Yea I hope you are correct. This is the obvious move IMO. I choose to believe that Sark's narcissism is not so extreme that be will insist on being his own OC yet again. If I am wrong about that, then just fire the guy, because he isn't going to get us where we want to be.

Again, I don't see this as "forced". It is incredibly obvious that it needs to happen. If Sark looks at the last two seasons and thinks what he is doing on offense is working, then the narcissism and delusion is even worse than I thought. IMO the two paths are 1.) Sark sees what all of us do and makes the obvious move to bring in a new vision offensively or 2.) Sark shows he is unfit to lead the program and we eat the $30-$50M just like A&M, Penn State, LSU, and FSU all have done. I'm not suggesting we have Sark coaching with an offensive coordinator he doesn't want. If Sark is that much of a child then he just needs to get fired instead.

You think the people funding the program want more of Sark's offense? I'm just saying that outside of a miracle where this mediocre team wins out, there is zero chance that the decision makers sign up for more of the same on offense next year. In my opinion If Sark is back at all (not a given), it will be with an OC.

I think that Sark and Herman both have this issue that their offense is too mediocre to ever get separation and blow people out. With Strong we were just hoping to win the damn game, let alone blow someone out. Back in the Mack days when our offense could score 40 points regularly we didn't have this problem and the backups played plenty. The main flaw with Mack is that he'd put in the backup QB but never let him throw the ball. So at that particular position we didn't get any meaningful experience.

Yea I mean an "ultimatum" is not required here. You say look Sark, you being your own OC is obviously not working. It's time to bring in the offensive version of Muschamp and step back into purely head coaching role. If Sark still can't see this very obvious picture after what has taken place this season, then we don't want this guy in charge of our program and need to eat the buyout. This should not require any significant convincing.

If he really believes that it's just asinine logic. I do think there is like a ~50% chance we just fire him and eat the buyout. And if he actually thinks what you and Hank are saying then that is probably exactly what goes down. But again, short of some kind of miracle run to finish the year, I'll be absolutely shocked if Sark is his own OC again in 2027. It will be either a new HC or new OC IMO.

I don't get when you think we should have put him in? The score was 24-3 with 10 minutes left in the game. That would be insane to put Lacey in there. Then we scored and it was 31-3. After that Lacey came in.... To get to backups earlier we have to blow the other team out. That just didn't happen until the middle of Q4.

Sark as an OC is like Manny Diaz was when he was at Texas. The "play calls" might be good on paper but they are also absolutely delusional. The team has clearly demonstrated it cannot execute Sark's preferred offensive scheme for multiple years now. You can't call a play that we fail to execute 80% of the time and then act shocked when we screw it up yet again. You are right about a 24/7 OC, but we also need a new scheme that is easier for college players to execute. This scheme just plain sucks. Then it is poorly coached on top of that lol.

Agreed. He got a mulligan for 2025. After 2026 there is absolutely no way he is allowed to come back and stink up DKR with his offense again in 2027. If he is back at all there will be a coordinator hire for sure.

I definitely don't believe that. Sark had goodwill from two semifinal appearances and he got a mulligan for last year. Short of this team somehow winning out and making a run in the playoffs (😂🤣😂🤣😂) there is not going to be another mulligan.

I don't doubt this might be Sark's preference but there is absolutely no chance the AD and boosters funding the NIL operation will accept this. If Sark is back it will be with an actual offensive coordinator being hired.

That's ridiculous dude. There is very little chance Sark is the play caller next year. You have to be kidding me if you think CDC and those funding our NIL operation are going to sign up for another year of Sark's horrible coordination of the offense. If Sark keeps his job (fairly big if given we likely lose at least two more games), there will be a coordinator hired for sure.

What I don't understand from that game is that simulation by a defensive line is supposed to be be a penalty. Even the "legit" false start calls involved the Ole Miss DL simulating the snap. The TV crew claimed that it is legal as long as they don't jump over the line of scrimmage, but I don't think that is accurate. Those should have been delay of game on the defense.

I think that is true even at 9-3. Only winning out keeps the Sark as OC show IMO.

If we go 8-4 I expect Sark gets canned. At that point Arch might stay but it is a huge question mark.
