  1. Lol, not my first rodeo. I too thought Sark was a mid hire, and while I mock the aggie style of "2 semis put it on the wall" logic I too was impressed by Sarks performance in getting to the CFPs. For the record I too thought Sark was another very mid project hire, just like the others prior to his arrival all the way back to Mackovic. That said something became painfully obvious this year, well lots of things but one thing in particular. Last year, I own I was very critical of Quinn. I had high expectations for Arch and hoped with the right QB the ship would set sail. I was horribly wrong in both regards. The issue last year wasn't Quinn and this year isn't Arch. @Thatguy tried to make it clear (though I still disagree with some of his logic) but I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I saw bits and pieces on occasion. I had the puzzle mostly put together but didn't have the finished picture so was lost. This particular aspect is why I am so vehemently frustrated with Sark. In retrospect, knowing the full picture, and to a degree, I saw most of it last year, Texas had a championship caliber team. Truly. From D to QB, from OL to LB. Now ST were not great but thats a separate issue. Penalties and RZ performance kept Texas from winning a national championship. That's 100% coaching issues. That torques me, a lot. Then this year came, D has gone poop and what I still believe to be generational talent a QB is being squandered because of horrible off season choices, terrible offensive schemes and a myriad of other coaching blunders. So if it is getting worse, and I'm accurate in my assessment that NIL doners are frustrated and likely to pull money with Sark at the helm... well.... the future is bleak. Maybe I'm wish casting to prevent the doom I perhaps incorrectly see coming next year. The tea leaves I'm reading support my position, but the truth is I'm a coffee guy so wtf do I really know. Nobody reads coffee grounds.
  2. The difference between your post and the one you responded to, and many like it is the underlined. "..Think Sark will be our coach indefinitely.." You didn't write as if it were laws of physics with absolute certainty. I don't think nor believe Sark is going to be the HC next year. However, I acknowledge that I don't know that for a certainty and it's entirely possible he will return. People speaking in absolutes as if they were CDC himself and slamming on opposing thoughts with vitriolic anger has made this thread and frankly this board a lot more toxic. It's perfectly fine to disagree with one another's perceptions or takes on issues, based on logical reasoning. It's toxic to attack posters with alternative positions and absolute certainty that position is actual fact, not opinion. I know people don't agree with me, doesn't mean I think they are necessarily stupid. (There are definitely some idiots) We just read the tea leaves differently and have come to different conclusions in our opinion about the future. And that's okay.
  3. Yet, and importantly, the numbers by Bohls were pretty close and as a net she was correct. Your ridiculous "there are posters here that know" bullshit could have just been to tag @immamacor @RGBIII. In summation, you were talking shit about something not even directly quoted that was accurate. Made vague references to other posters for no reason who ended up confirming the information you questioned as true. Then you have the stones to come in here and shit on @Nicole44 again. She was accurate, you were wrong. You're a petulant little child and we are done.
  4. DingSong Sharpie Kink Sark is on the brink, I think I should call my shrink
  5. I've reach a point where trying to predict what this team will do feels like an exercise in insanity. I will watch the game with high hopes and tempered expectations. It think this is higher scoring than most anticipate. Texas is certainly capable of putting up a lot of points on Arkansas. I just have zero faith in the offensive game plan being well thought out. Similarly, Arkansas is absolutely capable of putting up points too. Hope I'm off base, that there is a great game plan and the defeat I saw in some players last game is gone.
  6. Plenty agree with that take. I'm among them, but if he does return at least acting like he will change is the minimum he can do. Still need a competent GM, as well as OC, OL, WR, RB, and DB coaches. There are a few issues.
  7. DingSong Haiku! Did you miss the memo?
  8. Hell, he can call Saban or Pete Carroll. I don't love either of those guys but its hard to argue with their success. Both of them even know how to handle bag men.
  9. You should add in GM to the mix of shit Sark is trying to handle. I'm happy to be corrected by people that know more than me but based on my reading Sark is pretty much handling the GM responsibilities for the most part too. So, HC, GM, and OC all at once absolutely results in none of them being done well. And... well...
  10. It Alabama Dingsong you idoit! You cross it with Prision Sharpie Kink and you get our offensive production!!! Even dumbasses know that reality!
  11. There may be some, but I don't recall any poster supporting Sark remaining OC and HC. I think him giving up play calling on the sidelines is an extremely rare Surly Unicorn of broad approval. Of course, I say that and someone will pop in to argue with me to prove me wrong. @David Dennison that's your cue.
  12. No sir, I put Sark firmly in the wet rib school of thought. To make matters much worse he probably likes wet with Bama white BBQ sauce.

  14. His mama called him Kirk, his daddy called him Kirk, imma call him Kirk!
  15. I differ in that I think the NIL folks are pissed both at Sark's performance and attitude. Whether the rumors are true or false people in the know or people who want him gone are pushing the narrative. Obviously it's supposition, but here's what really concerns me. If I am accurate in my assessment of who is fanning the flames (NIL doners) and Sark returns, I think money could greatly decrease. We've seen our results with a lot of NIL money. How does Sark perform without it?
