I have a feeling we will be extremely active in all areas of portal. After calming down and looking at THIS season we still can salvage a feel decent ending. Thanks to South Carolina we can have the privilege of forever being remembered in Aggie lore as the team that spoiled their unbeaten regular season. Glorious that would be. I just hope the team and coaches get mentally right before Arkansas.

Sark said they were expecting it and practiced for it....it sure as hell didn't look like it lol.

CJ Vogel replied to CJ Vogel's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Texas has forced 29 turnovers. Texas Southern currently has 31 points. -
Yeah some of the play calls make no sense and if even an amateur like ourselves can see it, what the hell is Sark or Milwee looking at lol. For all the clamoring that Bobo gets from Georgia fans, he seems to put his guys in positions to make plays and adjust to what they are good at. Our offensive guru once again out coached.

Afternoon fellas, Figured I’d type my way through this one as a bit of post-loss therapy. Last night stung and probably will until about Wednesday. I’d love to hear how Sark and staff can recalibrate now that the playoff picture is basically gone. @Gerry Hamilton has long been one of my favorite voices in the industry, and his humor tends to underline some uncomfortable truths about Texas Football. Sark’s had real success with misdirection, outside zone, and horizontal stress, 2023 being the high-water mark. But as time has gone on, we've seen less and less of a true power identity. As Gerry mentioned (and @Bobby Burton echoed this morning), it’s not that our guys are being out-physicaled snap-to-snap. It’s that the concepts we rely on simply aren’t physical in nature. That doesn’t mean we should burn the whole thing down like Mack did post-Colt. Quite the opposite: we need alignment at every level of operations. If Sark sits down with coaches, personnel, administration, and recruiting to establish a clear philosophical guide, I genuinely believe this program can course-correct. I told a buddy this morning that Texas feels stuck in a philosophical no-man’s land. We’re good enough to justify not making major changes… yet also inconsistent enough that a couple more losses could bring outside pressure demanding exactly those changes. And that kind of reactive shake-up is how “alignment,” as CDC calls it, gets blown apart. The sweet spot is internal, organic change initiated by Sark himself. Assuming that happens and certain coaching upgrades are made, the next step is personnel. We likely have one more year with Manning, and if Texas is going where we all think it can, some tough roster conversations are coming. College football in the NIL era is basically a one-year contract world. If you don’t meet the standard, you can be replaced. And we’ve seen guys flash late in the season, essentially auditioning for the portal or a future staff. That’s the reality. Positions where upgrades are needed (in my opinion): Offensive Line We’ll lose guys to attrition, graduation, and maybe the NFL (Goosby). Depth and competition are musts. Running Back Love Tre Wisner unfortunately he’s been pigeonholed but has real production. If he somehow gets a draftable grade, I wouldn’t blame him for going. Assuming he returns, we still need a proven, physical back to take pressure off him and a banged-up Baxter. Simon and Cooper are promising, but we can’t go into another season thin here. WR / CB Hard to separate these two in terms of need. We basically ran a turnstile at CB2 opposite Manny (who’s leaving). Meanwhile, WR rotations felt like we were searching for answers every week. Really curious about Santana Wilson—thought he was progressing but he seems to have disappeared. Linebacker Ant Hill is gone, and while Atkinson, Bo Barnes, and T.A. Smith bring upside, that’s a lot of inexperience. A veteran presence next to Lefau feels important. Position Coaches Who Need Upgrades WR – Not seeing real development from Chris Jackson’s recruits. DB – Something’s off: too much cushion, technique issues, miscommunication, regression. Jeff Banks – Penalties are out of control. I thought McEndoo might help TE development, but… not seeing it. Coaches I Think Are Safe (for now) Torre Becton Kyle Flood – He gets heat (sometimes deserved), but he’s produced multiple NFL guys including a first-rounder. Wish he recruited better, but his success is tied closely to Sark’s offensive philosophy. Chad Scott – First year, late arrival, solid recruiting with Cooper. Johnny Nansen – Recruiting well, some development wins, some setbacks. Must Keep Kenny Baker – The man. LaAllen Clark – Pass rush has been legit. Whatever happens, I’ll be there cheering for my alma mater. Curious to see what you guys think.

Shes fantastic -
This inexcusable loss coming off a bye week against a team who fired their coach is why we are essentially eliminated from playoffs. Had it not been for Sark and co laying an egg with their game plans and our execution of game plans we’d still be contending for a playoff spot.

1. Beat Aggy 2. Rebuild / Reload / Go hell bent on shoring up this roster around Arch for 2026. 3. Beat Ohio State at home in game two and get that albatross off Sark’s back.

If we didn't want him twisting the knife, then we should have taken care of business. We didn't, so the victor goes the spoils. This should hurt Sark and the players more than it hurts us, so let's learn from it and move on. -

He should. But if he's misrepresenting things ofc. Our defense (which he's mostly talking about defensive players recruiting wise) is plenty physical. If he's going to tell me Colin Simmons and Ant Hill are not out there smashing people, he's lying. Lance Jackson and Justus Terry (Or Atkinson and Johnson) will get plenty of run and bring plenty of physicality next year.
