Getting 2019 Vibes

[Holy Cow]

Herman was coming off a big season with a bowl win over Georgia and then just totally under performs the next year and then goess off the trails.  I think Sark is potentially at a crossroads moment.  He needs to make staff changes, either give some authority to Brandon Harris or hire somebody he can, and hire a OC so he can focus on being head coach.  We've all seen these moments on the past with head coaches.  Mack did after 2003.  I guess we'll know in the two months whether Sark can do it.

No.  I want a fundamental recognition of weaknesses and changes to address them.  I'm not advocating that he fire anyone.  But he can't sit back and continue to the status quo.  He's hit a ceiling.  He needs to be not ruthless like Saban, Kirby, and evidently not like Day and be willing to change.

Yep. The willingness to change is the key!

Think the biggest thing is he has to be ruthless on himself ... going to take digging deep and understanding what he has to change to ascend in the SEC and get over the hump.

Saban adapted when he needed to and/or was forced to do so.

It seemed like that’s what was the plan in the offseason but it backfired somehow, it’s gonna be a interesting offseason

Time to leave the game and take care of his health? Who do we bring in next? Kelly?

Mack did the same thing after the loss to Bama in the national championship game. He made fundamental changes. Coaches make changes, but not all changes work. Sometimes you have to accept defeat and move on.

Mensa did not have the portal to fix the team’s flaws. That said sark obviously needs to change some things. Culture needs to include being accountable for dumb penalties that hurt your team.

If he doesn’t become more of a vocal leader on game day and during practice it’s all for not. Players shouldn’t be the one calling team together mid game.

Looking at Saban’s changes he made isn’t a smart thing to do. Saban, to the core, was always the same high demanding physical type coach. The changes he made were offensive philosophy, not the mental coaching side change that Sark MUST change.

Mensa was also an arrogant self absorbed a$$ who didn’t respect himself let alone Texas.

Only difference between Herman and Sark is that Sark is more personable. Everyone and their mother hated Herman around the program.

Reinstate the spring game and find out who wants to win.
