Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
BurntEyes replied to Parliament's topic in Football
Yeah Joel Klatt flagged, Rhule, Hartline, Cignetti and Diaz as likely replacements. Diaz was the only one I thought was a big reach. Klatt's pics for PSU HC Give PSU ranks 2nd in my top 3 moral hate with Baylor and MSU i hope its Manny but screwing Nebraska would be nice too. -
Well, I guess I can't argue with your first point. As for Joy Division, they really fall more into the post-punk Synth world with the likes of Devo but as a punk lover I like to include them just to ruffle feathers of punk "purists" because if anyone needs their feathers ruffled its those posers.
-
Yeah, its a real shame certain racist posters hate the best Texas WR ever purely because the color of his skin. Shameful!
-
No Descents, Black Flag, Dead Milkmen, Clash, or Joy Division? Man.. fuck your elitist ass punk cover band.

You mean like the Florida game or the Ohio State game or the Ohio State game 1 or the SEC championship or Georgia 1? It's been a really long time but I vaguely recall some of them. Look, I'm in here praising Sark for beating the shit out of and out coaching our top 10 ranked rival and he clearly deserves it. I'm very happy about it. It's a huge move in the right direction. That said, just because a consistently abusive boyfriend/spouse apologizes and does some real good doesn't mean he/she should be forgiven all his/her history of abuse, errors and trespass.
-
It's a fair point, I think it was a little of both but need to watch again to see which. I do think, whether designed rolls or improvised it felt like perhaps Sark gave him the green light to do so if not by design rather than force the drop and full progression. There were absolutely shorter developing WR routes.
-
Well, since we're already off thread topic, I agree. I really can't see Kiffin leaving a pretty solid gig where he's loved for anywhere but Florida. I mean, he'd go other places in the south/west but in near future potential openings that's the one most likely.

There are specific people shitting 9n the Texas QB after a fantastic ass pounding put on our rival. This place would be apoplectic post 3 losses. -
Going to very slightly disagree. I sadly feel compelled to side with the talking heads on Mateer as it relates to this game. While I do agree that no hand injury at all certainly alters the dynamics of this game. However, as several of the talking heads suggested and evidence supports Mateer's issues were far more mental than physical yesterday. He was making some bad choices, going into triple coverages and missing some open WRs. The pressure from Texas D certainly helped exacerbate his mental aspects but ultimately his collapse was far more mental than physical.

I agree with some of your assessment and differ with others. I'll start with the broader agreement. Team cohesion, whether college football, military or corporate is always reliant on the mutual trust among the team members. This trust must be, from origin, fostered by the HC, Generals, CEO and other leadership. The trickle down effect at the individual contribution level requires each part (PART) of the team believe in the others (PARTs) ability to do their job and do it well. Marketing counts on sales to follow up brand awareness and product launch, sales counts on operations to do their job daily and on engineering to provide good product, etc. At the broadest level, D counts on O to score and O counts on D to stop scoring. RB and QB depend on OL to provide running lanes and time. WR count on QB to get the ball to them and OL to give them time to do so. Which is all logical. However, given the NFL approach of Sark in the spring and summer, all parts had to take it on faith that this would occur. It didn't, not surprisingly and so faith and trust in the upper management and their fellow (parts) suffered greatly. Instead of building that trust in practice in off season it was occurring on game day. Management also failed because they assumed the parts would work. They didn't, so they too had to adjust, during actual game and based on game results.

You do realize this is a Longhorn board right? I'm celebrating a good fucking coaching job. Haven't had a lot of opportunity to do so this year. Let me party how I want you control freak.
-
Faint praise? I and others said it was Sarks best game of the year and I said maybe of his tenure at Texas. You want me to offer to suck Sark's cock? The fuck you want me to say?
-
We absolutely were more disciplined. While we had a couple of painful penalties we only had 4 vs ou's 5. Prior we were averaging over 10 per GAME, iirc. Imo, this is a factor of both the less complex blocking scheme, quicker throws and moving the pocket in addition to just playing better and pulling their heads out of their assess. We beat them in every single key offensive stat, and as much as we love to shit on OU and Venables their defense is actually pretty good. For all these reasons I really do think this was among Sark's best game plan and game adjustments he's made during his tenure. It provides me some cautious optimism because we've sadly seen him go right back to what wasn't working despite all evidence he shouldn't.
-
Rolled the pocket more, altered running lane choices, quicker flat and cross route throws. Fewer OL stunts and more down blocking.
-
I'm here for the Sark hate, but this was absolutely the best coaching he's done this year and among his best at Texas. He, of course, still had to put a play action in inside the 5 yard line but otherwise he made the game easier on Arch and threw out a lot of the 18 step drops. Multiple talking heads also recognized the game plan adjustments, not just in the second half but in the broader strokes. I was very pleased, and it's been said a lot, but Wisner is awesome. I hope the game plan continues in the direction of aligning to the abilities and talent on the team like it did in this one.

