Can’t watch this and not get distracted by how slow Stroh is.  

He didn't look like he was running, as much as he was shuffling out there. Then Baker, well I don't know what he was doing.

The OL was always going to regress pretty significantly when you lose your starting center, left guard, right tackle, and left tackle all to the NFL. Not to mention your LT was a top 10 pick and the Center being the most difficult to replace. Outside of having all new starters the biggest issue I see even with improvement is the lack of athleticism at left guard. That is a Charlie Strong level offensive guard.

You guys really forget how bad the OL was during the Strong/Herman days. 

This is a solid step back from the last three years, but it is still better than that overall slop.

I don’t see that ever happening. Flood and Sark are tied at the hip and boys. I suspect a lot of Texas fans will be calling for Sark to be fired soon. 

I’m not calling for him to be  fired at all, but I am of the belief that we may have seen the best of Sark as a coach and program builder.  It’s not a given that he’s going to win titles here. When we look back on the Sark era, we may realize that his best contribution to the program was to get it back to a championship “caliber” program. 

The vast majority of coaches who won titles did so within the first five years of being the coach of the team/program. History shows that if Sark doesn’t do it this season, he probably never will with Texas.

I respect your take and it is fair but we do not know this yet. It took Mack longer than 5 years to get there too.  The best part we are gonna get to find outl.

Mack is an anomaly.

Counterpoint, if we beat OSU last year and face ND, and beat UW the year before and face Michigan, maybe he has two.

But to your point, we did neither, thanks to the offensive side of the ball. It's not just luck, evolution and growth are needed. 

Counterpoint, who out there is better suited to keep us in contention? An old Saban, a detestable Urban? I wouldn't even want Day or Dabo. Lanning is unproven. How's DeBoer doing?  Let's try Shanahan! 

Our best bet is for Sark to get over the hump, which to the OP point, may involve tough evals of his inner circle.

4 starters from last year made NFL rosters.

If that doesn't buy a coach a little more grace than this, I don't know what does.

If Cristobal didn't go to Miami, are Banks and Cam even at Texas?  

But, he landed the Brocks, so there's always that!

Obviously that's great and I'm happy for those guys to make it to the league, but can Flood's group play as one cohesive unit at Texas?  Can they avoid the constant false starts and holding calls we've seen every season he's been here?

It’s not 3 games.  Our OL hasn’t been as good as it should be for awhile

So everyone list your top 3 OL coaches Sark should hire?   Oh do not use google... Let's hear it..

I’ve never called for Flood to be fired, I’ve always thought he was a strong hire. That said, his track record with elite Oline recruits isn’t where it should be, and the run blocking has been shaky. He’s got to bring in more top-tier talent and get the line playing with greater physicality. It’s fair to say he’s not flawless.

sure but if you (not saying you specifically) want Flood fired, you haven't been paying attention for a while
