  1. Some issues have been present throughout Sarks career. Penalties, under performance from top rated QBs, offensive line issues, red zone issues, in game adjustment issues and player development. They've never improved and pretty easy to argue that they've gotten markedly worse in some cases. So while there have absolutely been improvements in results and elsewhere, there are equally glaring issues that are pretty fundamental parts of coaching that have show zero improvement.
  2. Nope, I don't want everyone to think like me as then they'd all be crazy. And I openly acknowledge my vision of what may happen is just my vision and it could be incorrect. You leave no room for alternative options most of the time. Opposing view points or perspectives are not worth considering. It's fine, I love you just like you are. Mainly I dont think Sark will change his behavior as he has shown zero willingness to do so. Further, in history on any topic, when there is a lot of smoke someone is fanning the flames. In this case, I don't claim to know who is fanning or why, but someone absolutely is somewhere. This leads me to conclude there is a very real possibility. Whereas you state your position on the matter as fact not opinion. Again, with no margin for error. You no more know about what CDC is going to do than I do. Sark wasn't his choice and making the playoffs is a reasonable expectation for both CDC and fans given the resources Texas has at its disposal. So is winning at least 1 of 3 games against the top team in the conference and making the conference championship. Rather than continuing to keep pace with the Georgia, IU, OSU, Aggie, Tech and Oregon teams of the world we are showed a huge drop in production rather than improving year over year. Further, squandering known talent so visibly as we are with Arch is a bad look and all media are starting to point out Sark is the issue and not Arch. That reality reflects poorly on a AD and it absolutely has negative impact on recruiting. I do know that many fans and media are very aware of the issues Sark's team continues to show. I am certain CDC is equally aware. That the possibility exists of change is pretty obvious for many. Some refuse to acknowledge realities. Particularly that college football is a billion dollar business and what happened or how things used to work don't anymore. Will a change happen, I think it possible perhaps likely. Lots of indicators to support that position. Will there be a complete overhaul of the staff under Sark, also a very real possibility. See... I don't want or expect you or anyone else to think like me because it requires some objectivity and consideration of all possibilities. So for others to think like me it would require them to be honest about the state of Texas football, honest about the personality Sark has displayed, and willing to acknowledge they might be incorrect on their position. I know better than to expect any of that from this place or anywhere. Notice how I never told you to deal with it nor laid down absolute certainty of my position? I still love you amigo even when we disagree so don't take this as me slamming you as a person. I think you're good people and that matters more to me than your opinion, my opinion or who ends up being correct.
  3. There is no more certainty that Sark says than leaves. I acknowledge that reality. You however seem absolutely incapable of even considering your take may not be correct. That's what you do. We'll see.
  4. I'm not discussing the merits or lack thereof regarding Kiffin. I'm talking about your Christian fundamentalist take that the only reason people want Kiffin is because they are evil sinners and want to worship him. Do you run a Bible study for pre-teens? Its shit and so is your posting.
  5. If that were true we'd all be massive fans of Jeff Banks and rather than Kiffin we'd all be hoping for Bobby Petrino. But we aren't at all. So your point is pretty fucking stupid and makes you sound a lot like a Christian fundamentalist.
  6. If what you're doing at your job isn't working, consistently and you refuse to change, you should be prepared to lose your job. If you make millions of dollars at one of the highest paid football jobs the expectations are high. If you can't meet them, you should be prepared to lose your job. I don't understand why fans give slack to a millionaire head coach that they wouldn't get at their company nor would they give to their employees.
  7. Replace Ole Miss with IU, Oregon, OSU, Georgia on replacing starters. Add Lubbock and CS to the hard to win places. The go read all the posts saying it was a rebuilding year for Texas and Longhorn fans have unrealistic expectations. Try not to break your phone.
  8. Problem is so big. We need a new GM, new OC, new OL coach, new RB coach, new secondary coach, new S&C etc etc etc. Some of which coach from a box like winners do. And Sark need to focus purely on HC. Then there needs to be serious discipline and practice adjustments. Does it sound like the entire system needs to be overhauled from the top down and ground up? Yep. Is Sark likely to fully comply with those needs? Doubt it. Is there a simpler solution? Indeed there is.
