Did anyone watch the post-game show? Apparently Sark said he questioned some players desire after the long run for touchdown by the KSU lightning-fast white QB and made changes. 

He doesn't seem to shy away from calling things out. Hopefully he uses the same brutal honesty when evaluating the staff.

I don't disagree. But I can't help but wonder why it took until half way through the 12th game of the year?

Herman never seemed willing to contribute to the defensive side of the ball and Charlie never seemed able to contribute to the offensive side. Maybe Sark is figuring out that as the Head coach, he has to stay involved in the entire game flow? If so, it is a big realization. Even if it took almost his entire first season.

As a head coach, ultimately all aspects of the team are your responsibility. These guys shouldn't need a job description read to them.

Well, this is his 3rd head coaching job so I'm not sure why he would just now be figuring out that he has to stay involved in the entire game flow.

Yes... and Sark has had 2 other head coaching jobs at big time schools.  

Steve Spurrier once said, “I’m head coach for the offense Bob Stoops is for the defense” when asked about Stoopsy by OUs search committee.   It can work other ways, but you certainly MUST hire the right guy to “run your defense.”

I was surprised Sark hired defensive position coaches before landing PK. As a staff, they didn't appear to be on the same page all season. Seems ass-backwards to me, in hindsight.

Gideon and Joseph both raised an eyebrow to me. Would think the DB coaches would need experience in the Coach K system.

He can start by looking in the mirror first.

I think he expected this to some degree. I think we didn't. I think thats why he started off his hiring conversation with the word "rebuild." Nobody on this board has used that word until midway through this season. Maybe he sees things way before we do.

Is Sark starting off his hiring conversation with the word "rebuild" common knowledge or is it something that only a few insiders know about?
