Sark: "We have to be able to get ourselves out of third-and-long."

Maybe if you run the ball dum,,as

The fact that sark prioritized arch over Julian Sayin is evaluation malpractice 

Sorry yall, I just woke up more angry about his game than I ever was while watching the game. I’m out on Sark. Completely.

Agree!! That dude was beat UP tonight and still battled all the way through and thankfully we were able to come out with the win. It’s a roller coaster but it is for everyone right now. This is a week to week league. Arkansas took the Aggies to within 3 tonight and scored 42 points. All we can do is keep working and getting better and focus on winning the games in front of us any way we can. 

When I first started out in my own business it was definitely a sine wave, for sure.  One day I would make brilliant decisions, the next I would be a bumbling idiot.  That is called 'young and inexperienced'.  That is Arch Manning.  It will come together.

Simon didn’t even see the field last night. Baffling to me. 

💯

We had 9 runs by a RB in the second half for 30 yards ~ 3.33 yards per run. We had 3 designed runs by Arch (not including the end of regulation kneel down) for 0 yards. At the very least, handing the ball off gave us something.

The obvious QB draw on 3rd down that got stuffed was just a stupid play call. On the first drive why in the hell would you run a double reverse pass on 3rd and 2. Just why.

I’m seeing too much Pete Carroll. I want to start seeing more Saban out of Sark. Quickly.

That double reverse took so long to develop too, and I don’t recall Endries was ever open on his route. Just line up in 12 personnel and run.

12 personnel with a fullback. Do we have that package?

I’m seeing a lot more Jimbo without the championship than Pete

I think if Sayin were here and Arch at OSU, you’d be saying the same thing, but in reverse.  It ain’t Arch…

At first I didn’t think it was arch . But he was still missing wide open targets when he had enough time in the pocket. It’s week 7 and his third year in the system. But as long as he looks good on air in practice that’s what counts right?

Did Quinn get better or worse from 2022-2024? My point exactly.

I saw you say similar on 247sports and some dude was getting on your case about it lol. But I think you're right, Sark seems out of sorts this season. More than his offense usually does. 

He started in on anybody that made any critical comments at all.

For sure! Buckle up and enjoy the ride! We’ve at least got talent to work and grow with!!

Jeff, I almost fell outta my chair when I read your post.  Hilarious!

Why is Sark bragging about being 2-1 after watching that pathetic performance!

Michael Terry III is 6’3, 216. Might be our biggest option. Or we roll out a DT in short yardage lol but in all seriousness, I’d have just liked Wisner getting that carry

Sark isn’t even in the same league as Pete Carroll. If Sark was Pete Carroll, he might already have 1-2 natties.

Sark on the offense: "We've got to minimize the self-inflicted wounds and be more efficient. We weren't efficient enough tonight."

The thing that concerns me as the season goes on is Sarks lack of accountability. “Our Coaches need to do a better job..” No brother. Just you. You going to throw your coaches under the bus?? The defensive and ST staff needs 3/4 of your pay for that game. The hard part he can’t swallow is that the way to do a “better job” is to get out of the way. Get an OC. Be the HC.

I am at the point that I can't listen to post-game interviews.  Too much coach-speak.  It would be refreshing to see coaches tell the truth.  We sucked, and we have to do better.

Indeed.

This is why they call them "coaches".  Otherwise we would just need admins to make out the schedule.🤣

Texas’ MVPs yesterday:

1) Ryan Niblett

2) Defense

3) Getting the ball in field goal range in OT

Without all three of the above, Texas loses.

It’s called coach speak because every coach does it. Listening to pressers and expecting anything illuminating would be very frustrating.
 

People never seem to get angry with coach speak after a big win. Wonder why?
