    I think we are probably all overreacting a bit.  Quinn had some pretty ass ache level games in his first year starting, but he at least had Bijan, Worthy and JT.

    We don’t have anybody on the roster as good as those 3 currently.  Are we being overly emotional and histrionic fucktards?  I hope that time will tell us that we absolutely are.

    The thing is, we actually do have guys like Lockett and Townsend. RB is a question mark, but we do have players, but Sark refuses to use his undeclassmen to help with winning.

    The delusional ignorance on display in these comments is astounding. I dont think i have ever seen such a perfect display of Madden brain mixed with the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    Your baseless assumptions and illogical conclusions, stated with so much childlike verve and naivete, are such artful caricatures that I find myself wanting to give you credit for a being a truly virtuoso troll.  Our own Amadeus of the boards. Knowing this likely isnt the case, I am left with emptiness and despondency. 

    But also a shred of hope, knowing that if some people see the solutions to our complex world as so obvious--for example, that a sport which men with decades of experience and paid millions of dollars still cant figure out, is at least partially solvable by something so simple as 'relaying the plays to backups in "laymen's terms"'--that maybe one day I will give up my pessimism and hopelessness for the much happier delusion that the fix for my problems i also just sitting there waiting for me to take it. 

    Show show me where I'm wrong, Aristotle. 

    I'll be waiting, which I'm sure you won't reply to because you have no answers. 

    But go on....

    In essence...

    Just another another retard  trying their best to get upvotes.

    Hills is telling Sark to keep it simple. Too much ego in Sark by calling a triple reverse play killing the momentum of the drive. Calling stupid plays that aren’t playing up the strength of the team and highlighting what they’re good at. 

    My takeaway is that Sark is flashing his offense around town like it’s fucking Sharon Stone. Face it, Sark, your offense ain’t no Sharon Stone.

    You are pig wrestling, which is fruitless, unless you're the pig. All you get is muddy, as there is no winning. Meanwhile, the pig enjoys it. 

    Should we, uh, point out all of your dumbassary? We could write a novel larger than the Odyssey and the Illiad on it. But you keep wrestling that pig, sport.

    Ohio State doesn’t hire shitty, retread coaches like Texas does.

    Exactly. Which why they are the anomaly of CFB. Their "worst" coach was John Cooper, and he last coached 25 years ago, but his record at fOSU was sub par. He coached for 13 seasons and had five 10+ win seasons before retiring in 2000.

    I think the reason people forget about him is 

    1) he started at fOSU in 1988 and somehow still has a .715 win %

    2) he was followed by Tressel, who won a NC in his second season (went to three with 1-2 record), and had numerous 10+ win seasons, went to NINE BCS bowl games  with a 5-4 record, 6 B1G titles and an 8-1 record vs Michigan,with only two seasons that weren't great (2001- 7-5; 2004- 8-4). He has an .828 win % over his 10 seasons, resigned in 2011 where Luke Fickell was interim, and then Urban came in after that in 2012.

    TBH I think this is why everyone is all toxic and fucked up. Its not anything you are doing wrong to be clear. 

    When your Texas Football experience is just the game from your couch and getting on surly to bitch about it, what is there to look forward to? 

    What happened to people making plans around the game with people they like from the Longhorn fandom even for Away games. What happened to wanting to tailgate and afterparty? 

    Part of the entire college football experience to me isn't just going to the game waiting forever to leave your parking spot and feeling however the game went. Its about the entire day - the band, the pageantry, the friends, the heckling of the other team, the big plays, the roar of the crowd, things like singing the eyes. 

    If you are skipping all the good parts all the time, of course there's nothing to look forward to, it's just like kicking yourself in the nuts over and over again. 

    @YChang came and joined us at KoKos and we watched the same game y'all watched, but it was a roller coaster of emotion and a final victory that I'll remember. 

    Another buddy of mine got a picture of me in full disappointment after they tied it with the caption 

    "TFW Kentucky ties it"

    I'm not telling anyone how to do anything, but maybe the problem with why you hate everything all the time is the way you are setting things up to hate everything all the time. 

