That's exactly how he sees it. He thinks he can win a title like Jimbo & is set out to do so to prove all the naysayers wrong. Or until CDC tells me to hire an OC

Hey, easy now, @Grant Ward. Winning is hard!

Haha. That's great

To further add to my response to @jkates' comment, Urban Meyer is another coach who elevated his coordinators while overseeing the offense without being the play-caller. Mike Sanford (Utah), Dan Mullen (Florida), Tom Herman (Ohio State) and Ryan Day (Ohio State) all got head coaching gigs after calling plays under Meyer.

Couldn't have said it better, jkates. I wonder if in Sark's mind, giving up play-calling would be admitting defeat. He shouldn't look at it that way.

That made me laugh because it stung so badly.

Sark has impressed me more as a head coach than an offensive coordinator during his time in ATX. That doesn't mean he's nailed every hire, but he's done a great job getting this program elevated from the Strong/Herman mess he inherited. I wish Saban or Kiffin or Carroll or someone he trusts would convince him that hiring an OC wouldn't diminish "the reason [he] was hired." Yes, you were hired to call a great O, Sark. But, beyond that, you were hired to win. Maybe teaching your O to young, hungry coaches - as Saban, Smart, etc. did in their programs - is a good thing!

I get what your saying. Yet it's true. It's about the "process" and the bigger issue is most don't know how to plan, install, and run an effective process to reach maximum effectiveness. Failing to incorporate the required systems, individuals, and support structure to manage/ run the process. It's also not a cookie cutter answer to meet each environment. But in the end. I'm willing to bet most, if not all great people, businesses, and sports dynasties have one thing in common....their "process." Herman i again, 💯 agree with you on. Tried to short cut many things and believe his character/ personality traits killed things as well.

And if Sark were to truly buy into doing it that way, I think it would be the best thing for him and Texas. Sark might not want to admit it, but I think his biggest strength as a head coach is assembling a staff and being the CEO. In the current climate of college football, you need a great CEO as head coach more than you need an X’s and O’s genius.

CJ is the only guy in the room with the balls to ask the right question. I would have been even more pointed. I guess Sark isn’t paid enough yet to answer with accountability

Exactly.

Loved it. That quick move up the field was so smooth. Just an effortless athlete all the way through.

He will be a major part of the offense next year.

Jermaine Bishop Jr caught his first career TD and was actually used and targeted more on Saturday than he had been all season prior. I know it’s one guy and all that so it gets lost in the shuffle, but his usage and TD have to be confidence boosts for him. Hopefully we can keep it up.

You shall not question Sark about qb play or play calling

At times, I wish Sark would respond to questions a little more like a coach and a little less like a politician. Especially after losses. Especially after this question specifically.

I hate that cliché, "process". Herman used it all the time. The only process he knew was the pink slip process.

Sark knows football better than most humans. “He is not that sharp” says more about the poster than sark. Sark isn’t arrogant. If anything, he is stubborn. the reality is that neither ewers nor manning are elite QBs. People, me included, ragged on sark for not moving to manning sooner. We’re all seeing why. Ewers was essential in subtly bringing players here to turn the program. Arch was a rain maker when he signed. I think both have the fatal flaw of weak processing. Now Sark is a bit screwed. It’s a lose/lose moving on from arch. It’d probably tank the season unless Lacey is farther along than we know. Other high profile QBs will note sark bailed mid season. It’s a crap sandwich. sark’s failure, and I don’t know this, is not altering his system to maximize arch’s strengths. This is what I don’t get but I have to wonder if he’s tried it in practice and arch still can’t see the field but now there’s fewer blockers so processing flaws are exacerbated. I think the right question would have been how do you improve (or what would you like to see differently on) real time checks and/or last minute audibles when they’re necessary.

12 personnel and 20 yard crossing routes, bro.

Has nothing to do with this topic.

Up to 6 scholarship players on roster … with pictures!

What is Longhorn process? If you listen to Kirby Smart halftime speech, he focused on Process not score. Process is Physicality. Beat them up, it's war. Muschamp is more like Kirby than Sark.

Population will always produce the most players overall. Just like more 3-stars are drafted than 4's and 5's ... its a numbers game!!! But any thought that Arch struggles are tied to be a small school player are just flat out wrong. I gave you the list with many tremendous QB's ... it's right there if you actually dig deeper. You simply don't have to come from big cities and the biggest schools to be a high level athlete, at any position.
