This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Agree on all points. We consistently come out middling on offense. Doesn’t matter if it’s with an experienced offense full of talent like last season or a young, inexperienced, yet talented roster this season. I saw a stat last week that said we’ve scored touchdowns twice in the last 20 starting drives or so. That’s fucking pathetic. It’s now clearly obvious that unless he’s an OC for a Hall of Fame coach, his offense leaves much to be desired. He’s slow to adjust if his original gameplan isn’t working (which is much more often than not). And his postgame comments today about his philosophy on not changing his 4th down play calling is maddening. Everyone keeps holding on to hope that this offense will come out firing like we did in Tuscaloosa a few years ago, but sadly, that night has proven to be the exception, not the rule.

Why don’t we just put clubs on the entire OL. That should cut down holding calls, right?

He “managed” to come in with the lead and lose it once he was in the game.

"the bear" - new series on fx
While watching that episode with my wife, in the first ten minutes of the episode I said “it’s like she wrote this episode herself or something”……Sure enough my suspicions were confirmed in the credits. By far the worst episode of the season.

"the bear" - new series on fx
This shit sucks. Really sad because when this show is at its best it’s great. It’s turning into Orange is the New Black where the whole show became about minutiae about the secondary characters.

Pixar's next movies: Elio
Took my son to see it this weekend. Animation is beautiful, but the story was very bland. I checked out 15 minutes into the movie. Went at noon on Saturday afternoon and the theater was 90% empty. Very sad to see how far Pixar has fallen.

Total panic trade back. Just take Simmons at 25 and move on. Trading back is stupid if there’s a good option available at a position of need. More picks doesn’t always mean better.

It’s more on the assistant level.

The “wild wild” is precisely this why there has been an exodus on the whole from the college ranks to the NFL the last few offseasons. In the NFL you get some semblance of an offseason whereas with how things are with the portal/NIL you are recruiting all year.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I have been saying this the last two years. Quinn is Simms incarnate. Their biggest failures came in the games that mattered most. Simms also had a higher career winning percentage. He left UT as the second winningest QB in school history.

I think undoubtedly, yes.

If you could envision a game that summed up Quinn’s entire UT career, last night would be it. Looking solely at his stat line one could think that he played well enough to win. Decent completion percentage. A few tds. But of course, Quinn showed us yet again exactly who he is and why he was never able to lead us to a title despite having arguably the most talented roster in 15 years. Running into multiple sacks, panicking under pressure, lofting throws instead of throwing them on a line once again proved to be fatal in a big time game. His best throw of the night came on the first drive on the one handed catch by Golden. Other than that, Quinn was Quinn and it wasn’t good enough against top flight competition. Yes, Sark deserves a huge amount of blame for last night and Bond’s crucial drop stalled out a promising drive near midfield, but at the end of the day if your QB cannot consistently execute in crucial moments you aren’t winning a title. I’m glad Quinn was able to help bring the program back to prominence and championship contention, but I’m excited to turn the page and move on.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Tonight should be the night that ends the “Sark is an offensive genius” narrative. He has consistently shown in his four seasons at Texas that there are massive flaws in both his system and playcalling acumen. There are far too many stretches in games where the offense is completely non-existent. These aren’t stretches that happen a few times a season. They consistently happen for long stretches of most games during our season. He has zero feel for calling plays in the red zone. He calls the same slow developing, lateral plays each and every drive inside the 20. Every red zone possession we know the following plays are coming: 1. Play action swing screen that is either lofted above the RBs or blown up 4 yards behind the LOS. 2. Near the goaline he will run out a big package that includes two defensive lineman (see first down on tonight’s definitive 4th quarter drive). 3. Outside toss to the boundary. 4. Fade to the corner which is inevitably underthrown or out of bounds with no chance for the receiver to make a play. We are at a point where our talent is better than 95% of the country, which will get us to 10 wins most seasons and in playoff contention. The issue is that Sark is exposed when he meets teams that are as or more talented than we are. The Bama game last season has proven to be the exception, not the rule. We played that game about as perfect as we could have, but we have not come close to putting a game like that together since. It is simply unfathomable that Sark didn’t run out Arch for at least a play or two at the goal line. I was fine with the first down call, but once that was stuffed we needed a different look. Arch is big enough to where he’s a legit threat for QB sneak, he presents a zone read option threat and he could be a play action boot threat. We bring back a less talented team next season with a tougher schedule so unless Sark has some serious reflection this offseason in how he calls plays (which I seriously doubt) I have grave concerns that we make the playoffs next season.

Is there consensus yet on the board as to the correct way to tackle Skattebo? We still have six days to figure it out, if not.
