Steve gonna fix it!  That guy looks in the mirror to assign blame more than any coach I remember.  I like the way he holds himself accountable.

McEndoo has a few different ties to the staff. He played with Jeff Banks and Chris Jackson at Washington State and worked with PK at Montana State.

Hiring McEndoo is part of Sark’s answer to making up for the loss of Gunnar Helm. Instead of trying to outright replace Helm with another player, Jordan Washington and Nick Townsend could both function more like how Oklahoma State used its Cowboy Backs.

I also like what this could mean for the Pony (two-back) package, just in terms of seeing more of it in 2025.

Just to be clear, while the hire could be very impactful, this is similar to what Sark has done with other coaches he felt added value (like Scottie Haselton last year and the nickels or Joe DeCammilis and special teams).

McEndoo was let go by Mike Gundy after this season, so he’s been searching for a landing spot for this season.

BS, he is bring a new concept of using the TE/HB/FB.  No one  said anything about play calling.

We have no idea what he is bringing. For all we know, he could be the designated donut pick-up guy for meetings. We also thought Brennan Marion would bring Go-Go offense stuff to Sark's system and we didn't see a damn thing. 

I know we will spend this entire offseason trying to spin every move into an "oh, this is for x in the red zone," but that is not how the majority of these analysts' hires work. Some guys will spend time scouting upcoming opponents, some will spend time self-scouting, some won't even have a headset on gameday. It's impossible to know what an analyst's role is going to be 12 hours after he is hired outside of wishcasting.

Next time you bring me my coffee be dang sure it doesn't have cream or sugar in it. Also I will not be taking any meetings today.

With the difficulties Texas has had in the red zone over the last two years, I like that Sark is throwing the kitchen sink at the problem. He brings an innovative concept that can help  with very little risk to Texas. 

Honestly, Arch himself will solve most of our red zone problems. You need an athlete at QB. We got one now.

Fair point. Arch will be comfortable in the red zone but I’m more interested in seeing how different the RZ play calling is from Sark next year
