The end of the season…

We miss/ need a guy like keilan Robinson. He made our special teams special. We haven’t even attempted to come after a kick in the past several years. No discipline and just sloppy play. Too much talent on this team to be that bad

So much for “win the rushing battle, and win the game“

Sark lacks the huge balls Saban had if he doesn’t.

So at what point does it come to in order to make some coaching moves?

Jeff Banks didn’t lose this. He sux AZZ… but arch is the problem till he leaves. Spin some other bs…but the elephant in the room is Arch “ Deer in the headlightsManning” begins and ends with your QB

The sad thing is, is that this team was decently close to being 2-3 at this point because we keep “beating ourselves”. At some point you aren’t being yourself, you just suck.

Banks isn't going anywhere.

I have to agree with this sentiment

True story

I don't like calling for a coach's job, but coaches have been fired for less than the product Jeff Banks has put on the field the last two games.

....bench him no matter how bad he plays. He's tied to him until Arch goes pro. We can get angry, shake our heads, walk around the hood, whatever, but that dude is not going anywhere this season.

If they make it. I see possibly two more losses. The OSU win MAY get them in at 9-3, but a natty is not realistic.

Texas earned Saturday’s 27-24 walk-off loss to Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout. The Sooners won the physicality battle in the second half, out-rushing Texas (4-1, 1-1 SEC) by 30 yards (82-52) and forcing two turnovers. Arch Manning, not John Mateer, made catastrophic mistakes, with two interceptions that led to 10 points for Oklahoma (3-2, 1-1), including Tate Sandell’s game-winning 47-yard field goal. The inexplicable loss isn’t solely on Manning’s shoulders, by any stretch. The Longhorns couldn’t get a push in the running game when it mattered, Steve Sarkisian’s play-calling was as questionable as ever and Will Muschamp’s defense faltered down the stretch (although the defense by far the better of the three phases on Saturday). Texas is an undisciplined team that can’t run the football when it needs to, is inexplicably sloppy on special teams and failed to put its foot on the gas with a double-digit lead for the second consecutive game. *** Oklahoma had a distinct path it had to follow to win the game and the action at the Cotton Bowl unfolded in the Sooners’ favor. The Longhorns lost the turnover battle, 2-0. Oklahoma improved to 16-2 under Brent Venables when scoring a non-offensive touchdown. Mateer (18-for-26 for 155 yards) avoided making the backbreaking mistakes that plagued him through the Sooners’ first four games. Oklahoma won the line-of-scrimmage battle when it mattered and seized the momentum when Texas left the door open for a potential comeback. We’ve seen Red River upsets unfold in the past, which is why the Sooners taking the Golden Hat back to Norman isn’t a surprise, given how things unfolded in Dallas. *** Even though Oklahoma’s defense lived up to its billing, seven three-and-outs, a pick-six and a missed field goal would’ve been more than enough to question where Sarkisian’s offense is going. Then there was the last drive of the game. The four-play drive that ended with Courtland Guillory’s interception of Manning felt like a microcosm of what’s wrong with the Longhorns on the side of the football that’s putting out a product not much different than the one we saw last season. Whether it’s a lack of hot routes, Manning’s inability or unwillingness to get the offense out of bad plays or questionable football IQ in a two-minute situation, Texas is too disjointed to take advantage of the talent Sarkisian’s organization acquired in the offseason. Inconsistency is the only thing consistent about the Longhorn offense. The boom-or-bust nature of Sarkisian’s offense has a low ceiling for a team that can’t rely on the kicking game to do anything other than put the defense on short fields or give up points to the opponent. *** While the season isn’t over, the loss means that Sarkisian has no choice but to look in the mirror and see what changes must be made to improve the product. Texas’ offensive identity when push comes to shove it still to snap the ball to Manning and hope something good happens. When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t work, you get the outcome you got on Saturday. Sarkisian can figure out what’s working and hammer those concepts so that the Longhorns can lean on a few things. Or he can keep dialing things up that, while they might look cool on tape to put on the call sheet, aren’t doing anything other than getting the offense behind the chains. *** The opening kickoff going out of bounds was an omen for what happened at the Cotton Bowl. I don’t want to call for a coach’s job, but for Jeff Banks’ unit to answer a forgettable showing against Tennessee with a performance that was worse against the Sooners is troubling, to say the least. *** There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the nature of Saturday’s loss. After doing what it needed to do to keep their College Football Playoff fate out of the selection committee’s hands, Texas now has little to no margin for error. The product the Longhorns put on the field against Ohio State and Tennessee was good enough to win those games. It wasn’t good enough on Saturday. Texas played with fire one too many times and got burned. View full news story

Arch has his problems. But the reason this offense sucks ahh is the play caller himself STEVE Sarkisian. He needs a play callers or we will never be great. He is the reason for all losses.

So Sark can ruin him too?

Min Fkn stupid and never played sports if u think an OC makes the throws and decisions at QB. Till arch leaves Horns not winning shat

Sark will never give up play calling.

The developing is atrocious for sure. He should sit Arch and put in KJ Lacy just to see the difference

Complete waste of millions because of a qb … it’s not Sark… he can’t throw for him ..I hate it …but all this sunshine pumping ..fanatics spinning on recruiting and portal doesn’t matter if the QB sux with the lights on. Don’t counter with the QBR non sense… the PFF nonsense…the eyeball test has proven enough. I hate for the boosters money and head coach. Ready for Basketbalkl, Softball , Baseball..,

100% agree

True! Absolutely true…. But what gives them a break is they kept them out the end zone other than that. Truth is, the offense doesn’t help until we are down. This is on Sark.

You are sure right about that!

Arch is terrible we need to stop sugarcoating it, a half decent QB wins that game
