I didn't know my wife was on here?!  

Let me make sure I have this right dear...you just said the Sark regime has peaked and already in decline...Ag and raider are gonna stomp us, then tell me to calm down because I am being reasonable about a loss in the Swamp...what's for dinner sweetie?

I’m trying to see what your point is, is your wife a Texas Exes? Or is it supposed to be an insult and your saying something negative about your wife 🤷🏽‍♂️?

Nevertheless I’ll try to break it down Barney style for you.

My point is questioning the head coach after his team under performs is valid.

Also the AD has a track record of moving on from coaches that had success but couldn’t win a championship. Basketball and Baseball for reference.

Let’s be honest, making the playoff last year doesn’t excuse disappearing against top-tier programs in Year 5. Down 14-0 with 4 minutes left vs Ohio State, and Texas only scores because the opponent goes into prevent? That’s not competitive, that’s failing when it matters.

Yes, the OL and DL have issues, and Arch is a third year QB, not “young” at all. With NIL advantages, portal access, and top ranked recruiting classes, there are no excuses for rolling food out on the offensive line or racking up penalties.

“Playing in the Horseshoe and the Swamp” doesn’t justify looking unprepared and undisciplined. This isn’t about throwing in the towel, it’s about holding the program accountable. Right now, Sark’s program is trending in the wrong direction, and the responsibility falls squarely on the head coach.

The only two Power 5 opponents Texas has played this year? Totally unprepared, manhandled, and one of those was a 1-3 Florida team coached by Billy Napier with a QB on one leg. That’s on Sark.

OSU defense is without question the best in the country with an NFL top tier D coord who was in his first game, and it was not prevent, Livingstone made a helluva catch in a one on one.  

Arch is young and will continue to make mistakes this year-and fewer next year just like Ewers did, but he'll also make great plays like he did yesterday.  That was a beautiful TD pass to Wingo.  He got hammered all day, he wasn't the reason we lost the game.  

I agree with you, the coaches and the LOS are the reason for the loss and they should be held accountable, lets see what happens going forward just remember last year OSU missed their conference championship game and Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois, they ended the season in a good spot...

you didn't question the head coach (and we should), you said we're in decline.  That's a big difference Barney...

RT and Sark are 2 very different situations.  RT inherited a helluva roster, Sark built his.  CDC will pull the trigger when necessary for any coach, he's not like you or my wife and make irrational emotional decisions so calm down sweetheart.

Agreed 100%. Del Conte needs to make this happen no matter what it takes. Flood is great at teaching pass pro blocking but he can't cultivate a nasty disposition to run the ball. Hire Sam as an analyst ASAP. And it's time to start spending Texas Tech type money on the offensive line.

Goes back to my theory he has too many irons in the fire.  I know he makes $10 million+ a year, but at some point, you have to delegate all that.

Exactly. He’s trying to be the head coach, OC, QB coach, and culture cop all at once. When you do everything, you end up doing nothing great.

He makes $10M+ a year, the job is to lead and delegate, not micromanage every detail. Great coaches empower their staff.

Player development needs to improve and overall offensive coaching needs to change.

 

Sark needs to hire an OC, if not he’ll be an OC again in a few years.

 

If the suggestion is to hire an OC, there are plenty of examples of it not working, see Petrino 2x recently with Jimbo and Pittman, or what's happening with James Franklin.  Day renting Chip for last year seems like the big outlier.  

Regardless, Sark doesn't need delegation to see the OL problem in the offseason. That is mystifying.

A new OL coach would offer a spark with a portal overhaul, along with a scheme adjustment by Sark to lower difficulty level when key players are young.  Sark's loyalty and adaptability will be tested.

Calm down I’m a Texas Exes and I support more than just sports when it comes to the University of Texas!

Yesterday went down to the wire because of questionable time management by the Florida HC. Was playing an unranked Florida team close the goal yesterday? They looked unprepared and played undisciplined, that is on the coaches.

CDC fired the head basketball coach a year after making it to the final four. Texas doesn’t consider itself a basketball ball school, yet he felt like he needed to make a change because of the trajectory of the program and expectations.

If Texas has expectations of winning a championship in football, then questioning whether the head coach is the guy after losing to an unranked Florida team that lost to South Florida at home is valid in my opinion.

 

 

If 20+ years has shown anything, other than Ohio State, a HC firing leads to wandering in the desert for years or decades. It is the last resort after the last resort.
