Why can't they establish any semblance of a consistent run game? A rusher will get in a rhythm then they'll be benched for multiple series... Baffling

Thats why I don’t think it was a penalty

Sark is who he is. He’s an X’s and O’s guy and good recruiter. He’s not the fiery coach who can get everything out of 18-21 yr olds. And yes, teams take on the coach’s personality- see Muschamp’s D in contrast to Sark’s offense. Kirby, Saban, Day, Meyer all emphasized - and demanded - physicality in all 3 phases of the game. This is a game of imposing your will, not X’s and O’s.

In all seriousness, the identity of the offense is living and dying with Arch's playmaking ability. It worked against Ohio State. It didn't work yesterday.

Thank you, @General Grant. A strong candidate for Post of the Year!

Personal insults aside, you’re arguing against a point I never made. I’m judging what’s publicly shown, and there’s a clear difference in the intensity, passion, and fire those clips display. Nobody said Sark has never yelled in a locker room. The question is what his teams consistently show on the field. Discipline, toughness, and accountability have been issues, particularly on offense. If you can’t separate criticism of a coach from a personal attack, that’s your problem, not mine.

Different players respond to coaching differently. Kirby recruits kids that respond to his style. No one can say Georgia is not physical or they are soft. Coach Boom brings it on defense for us. Sark is definitely more cerebral and I can see how he tries to reach the kids through mental approaches to problem solving and unity. His meditations and culture days are good, but you gotta be tough too. Our offense is finesse and is not tough. That is just straight up a fact. And that is just straight up a reflection of who Sark is. He can’t be something he is not, but he needs to figure out how to reach his team and overcome the dumb penalties and lethargic stutters. Kirby is an F350 diesel that always starts, chugs along, pulls whatever load you put on it and almost indestructibly tough. Sark is a vintage Lamborghini that looks awesome in the garage until it breaks after driving it a few miles at 190. Then there is Elko, who is basically a roadside bomb waiting to blow up his team and the fanbase with it. Just is what it is at this point. We can’t fix it on OTF, but I guess we should be thankful we have a Lamborghini and not a car bomb.

It’s actually unbelievable to me that sark hasn’t like set up 5 plays that are the “bread and butter”. Our offense is basically just a Chili’s menu - a bunch of random food items that can vary significantly from day to day, mostly averaging out at meh.

This

Calling a spade a spade for me is putting this on Arch’s shoulders. I understand special teams can’t give up that punt block TD. Defense was a bit leaky but still damn good enough to win. Sark can improve some play calling, but at the end if the QB can’t go through his reads and simply throw the ball away when needed, we aren’t going to accomplish what we want. I’ve defended Arch till yesterday I’m done, he’s been in the system for 4 years, starting full time for 2 and he still can’t be consistent, we’ve won big games but I can make the argument our defense has been a bigger factor for those wins. I’ve come to terms that Arch is just an average qb at best with some random big plays here and there.

If we lose to UF next week this place will be a hell hole😭

Everybody has a diff style. Look up tom Landry yo

Agree

Mods, who determines what players are in the game on our offensive plays? It just seems to me that Sark makes the right call but it's head scratching to see what RB is getting the ball (I.e. Brown on a short and 2). Not understanding why Bishop and Cooper aren't getting more looks when they appear to be our players with the most Pop. So the package goes in and Sark then calls the play based on those players or is it pretty much everyone knows how to run the play, let's do it and see what we get?

And sometimes the QB just isn’t good. All can be true. I just don’t know with Arch yet to write it down in permanent marker.

Sometimes it’s fit, sometimes it’s maturity. Kurt Warner is in the HOF, how many years was he in the minors?

No identity. The RB who left is thriving at Kentucky as the rbs we brought in combined don't have Baxters production. Hard headed offensive play caller or doesn't take the simple plays and constantly has his QBs with their backs against the wall due to inconsistent running calls, late developing routes/plays with out hot routes available for when teams overwhelm them with the blitz.

Monkey banks needs gone. Now

You are such an immature prick. The absolute worst part of this board is seeing you show up anytime something bad happens after you disappear during all the good moments. You have no idea what is or isn’t said in the Texas locker room before a game because we don’t have people leaking unedited pregame speeches on Twitter. What you get is an edited version from the media team. If you want to believe Steve Sarkisian has never yelled before a game or during halftime, go ahead.

Arch looks elite 20% of the time, but the other 80% looks like he’s seen a ghost or has no clue what football is. 4th year in college, access to the best QB coaching his entire life. At some point it’s just done, give it up. Also, remember when Sark treated him like he was Tom Brady in the spring and sat him out from anything live? Good move Sark, I can tell he hasn’t played football all year until the season came around. This is on Sark and Arch both, but for Arch I just don’t get why things have to get desperate for him to finally look competent and look like he understands his job out there. Until things get desperate he looks like a lost child in the mall.

Yep, this is what I was referencing. That one was a longer 4th down though, the problem there was the 3rd down call.

Stubbornness/Insanity is the identity

It would be the CFB version of Dukakis driving the tank.
