  1. You are taking these weird contrarian views today. You ask a question, people provide you examples and you plug your ears with your fingers and shout back “No it doesn’t!” Really bizarre hill to die on. The Sark is a great guy hill without much evidence other than he speaks nicely at press conferences.
  2. That literally makes him a bad guy.
  3. Last night he blamed his players for his coaching failure of not properly coaching the team to be ready for a trick play on special teams. That was a huge dick move on his part. Leaders take responsibility and assholes blame others for their own failures.
  4. That’s not what I said at all. You took what I said and ran off somewhere else with it. Texas should recruit the best players AND continue to look at the portal for players to compete with your home grown talent. It’s not necessarily an indictment on your development. That’s the Dabo Sweeney line of thinking. Players are all on different development timelines and you want to make sure you are not limiting your roster. Sark punted on offensive line, corner back and running back this offseason and we are paying the price now for it.
  5. I actually see that situation differently. I wish the staff would ruthlessly bring in outside talent from the portal to challenge players they recruited from high school. For some weird reason we do that a defensive line, wide receiver and quarterback but not at other positions. I do not view the Trey Owens situation negatively at all. I only wished we did that at corner, running back and offensive line as well.
  6. Sark is just trying to save face so he doesn’t look like he got totally out coached despite that being plainly obvious to everyone. It’s a pretty disgusting move honestly. Just take responsibility and don’t the blame the players, Sark. Flood, Akina and Sark failed this team this offseason and only two of those will get fired for it.
  7. Kirby just casually shitting all over our culture.
  8. A flat out lie. If we had prepared for it he would be throwing shit and yelling at the players in frustration. Instead he had that Quaker in a titty bar look on his face like he did not know the rules allowed for an onside kick in that situation.
  9. If your argument is who can we find that is a better coach that is a losing argument. I fully realize Texas isn’t firing Sark and anyone thinking that is in fantasy land but it’s clear to me now we absolutely can do better. The look on his face after that onside kick is the look of somehow who did not even consider that play as a possibility and never prepared the players for it. The man is in over his head and we can debate if it is because he is spread to thin as OC or drinking again or he just flat out sucked to begin with but he is not a championship caliber coach and every time we play one we get our asses kicked.
  10. Honestly if the NFL came calling or Penn St/LSU tried to hire Sark I am not shedding a tear if he leaves. This team was cooked in the offseason when we failed to address the secondary coaching staff and offensive line because our coach might have been at rehab. That’s fucked up.
  11. The better coached team is going to win this game. Georgia prepared and played this game like it was important to them. We did something else.
  12. If there is a high leverage play or situation Kirby out coaches Sark every single time. It’s frustrating as hell to watch.
  13. He even had open receivers. That guy has shit for brains.
  14. I admittedly laughed out load while reading this. Did you sleep through this last offseason?
  15. Texas needs 2-3 linemen in the portal at minimum this offseason. Between poor evaluations and light classes the room is a disaster, especially on the interior. If Baker and Goosby come back we still need more depth at the position.
  16. Private equity is the most expensive form of capital. They will require high percentage dividend payments (often 10% or more) or look to sell that investment in the medium term. Unless the Big 10 is strapped for cash, I do not understand this move at all.
  17. I like Gerry but this is the most fucking retarded thing I think I have read on a Texas message board in five years and that is saying something.
  18. No need to redact any excitement. A healthy Edwards is a better back that is on our roster currently I just think we will be able to set our sights even higher.
  19. He is undersized, injury prone and a terrible team guy. There will be better backs in the portal.
  20. Yes that is exactly what I am saying. We knew this from his time at Texas. This isn’t new information. When asked to do more than coach up corners to play man defense he failed miserably.
  21. The problem is Akina himself likely does not understand zone concepts so how the fuck is he supposed to teach that to anyone else? The mistake was made when Joseph and Gideon left to hire a 70 something year old coach who can only teach man to corners to go with our mostly zone defensive coordinator. This is on Sark.
  22. Pretty sure he will not be back next year so it’s pointless defending him. He was a bad hire at the time and it’s pretty obvious to everyone involved he cannot coach a secondary in zone defense if his life depended on it and that was the case twenty years ago and it’s still the case today. We lost to Florida partly because of this hire. I cannot imagine a scenario where he is coaching here again next year.
  23. This post needs instant hall of fame status. Using Georgia’s loss to a “really shitty Florida team” to prop our chances up is instant classic.
