  1. Taffee being out sucked but I thought McDonald was able to hold the secondary together the best he could. Once he went down the defense had 3 easy targets to pick on. Williams just isn’t the same post injury, Filsaime is very meh, and Guilbeau is so obviously being picked on it hurts to watch.
  2. Does the time he missed have something to do with their child having to spend time in the NICU? Or does the birth not match up with the junior day timeline of the 30 day thing?
  3. Your reply to me on Sark not thinking the college level is beneath him, is a puff piece tactic used by any coaches agent when they have interest in other jobs? Those two things aren’t even connected at all. If Sark actually believed the college level is beneath him, he would have left a long time ago. The article carry’s more weight if you were trying to suggest he’s leaving for another job even after what his agency released and the post game presser comment.
  4. Bit of a stretch. Sark has said in interviews why he prefers the college game over the pros. That opinion might have changed now for numerous reasons but it’s not because Sark thinks the college game is beneath him.
  5. The other way around—he’s spread too thin at OC while being the head coach. Sark over calculated with all the injuries that happened late in the season and went with the NFL model for the offseason. He also put too much faith into the homegrown Oline. If he comes back those are things that can be fixed. The hardest part for fixing Saturdays will be getting him to relinquish play calling duties. I may be in the minority here but I don't think it’s a forgone conclusion he doesn’t give up play calling.
  6. Oh for sure. The extreme doom and gloom types on here are going to have it bad.
  7. It’s not the first time we’ve seen an aggy coach make a jump in year 2. Maybe Elko is the real deal or maybe not.
  8. The majority of Arch’s big time throws against OU were off of scrambles. Kentucky did a better job containing Arch but the Oline also did not help him with the shit show they were displaying in pass protection. As it pertains to the passing game against Kentucky, the small sample size of long developing plays actually had some success. The throw to Mosley in the 3rd quarter was nice and I think Moore had one as well. His wtf moments were on the quick, easy to read throws.
  9. If I remember correctly Sark got more involved with the defense after the terrible first year they had. I imagine now that everything straightened out he’s not involved that much anymore. It does make you think if he was to hire an OC that runs an offense similar to his own, how valuable his expertise would be at identifying deficiencies from a CEO perspective.
  10. Playing devils advocate here but Lincoln Riley only has Williams that he recruited and put in the NFL. The rest he either received via the portal or hit the portal to another school. It’s weird because Thompson and Card played their best under Sark but he struggles with the higher rated guys. Ewers was made of glass but he still did get better each year considering his circumstances. Manning may not be it and a total whiff by Sark and the media based solely on his name. Even with the context for both of those guys, there’s no changing the narrative with Sark struggling to develop high profile QB’s.
  11. He’s as tough as they come and definitely not contact shy. Ewers would feel pressure and just cave while trying to throw. Arch has no fear in a clean pocket, the guy is just simply missing easy completions that are there for the taking. It’s backwards the way he can locate the wr as he’s getting hit but can’t in a clean pocket. Like others have said, the only time he looks comfortable is when he’s scrambling and it turns into backyard football. I’m sure everyone in the program knows that an offense built off of scrambling isn’t going to get them far.
  12. One way to help a struggling oline and quarterback not being able to read the field is to utilize more quick game, such as crossers, slants, 8 to 10 yard digs, etc but Arch at the moment isn’t good at those consistently. At this point, Sark has no clue which version of Manning is going to show up in the passing game. Sark failed Manning in the run game on Saturday. Six carries in the first half, with a total of 15 carries is a fucking joke after what they found that worked against Oklahoma.
  13. I think he knows exactly what needs to happen, but I fear his past is weighing heavily on his ability to make tough decisions. If there was a ranking for Coach speak, Sark is easily in the top 3. I’ve stopped taking any stock into his press conferences. It is rare for him to acknowledge the negative in ways that Sabin or others bluntly do. If he does, it’s usually a quick hitter with hardly any explanation.
  14. Elite is hitting Wingo and Endries running wide open? This offense just needs him to execute what the defense gives him. Theres nothing Arch can do when the pocket breaks down in under a second or Sark not even trying to establish the run game. That type of stuff is out of his control and needs to be fixed. But it’s also dumb to think that we need Arch to constantly be elite in the passing game, like the one throw to Livingstone in the OU game.
  15. Arch is missing throws that are in every scheme. Day 1 install type shit. He’s a tough SOB, that’s for sure. Caldwell is here because of Owen’s, who’s now behind a true freshman on depth chart. What do Arch, Caldwell and Lacey all have in common?
