Damn, you'd think UT would have at least one playmaker at DL, LB, and/or DB.

Was it PK's lousy scheme or selfish, clueless players who held the defense back? Looking at you, Coburn, Foster, and Overshown, et al. All 3 were overrated/underperforming.

he screwed up the thompson-card quarterback battle in my opinion

If you mean there never should've been a "QB battle" than I concur.

I was hoping Card would transfer - not Thompson. Oh, well.

They haven't trended up.  They have been flat 8-4, 9-1 (COVID year), 8-5, 9-4.   

aggie has averaged 52% conference wins in the SWC, Big 12, and SEC. No matter where they go, there they are. Fluke Covid year notwithstanding. 

I'm surprised one of Katy's newest high schools - #8? - has achieved so much this quickly.

Go Panthers!

I don't know if I leave SLC for a QB coaching position. Kinda down the totem pole for someone who is a king where he lives.

 

But, it probably pays twice what a HS coach makes and it isn't a bad place to start if Dodge wants to be a collegiate HC some day.

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.

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.

 

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.

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!

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.

Furthermore, Sark is now 1-22 (or is it 1-23?) as a HC when trailing at halftime. His record speaks for itself. Nobody is that unlucky. 

But, I'm sure his X's and O's looked fantastic on the whiteboard...or in his head.

No, I shouldn't. Namely because you just invented that.

A play calling issue involves the plays being called, hence the name/term.

Execution deals specifically with how those plays are carried out.

It doesn't take a press secretary to know the difference.

I don't know what you're searching for here. If you want to fire the guy after one season, that's your right to think that. Otherwise, what on earth are you proposing happens? Thats what you never want to get to it seems.

Sark apologist, lol.

All you need are pom-poms and skirt! LOL

Yeah, I would've fired Sark after this season because he just matched CFS's worst. 

I didn't "invent" anything and I don't need a vocabulary lesson from you. You don't appear to understand how game planning is supposed to work. A good coach will call plays he knows his team can execute. Not a difficult concept to understand.

Hence, my assertion that we got off to a few quick starts but performed poorly in the 2nd Halves bc no real adjustments were made.

3 minutes ago, Sirhornsalot said:

Why?

You're trying to complain about play calling while pointing to an execution problem.

 

If the players can't execute what's called, it's also a play calling issue. You should know that. But, carry on as Sark's apologist and self-appointed press secretary.

I don't think you're referring to the play calling.

Give me an example of a 2nd Half where Sark's play-calling and adjustments won the game for us.

I agree

but I’ll feel more confident when Sark lives up to the hype as an offensive wunderkind

He did in the 1st Half of many games. 2nd Half, not so much.

Stewart skips his senior season and nobody finds that odd?

I know he's got talent, but he also may be the type of player we are currently trying to rid of in the locker room. Would much rather pass on Josh-Moore-type-crazy and bring in players with a concept of team.

Jayden Blue skipped his senior year, too. I hope he's not crazy either.

Basically compared Saban's first year to Sark with two relevant quotes from Saban:

• "You guys are putting winning ahead of doing it right, and that's wrong"
• "You can't get it right until the people are right"

At some point this season I got the feeling from Sark the whole year was in evaluation mode. I asked a question on another thread why there wasn't a full turnover via the portal last season, and the only real answer is he wanted to give everyone a chance and see how they performed for him. Of course that's no guarantee Sark will be on the same trajectory, but it does mean taking one season to clean house is completely reasonable.

Everyone wanted to get rid of the country club atmosphere and fix the culture... This is what looks like.

*sigh*
