Since we lost to Georgia again, I’ll say that sark is our mark richt. It took them a while to decide to ditch him and try again but they did it and it was the right move that also worked out with their choice of replacement. 
 

we aren’t getting there with this coach.  Probably not remotely ready to give up on him though, and I’m sure the expectation is that next year we are good again with manning and others’ improvement this year. But I hope if we underperform next season again they think seriously about making a change. 
 

maybe aggy doing something of substance this year would light a fire under the collective that funds and runs this thing. 

You forgot tech and OU doing more than Texas like say... beating Alabama at home or blowing out a top ranked BYU. 

It's not just aggie that's blowing by us, its every single historical rival type team.. accept pig, and I wont be shocked if they, like Florida, MSU, and Kentucky keep it close or possibly win.

Let that sink in, because its truth.

I chalk this season up to failure in the portal. The last two seasons Texas made the semis because of the players they got in the portal, Golden, Bolden, and Mitchell.

This season that didn't happen and the holes weren't filled in, and the results speak for themselves. This team needed help at running back, O-line for certain and another experienced wide receiver and defensive back would have helped also.

And they both thought we had blown by them less than a year ago.

It can change on a dime.

That's the truth.

Vince Young isn't walking through that door, David. We're not in the Big 12 any more where you can pull a comeback against Oklahoma State. I know you love to play devil's advocate here but maybe take a second and look at the reality of this. He's a mediocre coach who can get us 7-9 wins and maybe he'll pull a rare 10 win season if things fall right. But he's not going to convert games against the better teams in the SEC. He has a ceiling. If you're fine with that then cool. I'm not but I get that unless he leaves the powers that be are fine with how things are. 

How many coaches over the last 40 to 50 years have consistently gotten over the equivalent of today's 9-10 wins a year?  You have dudes like Saban, Bear Bryant, Pedo Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Tom Osborne; keep going.  Tally them all up and compare that number to the number of big hire big money "this is the next greatest dude ever" (ala Tom Herman, Charlie Strong, etc.).

What was it two or three seasons ago where we bragged about spending $1.5 million on the offensive line alone?  And the two years after we absolutely kicked ass.

We should do that again.  I liked that.

I don't care about depth on the offensive line.

I want All-Americans on the offensive line.

You need depth, too, because All-Americans sometimes get hurt.

The kids call it Belt to A$$. 

Cannot be a head coach and coordinator for a side of the ball.  Too much is happening in the game.  Either you are not helping your side of the ball when they are off the field or you are not involved in the other two phases during the game.

Hence why so very few HC/OCs have won it all and so few do it now they are like an endangered species. Sark’s post game presser he said “we stunk in all three phases.” How can you watch defense and also offense and special teams and call plays? He is pacing the vast majority of the time the defense is on the field and squatting in his playbook the other half. Our team cannot play all three phases together as he said in his presser tonite. What he didn’t say was they stunk in all three phases bc he cannot oversee all three. Truth. It’s a huge issue. And his stubbornness about the booth and putting people up there is a killer as well. He doesn’t see it.

I think I saw this on here somewhere but, getting outscored 42-0 in the 4th quarter of our last two games is pretty much a fireable offense IMO.  The University of Texas, with the QB whisperer, and a Manning at QB, and all the NIL/Top 5 recruiting classes, etal just got outscored 42-0 in the last two 4th quarters.  Fuck that.

/edit No blame on Manning.  Just making a point that we've got just about everything any program could ask for.

Manning was not the prob

It can't be that hard.  Find the best junior offensive linemen in all of Amercian football today.  Offer them a shit load of money and let's go kick some fucking ass.

It's really hard. That's why most teams lose.

You can have the best players at every position but if you don't develop them, develop a game plan that aligns to the their strengths, develop their skill set and align your scheme to the game plan of the defense it won't fucking matter. You will get the same results.

This isn't a player issue. It isn't a talent issue.

It's a coaching issue.

This game went pretty much how ai thought that it would. I didn’t think that we had much of a prayer to win, but hoped that I was wrong. 

Spoiler Alert: I wasn’t.

Who do you want to be head coach and how long do they get before you turn on them?

Not most teams have made the last two playoffs and have all the resources in the world available to them.

Do you honestly think it's really hard for the University of Texas to money whip their way into a top 12 ranking? I don't.

I want a guy that will put focus 1 on defensive line.  Focus 2 on offensive line.  focus 3 on depth for both DL and OL.  Focus 4 on a smart QB or two.

How many times did we win recruiting national championships by signing a bunch of overrated WR, RB, LB and a few DBs?  Only to get our shit kicked in by OU because they actually recruited some good linemen on both sides of the ball?

Two years ago we went all in on paying for linemen.  It worked.  Do it again.

No. I think it's hard to win a national championship.

The guys that did it at the University of Texas three seasons ago.  I think most of them are still here but they might need to get readjusted.

Sark or someone in the NIL group nailed it three years ago when they spent millions on linemen.  Do that again.  

What exactly did that get us?

Undercoached, Underpracticed. The team wasn't ready for this game. Some of the blockers looked like they'd never played football. If the rusher wasn't right where he was supposed to be, the blocker looked lost. Terribly dissapointed for the players. Heartbreaking, really.

Arch - needed more reps - maybe a little more practice time would have been helpful. How bout running the first team D against the offense in practice. Throw in some wrinkles. Walk them thru their mistakes.

Receivers - pretty pathetic. Looked like they were hearing footsteps... like they weren't ready for prime time... nervous.

Mistakes - all over the place. Coaching...

Coaching - Sark may be in over his head. He regressed. Maybe he's lost interest in being the best.

Special teams. How hard is it to practice some onside kick coverage? ST should be easy to coach. Very straightforward goals and very few variants. 

Penalties - Weak minds ferment unnecessary penalties. 

Secondary - A disgrace.

In order to lose interest in being the best, by logic one must have at some point been the best.

Sark is and always has been mid. 

His teams lack discipline and fundamental football skills. 

He doesn't seem to mind, doesn't notice, doesn't know what those are, or is actually just trolling all of us. I dunno, but he can't fix what he doesn't know, admit or see is broken.
