You Are Sark...

[TexShoe]

OL, OL, OL.  Our OL is and has been a complete disgrace. We did have Banks and Cam Williams, but the only reason we got those two was because Cristobal took off for Miami last minute.  Goolsby was a diamond in the rough 3 star guy that everyone missed.  Us and A&M were his only 2 big offers.  Without a functioning OL, all the weapons we have will continue to go to complete waste.

CDC won't can Sark with the buyout, plus there isn't a guaranteed better replacement, but I do think he would give him an ultimatum.  He needs to replace the OL and special teams coaches and probably hire an OC.  Look at our defense.  They show what can be assembled when you  have UT's resources playing in the SEC in big games every week.  There is no excuse for us to not have one of the best OL's in football.  Whether it's selection of the players, their development, or their scheme, that's all on Flood (and Sark). It's not Sark as a play caller that is the issue but rather that a team at this level deserves an OC that spends 24/7 coming up with ways to beat the next team's defense.  Recruiting, fund raising, interviews, etc are too much.

Serious question, but does an ultimatum end up working out? At the end of the day if you’re a head coach that can’t operate the team the way you want then how are you going to be successful? I think he has to willingly make the changes you mentioned or Texas should move on. People will say there aren’t better options, but you can’t keep doing the same thing each year and hope for the best. Not with the amount of NIL this program spends.

At seasons end regardless of what happens banks needs to be given one task and we need to find a legit special teams coach, flood has to be shown the door, and sark should be told to find a young and upcoming OC that he can help with play calling. Sark is really good at designing plays but seems to get in his head for parts of the game and go back to throwing deep all the time instead of analyzing the game and see what's working. Also we need to give muschamp a raise, make him one of the highest DCs.

Yea I mean an "ultimatum" is not required here.

You say look Sark, you being your own OC is obviously not working. It's time to bring in the offensive version of Muschamp and step back into purely head coaching role.

If Sark still can't see this very obvious picture after what has taken place this season, then we don't want this guy in charge of our program and need to eat the buyout.

This should not require any significant convincing.

Banks is gone, weirdo aggie.  Actually surprised he lasted 2 years with Saban.  And you can’t have the means we have and have a bad o-line for this long.  Figure it out, good grief.  Figuring it out would be start over and get what you need for next year.

Dont care about sark calling plays or not, but put someone in the booth that could call plays.

Camara will be retained regardless of what happens with Flood. 
 

Not sure on Nansen. The LBs are playing well.

He gave it up at USC to Clay Helton at one point so there is precedent. 

He also never said he’ll never give it up here. He said he wasn’t giving it up 15 minutes after we lost to OU in the middle of the season. There is a difference.

If his options are give up playcalling or stop making $11 million a year, I’ll bet you which one he chooses.

I've heard him say it other times even during the off season. He's even said it was the reason he got the job at Texas. I just don't see him giving it up, I've heard him say it too many times. You're also forgetting that Texas still owes him a large buyout and he could easily get another less stressful job if he wants. 

Just my two cents anyway.

That's ridiculous dude.

There is very little chance Sark is the play caller next year. You have to be kidding me if you think CDC and those funding our NIL operation are going to sign up for another year of Sark's horrible coordination of the offense.

If Sark keeps his job (fairly big if given we likely lose at least two more games), there will be a coordinator hired for sure.

CDC gets literally zero say in any of this lol. He's a mouth piece, that's about it.

Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, and countless others got head coaching jobs because they were elite coordinators, but understood that being a HC requires more than calling plays. Refusing to give up play calling when it’s clearly not working isn’t leadership, it’s ego getting in the way of what’s best for the program.

Well he's had plenty of time to find someone to run the offensive side of the ball and hasn't. So I'm just going off what he's said and his own actions. Now apparently someone told me he gave up play calling at USC but who really knows. 

I guess we'll see what happens in the off-season.

I actually think you're right. My guess is he'll demote Banks to TE's coach and find a special teams coordinator. Maybe he'll make Banks full time special teams coordinator and promote Stefve Casula to TE's coach?

Keep Flood as tackles coach (probably cut his salary) hire interior OL coach. Remove Banks from Special teams and hire a special teams coach. Fire Milwee and hire a real OC and QB coach that has roots in the west coast offense.

His ability to develop T's is a bit overrated imo. I doubt Flood will stick around if he's demoted.

[JurassicSark]

It is an absolute miracle the things that Kyle Flood is able to get away with.
