I kinda did. Which is why I was blissfully high the bulk of the game. I expected more out of Sark than I should have and it’s on me. He can either be a detail oriented HC with his fingers in multiple pies and not be an OC or he can strictly be an OC. And I’ve not seen him be a HC where he ain’t the OC. And in my heart I know he won’t give that up. That leaves us in a predicament. If he doesn’t make major adjustments the offseason. I knew he couldn’t do both but I allowed the lure of his talent to deceive me this year. He has had zero answer for much of anything since Baxter went down against Ohio State and it shows imo.

He cannot do both OC and HC. Playcalling was fine. But he drops the ball on being HC because he is buried in the playbook. He drops the ball on QB development in game bc he has to also coach the team and call plays. Everyone knows you cannot do both. Sark isn’t talented enough to do both. He never will be. How much evidence from other HCs trying the same thing and getting forced to eventually hire an OC and eventually getting fired do we need? You cannot do both things, I will die on this hill. It was my primary concern about him when he was hired. He cannot do both. And it’s obvious to everyone who wants to admit it but him.

I’m less pissed about losing to Georgia than most. It’s the way we lost. The way we have looked all season. Sark’s crackhead fucked up approach to the entire season set us up to look like a middling Big 12 team next to Georgia last night. What was he doing the entire offseason? What is he doing in games? Why didn’t he address these oline issues? Why did we drop the spring game? Why did we go to NfL Prostyle practices with no contact and light contact that HAVE BEEN PROVEN NOT TO WORK EVERYWHERE IN COLLEGE THEY HAVE BEEN USED???? Why did he half ass CEO his approach to the offseason? Why? It’s year five. If something doesn’t light a fire under his ass for the way he approached this entire season he should find himself not wearing burnt orange. his other concerns are likely the bloodletting that’s gonna happen to the team and his staff. the NFL prostyle PRACTICES he employed don’t work in college, it was a stupid mofo idea. You practice like the teams you want to beat that are better than you are, they ain’t doing what we did in the offseason, the turd we left in the punch bowl last night is on him. People can do more with less talent. He can only do it if he’s running as OC of Bama with a stacked roster. He’s been a head coach at two other places and been around winning big time programs. He completely phoned it in this year and it shows. The entire season outside a few quarters in games is unwatchable and the fucking Buck stops with Sark. Period. we did not run the ball well last night. My uncle who is still relearning to walk after his stroke clocked more yards with his walker pacing in his living room watching his red raiders triumph yesterday. Jesus.

He’s a star. Watching him dismantle Kirby Smart in the playoffs, I notated Kirby picked up some tricks from Freeman’s playbook as well. It was a rough game with the terror attack and postponement and Kirby’s dad being in the hospital and dying after the game. Nonetheless, Georgia has legit 5 stars and all that. Had em all last year. The talent deficiency was huge compared to ND’s one 5 star or something. They talked up the talent on both sides bigly before the game. On paper Smart should have crushed ND. Freeman outcoached the shit out of smart. Just saying.

Jesus. It’s hard to argue with cold hard stats. What are Sark and the staff looking at after each game? Surely they knew this wasn’t sustainable? That we would eventually crater. Which we did in spectacular fashion in the 4th last night. Even though 90% of our season has been unwatchable even by die hard fans clinging to hope. Fuck.
-
That’s kinda been my ritual. All kidding aside I thank god for surly even if I get on everyone’s nerves. At least we can talk football. My mom is like “strip the ball! QB sneak! Damnit!” And that’s too much even for me. I will watch all the games. I’m just tired of missing College Football Final on purpose lol. I hide out after losses.
-
And to think my rage was contained largely to whether or not Disney would make a deal with YT so I wouldn’t miss out on critical games. I bleed orange but I need to shelve my expectations in order to be a die hard fan. It’s painful. We were fool’s gold. That’s the lure of Sark and his talent. I fully expected a close win last night since we appeared to be on a roll and we had a bye week to get ready. The end result was we don’t belong with the teams vying for a spot. We got asswhipped. Go Indiana I guess. It’s hard not to root for Cig. Especially since he re-upped with Indiana and took himself out of contention from the coaching carousel and Penn State. They proved they can finish last week. Like to see what they can do. I’d like to think we use the next few weeks and bowl appearance to get in much needed practice and evaluation and growth but I don’t know what the fuck we are actually doing in practice.
-
I like Marcus Freeman a lot but sick of ND. Half my family went to Tech so if they roll I will be happy for my family, particularly my uncle who had a stroke a few years back and is in poor health. I will hope for Indiana to fuck shit up I guess. What Cig has done there the past two years is nothing short of remarkable. Prior to his being HC there in Indiana’s entire history they never had a 10 win season, they now have two and that’s damned impressive.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Nicole44 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
It sucks, many of us who have been mad at sark all year had similar hopes. Or thoughts despite the fact that our games outside of a few quarters were unwatchable, I thought we turned a corner and Sark would best Kirby with a bye week to scheme and to build off the Vandy win. Was fucking wrong, that is the lure of sark. No one denies he’s talented. He is. Thats the lure. But the reality is mid-level team whose roster unlike in previous two years could out athlete our mediocrity into the playoffs. We fucking lost to Florida after a bye week. A Florida that is actually better without Napier. Do we beat the Florida who fought toe to toe with Ole Miss today? I don’t think we do, -
It looks right. I spell pretty decent. Stoned or not. we ran the ball well man. Well. if that’s well what is run poorly? What do most games with W’s have in common? At least 100 yds running? Or similar. We have a fifth of that. If that’s well I don’t want to see what sark considers bad.