Its always interesting how much people undervalue or simply don't grasp/know about the intermodal aspects of distribution lines. Yes, you can send gas via pipeline to a refinery or ship wheat to a port. From the port you need a train for the wheat/oil the train stops and then you gotta get from the train depot to the processing location for wheat. Once processed gotta go to where is will be converted into consumable or sent to gas distribution hubs. From there then moved to where distributed local to shops. Then from the local/regional distribution hub to to the consumer purchase location. Not every product has all of these steps but most have something similar and nearly all the in-betweens require petrol to power the vehicles. Sure, there are some distribution branches/hubs that have gone electric, but not throughout Russia.

She'll be on YouTube, get some early followers for the inside scoop. It will lose momentum quick. Do some media and maybe a book, which will pay bills for a minute. She'll be on the "alternative dating" websites or "modeling" with 2 years. Book it.

And I am getting really fucking tired of pointing out we all agree to stop the god damn kink shaming on this board. It should apply to those we're speaking about not just internally. The fuck is wrong with YOU PEOPLE! -

Something shitty happened. I can tell you that much because it was the Florida game. -

Dude Arch was pressured nearly every time he did Sark's 18 step drop plays. 35 QB pressures. He can't scream at his OL after every fucking pass play. At some point, a immamac noted above, coaches need to.. ya know, fucking coach. Granted, spring camp might have been a better time to start but Arch can't get in the faces of his OL all day during a game. -
I can't tell you he will. He may not, but the road ends in Sark giving over control to an OC or getting fired. Those are the 2 paths. There are no others.
-
You referenced being an alcoholic and the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. While I do think it relevant, I think the more applicable item here is the control aspect. Sark is unwilling, despite results, to relinquish control of the offense. Instead, he chooses to believe he is capable of both and his ego has gotten the better of his logic and reasoning. As I see it, the only thing that will change this is CDC flexing control, sitting Sark down and telling him to bring in a new staff to run the offense completely or option b is winning an NC in 2026 or lose his job. Put a clock on it with extreme goals. Dunno what Sark will choose, but it's the only way this gets fixed.

Sark selected both the players and the staff. Where does the fault lie? -

It won't just be the OL botch, real questions have already started to surface about his approach to coaching QBs. If I as a dumb fat couch coach can see similar issues between a 5 star QB that consistently got worse while at Texas and a new 5 Star QB who appears to be horrible, so will the rest of the world. Sark isn't addressing issues and doesn't understand that in college you have to align your approach to the talent. The NFL approach of get the players to run your system just doesn't work. Clearly neither does the NFL practice methodology. We fans are complaining about the exact same issues on offense we did last year. EXACT SAME. Some want to throw Arch under the bus, some blame the OL, some blame the RBs, some point to pieces of each one, but when every.fucking.one of these issues were the same things we bitched about last year, it should become abundantly clear where the real issues lie. Hell, there is a 700+ page thread from last year here arguing QB vs OL vs RB vs WR and guess what, its the fucking HC and his shit staff. The writing was on the wall, and I admit I missed it. Tried to incorrectly blame the QB. However, even there I recognized issues with the game plan. Speaking of game plan. Two words to know how bad it is. Third Quarter But I'll add a single play to bring it home. Ballet 360 pirouette flounder, flounder fall. No? How about first down run up the middle with an underperforming (putting it kindly) OL and smallish RB that, to date, I would guess has lead to a total of about 30 yards in 5 games despite doing it every fucking first down. What about slow developing WRs routes with an underperforming OL and a young QB. Add in some play action where said young QB turns his back to increase issues. That's brilliant. No man, the issues are and have been clear. Sark doesn't know shit about coaching an offense. Speaking of RZ, know how many times we've run a bootleg reverse at the goal line? Once, it was a TD for Arch.
