His recovery history from alcoholism is his biggest problem. He’s too lenient and forgiving when it comes to second chances because of how he got his second chance. Some shit he lets fly doesn’t cut it if you want to win titles. 

We wouldn’t have sark if he still battled his alcoholism so be very thankful for it. Fucking shitting on someone’s recovery. Not cool at all

OU

The Texas offense mostly slogged through that and only blew it open with Wisner creasing OU a couple times.

Watching the elite Texas defense just bludgeon the OU offense was beautiful though.

The parallels with Ohio State and Ryan Day are actually pretty similar. 

Both Sark and Day have flaws but only idiots would want them fired or think they're bad coaches. When you keep getting close and stacking talent it's just a matter of time until you break through. 

 

 

 

Hiring Chip Kelly is what had made the "break through" for Day thus far. He did still lose to Michigan though.

To his credit Sark did make some halftime adjustments and got the ball out of Ewers hands much quicker. Lot of quick throws to receivers and hoping they made plays one on one vs their defenders. More often than not they did and got decent yardage on first or second down. We’d be singing a much different tune about Sark if he had handled the goal line offense better. Unfortunately he didn’t and opens himself to a shit ton of criticism. Hopefully he’ll learn from this.

I mean….are you upset at the truth? A lot of people picked aggy to win that game. People on this sub were ready to blow Elko in the back of a Chevy after the LSU win. So you asked the question and got ur answer

User name and what not..

Yep. I have my qualms with Sark but if you're consistently putting a top 5 type team out there, which he has for two straight years, at some point it probably breaks for you on pure chance if nothing else.

It was a genuinely well coached game from Texas... aside from two brutal, kick in the nuts type play calls.

Sark had some warts this year with playcalling but nothing really went right for us. 

1) Major injuries at RB including our projected starter. 2) Moore and Bond were banged up for half the year at WR. 3) Our tackles were far from healthy to end the season. 4) Ewers was injured early in the year and played like a guy afraid to get hit in the 2nd half of the season. 

Outside of Williams, did we even have another injury on defense?

HCs are and always will be, like QBs judged by their successes or failures in the biggest moments. Ask Doug Flutie. 

That said it was Sarks best half time adjustments in 7 games. I guess he focused on that over the break rather than goal line game plans.

Maybe next time he'll do both.

Name a game this year where the expectations were realistic.  Every team has warts.  Every coach has bad play calls.  Three years ago Jake Majors was getting driven into the backfield.  Hayden Conner is unable to bend his knees.  Our QB runs a wind aided 5.0 40. 
 

Guess what play Chip Kelly called on 4th and 2 earlier in the game?   A toss sweep to Judkins that got blown up for a loss.

What do you consider realistic expectations?  This is year 4 of sark right?   Hey we’re in the final four two years in a row. But honestly, other than Bama, where had he over exceeded our expectations?  And even the Bama game, Milroe was just getting started.  Let’s hope he doesn’t fuck Arch up

Mack Brown and Bob Stoops agree with you.

Saban and Meyer think you're hilarious.

I’ll probably get torched for this post (bad timing for that comment) but you guys had a great season.  No, it didn’t end with a national championship, but that only lands on one of 133 teams.  You were one of the very best.  Be pissed you lost.  I get that.  But be proud that you got to the semis.  That’s hard to do.  Very hard.  And you guys are set up for long term success.  I wish we had 1/4 of the resources you have.  You may very well be here next year.  That’s something most of us only dream of.  You are positioned to do it.

Don’t you have other shit to worry about and just let us be pissed about football

Is this an attack on PK?  Sark hired PK. You don’t have to denigrate our D to give sark his flowers

Huh? 

I'm saying sometimes there's luck involved. A big reason our D was dominant is because we didn't have many major injuries. A big reason our offense was probably only a top 20ish offense instead of a top 10 offense was because of injuries. 

Sometimes shit doesn't go your way with injuries.

Michigan was ranked in the top ten at the time.  That was a fox game. Joel klatt had to sell the game but even he knew a blowout was coming.  
 

asu was garbage.  Clemson snuck in.  Aggy had a young qb.  Ou had a young qb and no receivers.  Actually first quarter, Quinn and sark kept ou in the game.  So now that I think about it, the one game where we exceeded expectations was CSU

Should have used Arch on the 1

He got hurt on his one play. I couldn’t believe the broadcast didn’t even bring it up. I’m assuming concussion because the training staff took away his helmet.

I dunno man, we win at Vandy. We all know First Bank Field is a tough place to win.

Yeah, he got hurt on a spearing that wasn't called, reviewed or even discussed much.

Drew Kelson and Wadlington both said on YouTube postgame that the goal line sequence is extra hard to swallow because they felt up to that point it was one of the best offensive gameplans we’ve had all year and we made a lot of good adjustments on the fly considering the hand we were working with (No Golden for 3/4ths of the game, Bond disappearing again).

That probably pisses me off more than the play call. Sark thinks that play didn't work because we didn't block it perfectly? I don't think it was possible to block that play "perfectly" given OSU crashing down. We had a pulling guard that had to somehow try to block 2 free defenders. 

He just needs to own the shitty play call.

The correct play was called (Len Dale White), we were just better.

Right play, wrong personnel.

Iirc, they were killing us with the 2 back all game. They killed the whole season in 2 back.

As much as Herman’s pigheaded stubbornness was infuriating, sometimes you need that sort of mentality.

Remember the 4th and 1 against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl? Herman said "fuck it, we are running it straight ahead four straight times and we're going to get into the end zone if it kills us". And that's what we did to win the game. 

That's not stubborn. That's playing the probabilities. 

Getting half a yard 4 times is reasonable.

The offense had first and goal from the one yard line to tie the game with about a minute left.  We managed to turn that into a 14 point loss. All year, we found stupefying ways to keep lesser teams around for closer-than-necessary wins.  Its not surprising that our season ultimately ended by finding a stupefying way to lose to a team of roughly equal talent and ability.  Sark is our guy and I appreciate the much he has done right, but the dude has got some shit to figure out on offense.

Offense can’t score more than 14 points, Quinn had zero pocket presence just as we’ve seen all season. It was obvious to anyone that Sark should’ve had Manning ready sooner if we really wanted to go get a natty this year. 
 

Yall can post all the stats in the world about Quinn and I was rooting for em, but deep down we all knew he wasn’t going to be able to get it done. 
 

Now we can all be aggys and say “we’ll get em next year”! 
 

Waste of talent again this year.

Yep find a QB with literally any pocket presence and we win the national championship.

Probably should’ve just had Manning run the offense instead of pretending he’s Tim Tebow. 
 

Then again that defeats the whole point of starting Quinn over him so I guess that’s not allowed because of reasons.

Or find 5 all americas on o-line that will block perfectly 100% of the time.  Which isn’t to say there isn’t some shit to figure out with the O-line, too.