Nicole44 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
And yet these same people possibly thought we make the playoffs easy? And then do what? Get beat by teams we couldn’t beat in the regular season? I was still fooled by the Aark talent. Thought he could pull off a Bama type win on Georgia after a bye week to scheme knowing how we failed the last two times we played Kirby. And we are left with him saying post game “we ran the ball well.” We don’t belong in the playoffs. This was not a close game. We aren’t getting a rematch. And we may not for a long while with Steverino. -
Maybe if Sark could solely focus on being OC and we just hired a co-HC to help with other phases of the ball things would work out? That’s all I can think. Because even if he stays some kinds of changes are going to have to be made to the staff and possibly approaches to other things. And that’s usually a precursor to the end. Ugghhhh…
-
Sark said in the 4th quarter we sucked in all 3 phases and didn’t play complimentary football, in his post game presser. He said we ran the ball well. Well? Is he referring to the Sugar Bowl with Sam? We aren’t running the ball well at all. We didn’t in OSU and we didn’t against Georgia. We have struggled to establish the run all year. We had ten points. It was a bitch to get those ten. And it just fell apart like a cheap suit. Like always in our losses. Yet we were still in it despite an anemic running game, and when the wheels were falling off I saw not one spark of fire in Sark or yelling or pumping shit up. I saw this be for the wheels fell off in the 4th. Who is he kidding? You can coach speak in pressers without insulting our box score reading intelligence,
-
I mean if I get coaches speak and how they sunshine pump. But his saying we ran the ball well if he isn’t sunshine pumping (which insults every person who can read a fucking box score’s intelligence) then he is insanely delusional and there is no fix? I get coach speak but if a QB threw only one pass the entire game and it was completed I would hope he wouldn’t stand up there and say “we passed the ball well.” Thats beyond coach speak that’s a mental disorder 😂
-
Thanks my laughter dissolved into a coughing fit. Pot hit me hard man. Lol. 😂 that’s funny as fuck. And somehow should be our surly slogan up top.
-
Also my brother’s in Christ, Sark has said this many a post losing game presser. who could he see about this phenomenon?
-
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. Post game presser below: https://247sports.com/college/texas/longformarticle/everything-texas-head-coach-steve-sarkisian-said-after-35-10-loss-to-georgia-261752985/#2748658

Sark’s post game presser: https://247sports.com/college/texas/longformarticle/everything-texas-head-coach-steve-sarkisian-said-after-35-10-loss-to-georgia-261752985/#2748658 i just picked a few comments. Seems unable to truly own his failure in the 4th. Put a lot on the defense. Doesn’t appear to be setting up to leave as he mentioned wanting us to play GA again. He said that our culture and player’s hearts are not in question and he has far bigger worries. Not much else, the running comment will always suck bc he’s said it after losses the last 5 years. well, sark who is in control of calling the plays? Whoooooooo is that?
-
Also maybe my color perception sucks or maybe it’s my tv or y’all’s screenshots of him in game but he looks yellow to me. Sort of an odd comment I’m making I guess maybe it’s just the tv.
-
Not for nothing for all Charlie’s ineptitude he had zero support from our administration nor BMDs. Zero. So it makes it all the more glaring when sark is given the red carpet, all the support and resources he needs and more and his talent….and we are back to being middle of the road. Bottom half of desirable P5s
-
His talent and other skills got us to a great point. However it’s his pride ego and whatever else the fuck is causing the below look in game will cause us to stagnate and slowly become less relevant. Like 1990’s relevant. Ya know? 90’s Longhorns were thrilling for a year or two but a fucking beating the rest. No consistency marked by three HCs basically. No I don’t want. But unless big changes that Sark likely won’t accept are made we are back rolling the dice. This is not encouraging. No matter what quips he makes in pressers. Something is fucking wrong.
-
Maybe he is just not spread thin enough? and he read The Art of The Deal and his only take away was don’t negotiate with terrorists so after he becomes so deeply mortally offended by the mere suggestion he hire an OC that he threatens to perform all coaching roles himself and fired everybody. Nothing good will come of this demand in all seriousness. He’s like Samson in the Bible and if we make him hire an OC it’s like cutting Samson’s hair. Nothing good. My only suggestion is him in the booth and have a guy we can trust as a co-coach to take care of all shit not related to Offense and situational shit.