    We aren't gonna get the greatest show on turf this year - that's not the identity of this team even when it's firing on all cylinders. This team if it gets its act together is going to score points and have wins like OU at best. That was still fantastic. 

    There's a lot of schedule left and a lot of fun games left after MS State.

    Vandy at home is projected by revelxp tent sales to be one of the biggest morning games ever in Austin (if the people show up). Arkansas is the renewal of a rivalry that hasn't happened here since 2008. TAMU hasn't played here since 2011 and was the hottest ticket outside of TX@tOSU the entire year. A night game with nothing else going on because it's holiday time. 

    There are LOTS of people that are making this about a lot more than the team. 

    You really look like you're about to cry. I can relate because I had that same look almost to a "T". If the words "please, somebody murder me" ran through your head at that exact moment, then yeah, I feel you.

    has to be redshirting right?  just waiting to transfer?   what else could be the reason? 

    He's a RS-JR, already. My personal opinion is Flood is just a fucking moron. I don't think Neto sucks or anything, it's just negligence. There is absolutely no way Brooks, a true frosh who's never played G is better than a guy who has played LG his entire career. It was a panic move by both Sark and Flood and now we have three tackles playing on the o-line, and two natural guards pretending to play C. They refuse to admit to their mistake, even at the cost of the season or him transferring because of narcassism and they won't admit they are wrong.

    And both those 1st rounders were 5* I think. 

    They were. JC Latham and Evan Neal. Latham wasn't even coached on the line because Flood was here and Latham didn't start until his JR year, and then went pro. Neal started as a FR, but as a guard. He was a FR AA before moving to RT where he struggled, then Flood left and he was moved to LT where he earned AA and All-SEC. 

    Three OL players from that 2019 class are still in college and all transferred, outside of the Evan Neal.

    He only took two in 2020 and both transferred and are still in college.

     2021 he took 4, and only one was drafted in Latham, while the other three all transferred, one to Syracuse,  one transferred/retired (Tommy Brockermeyer), and his brother, James is at his third school at Miami. 

    Basicallly erase the 2020-2021 classes outside of recruiting since he didn't coach them, and the one he did was for 1 season (2020). He gets no credit for these two. No credit for Neal, either, since he was basically his Banks, and then put him at the wrong position (shocker, I know), left, and then whomever coached next put him at his preferred position. 

    Flood is a joke.

    Ever since the Georgia game a year ago the shine of Sark the offensive genius has slowly faded away and led to more questions than answers. It is time for Sark the CEO to fire Sark the OC, both of which are elite in their own right as history has shown, or he risks suffering the same fate of Tom Herman. There are plenty of examples of former great play callers that have allowed their Ego to undermine their ability to win at the highest level and ultimately led to their downfall.

    Locally we saw Tom Herman on offense and Charlie Strong defense fail to property delegate their biggest strengths while focusing on building a program. Nationally we saw Jimbo fisher do the same and get fired at a&m after letting his ego ruin the entire program before the halfway point of his 10 year mega deal. We could spend hours finding examples of coaches failing to properly entrust their side of the ball with high level assistants. 

    If Sark wants to be held in the same breath as other elite Saban acolytes he needs to follow the lead of the others. 

    Saban- Identified Kirby Smart early and allowed him to become his DC in his late 20s leading to 4 national championships. After Smart he hired Pruitt who ultimately left to be the HC of Tennessee after a NC. 

    Smart-  Since his first year in Athens he has relied on a DC to manage the defense starting with Mel Tucker before bringing in Lanning/Schumann to lead the defense. All of whom have been or will be a HC in their career. 

    Kiffin- The parallels of Sark and Kiffin are eerily similar in both their job history and failures on the biggest stages.  In 2017 when hired at FAU he handed the play calling over to Kendall Briles and then Charlie Weiss Jr. After taking the Ole Miss job he has ran through a few OCs including Lebby who parlayed his success into HC gig and Weiss Jr who Ole MIss fans want gone. But the results show as a CEO Kiffin has been able to punch above his weight at a program that historically is foot note in the SEC. 

