The positional coach is in charge of knowing his unit and development. Of course Sark makes the final call on roster management and play calling etc. But the position coach is solely in charge of development and informing Sark of what the oline can execute properly and contains the players necessary to win games. Rolling out Stroh week 1 after hearing all year it was Neto and Stroh looking like he just learned how to walk and not knowing our oline combination until 2/3 of the season is absolute malpractice no other way to put it. Hutson/Robertson/Campbell all plateau’ed last year, that should not be possible. I think I saw somewhere out of the 2025 OL haul only 1 player still remains? How far we’ve come from watching the Florida game

I think people understand that Sark is in control but they want the ax to fall somewhere for the problems they see and they know Sark is solidified. So the pitchforks are pointed toward Flood since he’s more expendable and an easier target.

Anyone who thinks that Sark doesn’t ultimately control every single aspect of his program hasn’t been paying attention. If anything, he needs to delegate more. Sark has been very clear that he has the final word on everything from every recruit who is offered to playcalling to NIL strategy. The buck stops with him.

CJ Or Gerry if you had to build your ideal DB class for 2027 who would it be. mine would be Meredith, Jackson, Snell and One of the The Other North Crowley Corners

Don't confuse them with facts, Rocky.

I completely agree. Let Flood coach the tackles and the overall unit. His tackle development is elite. But breaking up the interior and tackles like we do on the DL could pay serious dividends. Also, moving away from the large humans philosophy should really help over the next few years. I do think that Flood needs to revamp his scheme, because Georgia (and others) have figured him out. He needs a better inside zone / power scheme.

Seems like an awful big risk for deboer to start keelon russell given how shaky he is with the fan base

1. Arch End of list.

The problem with the whole Flood argument is this ... he doesn't do a single thing from coaching, to personnel, to recruiting decisions, etc... without the head coach being in lock step. And thats just the facts. So that's where all these singular arguments about the OL coach that is the HC, play caller and ultimate decisions maker on offers get's interesting. They are the SAME. So how does that adjust the thoughts and calling for the OL coaches job?

John Meredith III is so good we can not lose out on him true shut down gonna be a superstar.

Arch wasn't very good early despite the Oline. If you don't remember, just about everyone said that this past year was the year before the year. Meaning that more was expected in 26.

Great post with a lot of truths. I think Sark sees this and it's why he trusts Flood. Yes, he's not been perfect in his evaluations and recruiting, but he doesn't get enough credit for the good he has done. I think he could use help with another coach who really knows IOL and run blocking (evaluations and techniques), but again Sark has to see that deficit and make that call. 🤘

Tell me this. How did we go 35-8 last three years and make playoffs twice and should have this year without decent Oline play.

Everyday though? Same topic 12,000 threads on it.

Is he your John Mateer of this year CJ 👀👀😂

Kamario Taylor is going to be such a baller for MSST next year. If he stays healthy, he took a lot of hits in not much time last fall.

I can only speak on those I’ve watched enough so this is my top 5: 1) Chambliss 2) Arch 3) Stockton 4) Leavitt 5) Reed

Who gives a crap if the guy started another thread? You don't have to read it or post in it. Just ignore it if you don't like it and it will soon disappear if the first page. This board and some of its posters are starting to sound like the same idiots who made the IT board suck so badly. Unfortunately, they might have moved over here. I would 1000% prefer new threads over these albatross novel-like threads that take you a day to read, go off in 15 different tangents, and you have to read the entire thing for context. I also don't mind a little off-topic thread now and then, especially during the off-season. It makes board more interesting. Bottom line, by trying to play board-police you ruin all new threads. @Txhorn1213 Sark obviously likes Flood and trusts him. Why, only he can answer that. If we never get an answer to that question we will only drive ourselves crazy thinking about it. Sark, and CDC to some extent, are responsible for the production of this team, and we have to believe they are not going to keep a guy around who is not doing their job. That would be professional suicide. Hook'em 🤘

2025 Auburn is a 9-10 win team with Byrum Brown

We just saw Miami and Indiana showcase 2 elite OL groups filled with upperclassmen on the depth chart. As of now nearly every single backup on the Texas OL will be a freshman or RS freshman. The staff could be confident that the younger guys are developing, but having multiple vets along your line makes a big difference. If we want to play 16 games you have to be prepared for injuries along the OL. Texas took 5 DL last portal cycle. The same should’ve been done this year at OL. Yall can tell people stop complaining…of course our opinion doesn’t change anything. But fans have a right to be very disappointed as we’ve been looking forward to this OL portal class for months

I think he is stating that this is not the first post - there are been a lot about this. It's very narrow sited to say that he has underperformed since sark has been here. He has developed DJ Campbell to be a draft pick, Cam Williams was a 3* that got drafted (Should have stayed another year but he made that decision) Goosby is a 3* that developed. Hayden Conner 3* that developed into an NFL draft pick. Jake Majors 3* that did a great job as our center (Came in as a tackle) and is on an NFL roster. Kelvin Banks 1st round pick. Christian Jones, completely changed his trajectory from a backup in college to an NFL draft pick. He has generated more OLinemen draft picks since being at Texas than texas had in the DECADE prior.

If I remember correctly. He was the one that did not want to take a picture with the UT coach lol

I would need to see more of Meredith in person. Sanchez was the best corner prospect I have ever seen at the high school level.

Kamario Taylor is very gifted … he may be the big jump guy this season … if he has enough around him
