PK’s defenses have improved every year since he’s been here and went from god awful, to really good, to elite once Nansen joined his staff and tied the front to the back. As crazy as it sounds, Sark’s best offense at Texas was his first season with a healthy Casey Thompson, Worthy, Bijan, and Roschon. Made good throws in the short and intermediate game along with a great deep ball. Red zone was really good too. 1

Sorry but playoff berths count for more than a big showing against Tech and a one great half (sadly, the first) against OU in 2021. You can’t judge an offense on a game and a half, one of which was a sorry team. 1

I know we won’t win it every year and I’m happy be back in contention consistently. If we stay the course I think we’ll snag a title or two over the next five years. But you think our staff are idiots and you can find a better way. Then again you can’t distinguish our starters from backups in real time. Do you have a hi-def TV? Maybe watch the game from your couch with binoculars in the future.

I'm just going by numbers man....is what it is. Odds say a play calling head coach isn't going to win a title especially an offensive one because in the last 30 years Steve Spurrier and Jimbo Fisher are the only two to do it. I'd rather Sarkisian swallow his pride and hire a new QB coach with play calling duties. If he can't do that and realize his side of the ball is the weak link and reason why we haven't and won't punch through then that's on him. 4

Hashtag Posted September 7 Author Posted September 7 I find it comical that Sark is so hard headed being a Saban reclamation project that he can't see this. Considering Saban ALWAYS adapted to the changes in CFB especially with regards to offense.

Hookem72 Posted September 7 Posted September 7 (edited) As much as I love Sark, everytime I hear the commentators talk about a 40 play script, I pour a drink and prepare myself for disappointment. I started to lose faith in it in the Washington playoff loss after there was no change until halftime in the tipped Quinn balls over the middle. After two games against Georgia and OSU, the script has to go in big games. Be a playcaller, not a screenwriter. Just my ordinary joe opinion.
