  1. It’s more on the assistant level.
  2. The “wild wild” is precisely this why there has been an exodus on the whole from the college ranks to the NFL the last few offseasons. In the NFL you get some semblance of an offseason whereas with how things are with the portal/NIL you are recruiting all year.
  3. I have been saying this the last two years. Quinn is Simms incarnate. Their biggest failures came in the games that mattered most. Simms also had a higher career winning percentage. He left UT as the second winningest QB in school history.
  4. If you could envision a game that summed up Quinn’s entire UT career, last night would be it. Looking solely at his stat line one could think that he played well enough to win. Decent completion percentage. A few tds. But of course, Quinn showed us yet again exactly who he is and why he was never able to lead us to a title despite having arguably the most talented roster in 15 years. Running into multiple sacks, panicking under pressure, lofting throws instead of throwing them on a line once again proved to be fatal in a big time game. His best throw of the night came on the first drive on the one handed catch by Golden. Other than that, Quinn was Quinn and it wasn’t good enough against top flight competition. Yes, Sark deserves a huge amount of blame for last night and Bond’s crucial drop stalled out a promising drive near midfield, but at the end of the day if your QB cannot consistently execute in crucial moments you aren’t winning a title. I’m glad Quinn was able to help bring the program back to prominence and championship contention, but I’m excited to turn the page and move on.
  5. Tonight should be the night that ends the “Sark is an offensive genius” narrative. He has consistently shown in his four seasons at Texas that there are massive flaws in both his system and playcalling acumen. There are far too many stretches in games where the offense is completely non-existent. These aren’t stretches that happen a few times a season. They consistently happen for long stretches of most games during our season. He has zero feel for calling plays in the red zone. He calls the same slow developing, lateral plays each and every drive inside the 20. Every red zone possession we know the following plays are coming: 1. Play action swing screen that is either lofted above the RBs or blown up 4 yards behind the LOS. 2. Near the goaline he will run out a big package that includes two defensive lineman (see first down on tonight’s definitive 4th quarter drive). 3. Outside toss to the boundary. 4. Fade to the corner which is inevitably underthrown or out of bounds with no chance for the receiver to make a play. We are at a point where our talent is better than 95% of the country, which will get us to 10 wins most seasons and in playoff contention. The issue is that Sark is exposed when he meets teams that are as or more talented than we are. The Bama game last season has proven to be the exception, not the rule. We played that game about as perfect as we could have, but we have not come close to putting a game like that together since. It is simply unfathomable that Sark didn’t run out Arch for at least a play or two at the goal line. I was fine with the first down call, but once that was stuffed we needed a different look. Arch is big enough to where he’s a legit threat for QB sneak, he presents a zone read option threat and he could be a play action boot threat. We bring back a less talented team next season with a tougher schedule so unless Sark has some serious reflection this offseason in how he calls plays (which I seriously doubt) I have grave concerns that we make the playoffs next season.
  6. Is there consensus yet on the board as to the correct way to tackle Skattebo? We still have six days to figure it out, if not.
  7. Found this today at WB in SA. First time I’ve ever seen it on a shelf. $200.
  8. Let’s see what Quinn is focused on right now instead of watching film. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Nf43PV/
  9. Nice to meet you, Mr. Ewers. For the sake of Longhorn Nation your son can stop being a pussy and deliver us a title.
  10. I think @Longhornlove would enjoy watching Quinn fuck his significant other and then make excuses why he came too quickly and disappointed her.
  11. Put me down in the 2 camp, but instead of stupidity I believe it’s arrogance. Sark believes he can “fix” Ewers, even with only a couple games left in his Texas career. Sark has proven over these four years at Texas that he is unwilling to change his playcalling style, even to the detriment of the team. He refuses to budge from his philosophy even when it’s clear the opponent has figured things out. We see the same slow developing play calls called week after week that don’t work out more than they fail. Too many drives stall out in fg tries instead of touchdowns. Yes, we were better the first half of the season, but things have really fallen off the second half. On top of arrogance I think Sark simply refuses to start a QB controversy with so few games left in Ewers’ Texas career. I think more than arrogance, this is what will eventually cost us a title. He was on the fucking sidelines when Saban pulled Hurts for Tua and it’s maddening that Sark hasn’t given Arch more of a look before now and gotten him in game reps given the way Ewers has struggled the last 6 games or so.
  12. Unfortunately I think we’re in the same position with Sark that we are with Quinn. He is who he is and he’s not changing. He has his philosophy and while it works well against most teams and we have won a lot of games these last couple of seasons, he doesn’t look to be the kind of coach who is willing to make adjustments when his schemes have been figured out.
  13. Sark definitely isn’t doing us any favors in this department. Consistently calling slow developing play action passes (with a non-existent running game) coupled with an immobile qb with poor pocket presence is not a recipe for success.
