Ahh, no. Just curious about the contingency planning for this season. My hope and dream is still fully aligned with the sunshine and roses option that he pulls off a Colt like sophomore year and goes on to do great things next year.

You posted the sunshine thread last night, now you’re in panic mode? 🤘

(dp)

At least he didn't face plant likely he does so many other times.

Come again?

What happened, sunshine?

In a vacuum, no, I don’t think Sark has the balls to do it, but there is a point between now and a 3 and 9 record this season that he’d have to.

Fair enough, but with the way Coach Flood has recruited/developed the position over his tenure, some questions do need to be asked. I don't think that's out of the realm of possibility, imo. We can point to NFL draft picks but can you tell me our OL's have been dominant? To another posters point that our OL's are better than Herman and Strong's, that is a given. But that is a low bar to set. Also, my bad for coming off a bit d*ckish, I'm just frustrated is all, like I think we all are.

Sorry, I'm not putting Lacey out there, as a true Fr. If Caldwell is good enough to be a game manager and get the ball to WR's and make the easy throws, that is good enough for the season. That is honestly all you need so far, Arch has struggled to just hit guys wide open and yes our WR's are getting open. That 4th& 3 he threw the INT on, he had Livingstone open for the 1st down conversion, was looking right at him and reversed and went back to the other side of the field....for no reason. Endries open on a little TE quick hitch, that you're supposed to get out quick, he see's it, hesitates and it nullifies the ability for the TE to get up field and make any plays. So many passes, not just in this game, that he is just not putting in a spot for a guy to make a play. Look at his last pass to Clark, that is a gimme play...missed it. I honestly don't know what his problem is, but if he's struggling this much against sub-par competition, the teams ahead on our schedule are going to eat him alive.

Cari Spears is on track to be the top freshmen volleyball player in the country and if she can continue on this trend, could go down among the top Texas Volleyballers of all time! Texas has built quite the resume, probably better than Nebraska's so far, but Nebraska continues to hold the #1 spot overall. A lot of volleyball to go but a head to head between these two programs for a championship would be epic.

I am reserving judgement until after this weekend. San Jose State and UTEP are not terrible teams. Everyone knew UTEPs defense was much improved and had the most TFLs coming into that game. We also had some injuries. Sam is just barely a D1 team and what talent they had got pillaged. I think Arch will probably look good against Sam. But if he doesn’t —a lot of things will need to change.

I hear what you are saying. I really do. But do you honestly think Sarkisian has the balls to bench a Manning. Sorry I don’t.

You ride Arch out and hope to see him return to last year's level of play and continue to improve and progress. Only three games in and people want him out. It couldn't get any worse than this past weekend unless your name is DJ Lagway. Contingency plan is change the offense to a running scheme with options and depend on kicking and special teams to grind out close games.

I’m willing to bet my house that no QB other than Arch Manning will see non-garbage time minutes this Saturday. Nor should they. The solution that Nick Saban did in 2023 is not applicable to the Arch situation. Arch is having a mental/confidence issue. The solution to a mental/confidence issue is not to bench your QB. Jalen Milroe’s issue in 2023 was not the same. It wasn’t even really an issue for Milroe- we were just really good with a good defense. SHSU is not the same as SJSU or UTEP. SJSU and UTEP were nobodies, but with a pulse. You don’t lead the nation in negative plays and sacks like UTEP unless you have at least a slight pulse/capacity to be disruptive. I don’t think SHSU even has the capacity to be disruptive. This will be the closest to “running on air” that the offense has got. Which is exactly what I think they need. At this point, they need a true layup game with long TDs, etc, backups in by the 3rd Q. I think we can get that and I think it’s critical. If we can get that, I think that plus the bye week will give them what they need vs Florida. Then a win vs Florida, even if it’s close, will give them what they need to take on OU.

At least DeMeco's side of the ball is the strongest part of his football team and he's the defensive play caller too.

Texans are looking like us rn elite defense but no offense OL can’t block CJ missing throws but at least special teams are good

Everyone has a plan until they start out 0-2 in SEC play and 3-3 on the season.

The continuity into SEC play is a concern. Will already be without Baxter this game. Would like to see every starter for the UF game stay healthy and play a full game against OU, too. We need to start piling reps together as a unit. That’s about all we can ask at this point with non-con 75% complete.

If we’re only up 7-0 again at the half I’M out vs SJSU 🫣😭

Yep that's helped PK build his defense into what it is today. Since he has a position coach for every room on defense, he can focus exclusively on game planning.

Any word on Moseley ?

Repeat this after me….Arch Manning will not get benched. No chance. You better pray he figures it out. That is the contingency plan.

Someone check my math here but a catcher nicknamed Chubs has a 100% chance of being awesome.

IMO if Sark does decide to hire a new play caller he should let the play caller then choose if Flood should be retained or bring in his own. I'm of the belief that the play caller should bring his own due to the fact there is continuity there and each know what is needed to create the offensive identity. We are 5 years in and we do not have an offensive identity or something we can point to and be like "yes, that is the Texas offense."

The OP is calling for Flood to be fired. I simply asked who should we hire.
