That's a matter of perspective. Sure, there's something to be said for the team not taking a nose dive. However, its also fair to be upset with with the off season and early season coaching choices that put is there in the first place. NFL caliber QBs don't walk on campus regularly and for the 4 since Vince and 2 under Sark it's fair to ask when will we take the next step as a program. Needing clear changes in GM practices/leadership, and replacing Akina, Banks and Flood in a single off season is not a confidence building reality. None of that even addresses the offensive scheme. For the money Sark is making and our NIL it feels pretty reasonable to expect more.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

Based on statistical performance when weighing against the issues Arch has had to overcome in team support and play calling I firmly believe his performance matches or exceeds all but maybe 3 QBs. That said, I am certain none of us can even imagine his performance level with a good OL, offensive game plan, WRs who catch balls and an actual running game. I strongly suspect he would be heading to NYC. My real reason for responding is to echo your concerns about building "muscle memory" in alignment to both the lack of team support and shit heal game plan. There is SO much need to next step this offense and part of that is changes in OC, play calling, GM, player evaluation and play design. I wish I shared the confidence many others here do in all of those actually occurring. I don't.

I'm changing it from Seven Win Steve to Coach Swip Swap Swill.

I really am not compelled to rehash the "experience" that was the Big XII at all, much less so with any sort of nostalgic inclination. -
We were told student applications and enrollment were up by CU and how great it was for them. I guess they need to move to an Ivy League pricing schedule.

Yeah but Virginia vs Ole Miss (even with out a head coach) and UNT vs Oregon are absolutely going to expose this fraud. The 4 that truly tweak me are UNT, Virginia, Miami and ND. I presumed this would be the outcome but.. it's a joke. -
Dammit! Speaking of recruiting talent to align with scheme and creating an identity you know what doesn't fucking help?
-
I fully agree with all the points you and @Thatguy are discussing. For me the most frustrating part is a combination effect. They don't necessarily recruit the best players for the system they want to run. Is that star gazing or bad recruiting evaluation, I can't say for sure. Whichever the reason, once they get them in, they seem no to evaluate the existing talent and force them into the scheme they WANT to run. As opposed to, figuring out what they CAN run and executing that aspect. That's clear this year and last. Since this is the Arch thread, crazy news. Arch has different strengths and weaknesses than Quinn had at QB. Yet even when the staff finds a game plan that works well for the QB and the other players around him, they seem determined not to stick with it and revert instead to what they WANT to run. That leads to an offense without and identity. The undefeated teams IU, OSU and even some one and two loss teams, Tech, ND, Oregon all have a clear identity. To pile on top, IF a team has an offensive identity you can then focus how to adapt that identity to best align a game plan to differing defenses. For instance, GT is a heavy running identity team averaging about 200 yards per game. (What a dream that would be) However, what's usually worked wasn't going to against Georgia. So GT made adjustments and ended up throwing for nearly 200. It's not great, but they were badly outmatched and a very well coached D (miss ya homie) made a game of it.

aggie, UNT and Tech absolutely, positively do NOT have it better. Those were the first 3 that came to my mind.

Doesn't make it any less my lawn, now get the fuck off of it.

We agree in that regard in broad strokes but we can't let Brandon Harris off the hook for last off season and honestly, our OL didn't get to this point from a single off season. It's a team effort and the ultimate responsibility lies with the HC.
-
I agree in broad strokes with vast majority of what you're saying. However, I firmly believe that the OL issues in the redzone last year were secondary to the play calling in terms of production issues. I also think last years OL was better than okay, but certainly had room for improvement. I don't think my first point is quibbling as the RZ issue were a last year nor this year issue. They have been consistent throughout Sark's tenure.

My only request the 2 x G5 cluster fuck that some mediots have actually suggested come true, my only hope is Aggy get blown out by Tech in the first round. Because aggy is a flat round circle. Maybe UNT and OU too, so the 10 Mean Green fans that want to attend don't have a long commute to the game.
