The coaches didn’t forget how to coach. Something is, hopefully not permanently, disconnected in Arch’s head.

I thought Bobby's post this morning was interesting, with a former coach pointing to his feet being the issue. 

There’s a Major chance we know the guy that Bobby talked to lol

Literally happens all the time. The game evolves pretty quickly.  We’ve had basically the same core offensive staff and no fresh thoughts from anyone with any sort of pull. 
 

We expect Sark to stay on the cutting edge of offensive football while also being the head coach?  There’s only so many hours in the day.  

[akhookem]

Remember “if not now when?” And playoff or bust? (Some said natty/semifinals or bust). We’re 6 games in and have busted. In a dream world, who would be your choice to come coach at Texas if hypothetically Sark was not head coach at Texas after this season?

What happened to the Jordan Coleman short yardage package? The one that bullied Ohio State in short yardage? Had a handful of 3rd and 4th and shorts and Sark never thought to use it?

I am not entirely sure. Feels like it could have helped on the 4th and shorts.

How do I get the kind of job security Kyle Flood has? I’m trying to figure out how to do a piss-poor job every day and still somehow be considered essential to the operation

What do you think is the main issue with the OL? How would you fix it? I am just so surprised at how bad they look at times.

Some of the stuff we see from the OL on a week to week basis is truly horrifying.

Buddy ive been asked the same question for years now lol

[Ok_Longhorn]

If Texas goes to the portal for QB does that mean losing all 3 scholarship QBs that are set to return?

For me, it’s far beyond missed reps in the spring. He’s seeing ghosts and things are snowballing. I do think there’s something to him being shell shocked, for lack of a better term.

Seems he has had that shell shocked look for some time now.

Everyone keeps talking about how Arch is not seeing or ready the defense which is valid but the oline is also not seeing things clearly. Is it a scheme/coaching or player execution thing? Or both? 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Wild that the offense is worse than last year.... Go back and rewatch some of those games. same issues. 

[HDub1995]

@Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel does Arch have the ability to make checks at the line? As in, can he do that or does Sark more so have the play and have him run it despite what is being seen on the defense pre-snap?

It really is insane to comprehend. Thought we would simply have too much talent to struggle and also have an improved OL. Nope

It’s almost as if the OC is incompetent.

Honestly I think Arch is the biggest issue however Sark is not without fault as well,.

Be friends with the HC. Same story as Jeff Banks.

First thing I would do is give KJ a chance and go from there … plays are there to be made. It’s starts there

Doesn't seem fair to him to wait for Arch to fail again and us fall behind with the opposing defense just rushing every play. Setting KJ up for failure. Needs a legit start.

It’s definitely not a SIMulation…

Is there an issue with development on the offensive side of the ball.  Quinn and Arch were tabbed as the best recruit in the nation for their respective class.  Both to this point have not gotten to or exceeded expectations.  Outside of the tackles there has not been great strides there either...Banks has done ok in the TE department but special teams since Joe DeCamilis has been suspect at best.  Jury still out on Juluke as 1 year just doesnt have enough data points.  WRs are the lone bright spot but its hard to shine when the ball doesnt arrive in a catchable location.  Additionally on the offensive side Texas has come out relatively flat.  OU UFx2.  Last but not least there are so many Mental Errors, penalties/turbovers etc it makes me question the leadership top down for this program.  Doesnt appear to have much discipline.  Is this a wholesale problem, subpar coaching, players not engaged?  ETC.  What would be the OTF fix or is it just a patience issue and to much expectation?  Thanks fellas for all you do
