  1. So that's it? Saban gives a guy a 2nd chance (or a 3rd), and with Saban's green light and recommendation he gets another HC shot? We're fucked
  2. Who was mind behind the defense on the 2018 TTU team? Was it Beard? Or was it one of his assistants that was the architect? I hope it was Beard!
  3. When you look at this, what makes you think, "I've gotta hire this guy!" ?
  4. Here's a ridiculous scenario. Let's pull a 1993 Houston Oilers. Bring in fat pat as DC and Art Briles as OC. Then we can watch them fight on the sidelines like Buddy Ryan and Kevin Gilbride and Sark can just stand around like Jack Pardee, fucking clueless not knowing what to do
  5. I doubt it. He's 65 which is quite old to rebuild a program. He was given millions by Baylor to gtfo and stfu about everything.
  6. If there ever was an example of everyone already knowing something, this was it.
  7. the irony is that the motivation has changed. It used to be because we were good and they "played up" against us. Now we have a tramp stamp above our ass that says "enter here".
  8. I guess its better to lose to SEC teams than B12 teams?
  9. It may very well be. Sarks record as a HC prior to his hire at Texas was anything but special. That said, did Sarks or the staff drop those passes today? The players have to make the plays. If they can't - you need either more time to get them physically and mentally prepared (we are in year 1) or you need new players. If after 3 seasons, improvement and or results are lacking - get rid of your staff.
  10. The transitive property doesn't work in sports.
  11. I've watched all of the games. The issues, which are many, are divided across the players and coaches. It isn't solely a coaching problem and it isn't solely a player issue. Losing 2nd half leads is lack of player and coaching leadership, bad coaching, plus inexperience / youth on player side. The players need time to understand what the staff wants and execute those plays in clutch situations. That usually doesn't happen in year one.
  12. You shouldn't post while you are on the rag - you get all emotional and don't make sense. You say the issue is coaching, but most of your examples are lack of player execution. The players were in position to make the tackle, but didn't. That is not bad coaching. That is bad execution, which is on the players. The coaches put the players in position to succeed, the players have to make the play. If your players can't do it - time to get new players. If you can't understand that, let your vagina dry out and then try another go.
  13. It's been a slow decline, but ever since his defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas retired 6-7 years ago, they have become steadily worse on D. Bumpas was a great coach and the drop off on D took longer than I expected, but its definitely happened and quite obvious now. Gary went through 4 difference guys before settling with Chad Glasgow, who is now in his 6th or 7th season as D coordinator. Not sure why he is still there
  14. It must run in the state. Iowa is more of a fraud. I couldn't believe how damn high they were ranked earlier this year. They hadn't played anyone. Glad to see that shit, non scoring, plodding, horrible-to-watch team lose today. Maybe this time they will drop out of the top 20.
  15. We have youth /inexperience in key positions. Sometimes those guys need more time under their belt to be able to come through in the clutch. i.e. WR's dropping key passes. Washington dropped at least 2 that may have changed the outcome of the game. Casey Thompson is going through growing pains. He had at least 5 passes where his feet weren't set. who is the emotional leader on defense? I don't see one. Some of these things, they take time to come together and rarely do they in the first year of a HC. Plus, Sark is working with the turds that Herman left.
  16. To be fair, losing games in the 2nd half tends to point to lack of experience / youth in key positions. The WR's had some drops that would have changed the outcome of this game. I also want to mention - Sark burned 2 timeouts in the 2nd half. Those would have been useful on Baylor's last possession. Instead of victory formation for Baylor, we perhaps get another possession with 45-60 seconds left.
  17. Iowa
  18. 3 losses in a row when leading at half. That is lack of leadership, lack of preparation and to sum it up - bad coaching.
  19. I agree, you have to give a guy at least 3 full seasons, barring an obvious collapse. Ironically, the team had more wins this year, than last year. So it was an improvement, if only marginal. Not sure what Hocutt expects. Not everyone is going to win 9-10 games every year.
  20. I'm sure Sark and his staff saw my post and then decided to step off the gas
  21. Staff is getting out-coached at half, 3 games in a row. Perhaps they need some time to grow/mature as a staff and make those adjustments. However, looking at Sarks record at Washington I'm not confident in that
  22. You are right - the 10-2 season in 2018 is what sealed the hire and he must have interviewed well. I think he was living off Anderson's leadership and recruits the first two years after Anderson left because when Gary left in 2012 that was a very young team that went 11-2. Those 3 shit seasons though from 2015-2017, red flag. 6-7,3-9,6-7. do you think he was canned too early? Maybe he needed a fourth year to get TTU going. I guess to be fair the covid year last year was sort of a junk season
  23. I really did think we were going to win this. Baylor was stuffed by ISU and OK-Lite in the 2nd half of each of those games and was lucky to come out 1-1 and not 0-2. This being the 3rd time we have gone in half with a lead and losing - that is not a talent issue. The other team is making the adjustments, we aren't. That is a coaching issue. Both offense and defensive staffs need to step up or GTFO
  24. that punter was a dumb ass. Better to pin them <10 yard line than to give them position near midfield. can't fix stupid
  25. I have to give it to their staff - they know exactly what their limitations are and work with what they have, try to limit mistakes and penalties bc that is what you have to do when you are average.
