A little over a month ago and this question still applies. The second half of the season is at stake. Are we going to just let the wheels completely fall off before breaking the glass on even a Co-QB system like Urban did with Leak and Tebow? They won a natty doing that. Staying the course without any changes whatsoever is looking like it’s putting the player ahead of the team to these eyes.

I’m not saying Herman would have done exactly the same, and he had his issues. The point is context: Herman didn’t have NIL, the transfer portal, or the ability to plug roster gaps with experienced players, the difference these aspects make is massive. Denying that would be ignoring how much modern tools can change a program’s trajectory, especially Texas. Sark has had all of these advantages, yet five seasons in, the offense is still predictable, QBs are underdeveloped, and the team has no identity. That’s not opinion, it’s observable evidence on tape, in stats, and in outcomes.

Man I wish I was on message boards during the strong years so I could see how insane our fanbase was

Sark is in charge of getting all of it fixed. I hope he does.

Herman definitely never had a $30mm roster to work with.

You’re the winner IMO. Pls send me a direct message.

Herman could recruit skill guys but was awful on the line of scrimmage. He did well early on with Charlie’s guys, at least better than Charlie did. But by 2020 recruiting went aground and the well was drying out.

Sadly, Bouwmeester is probably the MVP of the season at this point.

Not angry, just tired of it.

What's that???🤣

Herman never managed the roster well.

Bouwmeester played well also. 8 punts for 336 yards including 6 downed within the opponents 20. He has been a field flipper.

I think blocking would also be nice.

It’s called coach speak because every coach does it. Listening to pressers and expecting anything illuminating would be very frustrating. People never seem to get angry with coach speak after a big win. Wonder why?

So you’re saying Herman would have done as well as Sark did the last two seasons? Highly, highly doubt it. Losing culture overall because the majority of his players did not trust him or believe in him.

What? The mods are anything but sunshine pumpers, especially Bobby.

Texas’ MVPs yesterday: 1) Ryan Niblett 2) Defense 3) Getting the ball in field goal range in OT Without all three of the above, Texas loses.

Miss State RB Bothwell has been out with ankle injury Didn’t play Saturday at Florida

Saying Tom Herman never sniffed a playoff ignores a ton of context. Back then, there was no legal NIL, no transfer portal, and the playoff only included four teams. Sark has had every modern advantage, top 5 recruiting classes, unlimited transfers, NIL flexibility. The transfer portal alone gives Texas benefits Herman never had, it lets you fill roster gaps immediately with experienced players, upgrade weak positions on the fly, and replace attrition quickly. Essentially, it’s a tool to fine tune the roster every year in ways previous coaches could only dream of. Yet here we are: five seasons in, and Sark would have made the playoff only once if it still only took the top four teams like Herman’s era. That’s the reality

39.5-40%

Sark’s offenses have been extremely disappointing since he got here and his half time adjustments have consistently been terrible. I think it’s too much to be the HC at a place like Texas and the OC. Just look at Ryan Day and how tOSU has changed (as pointed out by another poster). Even Nick Saban had DCs! Sark needs to look at Saban. This offense has been all brakes and no gas. It feels more like Quinn over came the offense more than the offense helped him compete at the highest level he could. I like what Sark has done as a HC, but he needs to swallow his pride and hire an OC.

Good news from Cam. If I remember correctly, he's pretty solid on unchallenged 3's.
