Idk, Mods have been too quiet today. Not enough Articles from them... something is brewing...

Wut? Eltife is the man and who runs things....

I would like Road One please. With a concerted effort from all involved to fix the issues on the roster. Including but not limited to: - Ripping the bandaid on mis-evaluations at RB, WR and OL - Going all in on Cam Coleman / Jadan Baugh type skill players around Arch. - Making it impossible to say no for about 3-4 nasty interior OL with experience whether they’re on current P4 rosters or they’re JUCO or they’re off some unknown Wyoming roster. Evaluate, money whip, coach them up at LG, C and RG for next year. - Defense obviously has needs as well but offense needs the most surgery.

Dumb is Eltife over CDC.

All of them.

Maybe thats why Texas has had a hard time finding the kind of coaches they need to get them over the hump...CDC does seem to have a better grasp on how and who than past ADs imo. Either way its gonna be a bumpy ride if there arent significant improvements through the end of this season and start of next. Just my opinion.

Pretty cool story https://x.com/secshorts/status/1990839809128947742?s=46

Am I wrong? Except for the last sentence, that was clearly light hearted(a joke).

How many Sark threads do we need?

I think playoff hopes went down the drain with how badly Georgia whooped Texas. They needed to go 9-3 with a close loss to either Georgia or A&M to have a decent chance. Now it’s near impossible. Only thing that could bring those chances back up would be a blowout of A&M. Recency bias is a big factor in the CFP poll

CDC pulling the ol’Schloss and go on them again lol. Seriously though, I doubt many are going to agree right now, but I think Sark is a better coach than Elko. Flash in the pan with a schedule that ended up being weaker than it looked versus growth and sustained success are completely different. Let’s just see what happens with the Ags when they start playing better teams and QBs in the playoffs. We are going to be their toughest test of the season maybe second to ND. I have trust Sark can and will get things straightened out. It starts this week. Honestly, I wonder if all the pressure to be this juggernaut since the off season hasn’t just worn these guys out mentally, combined with the stress of the schedule and pressure of having to be perfect after losing to FL wears on guys especially when you’re under performing and young. Most important is to come early, be loud, stay late and wear orange these next 2 weeks. Regardless of the outcome we love this team, players, coaches, and school. Culture inside and outside the building builds champions. We can be disappointed in the result AND come out and love on these guys for the work they do to be classy and represent the greatest university in the world really well. Rant over, Hook’em 🤘🐂🤘

The problem with this for me is the way we have looked on the field. Struggled vs UTEP. Extremely lucky to win vs MSU and Kentucky. Ass kicked by Georgia and Florida. If we were last year's Ole Miss team that would be one thing, but to me we look like a team that actually has actually over achieved in the W/L column, we just aren't very good.

Zero chance. Thin that's Brian Kelley to LSU level. He would not mesh well with our university. We have always had too many cooks in the kitchen.

Love this lol! He thought Tyler from Spartaburg was bad, wait until he reads Surly Horns.

Using Sark’s own “top sales rep starts his own business” analogy… Sark is a great CEO and I want him as our CEO. I believe changes need to be made at various VP positions throughout the business to remove stagnation, status quo, and bad habits. I don’t think it’ll happen, but I would love for him to delegate play-calling duties. The CEO doesn’t need to attend every sales meeting. The CEO’s methodology should permeate and influence sales education, strategy, and execution. Hire an experienced, professional seller (play-caller) that you can further develop in your system to run the sales org.

I think the CDC thing showed itself after the Kentucky game and before Miss. State. It's like we are in a cold war style standoff between Sark and an OC.

Downfall? 😂🤣 Those TWO back to back playoff appearances were so long ago, Huh? Stupid, spoiled “what have you done for me lately” fanbase man.

I agree with alot of what you have to say. Sark is a great recruiter so the players and talent are there. The real question is Sark a championship coach?? Better than Herman absolutely, will he take you to the promise land.. .big question. Dont forget his nickname as a hc before Texas was 7 win Sark. On the other side of it ive said multiple time pk is a good coach not a great coach. Ref both of these mentioned can you honestly say either has put their players in the best positions to succeed. Id say absolutely not. Most players drafted the last 2 years combined....no ring in either the sec or nationally. Im not saying by any means sark should be fired, but a real conversation needs to happen. If Texas could get Cignetti away from Indiana for example, thats a move i would get behind in a heart beat.

If they win the final 2 games there should be serious conversations about Texas being a playoff team imo. Scheduling a game at Ohio State really did them no favors. If they had played Kent State that week and won 63-3 and were sitting with two losses we'd be right where we need to be. Scheduling was brutal this year. A month away from home, at Ohio State, at Georgia ... Finish strong with two games at DKR and see where the chips fall. If 9-3 is a down year, I can live with it. 🤘🏼 kick some ass to finish strong

I agree hiring an OC with similar philosophies around offense as Sark would help take some things off his plate. And I agree with all three of the issues plaguing each level of responsibility you outlined above. I disagree that an independent GM would help. That sounds like a Dallas Cowboys level recipe for disaster.

I posted this in another thread but I would want to hire Dabo .... yes I know he's flawed but he has championship experience 🤷‍♂️

You sound like Sark attacking Russini.

Maybe. I assumed he gave an excellent interview regarding program management with significant discussion regarding learning from Carroll and Saban but also talk of his previous failures and how he has and plans to overcome those. And certainly lots of talk about offense and offensive philosophy. He has been pretty on point on certain elements of program management too so that shouldn’t get lost.
