Well, if that was the goal, then Sark failed miserably. If this season wasn't the definition of the wheels completely falling off, I don't know what is.
I'm 100% sure there are a ton of "dynamics" going on here that we'll never know the details on. But all that really matters are the results. And the results are shit so far.
And to take it one step further, I might be able to accept these shit results if the guy in charge had some kind of track record of successfully turning things around. But we don't even have that. There is literally nothing that makes me optimistic about this coach. Not one thing. And to just blindly give him a pass and assume, it must just be that players don't care and there's nothing he can do about that, is turning a horribly blind eye. I guess some glass half full fans will always do that, but I can't. Not based on what we've seen so far.
Anyway, there are other threads to discuss this, so I don't want to derail. Let's get back to Urban Meyer to OU with Deion as his OC and Stoops as his DC talk. That'll make us all feel better.
