I am also choosing not to be a toxic, irrational fan in the sense that I am willing to admit that under the previous regime Bijan would not have been given the opportunity to shine and worthy would not have touched the field as a freshman until this week lol. I am also willing to acknowledge that things aren't as bad as they seem. We have blown three straight double digit second half leads. Leads that the previous staff would have never even achieved. Sark needs to be better but im not gonna sit here and act like he is incompetent and the sole reason for our failures too. At some point we are going to have to give people time to build. But yeah, he deserves some angst but to want his head at this point is unfair in my opinion. This, I can see what he’s trying to do. The losses are frustrating but I feel like he just needs the players. We have no player makers on defense, not one. Tough to win with the players he inherited.

I also realize it’s just lip service, but you can say that about undefeated teams as well. That’s the game of football. Every game comes down to 1 or 2 plays. “Ugh, man! If we could’ve only caught that touchdown pass in the first half, we’d have won instead of losing by 4pts!” Yeah, no shit, asshole.
November 1, 20214 yr 38 minutes ago, CurlyDumps said: This is absurd. Off the top of my head we lost Ehlinger,Eagles, Cosmi, Ossai, Graham, and Sterns. This roster is a significant step back from last year. When they finished…4th in conference. Imagine where this team is just with Eagles. Who made one of the worst decisions of any Texas player I remember to leave early. Ossai made the right call to get paid but it was obvious last year he was the only player worth a damn on D. Clearly more obvious this year. Edited November 1, 20214 yr by Skipper

Speaking of WR's, can also add Whittington to the list of gone players. He was shaping up to be a critical contributor.

November 1, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, CurlyDumps said: Speaking of WR's, can also add Whittington to the list of gone players. He was shaping up to be a critical contributor. Right. I mean he somewhat saved the TCU game from the same fate with a couple of key catches. We probably don't lose the last 2 if he's on the field. As is it we simply have nobody reliable outside of Worthy. WR room is just a mess.
November 1, 20214 yr Just now, bigup2dahorns said: Well, what we are talking about doesn't mean shit. And what they are talking about within the team doesn't seem to be making a positive difference.

November 1, 20214 yr This is setting up as: If we beat ISU, Casey starts the rest of the season. If we lose to ISU, Card gets the start vs. KU the following week.

Seems to be the assumption a program like Texas is filled with 5* players, but the reality is we have one 5* and one high 4* (Worthy) and the rest are JAG's that don't play like their recruiting site ranking. So basically coaching and culture?
November 1, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ONE YARD said: So basically coaching and culture? And poor talent evaluation within the roster (playing the wrong guys). But it's clearly those players' faults for not being good enough.
November 1, 20214 yr Sark’s remaining greatest task will be convincing the blue chip players he needs( especially in the trenches)to be successful at Texas, that Texas is a program worthy of their commitment. Good luck, it’s going to be de-commitment season soon. I honestly hope he’s a hell of a recruiter.

November 1, 20214 yr It's actually the fourth time. Spoiler alert---Longhorn Network has 'Texas GameDay' from 9-11am, and post-game show from 2:30-4:00p that day. I'm gonna assume that means KAN @ TEX, 11:00a. WVU also looking very likely for an 11:00a kickoff (12local). So that'll make, what?...Eight 11am games this season?

November 1, 20214 yr Good griefSeveral things here. Does the offensive line suck because the corner provides some help? I think our Oline gets the blame on occasion when we don’t have enough bodies.Second, notice the safety alignment and aggression.Then, why does Moore just run downfield?

Im not getting on here to defend Sark, but cmon these data points are crazy and emotional. how many games did they have double digit leads on ranked teams only to completely implode and have nearly 0 production in the 2nd half? I mean I can dig into it if you want, but I think you know the answer.
November 1, 20214 yr 21 minutes ago, MIkeHoncho said: When has he had a 10 win roster? well I would have to hope he had a 10 win roster 4 years into his Washington gig otherwise he isn't much of a recruiter. 10 wins in a season means you lost 3 games. 10 wins now ain't DKR/Akers type 10 wins.

I thought things were bleak, but now that I know its simply a matter of execution, 8-4 here we come. One game where the wheels come off, sure it happens. When it happens 3 games in row, coach em up better. But like the great Tom Herman always said....winning is hard.

It is fun to make fun of the BS coach speak and excuses he(or any coach) has to force out there to put lipstick on the pig.
November 1, 20214 yr I've got my doubts about Sark but his past record isn't one of them and at this point in his tenure here is worth exactly jack fucking squat I mean look at this fucking fraud.

November 1, 20214 yr look, there are people who make things happen through sheer force of will, determination, and focus on details, and there are those who do not. we all know this from our normal lives. Our basketball coach is the former, our football coach is the latter. there is no other way to explain any of this.
