Might want to start working on that "getting" part. They're not quite doing that one correctly. Sark is gone. If not within the next few weeks to the NFL it will be as soon as the season ends next fall. College football is a disaster. "NCAA Libertarianism" has been a disaster. Allowing the players to factor into the profits was needed, but all out madness with zero governmental body regulation leads to this pile of shit. Very few if any coaches want to deal with this, so the ones with legit NFL interest like Sark will bolt soon. You would think this has to severely harm player development at this level too. These players arent staying in one place long enough to properly develop.
About time to get grok to make a picture of Sark holding a giant platter of bread. If he doesn't start getting offensive players locked up in the next day or 2.
Maybe a new OL coach wouldn't be so hung up on size to the detriment of if a guy can actually play the position. Flood recruits line like he's going to just go out and gap scheme the shit out of everyone like it's1990s Nebraska, but then the season starts and Sark starts calling a lot of zone runs. And the large line gets run around in pass pro like traffic cones. There's a massive disconnect and I don't understand why it wasn't addressed. I feel the line issues could have already been remedied in the portal if Sark actually had an OL coach who was going to adapt to what Sark does on offense.
I think it's looking pretty obvious the biggest mistake Sark has made since the weekend after Thanksgiving was not immediately firing Flood after the last game. It will be a miracle if this line under Flood in 2026 is substantially better than it was in 2025.
I've wondered exactly what Harris does. Babers commented on a video that he's basically an errand boy (my words not his) for Sark. Shipley agreed. That he's not making decisions but is instead doing the grunt work on players Sark and the coaching staff already want. That he's the messenger between Sark and the players on the team as well, to the point when a guy like Livingstone is getting cut out it's Harris that does the talking. I don't think the OL that visited and deemed not a fit is a signal of a bad job. It's difficult to get an accurate feel for an individual until you meet them in person. They are seemingly being very patient here on offense and it's freaking many people here out. Either that or they are striking out like a Surly poster in a club at 2 am. Only consensus is they absolutely have to get at least 2 and maybe 4 OL, a back, and a receiver. At minimum.
Who gives a shit about Livingstone. If Sark thought he was the piece to be opposite Wingo then he would have paid him. He didn't think he was worth it. Livingstone rightfully got pissed and bolted after being told. I just think it's hilarious OU has sank to the depths of being a program that takes our trash we didn't think was good enough to win a title with.
