    Keeping Harris is a surprise but our recruiting will be fine especially now that we’re bringing in baller recruiters at RB and (hopefully) WR coach. 

    The actual bad omen with Sark is IF he doesn’t make any changes on defense. Patterson may be enough but there absolutely has to be some kind of change there. 

    I totally get your sentiment and I go back and forth on that myself. But Kansas, yikes! It’s just so hard to get a good read on anything when our personnel was so bad at the three most important spots in this scheme(Edge, Safety, LB)…Joseph has recruited well enough to get another shot and Choate has got to be a better coach than what his unit showed last year, he built that Montana state program from the ground up and they are actually great now. Staff continuity as far as gameplanning and adjustments makes a big difference, these guys never worked together before that should be a data point under consideration. But Kansas, yikes! The defense has nowhere to go but up as sad as that sounds to say and this current staff getting it turned around is the best case scenario for the program(if it’s even possible). Sark is in a tough spot. I wouldn’t want to be the one having to make this call. But Kansas, yikes!

    Sucks that Harris will return, but hopefully they hold him more accountable this year. 
     

    He needs to be gone next year if he doesn’t substantially improve though. 

    This helps with Manning, Cook, and Owens so it’s not absolutely horrible. I hope he continues to improve and learn from his mistakes.
    I still think that whole apparatus is getting revamped though. We will add multiple staff positions. The crazy thing is at Bama their coaches don’t recruit players. They have a person like Harris assigned to every position coach and he or she talks to all of the recruits on behalf of the coach. And before the player visits campus the staff member catches the coach up to speed on what they’d been discussing and what the player likes ect. It’s really badass because it frees the coaches to focus more on coaching and building better relationships with current players.

    Actually I think it is an interesting marriage. TE blocking has been hurting the Texas offense for years. Bringing in someone with a deep understand of 2 back sets might actually bring in some wrinkles that help the offense. 

    And we need to recruit whoever ND recruits at TE lol we shouldn’t offer unless they have a ND offer hahaha

    Marion and Sark also have a lot of schematic differences in the offenses they run. I don't think from a scheme perspective it really works but Marion isn't being hired here for that reason. 

    Sarks comments after the K state game were interesting he said “I’ve never majored in wildcat but we have the personnel to make that a big part of our offense moving forward” I bet Marion’s Go-Go could be used in the wildcat stuff. Sark could give him that portion of the O, if he wanted to

    Kelly likes a conservative offense.  That approach worked at ND with all the low scoring prodding offenses he faced and the lack of fast defenses he played against. I was wondering if he would change that approach at LSU but it seems like he won’t.  

    He usually has a massive O Line too. Gonna take a while to get that at LSU they have struggled there for years and his OLINE coach is staying at ND

    Lol. And your narrative is literally “the best players did play because nothing else makes sense” on the way to posting the worst texas defense in history. Skins on the wall isn’t the same as best player. 

    Have you ever led a group of people before? Did you play football? Have you ever been part of a team? There are a lot more factors than just “who is better” does player “x” make it to meetings on time? Is he skipping study hall? Has he demonstrated an understanding of the playbook? Is he trustworthy? You claiming to know better than dudes whose livelihood depends on it without having anywhere near the insight is truly remarkable. There are a myriad of reasons why some guys did not play this year and you claiming to know that it was due to incompetence on the coaches part and demeaning those who disagree is quite ironic because you are actually the one who is trying to construct a narrative

    Johntay Cook has been liking Marion/Addison stuff too. Plenty of smoke, but it feels like Sark is looking for established options that won’t have him searching for another WR coach in 2022

    I just find it odd that current Texas players and damn near the entire staff would follow this guy and he do the same if he wasn’t the guy.

    That was public knowledge, Abiara just hasn't done much since showing up.

    Yeah I was wondering how we were so bad at edge last year and realized that we had guys like him, Jordan Thomas, Dorbah, and Sorrell who couldn’t get on the field. Hopefully those guys can take step this offseason and with the incoming guys we will never be that bad on the edge again. One transfer at that position would be huge
