We should reassign Milwee and replace him with David Cutcliffe for the rest of the season.  Maybe he can help Arch get sorted out.  What we have is not fucking working.

Never give a coach a guaranteed long-term contract. It fucks with his head more often than not and you can't do anything about it. At least hold off until he wins a national championship.

I’m not as seasoned of a CFB spectator as some of you boys, but I’ve got about 15 years of solid ball watching under my belt. I can’t think of one example of a mediocre team improving week to week, so much so that they’re almost a different team by the end of the season. It’s Week 3 and you can damn near count the number of legitimate successful offensive drives on one hand. That’s not going to change overnight. That was a tough watch today, preparing myself mentally for a season of it.

Yea, it’s a 2026 fix. We’ll see if the D can keep us in enough games to keep it a respectable season.

I think we will be ok.  This team and especially Arch were the subject of ridiculous expectations.  There is no way they could have been met without a first year starter doing what only 3 people have done in the history of college football: finish #1 with a national championship, win the heisman and be drafted #1.  Well, that pressure is off Arch and this team now, and they can hopefully develop “normally” without the ridiculous hype.

We were 1-5 on 4th downs, +4 in penalties (2 providing first downs on their first scoring drive), and +1 on turnovers with really poor play from our QB and we lost by a touchdown on the road to #3.  I think that bodes well for being able to tighten things up over the rest of our non-conference schedule and finish strong.  I will be pretty surprised if this does not prove to be Arch’s worst game of the year.

You dumb mother fucker.  You need a new pastime because you obviously don’t know shit about football.

Going into this 3 game stretch, I didn’t think we would learn anything about this team. I was completely wrong. In 2 weeks, it’s become clear that:

1. Arch is awful. He can’t hit the broadside of a barn from 5 yards away. Is he the most significant recruiting bust of all time at Texas? At this point, he’s clearly the worst QB in the conference.

2. The interior OL sucks. How does Stroh have a spot in this team? 

3. The WRs are completely uninterested in blocking. Watching Ryan Wingo whiff on multiple defenders on a single play - amazing.

4.This team is incredibly undisciplined. Too many penalties every week.

Sark will need to start taking easy field goals because this team will have to win SEC games 9-7 or with defensive scores.

The title of this thread should be changed to “ I have a ton of concerns going forward.”  

My enthusiasm meter has now dropped to the equivalent of waiting at a dentist office for a root canal.   

The fact Sark can’t see Arch is broken out there is very concerning.

The fact Sark wants to continue to Call plays and be the head coach shall be his undoing.

if he wants to continue to do that despite the fact that every other fucking coach who has done this winds up getting forced to hire a fucking OC right before they get fired, he needs to get in the fucking booth. Move some of the staff around. Particularly Milwee. 
 

Sark is not super human. He can’t overcome the overwhelming evidence that coaches cannot do both. 

I love our coaching staff. I think though some changes need to be made. Shuffling around. But it’s like moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic. Eventually being both the HC and OC catches up with you. Because in year 4-5 you should be showing on the offensive side of the ball what PK is showing on his side. 
 

our red zone shit the last three years put us in like the bottom 15 % of the FBS. The basement. The last three years. Yes QB play and dudes making plays contributes. But Sark is the one constant and the red zone woes are mostly in him. Vanilla play calling that looks like he ain’t seeing what the defense is doing. 
 

Don’t believe me…look at the stats. The last three years of red zone woes and offensive metrics sho that the defense and PK are bailing our team out a TON. see the stats below.

I'm concerned Arch is Garrett Gilbert and the pressure of being the guy at Texas is too much for a guy who may just never was ready to step up to D1 given the competition he faced in high school. 3 years in this system, studying and preparing for this moment and he looks like a backup thrown in cold to try to win a game against an opponent who overwhelms him. I'm concerned he can't figure it out but I guess we'll see against Sam Houston St. Now what happens if he turns in this same performance against them? There's an entire bye week to audition the backups to step into the starting role.

Agreed.  I like Sark a ton.   I admire his testimony on the personal and professional  side and we’ve all been there with some of those same struggles and given a second or third chance to correct them.   I still think he can correct them as far as program management, but it might take this season as being an underperforming season to do it.  If next  year it’s the same song and dance (IE he doesn’t bring in a seasoned and respected OC), then “Houston ,we have a problem.”    

 I hope and pray Sark is thinking to himself everyday as he leaves his office that he is the coach of the Univeristy of Texas which is a life time opportunity he could have only dreamed about six years ago and their was a reason CDC gave him a shot and he’s thinking I better not screw this up.   He has a chance to still be a generational coach meaning he’s here for a decade plus. Or his welcome is worn out and the BMD and Alumni base demand his head which will be  the tone this time next year if a course correction is not made.

Thread title isn’t quite Alabama Ball Gargling or Sam Bradford Seems Like He Sucks levels yet, but it is trending there, and it’s making me laugh when I visit the site and see it near the top.

Garrett Gilbert? Hell, I’d take Garrett Gilbert. 

Arch Manning isn’t in danger of becoming Garrett Gilbert. He looks like he’s already become the football version of Chuck Knoblauch. Steve Sax is starting to worry that Manning might have the fucking yips.

I’m not “worried” about it, personally. I’m sure of it. That dude couldn’t be more mentally weak between the lines on a football field if he was carrying a stuffed animal out there with him and sucking on his pacifier.

The only coach I've ever seen be "successful" at doing this was Mike Leach, but that guy always lived on another planet.

Also the thing is: OCs that are good usually get poached by either the NFL or to be a HC of a college team. So most of the good teams don’t have the same OC consistency year over year. We are in year five of sark and the offense looks like he just got promoted from WR coach to OC and is on a learning curve. Our team hasn’t had to learn a new system. Or a ton of new shit like other teams. Arch’s play has not helped at all but the evidence has been staring is overwhelmingly in the face for the last couple of years that Sark cannot do both. He thinks he can. This year might be a watershed moment for him. Because if Arch cannot bail him out the focus will be on him like a laser as well.

Texas likely finishes ahead of OU in the SEC but crazy to think after 3 games Mateer is an absolute no brainer over Manning.  Sark will turn it around in the moneyball era.

Oklahoma is a better football team than Texas right now so I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion.

I think every SEC opponent is ranked that OU plays.  Also read the OU thread.  There’s serious deep seated issues in the foundation and they poor bruh.  Texas struggles don’t change those facts. Croots ain’t coming anytime soon…

No fucking chance that happens as of now. As it stands, Texas will be lucky to win 8 games.

what's so frustrating is that it doesn't fucking need to be. we have a veteran qb on the roster to can complete 5-15 yard passes to wide open receivers and seems to be not a statue. 

let him play conservative and allow the defense to win games

Agreed. Get Caldwell at least a 50/50 share of reps against SHSU, see how the two do, and go from there.

Reposting cause this belong here:

We are completely fucked. Our offense despite having multiple NFL draft picks at every position every year is vastly under delivering. Now we have a new QB that everyone is blaming for our issues like we did last year, ya know the one that was drafted by the NFL. That or the RBs or the OL, or the WRs. Hint, when these issues keep occurring on the offense with players who are fucking drafted from the 1st to 7th it ain't the fucking players. This offense is fucked and to make matters worse another 5* QB is now being blamed for ongoing issues all while Texas has been fielding the some of the top defenses in the nation. 

We need a new offensive staff top to bottom and Sark has to completely step away from it or we are basically coached by a worse version of Franklin and I don't want to be Pedo State.