  9. Don't agree with this assessment of GT who I've watched closely all season but time will tell.
  10. Indiana, cause I've got friends/clients that work their and I like what and how they are doing it. Georgia Tech if they make it. A top dark horse and complete underdog.
  11. A Niblett away is hilarious phrasing and sadly true.
  12. All true, but nobody would give a shit if that was happening to aggie
  13. This wasn't a just road loss, it was an embarrassment.
  14. Not really. Pretty much any HC would love the opportunity to coach at Texas. Not true for aggie. Texas desirability is not the issue, it has historically been the selection process.
  15. I think the powers that be have been putting out feelers a LONG time. As in, last Spring. I think the fanning of fire has been restrained while there was a possibility of making the CCG or CFP. Now, with the 3rd loss in a row to Kirby and 0-5 against top programs, all while being eliminated from CFP and CCG possible appearances the gloves are off.
  16. This is the key point. Couple it with the reality that in only his second year Elko is vastly out performing Sark (related to this year and Sarks second year), Indiana university is showing how its done with fundamentals, great NIL and recruiting evaluation, Oregon rinse repeating success Texas stands alone. Alone in poor resources management. No staff in the nation is doing it worse, that still has a job.
  17. I'm going to speak broadly from a sobriety perspective for a moment. The first step in change is recognizing that you have an issue. To date I've seen zero examples, not one of Sark making any notes of issues relating to the coaching. He's pretty much blamed players to this point and blatantly missed glaring errors. (Running game comment vs Georgia and onside kick comment) Once you recognize and acknowledge you have (a) problem(s) you have to take ownership of the issue(s). I don't recall Sark ever taking direct accountability for poor game planning and preparation. Third, you have to want to change. Own step 1 and 2 and decide to change. I agree with you that people can change but the hard reality, be it career, personal life or addiction is that it is extremely rare. It just is. The fact that I've seen no steps or acknowledgment from Sark on step 1 and 2 gives me zero faith that at any point he will reach 3. Perhaps that will change but I think for that to happen he will unfortunately for him have his "gutter" or "low" point. I firmly believe that point has not come and he will no longer be coaching at Texas when it does.
  18. This aspect hasn't really been talked about much anywhere but shitty coaching aside the players, particularly on defense, but really all of them seem to be edging closer towards disinterested or lack of faith. Georgia it really felt like the players not only poorly executed a bad game plan, but had no faith in it from the start. That's a very clear sign of a) "culture flaws" b) a coach losing a team or c) both Also, the glamor aspect is far better particularly if you're closely tied to an influencer.
  19. Are you familiar with the story of the scorpion and the frog? Right!!! Texas should fire him. He doesn't belong on the Texas coaching staff!! Wait...
  20. I prefer "Go suck somewhere else" but you're not wrong.
  21. This team has lacked and continues to lack fundamental aspects of game play. This team has lacked and continues to lack sound player evaluation which is not on 9.95ers but the coaching staff. (Saw a mediocre boxer knock out a nobody) This team lacks and continues to lack game plans that align to the strengths of the players. (No study of the boxer during spars for issues and strengths) This team has lacked and continues to lack player development. (Too much time on weights not enough bag and sparring work) This team has lacked and continues to lack game plans that align to the strength and weakness of the opponents team and strategies. (No jab, no body blows) This team has lacked and continues to lack the ability to put teams away despite substantial leads at various points. (no hook, no uppercut) This team has lacked and continues to lack in game adjustment to specific strategies the opponent has deployed against Texas. (No counter punch) This team has lacked and continues to lack any ownership of errors or accountability. (Blaming judges when there was a KO count off) This isn't just this year, but every year of Sarks tenure. We can raw raw our participation trophies and put them on the wall but choosing to ignore the very clear, continued and ongoing issues in favor of fear of change isn't going to improve things. Sark isn't going to improve either. He's shown what he is and always will be. Are you familiar with the story of the frog and scorpion?
