Desmond Howard is an idiot for posting that. Completely irresponsible.

If sark does leave you go to Saban with a blank check and if Saban just wants to stay retired so be it than go after Marcus Freeman or god help me cause I’ll get crap go for Dan lanning

Good imo.

Obviously but the roster inherited by the next guy is far better than what Saek inherited.

Gerry has been dropping hints about offering Marcus Freeman a huge bag and make him say no, so maybe that would be the play.

Good or bad?

Could be some interesting news that breaks today. I’ll be on the lookout.

At the end of the day that would be disastrous depending on who came in to replace Sark… would almost guarantee roster turnover and some rebuilding.

First off I love Coach Sark. I dont think he is perfect but who is? I think offseason adjustments are needed but that’s every year. While not trying to be an alarmist about Sark leaving….First the Diana Rousini report. Now des howard talking about Sark being gone. Have heard many shows hinting…I know a lot of people want to think Diana is a “click bait” reporter, but she is not and even @Gerry Hamilton confirmed what she said was true. Des is Des, but he is not only one saying all of this. There is a lot of smoke here. Something to monitor. Would love for it to be untrue but with no focus on 2027 class, idk what to think. Im taking it all with a grain of salt but again something to monitor (I mean how can I take Des too serious with that hat lmao…fast forward to halfway thru video) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRKHyHFDX7M/?igsh=ajQzM2JtY2RmcHJw

That's totally out of the blue, and it's not like Howard's not connected enough to hear some things. My belief would be that Sark's chasing that Titan's job, he didn't refute and it he doesn't seem to have the focus this year.

I'm a recent grad... they redid a lot of it over the past couple years. It's now "Tommy Lasorda Field".

Totally agree with everything you said! 🤘

I just posted it above

Honestly, this is exactly why Iwaited a full 24 hours before posting anything. When you look at the numbers laid out like this, it’s hard not to say the quiet part out loud: the offseason talent eval and offensive roster building flat-out missed the mark. And the stats don’t sugarcoat it. Last in the SEC in YPC (2.61). Second-fewest rushing attempts. Dead last — by a mile — in conference rushing yards per game. Averaged 5.0+ YPC vs ranked teams only three times in 13 tries. That’s not a “trend.” That’s an identity crisis. It’s a combination of everything: • Personnel misses (– whether we mis-evaluated the backs, the OL, or both) • Scheme stubbornness • No real rhythm or commitment to the run game • And a portal strategy that backfired This isn’t bad luck. It’s structural. The SEC is a league where you earn yards on the ground, and right now Texas is trying to win heavyweight fights by shadowboxing. You can’t live in 3rd-and-8 all season and expect your offense to look coherent. The craziest part? Sark came in with a 1,000-yard rusher streak that spanned like a decade and half a country. Now we’re staring at a season where the leading rusher might not hit 450 yards. That’s not a small dip — that’s falling out of the airplane without a parachute. There’s a ton to fix this offseason, but the first place to start is admitting the eval and acquisition strategy at RB and OL simply wasn’t up to SEC standard. Until that’s addressed, everything else is window dressing. And yeah… this was the toned-down version of what I wanted to post yesterday.

Does anyone have the full post? Won’t lie, I don’t see that as a good thing even if this year was a let down.

I don't care who the eventual coach is but averaging 71 yards rushing in the SEC and being dead last of 16 teams is ridiculous. And yeah Howard didn't just wake up with that epiphany either. Things are obviously going on.

It began with the report that Sark was eyeing NFL. Which has still not been refuted by Sark, he just attacked the messenger.

Wow, that was even worse than I thought. That is absolutely insane.

Why would Kirby want someone gone who is mentally weak and he’s 3-0 against?

No surprise but deeply disappointing to have the lack of rushing production in year 5 for Sark. Sark, Flood, Becton and Choice failed Texas. Excellent detailed work CJ!!! 4 year players Hutson, Robertson, Neto and DJ didn't develop into an IOL group that can successfully run block. 4 years is plenty of time to develop fundamentals, techniques, explosiveness, more size/strength, better push and cohesion to run block effectively. Becton, Flood and Sark didn't succeed with OL. TEs have not been good run blockers over the past 5 years. Becton, Banks and Sark need to do better with TE run blocking. All our good Herman/Drayton RBs are gone. Drayton recruited maybe 5 RBs that went on to get drafted including two that were the first running backs taken in the draft. We converted a tweener to RB out of necessity. Without Wisner, we would have next to nothing at RB. Choice didn't evaluate RBs well enough imo. We had 2 RBs coming back from serious injury. We didn't hit the portal for a RB like we should have. Missouri is #1 in rushing and they hit the portal for RB Hardy. Our RB woes are mainly on Choice and Sark. Our OL & RB personnel, development, coaching and rushing attack came up woefully short this season. Sark and others did not recognize the urgent need and potential to get a starting portal RB along with upgrading our IOL. Pathetic rushing attack this season along with poor pass blocking in many of the earlier games. This is year 5 for Sark, Flood and Becton yet we waisted Arch's first season as a starter. Going forward changes need to happen. We are not on the right track as a rushing offense.

That was the last called run for a RB until the final play of the game — a handoff to CJ Baxter. Woof.

The Cowboys and Raiders getting together reminds me of those joint practices at St. Ed's they used to run back in the day.

Wouldn't mind moving away from the oversized OL with poor athleticism on the trail. If they're big and athletic, cool, but they need to be able to move their feet. Think they've also been hung up on these massive CBs too who simply don't have the short area quickness for the position. I doubt they would've ever recruited Barron because he wasn't 6'1" +
