If somebody doesn’t ask him why he called that horrible HB pitch instead of putting in Arch for a qb sneak or, hell, running it under center 4 straight plays, it will be journalistic malpractice. 

Hindsight is 20/20. I hated that call as well. But sark remembers those 4 straight runs against OU last year when we got stopped & we got absolutely no push on 1st down. I wish we had done something else but that play didn’t lose us the game.

The entire world could’ve predicted that play call would end horribly before it happened.  Not hindsight.

Sarkisian confirms it was a simulated pressure right before halftime on the tOSU TD.

 

Texas still had 7 in coverage, but Sarkisian credits Ohio State for blocking well down the field and capitalizing.

I mean there are numerous times when toss plays on the goal line work. Just not when your inside running threat isn’t there. Tried to catch them off guard, didn’t work. Bad call because it didn’t work. Didn’t end our season though.

So sounds like he still liked the play call and is blaming it on the “leaky” blocking.  
 

should’ve just said “bad call by me and I let the players down”. 

Bad call but I am fine with what he said. He didn’t expect the sack fumble. They had two timeouts and thought he could get the ball back. The score to end the half was a back breaker. Why blitz?

Coach Steven pissed his pants and called plays scared when it mattered. Surprisingly, we didn't see many of the 3 minute, slow developing, quadruple reverse screen calls tonight. But that toss sweep out of shotgun, on 2nd and goal was right up there with running a dive from pistol inside your team en end zone vs ASU last week. Rarely post on gamedays, out of emotional bias. But coach Steven showed up tonight, and called plays scared. With a quarterback with little mobility, and zero pocket awareness. Gut punch.

Did Sark offer to forfeit half his salary for that red zone call or at least the equivalent of whatever bonus he would have earned for making the finals?

Didn't think so.

"If you block it all right, you get in the end zone.  If you get leaky, you lose yardage."

And if you don't call it, you have three tries to jam it in from the one, and you still have a chance to force a punt from their endzone if you don't jam it in.

Take the blame, coach.  That was on you.  You know it.  Man up.

Or don't.
