I don’t completely disagree, but my biggest highlight of what you’re saying is I don’t see Sark seeing the shortcomings. I don’t see him changing scheme. I don’t see him altering course. 
 

I honestly think that’s the foundation to be disenchanted with the whole thing. Sark believes in his system and has shown no signs it’s going to change.

 

Where’s the hope that the “see it and solve  it” we all want is even going to transpire?

Making the last 2 playoffs with an overrated roster? 

It’s this simple and it’s happened to anyone that’s ever truly invested in another human. He overly trusted flood, choice, and I’m guessing nansen with the akina hire. Losing both back end coaches eliminated continuity. I think his personal summer forced him to rely on his coaches to lift the team and they failed him. We can discuss how or why it got to this point but it’s nothing earth shattering. He trusted guys that have bled for him and it’s biting him.

He is stubborn which is the case for most highly successful people as others are always trying to chip away at people doing well. He needs a dye in the wool consigliere that knows what they’re doing. Sark can argue that he still doesn’t have the players to run his system and stay overly grounded to it.

It you’re sark, it’s probably easy to think that if I had an average but consistent oline and rb, this season shifts tremendously. The realization for him is that it’s not and those he values are the cause. What will he do?

What I don’t know is the family situation. Pieces got out that his child was in peril over the summer. If this is remotely true, all bets are rightfully off. If there was any danger of losing their child, football and all other things can become very unimportant. Not sure where he is only because of this nor should I. Otherwise, he is as competitive and invested a coach that you’ll ever find. It would make all the bluster about a game frustrating for him and I’d fully appreciate it. That’s a ton of emotional weight and life events to navigate through especially for someone in recovery. Sark is very fiery so it makes sense when reporters try to gaslight him with inane things that he gets frustrated. There’s always someone that wants to prove he can ask THE question that no one else will fully knowing sark can’t answer it. Y’all hate on a couple reporters regardless of their questions so imagine sark, lol.

If it’s child or football, zero choice. Family is always first though many seem to forget this. I’d wish him well and I would understand if the nfl having a lighter load is the route. 

If he is all in, keep him. He is walk around intelligent and not just football sharp. He’ll get it.
