OTF Premium Stanford commit on offer watch (Sunday 9:30am CT)

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

I think this was a case with unusual circumstances where trust was overextended. Sarkisian had some off field things and needed his staff to step up. 
 

Flood was trusted and he dropped the ball in a big way. Not to mention these guys have shown minimal improvement since arriving. The Stroh and Neto thing was weird by itself. We had one class carry the load for years basically and then the chickens came home to roost. 
 

This is a long time coming imo. Sark hasn’t given the Oline the attention it’s needed from a financial standpoint perhaps but Flood did this program no favors through eval and development.

You do know that Sark is the decider on who Flood offers and prioritizes, right? Blaming Flood for his boss disappearing in the spring for 30+ days and the no one at the university being able to get ahold of him while missing a junior day for “flu” is certainly a choice.

Sark is the head coach. 

It's Sark's scheme.

It's Sark's play calls.

Sark watches every practice and game. 

Sark has say and part of the evaluation of every recruit in the program. 

He has final say on every personnel decision.

So yes. 

Last time I looked, the buck stops at the top.  HC is responsible for everything.  

Maybe having some help in the box with play calling can help/helps with keeping attention on the whole picture???

My thoughts again are that Sark trusted subordinates TOO much - this can happen in business as well - coach has had his wakeup call.

Just asking - did this have anything to do with his wife giving birth?

I think it’s fairly reasonable to suggest that an all Big 10 guy at the LG position would have made a significant difference.

Indeed. But what do you want them to do about it? He chose another school. Are you blaming them for not recruiting him or are you blaming them for not signing him?

They recruited him. They couldn’t sign him.

Those are two very different things.

@GoHorns1 Just ignore this guy. He just cannot have a discussion without insults and personal attacks.
