Riley to usc

[J.B. TexasEx]

On your game planning and splitting hairs, from what I've observed Sark hasn't called anything different in a 2nd half than he did the first half. 

You like to argue for the sake of argument, apparently.

You just answered my beef with Sark above. I'm not as confident that he'll match Herman's performance, much less deliver a championship. I guess our standards are more aligned with Cal these days if we keep Sark longer than two years if he goes 5-7 again. Egad

God help us in the SEC SEC SEC if we don't get our act together.

If defense had played all season like ve K St. they would have won several more games. 

Well, we just need to play a few more one-dimensional teams with freshmen QBs who can't throw. Then TEXAS defense will be back, baby! ?

Funny but true.  I for one was happy their backup QB didnt shred us otherwise it would have been 7 game losing streak

I think Sark can recover from a historically bad season this year

but has to grow in order to do it

and the biggest game on his schedule is NOT Alabama 

instead I think the 2022 Oklahoma game is the most critical for his future at Texas

if he loses to OU after they were blindsided and kneecaped by Lincoln Riley he will be the butt of ridicule from coast to coast

I thought Kansas did that already this year

On your game planning and splitting hairs, from what I've observed Sark hasn't called anything different in a 2nd half than he did the first half. And I understand perfectly what game planning is all about, having been charged with carrying out a few in my time.

I tend to agree with both of yall on this. SHA, Rod Babers tracked some interesting info on Sark's offensive cheat codes (motion, shifts, RPOs, etc) and found that he used these types of calls significantly less in the 2nd halves of games. Things that were helping the offense produce in the 1st half he just stopped doing for some unclear reason.

I do agree that game planning, play calling and making adjustments was limited in some ways by the talent on the field. This is exacerbated by everyone being 1st year in the system. Sark could have been better but at times he didn't have a lot to work with. 

 

[Mac-7]

Honestly that was a huge embarrassment for Sark personally

that really opened the door for doubts about his competence

or at least for me

a lot can change in the next 9 months if he is the coach we expected him to be

time will tell

but he absolutely cant afford to lose to OU in 2022

No, I really hate arguing. I don't share your lack of confidence. And you assume and speak to more bad times ahead. Either you think you're Mother Luv now, or you're way over your ski tips.

If you're predicting it, come right out and say it. But to act like its written in stone right now is not my issue, its yours.

Maybe the quiters will be long gone off of this roster.

Actually, I expect Sark to finish 6-6 next year and maybe 8-4 the next. Not exactly "progress" to me, but I'm sure Bellmont and the sunshine pumpers will try to call it that. History tells me Sark is way over his ski tips. He is what he is, until proven otherwise - 7WS.

 

[Mac-7]

 He is what he is, until proven otherwise - 7WS.

Agreed

as of now he’s a 5-7 coach till he posts a 10 win season and beats ranked teams

if he goes 6-6 next year I dont want to see him back for year 3

Hey, I hope Sark proves me dead wrong on my 6-6 prognostication. But, if he keeps PK and holds pat with the staff I think we can expect more of the same. This past season was embarrassing on many levels, especially the home loss to KU as 30-point favorites. 

Downward trend, 3rd year CFS in Year 1 doesn't bode well, IMO.

You're going to be fine. I'm fairly certain you're wrong and your stress is self-inflicted here.

Cowboys went 6-10 last year. I think they're 7-3 right now. Its not like what I'm talking about doesn't happen every single year.

Sark once was a diseased man. He is healed now. You're trying to compare two entirely different individuals.

 

[Mac-7]

I disagree

2021 was a historically bad season

Sark needs a BIG comeback in 2022 just to break even

What do you disagree with in my post?

Is Dallas not 7-3 (before tonight's game)? or that turnarounds don't happen every year? Those are the only two things I said.

Aranda was 2-7 last year. Plays for the conference championship this year. This just happened. Same with the Cowboys.

In that case Sark should easily make the conference championship next year

I hope he does

but the monkey is on his back to actually do it

...but the monkey is on his back to actually do it

wait... so Sark has a monkey as well?  Getting kind of creepy

I had already forgotten about the pole dancing girlfriend’s pet monkey

Yes, that will be part of Sark’s legacy

Better that than be known for spanking the monkey. ?

 

[Mac-7]

Its a shame that Sark got off to the worst start of any head football coach in most people’s living memory

I was expecting big things from him and now I have serious doubts

oh well, I still have the no 2 ranked women’s volleyball team with Melonie Parra to watch
