He 100% got too cute on 2nd and goal. This is his tragic flaw. Really good leader and offensive mind but he sometimes passes up the simple for the complex. And when he does it normally fucks up. 

Yep, he runs an NFL offense with college players against defenses not "smart" enough to buy all of the misdirection. We have the better athletes, use them. Our o-line finally has a bunch of dudes, but they are asked to do way to much instead of just simple blocking schemes that can utilize their size.

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. We weren’t exactly whipping the shit out of mediocre opponents.  See Kentucky

He wouldn't have been in that game last night.

1000% would’ve had hurt QB and no defense. We are 7-5 with Herman in the SEC. 

Sark has a program now and need to just have a competent QB that gets hot at the right time. 
 

FUCK OSU I hope they push for Notre Dame and get the first black HC national champion.

'When we got down there, they went to big people,' Sarkisian said of the OSU formation. 'I couldn't quite tell, I was on the far side of where it got leaky, but it's one of those plays, if you block it all right, you get in the end zone. We didn't and we lose quite a bit of yardage.'

Blames his blocking instead of coaching. He's not him. It was a fun season. I'll be back next year. 

Against blOU in 23 he ran it up the middle 4 times and then tried a quick out to worthy. People bitched that he wasn’t “creative enough” and was too predictable. Now yall are bitching that he didn’t run up the gut 4 times. The play call was fine, the blocking and execution was dogshit

Sark himself said that toss sweep is a score if you block it well…

Look up Quinn’s stats vs qbs we regularly shit on on this site.  They’re not that different. It’s just those guys played with more talent

That toss wasn’t going to be a td ever. We had 3 guys blocking 4. My biggest complaint is we didn’t run arch out. Look at the osu td the series before. Lines up and runs it off tackle. You bring arch and push him across, run up the middle, run off tackle. You don’t run toss. Then you’re forced to pass with the slowest decision making qb in the pocket I’ve seen.

Sark said his play call would have been a TD if his players would not have allowed players to leak through. The leaking had happen in 3 of the last 4 games if you include this one. Why would he expect that play would all of a sudden work? Instead we lose 6 yards. 
 

He said prior play did not work but it seems to have gained a half yard (have not seen highlight in detail). If so give it a chane to gain you another since that is all you need. Fucking Sark😡

I keep seeing bring in Arch. I also keep seeing Arch had his helmet taken from him and was unavailable.

Which is it?

I think Arch was concussed.  It would have irresponsible to use Arch in those circumstances and the staff knows it.

Let's just hope that was his knee-jerk reaction to the play getting blown up and that he backtracks later.  That said, players win games, coaches lose games.  Regardless of emotions, Sark *should* have said, "Defense made a play," and moved on.

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.

It is not just the goal line calls. We get an interception and yes the quick throws have been working and what does Sark do to cash in on the interception? He runs it twice into the line and has to punt it back.

Defender teed off on his head.  He was wobbly and actually stumbled when he got up, then had a blank stare beyond the typical Manning-face.  I'm going with the latter.

Oh well if that was the case then never mind. I didn’t know he was concussed and never heard anything. I mean anyone posting here like they knew is assumption but hey it’s on the internet so must be true!

also, when people say run up the middle I don’t understand why they think of 1984 run up the centers ass play. Ohio st ran up the middle on us right before we took down the field . Run up the middle can be off tackle as well. Hell qb sneak and push ewers in from behind had a better chance of getting in than a fucking toss play that never had a chance.

Hey the replay is on if anyone wants to see Ohio st not run up the middle to go up 21-14. Sark should have called a timeout, brought his team to the sideline and got into their ass about blocking and be a head coach that believes in his team and his call. That’s why he’s a head coach and as great as sark is I think he’s more of a finesse coach and isn’t gonna demand toughness and get into anyone’s ass about getting a tough 1-2 yards for the chance at a national title. We’re gonna run shotgun or toss from the 1 then say if we block it right it’s a td. Yea no shot if we block everything right it’s a td. That’s a typical OC explanation to every play they draw up on paper.

Texas was middle to bottom of the pack in red zone percentage ALL YEAR. You’d think a coach with the resources and players that Sark has would have the humility and sense to fucking self scout and button that up by the end of the season.

But nope, keep banging your head against that wall Sark.  The second down bullshit never happens if Sark owns the shortcomings early in the year and does something about it. Piss poor Sark.

Easy on the gas. Tap the brakes for safety.

I yearn for an offense where we line up and just whip your ass with the occasional misdirection or play action. I feel like we do that shot far too often to the point that it loses meaning.

This game has demonstrated that beyond a shadow of a doubt now that Sark needs to hire an actual OC to call plays. Sark needs to focus on designing the offense and turn over the play calling duties to someone else. Last night’s disastrous play calling with the national championship on the line should be enough evidence to anyone watching he cannot do both jobs.

Red zone was actually good this game. I don't consider 1st and goal from the one a red zone stat...the hard part has been done already.

