I'm not going me arch knoblauch fanboi, but last night he did EVERYTHING he could to try to elevate the team, they couldn't get their shit together to perform on his level.
I think he might just not be good under the big lights.
This team is mentally soft. I was a big believer in them not giving up, but last night this team gave up a lot of that comes from guys like this not doing their part and causing a breakdown in trust between the team. The team played a lot better with him on the sidelines during Vandy when there was schematically different targets.
He's in the doghouse and I'm not sure there's a way out for me until he has a few games with no drops and starts to really up the physicality in his game contesting catches, making catches and fighting for yards after the catch.
I'm not sure what world you are living in but yeah that's what people want. Very few people want to think critically or form their own opinions.
Surly is way undermonetised because we demand long attention spans and original thought for participation. I could turn this into a slop machine like any of the other sites pretty easily. No one wants that.
The problem now is that largely the attention span for conversations has decreased significantly, people are apathetic more than ever if it doesn't immediately give them a dopamine hit. Its the whole issue plaguing all of User Generated Content right now, including YouTube. You become a slave to the algorithm and goldfish attention spans or you rely on people who will do the work spreading it around for you.
For surly in particular a lot of people want to not share with their friends IRL because they don't want to doxx their handles. It's a very strange paradox right now with the rest of the internet being effectively non-anonymous.
I don't know where people get that sark is a nice guy. He's pleasant to media and external people, but that doesn't mean good or nice and they are often conflated.
He seems straight up like he's a bad guy more and more and that's part of why he doesn't want leaks etc.
Kirby is a piece of shit unabashedly.
Kiffin is a troll, but absolutely loves football and is the most transparent big time coach since leech.
Saban was a cheating obsessed maniac.
Sark didn't have stone hands last night. It's not a play calling issue, some of you have no critical thinking skills. It's a coaching issue. He's a bad coach. He's a bad leader of the entire team, because he isn't leading.
Yeah I don't know that there's anything sark can do to redeem himself here. He hasn't show he is capable enough to continuously improve. He's coasting in an era where you can't coast because the parity and transfer portal are real.
The next coach will be a CDC involved hire and won't come with all the warts.
I was willing to think, hey we've been banged up and the OL sucks. But coming out of the bye with everyone as healthy as they are going to be the Running Game looks like shit, not just because of the early contact but just generally speaking it's been ineffective at best and a liability at worst.
Was the step down from Tashard Choice this big? I loved Choice as the RB coach, but there has been nothing to be proud of except for tre at OU this entire season out of that position group.
I can't really figure out a scenario where Texas makes the playoff at this point. Everyone who rooted for Oklahoma to beat Alabama should feel bad forever.
At this point the locks for the playoff look like
Ohio State
Indiana
aggy
Alabama
Georgia
Ole Miss
Texas Tech
Notre Dame (Unfortunately)
Some ACC dogshit
Some G5 dogshit
One of USC/ORE/MICH
One of the other 1 or 2 loss teams (who cares)
Will you be tuning into the playoffs at all or just pretending the season is over after aggy and the Alamo bowl?
I personally think I'll be adopting Indiana mainly for the story and the hilarious outcome of a nothing program coming up in 2 short years under cignetti with NIL and the portal.
Hoping everyone loses or they cancel the playoffs isn't an option.
Will you actually watch playoff games at all? It's a question that I honestly haven't even thought of until now because Texas has participated in the last 2 and watching the other games meant something until they lost in the semis.