    Day- For the first 5 years of his tenure Day has had the same issues we are seeing with Sark in the playoffs. Great regular seasons and losing by a score in the playoffs in games that were very winnable. In year 6 Day finally gave up the play calling duties to Chip Kelly before winning his first championship and now allows Brian Hartline to call plays without missing a beat. 


    If Sark wants to make the leap the others have and keep his job at Texas long term here are a few names that make sense and should be capable of handling the job. 

    Coaches with connections to Sark-

    AJ Milwee- this is the most obvious choice but his development of QBs at Texas has left much to be desired. Also without any real play calling experience the job may be to much to ask. In the even a move is made I would like to see Milwee call plays at another school first. 

    Charlie Weiss Jr- for the past few years he has called plays for Ole Miss with varying results. Sark and Weiss spent a year together with the Falcons and the job would be more enticing than a rebuild at Florida if Kiffin takes that job. 

    Clay Helton- Laughing at this one on the surface is easy but look at the offenses he put up while calling plays for Sark at USC. In Sarks time there they averaged close to 35 a game before Helton took over as HC following Sarks dismissal. He is currently making $900k at Georgia Southern and fits the mold of HCs taking coordinator roles (Kelly at tOSU, Malzahn at FSU, Wommack at Alabama). Sitting at 3-4 after an 8 win high water mark last year Helton could look to get back to a blue blood at the highest level. 

    Tee Martin- Same connections as above. His offenses have left a lot to be desired but after spending time in the NFL under Todd Monken now may be the time for him to re emerge at the college level. 


    Coaches on the hot seat-

    Jonathan Smith- This one may take another year to play out but early signs are not pleasant for Smith at Michigan State. The closest connection Texas has to Smith is the 4 years Smith spent at Washington with Kwiatkowski before taking the Oregon State job. 

    Joe Moorhead- In year 4 as the HC of Akron things are not getting any better. Successful stints at Penn State and Oregon would make this a no brainer if it were to happen. 

    Garrett Riley- The younger brother of Lincoln rose to fame with the 2023 TCU runner up finish and quickly parlayed that to a job at Clemson where he was entrusted with a complete overhaul of the offensive system. This is the final year of his original deal at Clemson and may make sense for all parties to move on to allow Dabo to save face heading into a do or die year next year. 

    Bobby Petrino- I tried to justify this due to its abject hilarity but I can't, moving on. 

     

    Pipe Dreams (I know these will not happen)-

    Dan Mullen- Currently at UNLV and having early success but history shows the schools he wants would require three 10 win seasons before hiring him. Texas OC Dan Mullen would be able to parlay one or two seasons into whatever high end opening came up. Currently making $3 million a year.

    Mike McDaniel- The future former Dolphins head coach has consistently gotten worse behind the QB play of the oft concussed Tua. His services will likely be sought after at the NFL level but a refresher in the college ranks should be entertained. Most likely returning to San Fran under Shanahan like Saleh just did. 

    Todd Monken- Has been the OC of the Ravens since 2023 after a successful run at Georgia but in the fickle world of NFL coaching Harbaugh may be forced to make a move to save face after a down year. Little chance this happens but always worth a call if things change in Baltimore. 

     

    The likelihood Sark makes a change to his play calling duties is thin barring a call from CDC that forces his hand. Hopefully for Texas this change is the result  of a personal decision made by Sark alone that allows him to remain at Texas for a long time to come. 

    Is this available on audio book? 

  10. It won't matter. Flood will be gone. Someone has to take the fall for this, and since the o-line is two FR, a RS-SOPH, two upperclassmen guards trying to play Center, and a senior, that's all on Flood for not developing what he recruited, which is almost identical to his two years at Bama, but he got to coach Doug Marrone's players, while someone else got to coach players Flood recruited who eventually transfered, busted, and had two first rounders.