Short yardage killed us twice in this game.  No reason not to have converted and be talking about a win instrad of a loss. Furk.

100%. Will cdc jump in and help make this happen? If not we will get more Shotgun toss plays from the 1.

We were 1st and goal at the 1. That is literally QB sneak territory. 4 times in a row if needed. Guaranteed touchdown. 

But no, we did fancy shit.

Let’s say we QB sneak twice, we get stopped twice. Are we really gonna be ok with trying it again?

Not even close. The playcall is terrible when you have a safety at the LoS just waiting to blow the RB up. We literally had no one to account for Downs, we ran the play like we were at midfield and Downs was 10 yards deep.

This is a joke right? YES. Even if you run it 4x and fail, Ohio State has the ball at their 1 and you have great chances of s safety or blocked punt

Both things can be true.  The play wasn’t executed well, primarily because OSU sniffed them out fast.  The play calls sucked.  QB in shotgun in short yardage is stupid and something too many OCs ignore.  The cure against size is vertical quickness in blocking scheme and getting to the Los.  sark went with his beloved horizontal slow developing shit. And then running that play to the short side of the field is moronic; it’s like giving the defense two extra players. Thats basic high school shit.

I haven’t seen anything about his helmet being taken away. I think he was wearing it on the sidelines. 
I thought he was concussed initially but there has been no mention of that anyone at all.

Yes. But we were in the game until we ran a toss sweep from the 1. Then, we were out of the game. It was retarded. It ended our season. 

If the screen pass doesn't go for a touchdown we kick a field goal there. 

And yes, the toss sweep was retarded.

I’d be okay with that more than I would the second down play call to do a toss sweep from the gun. Perhaps if we ran the sweep from under center it doesn’t look as bad but the pitch was received at around the 9 yard line. Even with Quinn I still don’t understand not calling at least 1 sneak, it would be the least expected play.

So basically you’re saying sark sucks at calling goal line plays? Sucked at it in 2023 against ou so he changed it up and ran shotgun toss and lost 7 yards. And because we all bitched about his play calling he decided to try something else that didn’t work so ho hum he gave it his all? Are you defending his shitty play calling you’re confusing me on your take?

Caleb Downs read the play. He made a great defensive play. It’s not much deeper than that. Maybe fake RB dive then pitch but you gotta just tip your hat on that one

Tip your cap? Gtfoh. It was fucking shotgun toss from the 1. There is no way you’re defending sark here.

Just look at the numbers. We are outnumbered on the play side. Either Sark or Quinn needs to see that and call timeout or audible. That play was never going to work with the defensive alignment.

He read the play because there’s no enough people to block on that side. It wasn’t some brilliant defensive play. It was offensive ineptitude.

4 to block 5 on a play stretching wide at the goalline is fucking pop Warner level stupid. We are trying to get our center all the way over to block a guy that’s inside shade on the tackle.

Has Sark attempted a FG inside the 10 all year? Doesn’t seem to jive with his hyper aggression.

I had to sleep on this, so I stepped away from it as soon as the game ended... which was, of course with a little time left on the game clock. If it's been beaten to death already, I apologize. But I overheard this and I had to figure out how to share it.

 

Steve! Hey, Steve... it's God, Steve. I have a message for you, so listen up. Steve? Are you there? Message from God, here. Pay attention.

It's first and goal, Steve, the clock is running out. The refs have done pretty much everything they could to hand you the game. Punch it in, put up two for the conversion, and start getting ready for Notre Dame.

It's Arch Time, Steve. You're on the one yard line with four cracks at it. Put in the young guy and get ready to celebrate. Having Arch on the team is a gift from Me, and you need to start using it better. Quinn has done a marvelous, a wonderful job, getting you to this point, and he'll certainly get massive kudos, and he'll lead you against the Fighting Irish as well.

But it's Arch Time, Steve. Put him in, score the TD – pass or run, doesn't matter: you're the World's Greatest Play Caller, you call it. Have the two-pointer ready, tempo the extra point – let them call time out, doesn't matter. This is it. If you let Will kick it (or Bert, whatever), you'll be tied and into OT, and you'll have to get the 2-pointer anyway, so do it now.

Steve? Are you listening, Steve?

Fantasy land. Everyone on this sub would absolutely bitch about it

How about this hot take. Maybe punch it in from the fucking 1 in the biggest game of the year and earn your massive salary and why we brought you here then we wouldn’t be bitching about shit. Instead of “meh he tried”  and yall bitch no matter what.

Sark is a big boy and earns a shit Tom of money and earns a shit ton of criticism when he calls shotgun from the 1. And he shouldn’t get to blame fans that bitch because he can’t punch it in. Ryan day didn’t seem to have an issue lining up and running it up our ass from the 3 that put them up 21-14.

This is where CDC needs to step in and have an honest discussion with Sark. Sark is doing great in every aspect of the job except the one that he should be delegating anyway.
