These coaches have had success in shitty conferences, the PAC, and success with semi pro teams players with maybe the best HC in history, Saban...With these players they needed to do a real coaching/ development/ motivation job and they have failed at everything..

What's Muschamp doing these days? Shit, what is Ash doing?

Fire PK like right now before the game is over...We should just hire interrim ecerything for the football team at this point until we find someone that can make ckicken salad out of chicken shit...

Amen...I hope they fire this mf'ing mf''er at halftime...

That looks like a balloon, hopefully it means he received the balloon payment !!

In my opinion, I think parr of the cultural thing is we haven't hired coaches that can get the team to buy into their system. Maybe we have a bunch of prima donna players that expect results immediately, and when those results don't happen they get their panties in a wad and give up on the staff and the team, or just feel like "here we go again, another crap coach." We need a coach that can motivate those types of people to stay focused and bought into the system...I think Mack was very good at this and recruiting in his prime..Sark's big problem is they haven't even laid that foundation yet, it is pretty obvious they don't have that buy in after Bo's fed up rant this past week...They have to get the players believing things can and will get better...It's going to be hard to do that when the defense has a meltdown every week so Sark needs to address that immediately..

I think this team has multiple issues from the coaches to the players...Low morale, bad personell fit in the scheme; especially on Defense. Unwillingness to make changes; especially, on the Defense..Also, they have just been snake bit and cursed with most of the Oline recruiting for maybe over a decade now..They got problems that aren't easy to fix in a short period of time; especially, if they aren't getting the team to buy in...Having some of the very few decent players they do have transfer out would really be the icing on the cake...I hope that doesn't happen..

I don't think the offense can be fixed with the Oline we have now...That's not these coaches fault...Our Oline recruiting has been bad for years. We would have to have an all world QB to play behind this Oline to make the offense consistently look great...We'd need A QB that is a clone of VY and Colt...Vince's running and natural sense of when to run, and Colt's passing....It seems like nothing they do with the Oline is working consistently and they've moved players around...

That isn't how it happened at all according to VY, it was more like they (Mack, Greg, and VY) had a sit down and came to a mutual agreement to make changes that VY wanted and was comfortable with because Mack and Greg saw that VY wasn't looking like the stud they thought they recruited and was not happy playing here...I guess it took them (Mack and Greg) a while to come around and see what needed to happen, but at least they were flexible...

Come on man, we used to rag on Greg Davis to no end, and even he was smart enough to change schemes from Major to VY and Colt. I mean, he didn't have Major running for 100 plus yards a game that I remember... I would think at the college level if you aren't flexible or smart enough to change your schemes or at least parts of your schemes to fit your personnell then you aren't long for a serious job like UT... How hard is it to adjust and run a pretty basic defense like Ash was running with these guys last year?

Diazes scheme never worked, he just had a bunch of well developed studs handed off to him from Muschamp or Robinson's first stint under Mack, can't remember which.... So you're saying these coaches that have 3 years to earn a longterm gig here are going to come in and not try to develop a scheme for the players they have; but instead, try to fit square pegs in round holes? They only have 3 years to get all the round pegs they need to fit all the holes.... If they had just went back and watched the basic defense that Ash had last season that was improving toward the end of last season, and implemented that, they would be sitting on more wins right now. It doesn't mean they have to abandon the scheme they want to run. They can slowly include it and build on it as they recruit the players they need for it...But, why abandon something that was working for something you think you can make work when you have the right pieces? That's just called being locked in and stubborn... I mean, I understand the fanbase, boosters, etc should be more patient and allow coaches to prove themselves, but that is just not reality...

Maybe it's not the scheme, but the players fit in the scheme...Like trying to force a square peg into a round hole, putting players in positions they are not used too or cannot handle and hoping it works. Like putting undersized edge defenders in against Arkansas and watching them get lit up over and over by the Oline in the running game and not making any adjustment... I don't blame these coaches for the players they have now... I hope they pick a specific offense and defensive scheme they want to run, and then start recruiting players that are fits for the positions in that scheme...

Crappy scheme,coaching, or gameplan does not excuse not trying or just quitting on the team in a game. That's all on fhe players...It's one thing to lose if your trying and giving your all, but these punks lose because the first time they get punched in the mouth they fold like a paper bag. They don't have any pride and don't care about their teammates who are trying. However, it does not mean the coaching is still good. The coaches should have the pulse of the team and know when there are morale issues like this and address it before it shows up big time in a game..I doubt these morale issues started overnight.

