I absolutely agree with this. I would add kick more. Field goals, and punts. You’re not good on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down. Take the points and put your defense in better situations, if you don’t you’re doing the team a disservice as the head coach.

Benching Arch for Caldwell over Ownes and Lacey… that should be encouraging to Dia Bell. The most capable qb is the one who has been in the program the least amount of time? Lol. Honestly, the best thing to do is not panic. We need to see how Sark and his team respond. Sometimes team play up and down to the level of their adversaries. We had a flood of preseason Kool Aid. Many drank it up with relish(not the noun… i hope). We are green all over on offense. Stroh and Baker are abysmal. Campbell gets 2 or 3 penalties a game and he is out alpha!? Losing Golden, Bond, Blue, Helm and not playing Moore, Wisner or Mosely with Baxter crumbling again after one carry… makes us an easy target for teams like UTEP to play with serious chips on their shoulders against us while Arch and the band iad boys try to figure it out.

I kind of like the idea of having him trade off series with Caldwell or whoever Sark thinks is the #2 long term. Gives Arch a chance to settle down and Sark a chance to see what the offense can really be with Plan B. I haven’t given up on Arch, but the proof is in the pudding.

A puppy dog?

Problems with the girlfriend might be the problem 😆

My guy it's a forum for Texas fans to talk about Texas football. What does any of that have to do with people's concerns? This is such a weird take lol.

You still don’t get it. Talk about the offense. Cool. It’s 9:01 on a Sunday morning. What are we even doing? I’m going to tell my wife good morning before I get in trouble.

You called everyone stupid for talking about the offense and then admitted you’re delusional - do you even understand what you’re saying?

Sam Houston is going to suffer next week.

A girl friend 😎

Being a fan is delusional, but letting this affect your health and mental space is asinine. Do something else with your Saturday.

I’d start working in Matthew Caldwell a little more. I wouldn’t bench Arch unless the offense under Caldwell was top 10 in the country.

Have you watched this team? This is delusional

Yeah pretty much this in the short term. May not be popular and likely lowers the ceiling for the season but the team could go 7-5 or something playing like they have

Alex, I'll take option 3 for 500, thank you.

Does Manning fix it and plays to his talent level? Is Matthew Caldwell the savior you want him to be? Or is this a humbling season? Bobby predicted the offense would start rough and Texas would be 3 - 2 after the first 5 games. Stop acting surprise, and stop complaining like you don’t have personal lives, responsibilities, trials and tribulations to take care of of and overcome. Blessings. 🤘🏾 I’m still rolling with 15 - 1 till I see a 2nd loss.

Me too. 🧡🐂🤘🏼

All great turnaround stories include big adversity and opportunity to respond / galvanize.

I like the way you think . I pick option 3

I’m not ‘reminding’ anyone, I’m pointing out what’s right in front of us. The O-line is a disaster, QBs aren’t developing, the WR room outside of Livingstone is barely functional, and the offense “Sark’s supposed specialty” is the part of the team falling apart. Pretending I’m being ‘negative’ for stating facts isn’t loyalty, it’s making excuses. If you’re stalking every post I make just to lecture me about disliking the coaches, that says more about you than it does about me. Pointing out the obvious isn’t a vendetta, coaches earn trust, and Sark and Flood haven’t earned a single second this season. Maybe start noticing the problems before policing fans for noticing them.

Less under center. Less play action. Go more shotgun and let him RPO/straight drop back. Less long developing plays and give him more quick/easy throws. Stop trying to play bully man ball, you don't have the OL or OL coach for it, you can't just arrogantly run with 8 guys in the box. Get your younger play makers more involved at WR/TE. RB there isn't anyone elite there, that includes Wisner, imo. Right now, it looks more like Manning is overthinking everything and Sark isn't really helping him out. He looks like he wants to call an offense that isn't working and instead of setting his QB up for success might have set him up for failure. While the OL isn't perfect he has time to throw, he just overthinks what he's seeing. He's also not throwing/playing like he did last yea, not sure if that's because he knew it wasn't only temporary or what. I should mention you have to do a better job of getting him going early and often. Not run on 1st down, run on 2nd down, okay 3rd and long, oh he missed. Might also need to have some other plays in the back pocket for some red zone plays. Just my uneducated take. To me it seems like he completely changed what his offense was originally but that's just what I think. Not sure I'd pay for my opinion or coaching advice but just what I'm seeing out there.

As discouraged as I am as a diehard fan, I’m just an alumni, a spectator, a class of 92 bleeding orange, love my horns….fan. There are 85 young men wearing burnt orange each Saturday this fall, who’ve dreamed since they were kids of winning at the highest level. For most of them, winning probably came easy. They were superior athletes to the competition from grade school through their high school years. Now, they’ve grinded all offseason in preparation for having a ‘magical’ fall, all of us just taking for granted we’ll be going back to the playoffs. But that isn’t how it works. There are no guarantees and it takes more than talent to win. This season seems like it could go in one of three directions: 1) I hope this doesn’t become a repeat of 2010 or 2021 where we go on a death spiral losing streak on way to a 6-6 season 2) Offense is up/down all year but defense wins several close games on way to 8-4. Feels like more of the same. Sark stays stubborn and digs in, unwilling to make changes. 3) Over the next several weeks, this team (including coaches) galvanizes, comes together, Arch gets surrounded with fresh voices and everyone rediscovers the passion and fun in the game. They grow through the adversity, come together and go in a magical run to the playoffs. i sure hope for Option 3. Would make for a great turnaround story. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Thanks Sark, but looking for solutions to help you here 😉

I’d quit my job and let Texas hire you to coach the team.

I'll second the Sports Psychologist. I don't know if Texas routinely works with one, but they should. I know that under Saban, Alabama used to regularly bring in Dr. Bhrett McCabe, who also works with a lot of the top professional golfers. Right now Arch, and several of the offensive players, need help with the mental side of the game. We always say that the mental side of any sport is of such great importance, but how many people/teams actually practice it.
