The Most Disappointing Season in Texas History

One thing is clear: both at Florida and last night Sark’s body language conveyed someone who didn’t want to be there. A neighbor who doesn’t watch football came over to return something that they borrowed. Looked at the tv saw the score and said “is that y’all’s Coach? He looks like Texas is getting beat really bad or something. You can still win this.” 
 

his body language isn’t the only thing but damn he barely reacted when we took the lead off the Shipley FG. Before we went to OT. He legit just shuffles down the field head down when the defense is on the field. 

To me, it's a befuddled look when a "genius" has a plan that was painstakingly crafted pre-game, and it's not working in-game, and you really don't know what to do next.  

That's this fucker to a T:  adjustments are minimal at best.  He was a "genius" at AL because the talent gap was noticeable and often plays did break down, but the players themselves honed and disciplined by Saban, were able to out execute and perform other teams.  Much of the real work of culture, discipline, and hard work was done upstream.  He was able to benefit from the polished final product.

2010 is still the most disappointing season we’ve had this century in my book. We played for a national championship the season prior, and Colt was to be succeeded by a 5 star QB that showed a lot of potential in the championship game, and there was no reason to believe we would take any step backwards….but that team goes 5-7.

This thread is dumb.  If we lose out then we can talk, otherwise with complete seasons like 1997, 2010-2013 Mack descent into shit, 2015, 2016 Charlie incompetence and hell even 2017 when we went out and lost to fucking Maryland in the memory bank the premise is premature.

a) 2010 absolutely in my book, but wasn't old enough to appreciate '97 and before. And beating OU covers a lot of sins in the disappointment compartment.

b) re:expectations - I think a lot of non-9.95 observers that had a clue knew that OL and WR were big question marks heading into the season. Most of them had yet to prove their potential in live games, but over the last few years the coaching staff earned some benefit of the doubt identifying the holes of the team and patching them. So, you hoped they knew they actually had enough unproven ballers to get us back to the playoffs. Well, that didn't happen this offseason, and you can put the blame on any number of things - staff evaluations, development, house settlement re:NIL, yada yada yada, but...yeah, we have problems.

The true shocker to everyone was Arch. Maybe not everyone (with reasonable expectations) believed he would light the world on fire, but the number of mistakes he makes when he's NOT getting left out to dry by his OL is tough to square with how he played last year and his pedigree.
