It's most definitely worse than it was at the end of the 2025 season. About the same as it was with Stroh playing, which is simply amazing.

Real scouting tells you what a player can AND can’t do. When every commitment gets a “BOOM!” and glowing reviews, but weaknesses are rarely discussed, that’s not objective scouting. That’s marketing.

Problem still remains that Sark has no answer for when defenses send 6 and 7 guys after Arch. Every DC has looked like a genius against Texas and then go back to reality when they play other teams. I am assuming Sark has removed all bootlegs, TE slants and draw plays from his playbook because these aggressive defenses have not been punished for their aggressiveness. 100% on Sark

@Jeff Howe no argument.... it's worse, worse, worse....

There is just a multitude of problems that has been have been consistent over the past 6 years and it still hasn’t been addressed. Sark is great at the opening scripts but the in between is terrible because when opposing coaches adjust it’s like he’s lost all his brain cells Arch this season isn’t helping either he’s completely lost his confidence and it’s the same response post game every week “i didn’t play well enough gotta play better” We honestly should have saw this coming when the reports out of Fall camp was Arch could’ve been sharper in the scrimmages etc. Also what has happened to Siani and baker they had glowing reviews during camp and they get whipped almost every play

As bad as this sounds, I don’t think changing play callers salvages the offense. There are personnel problems as well. Sark stinks as an OC from a development, construction, and play calling point (everything).

Outside of guys inherited from the previous regime (Hayden Conner and Jake Majors turned out to be NFL players) and the 2022 recruiting class (DJ Campbell was drafted, albeit later than expected), I’ve been disappointed. Interior offensive line play should be markedly better than it was last season. You can argue that it’s worse.

I agree. Sark needs to step down as OC (probably not gonna happen this season, I would become even a bigger fan if does do that). I posted Tillman’s comments on Arch because there is just too much vitriol aimed at him (here and nationally) just because he has not lived up to unrealistic expectations placed upon him by others. I have never heard Arch make any comments about him being the best ever, being as good as his uncles, or that he deserves to be winning national accolades. That is all on the media and the fans.

Respectfully disagree with him with respect to Arch. Sark's playcalls leave much to be desired for long periods of the game, it's been evident with multiple QBs. That speaks to poor QB evaluation/development and/or poor execution. Arch isn't seeing the field and making problems for himself with his pocket awareness though. He's had QB coaching since he was a kid, and he showed better pocket movement last year. Plenty of blame to go around. Sark, Flood, Arch all contributing to this. Only change we can credibly make in-season is by seeing what we have in KJ Lacey and hoping he can execute the plays Sark wants to run for him. Hopefully he shows more pocket awareness/movement. Not sure if it's Arch's foot injury but that is one of the more glaring regressions in his game year over year.

When they talk about the player like they have spent a lot of time doing personal scouting- which they sometimes say they have- they should be more realistic about a player’s potential. If they truly believe every player they scout is going to be a difference maker, then they are truly just sunshine pumping. I’ve rarely heard them say someone that commits is overrated.

This OL can’t be fixed this year but we do have bodies to try at different positions LT Goosby LG Sikorski C Christian or Hutson LG Hutson or Seymore or Coleman RT Siani Baker is the most disappointing one for me this year. Just looks clueless out there at times. We knew Robertsons strength was an issue and didn’t address it in the offseason

Marcus, how much do you attribute to the play calls versus the player? We saw the change when they simplified the playbook for Vince. Do you see a similar upside for Arch. Vince could read blitz and either get rid of the ball or take off. I don’t see the same out of Arch.

You know even in our wins we haven’t played well on offense. In spurts yea, but not enough to create an identity. A quarter here and a quarter there but overall it’s regressing bad. I doubt anything can be done about it this year. We aren’t magically going to figure it out in a week of practice. We’re going to lose several more games so everyone needs to prepare for it. CDC is going to have a choice to make here shortly. Let Sark hire an offensive coordinator or cut ties and start over

Can’t fault the OTF staff. They do a tremendous job covering this team and the recruits across this country. Kudos to them for having to provide wall to wall coverage of this shi+-show. Recruiting can be a real crap-shoot. Plenty of 3 stars in the HoF and plenty of 5 stars are now used-car salesmen. You can bring in the most talent in the country, but there has to be the development step. And IOL has been a serious issue for Flood. Breece Hall’s statement still rings true all these years later: “It’s five-star culture vs. five-star players.”

100% agree with Tillman and @Marcus Myers

We have not been good at coaching changes. Don't like what is going on now but not giving up yet. Hell almost entire top 20 lost yesterday.

Will Stein you are a longhorn!

I flat out don't know @General Grant. And by all accounts, it doesn't seem like they do either. I could not tell you one way or the other what Milwee's play calling could look like. Maybe it's Sark is heavy with the script and then let Milwee call it from there which could give Sark the opportunity to focus more on situational needs? I don't know. That's why this is all so frustrating. Hell give it a shot. Everything should be on the table. Could it be worse with someone else calling it? That's where we are. In year 6.

There’s a difference between celebrating recruits and constantly selling fans on how loaded this roster is. It’s “BOOM!” all offseason, praising evaluations, development, and depth. Then yesterday Bobby says there isn’t a single great player on offense, including Smothers. So which is it?

And yet if Arch can't run the offense he's calling and we don't expect him to give up play calling during the season...if you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results...well...you know what that's the definition of.

Marcus what would you do now as far as a play caller? AJ? Postseason yeah a full reboot. But what now. I’m lost. Respect you a lot

We are tough soldiers brother. Trust me I never wanted to be right about it either

Sikorski has played better than I expected him to. Center to RG to RT seems to be our weakness this season as opposed to last season which was more C / LG. Common denominator is C and zero depth to replace starters who aren’t getting it done.

There's a reason @Joe Z and myself have been 10 toes down on this for a few years. Got Quinn killed and now Arch
