Try to be fair since nothing on offense looks good. But if the decision is already made it's Arch or bust next year then .. Hopefully portal like crazy at OL RB and yes WR. Even then I don't know if Arch is the answer but 5-6 more game to evaluate as hard as it is behind that OL . Then some really tough decisions have to be made all over. Yes even at qb imo. Or a disservice to the whole program to not evaluate everyone honestly.

Where I stand on the players/talent conversation: The players are changing and the results offensively are staying the same in the last 10-11 games. Thats my No. 1 issue

I’m not involved in those conversations so I don’t know. Sark himself cannot focus entirely on the offense. i think you’re a little overconfident in yourself. One who apparently can’t answer questions for discussion purposes.

NC winning coaches and got fired

He'd be a name in the mix if Rhule leaves Nebraska, I have no doubt.

I understand, and don’t feel attacked at all. I would argue that it is okay selection in addition too all the other things noted. Mainly because we’re not looking at the things other teams don’t do well, i.e. Kentucky is bottom of the SEC in rushing defense and pass defense, but we chose to try and attack their pass defense without first establishing a run game which would inflow the pass rush and create better match ups downfield. I heard a stat that we only had 6 rushes the first half. That’s not a recipe for success. Heck even if we’re going three and out running the ball at least the clock is moving and we were going three and out any way. It’s all frustrating because we have seen what we can do when we play up to our potential. Heck we focused on establishing a running game against osu and OU and they have the best defenses in the country. Why not lean on that against bad defenses?

Dan Mullen to Ole Miss I bet you @Gerry Hamilton

Gerry, I share your appreciation for Freeman, but could you expand your reasoning for picking Drinkwitz slightly above Kiffin? Maybe it's our current offensive problems, but I'm extremely envious of what Kiffin is doing with his offense.

Good read echeese.

Gerry I’m not saying we don’t have talent in most places. There’s talent everywhere on the team though OL has its talent deficiencies this year. Clearly not every great coach hits on every recruit. It’s the job of the staff to realize that on the offensive line we have done a great job developing an underrecruited LT, have a young talented RT who needs reps, have a senior RG who should be dependable, but have concerns at LG where out biggest recruit has not panned out and we are relying on either a project with good strength but bad feet or a freshman who has only played tackle…. And a center that is completely new to the position that has been okay at guard only before. At RB we have 2 out of our top 3 guys coming back from major injuries and the third guy not an every down back. I’m not one to call for coaching changes at all as a knee jerk. i just think the staff played down possible problems that could have been addressed prior to this year. I hope they will address this better in what should be a wild portal year

Ugly and disappointing win, however we are still in the race to get into CFP. Sark took a huge GAMBLE by going with young OL. He is betting on their quick development. The scheme is totally off to the current offense maturity. If his gamble fails we will be out of the CFP. Good Luck

Always enjoy the cheap seats from Cheese Honestly if Arch just makes 3 or 4 easy throws to crossing receivers, we would have had 100 more yards of offense and likely another 10 points. Arch is not the only problem, but he is the biggest problem.

Not sure his current demeanor would translate at that level. I’m sure he knows that though.

The smoke is real. I don't know if Vitello will end up in SFG or not. His run at Tennessee has been spectacular, but many college coaches are starting to feel like they are coaching pro teams. Might as well go coach a pro team.

After much thought I am removing my name from the University of Florida head coaching search. My focus will remain on family and current commitments. Best of luck to the program.

Or it may be something else. A few different paths to go down IMO.

There may be a lack of talent in certain areas, but that’s a direct result of staff decisions. When you’ve signed four straight top 5 classes and had full access to the transfer portal, any roster holes reflect evaluation and development issues, not roster limitations.

There was a fun discussion on MLB yesterday about this possibility. Turns out that Alex Avila played at Tenn......not this coach...... The issue, of course, is will MLB players listen to a college guy. There have been college guys that make the move. I tend to think that at the professional level, the boss makes suggestions....not demands. We will see. Then Again: Will Devers listen to anyone? we all no the answer......

We differ. Texas doesn't have clear lack of talent. Texas has signed four straight top 5 classes of nationally recruited players.

First, I am not picking on you personally. This ultra-orange family feels your frustration. Nor, am I giving the coaches a free ride. Our problem is not play selection. NONE of them work......that's the issue. It seems that everyone thinks it is play selection or effort. It is not. It is play execution. The basis of our problem is "paralysis through analysis". Our linemen are thinking after the snap. They should be doing the thinking before the snap. By the time they figure it out, the play is blown up. Then panic sets in! Receivers curl into the linebacker instead of away. Receivers cut their routes quicker trying to "help" the QB. Of course, that help ends up leaving the ball behind the receiver not instead of ahead. Backs have given up on "picking holes". They just run straight and hope for something. If I have one issue with the coaches, the issue is that they have yet to have the linemen "just hit the closest guy". If no one is there, go find someone to hit. Offensive linemen are not Mensa. They are gorillas. Treat them as such. Of note, the one positive big play for the night occurred (in 4th qtr) when Weisner stepped up and blocked the doggin middle linebacker. .......... the only time any back blocked any inside threat all night. Thank the Lord for small favors. One last thought: 1 ugly win = ? pretty losses

Another bad idea of yours!

Arch is lucky this wasn't picked. Shouldve thrown it into the 3rd row

Truly a disaster class in play calling

Absolutely stupid play call
