Look forward to the H Wiggins summary @Jeff Howe.

I remember watching the 3rd and Longhorn interview with Lance Jackson and one of his immediate answers involved Muschamp specifically as the "head coach of the defense." Going to the open practice this Spring, Muschamp was one of the first coaches on the field and was fired up immediately. The defense showed high levels of teamsmanship, they wanted to win as a unit no matter who it was against. I was slightly concerned with Muschamp coming off his head coaching career and his more laid back role with Georgia (I assumed I don't actually know what his role was) but I'm loving everything I've seen from him this off season, think this was a home run hire. Lance Jackson also mentioned how he thinks we got the best edge room in the country. I'd agree. I think we actually just have maybe the best DL in the country and it's not being talked about enough. I like a lot of these answers. Either from Muschamp about aggression, man coverage, havoc and winning at the line of scrimmage or from Sark about getting the team older (yes!), the 5 for 5 rule, recruiting and character. Great stuff!

I assume you’re speculating here. Or did Sark communicate something to trigger this particular thought?

Pretty much

Muschamp was really good. I’m excited to see the man coverage and scheme change he’s gone bring to the defense!!!

You need to get him on OTF @Bobby Burton

I swear I wrote something like that this morning! 🙂

You can still judge these things individually. The Sorsby case was absolutely insane, even the Trinidad case doesn't sit right with me. However, this is very benign. If Hutson enrolled even one year earlier in 2021 he cannot make this argument. It's totally reasonable for him to ask to be grandfathered in to a rule change that happened this off season. Or the Heinecke thing with OU. Obviously hate OU but that guy should be playing football, him being barred for playing lacrosse is dumb.

The fourth quarter of the Vanderbilt game.

I'll be honest, I'm out of my depth on the nuances of legal proceedings.

That's it for Sark. He'll participate in the FBS coaches' panel with the other FBS head coaches in Texas at 4:30 p.m.

Sarkisian on Bishop: “So for this summer, he's been working at DB. He's been learning our scheme. He's been learning the fundamentals and techniques. And then when we go back to fall camp, he'll go back to wide receiver again, with the notion of knowing, hey, if emergency strikes, here's a guy who already knows our scheme, and he can go over there and play on defense.“

Next up: round table. Sark v. Little Joey

Sark said Jermaine Bishop has spent the whole summer working with the defense. He'll go back to focusing on offense once camp starts.

Sark says Seymore’s body has changed since arriving at the beginning of June. Quick work by the strength staff.

Sark on Jermaine Bishop: "This guy loves football. Everything he does, he works on his craft."

Sark is proud that the three guys he's taking to SEC media days (Arch Manning, Trevor Goosby and Colin Simmons) are guys that they've recruited out of high school.

I would be shocked if he’s not your LG week one.

Sark: "We're not going to sacrifice character for talent."

Sark said some of the portal guys they took are a case of "seeing the forest through the trees" and trying to forecast what a guy will be like a couple of years down the road.

It doesn't look like it to me, but i could be wrong. Regardless, I don't see a reason why they'd need 2 goal posts on that field. The way practices are typically set up it's not necessary or an efficient use of space.

Sark on Seymore: "We'll find out a lot more when we get to training camp. But so far, so good."

Laurence Seymore "has done very well" since getting to campus. Sark feels like Seymore's body has changed and responded well to the strength program.
