  1. I'm going to file "aggy giving advice on prudent financial decisions" right next to my copy of "Enron's Accounting Best Practices"
  2. Holy shit is right. Until you mentioned it, I didn't notice the page wasn't scrolling away from where I was reading as tweets loaded.
  3. I'd still like 2. It's like the saying, "on their deathbed, no one ever wishes they'd spent less time on their boat". No defensive coordinator ever wished they had fewer DTs. At this point, there are 4 guys who weren't in high school a few weeks ago, including 3 who have never played a single down for Texas. Texas has been very fortunate with injuries that last few years. If one or two guys either don't pan out or get injured and things get ugly.
  4. Maybe it's the camera angle, but he looks like someone put KD's arms and legs on a normal sized dude.
  5. "Dear eight pound six ounce baby Jesus, please give Riley the ability to hit the broad side of a barn..."
  6. Agree. The issues this year weren't just short yardage or red zone. The offense bogged down somewhere between the middle of the second quarter and the start of the third.
  7. Somehow, I now miss last week when everyone was lying about how awesome they were at highschool sports..
  8. I was mostly being snarky about calling Penix mobile and Mac Jones not mobile. Though I agree, neither of them self-sack the way Ewers does.
  9. I get what you're saying, but Michael Penix had 8 yards rushing his senior year. He can only dream of the rarefied air of Mac Jones'... 14 yards of rushing his final season.
  10. You don't hire a head coach because they are a good play caller. You hire them because you think they'll be a good head coach. That's true of Sark, Ryan Day, Marcus Freeman, etc. Turns out, Sark is a really good head coach. At this point, he's significantly better as a head coach than he is a playcaller. For get elite, he wasn't even a good play caller for extended stretches of every game the last half of the season. Did Ewers struggle at times? Sure. Did the running game struggle against good defenses? Yep. That happens and it's the play-caller's job to figure out something that does work. That's what Sark struggled with this year. If someone else were calling plays, this board would be calling for their head. No one is hired to be a "CEO Head Coach." They are hired as the head coach and then assign roles and responsibilities to staff. Sark has chosen to call plays himself and it is limiting the potential of his team.
  11. This is where CDC needs to step in and have an honest discussion with Sark. Sark is doing great in every aspect of the job except the one that he should be delegating anyway.
  12. I assume it would be like Urban Meyer - he'd hire someone to run his offense. Lane Kiffin doesn't call plays for Ole Miss, but it's his offense. My hope is that Sark would be removed enough from the play calling that he could help problem solve when things aren't working. Though you're probably right, he doesn't sound like he's ready to give up play calling.
