Sark Offers Apology

When other programs get a kick *** coach, there is a noticeable difference in year one or two. No big difference now that we have seen that the close Bama loss and mysterious OU *** drubbing were mirages.

Sark is the 2020s version of the 1960s JT King and Hayden Fry. One or two games that flash brilliance, rest of the schedule displayed a team that was poorly handled. Results speak for themselves

I still do not understand how or why Sark ran off before the Eyes
But I believe he is the right coach.

The rest of the season will show us.

What it says to me: Sark doesn't bleed orange. Most coaches have been at many schools and states. For instance, Mack Brown was an OU coach - BUT, when he got to Texas - it was ALL burnt orange.

Hopefully, Sark gets there - but just as important - can he figure out how to win games in the 4th qtr and put teams away. IMO, there's no reason to throw 49 passes when we have a good run game with 14 pt lead in the 4th.

I kinda disagree. I think Sark did buy into all things Texas. Heck even his wife wears burnt orange. He ends EVERY conversation with a Hook'em. He also knew what happened in 20 and he is the one who said the team Would sing the Eyes. I am really disappointed in him leaving before the Eyes

But I agree 100% with your second paragraph.

If running plays don't work, he shoulda called more pass plays and vice versa. If whatever he calls does not work, he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I was there and I do not recall us EVER calling 3 run plays in a row to get the 1st in the 2nd half. If you are already going 3-and-out every time as we were, why not put it totally on the RBs to get the 1st and see what happens? Wouldn't you at least want to have that data point?

If Binder had controlled the locker room and his big, stupid mouth, he would still be at Texas exuding mediocre coaching and absurd in-game decision making. There would be your stability.

So, blame Mensa for the lack of the so-called stability.

Charlie, well, 3 of the most historically bad seasons in Texas history. He gone!

It is not Texas's MO to fire guys after 2 or 3 years except when they are so egregiously bad as the previous 2 misfits to occupy the head ball coach's office.

Charlie is not head coaching material at any large school. Red was right about it when they hired him. We had a very bad AD after Deloss retired and he set in motion some bad decisions. Thankfully he is gone. Sark does not need to be fired. He may have to hire a new dc.

After the recovery of the muffed punt, we ran 3 times in a row before passing on 4th, which was at the LOS pretty close to the tackle box. 1st possession on 2nd Hal versus Tech, we ran 3 of 4 plays. The only pass - a yarder to Helm.

When we begin to fail offensively, we often have limited usage of the run game extensions - play action, jet sweeps and often wildcat. In that Tech possession referenced, the “pass” was successful. I didn’t care for the OSU 4th down play call because the play contracted the field and was easy to play run and pass.

Generally speaking, those run game extensions go a considerable way to opening up the run game as they can steal an easy first down or two. They also are easy completions to potentially get on the edge.
 
i'm all for encouraging people to sign up. all for threads pinned at the top. all for sign up drives.

why rag on people? seems like bad form. bad esprit de corps.

Are you kidding? J T coached at Tech and Hayden was at SMU and NT and they never had the talent across the board to match up with the big guys

they occasionally beat the ranked teams but as coach Royal said, they did it with a bucket of minnows

and you left off Teaff, who did it at Baylor
 
Can we please stop talking fire the DC or putting all the blame on D...without ...bringing up the offense's penchant for hanging the d out to dry?????
One affects the other.
All four of the losses that bothered me most as a fan this year and last (bu, osu, tech, osu) all had one thing in common...
The D was playing plenty good enough to win until the O continued to squander opportunities and falter finally putting too much pressure on the D. This isn't just Pete or our D...this happens everywhere, all the time, in pro and college. You have to take advantage of opportunities on O, you have to sustain drives, you have to score points when given multiple opportunities or A. The D will tire and/or B. The opposing O gets more opps to adjust and they will figure out how to score

The defense can get better...but the O must take advantage when opportunities to put teams down on the ground exist and they must spell the D by sustaining drives at key junctures..especially in second halves.

Yep, both to blame in all the loses. But I blame blown opportunities against Bama, 2nd half playcalling against tech and failure to replace a horribly struggling QB against okie little.

It's always been interesting to me how 40 y/o man can coach like Suburban Meyer, Nick Saban and Bob Stoops all rolled up into one against Texas, but he completely blows it against other lesser teams.
