A championship culture is built on what you tolerate.

Nothing will change until everything about this program does. 

Texas is in a position to compete for a national championship every season but ultimately just doesn’t get the job done. I’m not saying this season is done, but if changes aren’t made immediately it's just about done. Anyway, It's not a lack of talent, or athletes, or the ability to have good coaching. It’s lack of competence. 
 

Complacency brings sloppiness, mediocrity, and satisfaction. I’m not trying to take away the success Texas has had in the past couple of seasons because it’s been nothing short of impressive for how bad Texas was in the 2010’s. But allowing for your team to lose games the same way year after year and be okay with it because you make the playoffs, or win ten games in one season is just unacceptable and plainly insane. 
 

I’m not asking for perfection because that’s just almost impossible to do now in this state of college football, shoutout IU. Indiana is the perfect example of how a program needs to be run. You don’t need a 50 million dollar roster to compete. You need discipline and consistency, and it all starts with the coaching. How are you going to challenge your players to not do the things they want to do but instead what they need to? How can you coach your players to keep your emotions in check? The answer is discipline. Discipline is the answer to success. If coach sark had discipline he would understand that the way he’s running things isn’t working and would take accountability. He has to have accountability to see that sometimes you can’t have it the way you want it. It's time to give over offensive play calling duties to someone else. If he’s unwilling to do so it exudes to his players that accountability is held to everyone except himself. That is a recipe for disaster. It doesn’t need to be a rework of what Sark wants offensively, but he needs to be the HEAD COACH and no more. At some point as a fan it feels selfish to see him answer questions regarding the problems his team has and simply ignores issues the reporters ask him. 
 

At some point, we have to stop looking at every loss as an isolated incident and start asking ourselves why the same problems continue to show up. A penalty here, a questionable decision there, a lack of execution when the game is on the line. Any team can have a bad game. But when the same issues keep appearing, eventually you have to look beyond the players on the field and examine the culture that is being established behind them.

An elite program doesn’t just recruit elite talent. It demands elite standards. It demands accountability from the players, the assistant coaches, and especially the head coach. Nobody should be above criticism, and nobody should be satisfied simply because the program has made progress.

Sorry for the rant, I’m just a frustrated fan.

True. It's the difference between good coaches and championship coaches. Sark is just a good coach at this point. I doubt he can make the next step at Texas. He reminds me so much of Fred Akers who refused to hire a competent OC and it eventually got him fired.
