CFB Week Twelve Preview: Dawg Walking
I wonder how those advanced stats would shift if you took just the past 3-4 weeks and removed the stinkers earlier in the season when Arch was misfiring.

Beautiful. But is the logo not centered? I can't unsee that.- UPDATE #1: TEXAS indoor football operations facility. this BAD BOY is going to be GINORMOUS.
Yes, and that building was a 1000 years old so they probably jumped at the chance.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Rod Babers has a good quote he pulls out from time-to-time about football being a constant struggle between who you want to be and who you need to be in order to win. Whoever said that is right and it applies to Sark and every coach. We're witnessing sunk cost fallacy unraveling. This is not unique to Sark, every coach, and every one of us has succumbed to it: "They're only offering how much for our house?! Let's let them walk and hold out for a better offer..." "My raise should have been larger, but the benefits here are good and finding a new job in this economy is tough..." "We've put $1M into this project and it's now 18 months behind schedule with little to no hope of finishing. Let's try putting just a few more months of time and money into and see if we can turn it around." "We made this acquisition of a company whose product should be an easy upsell for our sales team. It's been 5 years and it's not working. Let's keep trying, we paid so much for it." The difference is that 1) Sark gets to go through it in front of all of us and 2) we get to be neutral outside observers who don't have the sunk cost to trap us. The sunk cost for Sark is his belief in himself and what he thought the team was, and all the work they put in during the Spring and Summer install to get there. Turns out that didn't work and now it's adaptation time. The adaptations are working, for now. But just like the couple who really really really wants to hold out for the better offer on their house (which isn't coming because they overpriced it), Sark is having trouble letting go of his vision for this year's team. Hopefully seeing the offense come to life will cause him to shrug his shoulders and say "welp, they apparently can't do the stuff I wanted but they can do this other stuff, so let's do more of that." UN-fortunately, the reason Sark wanted to stick with his original install is because it gives us more chess moves against high-end competition. The current version of the offense works vs. Vandy and MSU; it won't work the same vs. UGA. But partially working is better than doing nothing at all so...- Sark was in his bag! What Sark did to get Arch rolling: A film study
@Thatguy maybe you can write a little on how we can continue this at Georgia. From what I remember, their corners played up and either jammed or gave very little space for that short passing game last year. That forced Quinn to hold the ball which is death with their D line. And QE was elite at finding the quick pass but he was seeing ghosts after getting lit up a few times. No short passing game, and no running game vs. UGA seems like it might be bad.- The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
100%. Perspective is valuable here too. We're currently 6-2, coming off of b2b CFP semis. We've put a record number of players into the NFL, and the O-line was heavily impacted by that. People who judge a coach on that one season's results are dumb, you need to consider a rolling couple of years average. Sark looks good on that metric. Not perfect. But if your standard is that Texas should compete for the national title every year, you're unreasonable because no one does that. "Yeah we're 6-2 but a hair's width from being 4-4!" ...except we aren't. "Yeah but in the NIL/portal era there is no excuse for being young/inexperienced" ...ok? Coaching staff woulda coulda gotten better players via the portal this offseason, but there is no magical supply of the players we need either, and while we do have money to get players, the "money whip" thing is not real, because top-end players have a decision process that involves more than money. Ahmed Hardy would not have come to Texas to sit behind Baxter and Wisner. "Yeah but Sark's OTA/NFL focused offseason was too soft and created a bad culture!" ...the same culture that just pulled together for b2b OT wins. "Yeah but Sark is flirting with the NFL that that hurts my feels!" ...you'd prefer a coach that doesn't aspire to move up? And yes, coaching a NFL team is a move up in prestige in the coaching world. ANY call to fire Sark, or force an OC on him which is the same as firing him, needs to be weighed against the alternative. Remember: you're just as likely, maybe even more likely, to end up with Charlie Strong 2.0 or Tom Herman 2.0 than the next Saban. It's easy to bitch but you're rolling the dice every time you hire, ask OU.- Who will be next Texas HC?
CDC doesn't have shit to do with the HFBC hiring or firing decision at Texas.- Who will be next Texas HC?
His teams are tough and play hard, and his o-line is really good. Currently undefeated this year and played Georgia a lot closer than we did last year with way inferior talent. Not sure how he'd be at the bullshit parts of the job.- The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs

And steals. I still think he'll get a quintuple double at some point in his career.- The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
Can we stop with the "Del Conte will do this" and "CDC will do that" ? CDC isn't empowered to do shit on the HFBC at Texas. That's Eltife and a cabal of BMDs driving that bus. CDC is advisory at best and order-taker at worst if he's even on the bus.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken

Coaches only get credit for the bad stuff, not the good- Bill Belichick Rides Again: Hired at North Carolina to build NIL NFL Factory
As bad as it feels for BB, I feel more for the graphics design guys in the room who have to stand there while she shits on their faces with the "I could do this in 3 minutes in Adobe Photoshop" bullshit by a zero-taste, low-IQ golddigger who seems to think putting animated gifs on a website is in any way the same as building motion graphics for a television production. Every job looks easy until you're the one doing it, bitch. I'm thankfully at a point in my life now where I generally don't have to work with people I don't like, and I can walk away. That one guy leaning on the table looking at the ground probably doesn't have a tongue anymore because he just bit it right off. Good for him for being the bigger man, I'm not sure I wouldn't have snapped back at her when she showed her ignorance. - San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
