?

Sark isn't getting much ROI for these "consultants" he's brought in. Does a competent staff need to add 'yes men' with nothing new to add?

We all watched his last game as the Alabama OC.  Even without rose colored glasses on, that was one of the best called games I've ever seen. Virtually every call was perfect for each play's situation.

We've never gotten 10% of that play calling ability demonstrated here.

I just got back from reading some PSU message boards. Really the only thing that has made me feel better after Saturday. 

They replayed the game the other night. The score doesn’t reflect how UCLA was pretty much in the driver’s seat the whole game. With interim everything on the coaching staff. Penn State BMDs have been like the frog in boiling water with Franklin. Sort of FOMO if they fire him bc he was doing well enough. And hey until last year Day was in the same boat as Franklin as far as a shitty record against top 10 teams. With the expectations for Penn State as high has they were before the season opener, I cannot imagine there is not serious discussion about jettisoning his ass after the season. Winning is hard. 😂 But getting embarrassed like that is hard too. I cannot imagine they keep him. It’s hard to justify unless they don’t care if they are middle tier Big 10 with a chance to spoil someone else’s hopes every year. And maybe sneak into the playoffs just to get throttled.

*CORRECTION: First halves

In a script that we all no oh-so-well, Sark didn’t make any halftime adjustments and Bama coasted to a victory with a very pedestrian 2nd half.

Gerry and Bobby were definitely sunshine pumping, they talked up all the positives and sounded optimistic but when it came to predicting the actual record, their numbers didn’t really match that same energy.

It’s like they wanted to sound confident and upbeat, but they still thought we would lose a few games, definitely not as much as we will lose now.

I need to invest in some blindfolds I guess. (This series of gifs with Big Bird inserted into The Birds movie is fucking righteous.)

Welp. See you guys next season. 


In spite of all signs pointing to a 5/7-7/5 type finish, I will remain irrationally optimistic up until the moment Oklahoma rapes, murders and dumps our lifeless corpse in a back alley dumpster off of Harry Hines. 

Until then? Show me a loss.