Maybe you identified the real problem though, a coach can go on a real rant like that, but these days, can't do a dang thing to back it up because he might hurt someone's sensitivities and get in trouble with the media, the parents, the school, and everyone else... These players need to feel the pain and punishment of hard workouts from pissed off coaches for quitting like they did...It was embarrassing... Maybe the coaches got to get creative these days and find some other way to motivate them to do better. I wouldn't know what that would be though...Maybe just calling in a couple of them and flat out tell them goodbye, so long, vaya con dios, and you'll never play another down here. Let the team see you mean business. I imagine the team seeing another player losing a full ride to hit the transfer portal and not get any offers from a decent school might be a motivator...But who knows, it seems like a lot of them probably don't give a rat's ass.

You're right that may not be true in 2021. I would have lost sleep over that butt chewing in the 80's and 90's when I played just knowing what was coming at practice...

I doubt it. A chewing like that from a coach leads to the hardest workouts that no player wants. Talking Navy Seal hell week type nightmarish workouts that you don't forget, and don't ever want again....I guarantee he scared the bejesus out of some of them; especially, if the other coaches are acting just as fed up, and I bet they at least play harder...

The point is Mack's staff could obviously spot talent and get them to work together as a cohesive unit and Mack was a good CEO type coach and motivator back then and dang good recruiter and glad hander....They rarely lost games they should not have lost in Mack's prime...I'd love it right now to be pissing on about being 1 or 2 losses away from the National title game every year like back then. From what I see of Sark and his staff so far is they can't turn lemons into Lemonade, not even a few of them.. They haven't developed or made any of them better and some of the players have regressed because they dont fit the scheme. They obviously can't motivate them to hold on to a 2 or 3 score lead.. Time will tell if they can spot and recruit real talent, they did bring in Worthy and the other Robinson RB so those are pluses...The defensive scheme is a total train wreck with these players and they stubbornly keep doing the same things every week. The offensive line is hopeless...

Maybe not Mack, but he had some coaches working for him that developed some studs through the years. Coaches like Akina, Muschamp, Robinson, etc were not slouches as position coaches, and Muschamp and Robinson were good Coordinators. It's hard to tell if any of the coaches we have now are really good at anything. I guess you could say Sark is good at drawing up plays, but he really sucks after all his scripted stuff runs it's course and he needs to make in game adjustments..

It's worse than that, even the guys that look good as raw new freshman talents regress after being at Texas a while like Caden Sterns, for example...I remember everyone calling him Baby Earl because of his play as a freshman. Even dudes like Foster looked hungrier when they first started playing for Texas. It's like the dog got coached out of them, or they just get tired of losing and quit trying hard at all...I think a culmination of that is what we have seen the last few games. The players that do have some talent are not having fun and just don't give a crap no more. That is all on the coaches to motivate the team...

True, it is beyond strange that 70% or more of these guys are busts once they get here...Coaching and development is a big issue, but seems like there is something else beyond that in this program that could turn so many highly ranked players into crap... We were whining about Mack back in the day not being able to develop players with his staff, and he still made it to the big show. Maybe the school is putting to much classwork on these kids or something, just seems unreal that so many of them just aren't very good and lose their athletic abilities once they start playing here.

Who is ranking these players in High School with 4 *'s? We got a bunch of 4 and even 5*'s that play like low 3*'s...We need good talent evaluation as much as we need a new head coach...

Yep, this is worse than Charlie Strong bad, and I didn't think it could get worse than that. Maybe Sark will do us a favor and quit too...

What's scary, the problems here are probably all of the above, including mentally handicapped coaches..

So you are saying football in the state of Texas is the fraud? A lot of the players on this team were 4 star or above ranked players. I bet Gary Patterson, Gundy, Riley, Rhule, Briles, etc could find a way to make these punks man up and play up to their ranking. I think the soft culture at Texas is the entire problem...A lot of the players they get look better as raw freshman than they do after they have been in the program a couple of years...Something is turning them into panty waists here. Figure out what that is, get rid of it, and a lot of problems will be solved...
