I believe it will be closer to 50-50 first team reps that thought/reported.

No, Tulane.

Bingo

I don't think Sark would be down for anyone taking over playcalling.

Most likely scenario that I see is that Arch will start the game. At half time, if the team is up, he's going to start the 2nd half. If Texas is losing going into half, KJ might get a chance to start 2nd half. If the team implodes again in the 3rd quarter, KJ might get a chance to come in.

So honest question. How does a finesse cerebral coach like Sark build an offensive identity with more physicality like Kirby, Muschamp, Saban etc do? Is it just handled by assistant coaches? They always say a team resembles its head coach. Is that then the problem? We will never have a physical identity on offense and just have to wear the soft label as long as Sark is here or a generational player like VY comes in and takes that role completely over?

HHMM. Did Arch really beat 4 of the top 10 teams? If so, then you have to say that Arch just lost to 2 unranked teams with a loss to an unranked team last year. If that is true, losing to unranked teams is far more damaging than beating the top 10 teams - we missed the playoffs last year with a loss to unranked Florida although we rolled at the end of the season beating those ranked teams. Personally, I don't give Arch credit for winning those top 10 games. You win as a Team and you lose as a Team.

I think it's a combination of Ohio State not having as much top-end talent on the DL as OU, Tennessee, and Florida. While also teams realizing they can play man on the outside, bring an extra blitzer or two and know they won't be burnt on the tail end while creating pressure on the quarterback almost asap. UTSA created the blueprint.,

What happened to the OL between the OSU game and now? Surely UTSA didn't have better athletes than OSU, and if not then how were we able to hold a clean pocket for up to 5 seconds at times, but now we can barely snap the ball without pressure in our QBs face?

Nobody knows if KJ is the answer, but firing AJ Milwee or Kyle Flood on October 19th does nothing for the rest of the season. A QB change might actually do something.

Man what a mess this season has turned into

It’s not, at least solely. KJ is also going to be BBQ chicken behind this offensive line. Can’t believe we aren’t talking more about how bad that unit is.

Hope this isn’t like an ant hill injury but part of me feels like if this offense doesn’t turn a corner this week, we might have seen the last of Simmons in Burnt Orange. no reason to come back if we have nothing to play for.

Oh definitely. I know I said it in a previous post, but the problem with the o-line is that they put on their Halloween costumes early this year. What's that Halloween costume? A turnstile. At the end of the day, we need to hit somebody.

Ultimately that will probably be true. Despite the last 2 weeks, Arch has beaten something like 4 top 10 teams? They have to look at everything, but Arch will start.

The frustrating part is, we all know how this will play out. Arch will start because of the Manning family narratives vs Ole Miss If he plays poorly and we get down big early, they'll throw KJ out there and hope he can provide a spark. If we're winning at all or it's still a close game, Sark won't replace Arch. No matter how poorly he's actually playing. That's the template for how we've lost the last 2 games.

Any record where we miss the playoffs for the second year in a row with a roster filled with NFL players will and should get him fired.

Are we even certain this team will be bowl eligible? I can’t find 2 games that I feel fully comfortable winning. It’s reported Simmons will miss 3-4 weeks min and Smothers is hurt again. 5-7 would absolutely get Sark canned.

Does he do hot yoga like Kiffin?

Oh.

What is it going to show though? And I don’t mean this to come off as rude, more just thinking out loud. Sark could tell me KJ looked incredible and the offense looked great, but how am I supposed to trust that? I was told we practiced great last week. I then attended that catastrophe last Saturday and watched 3 1/2 quarters of jv level football
