Depends on A&M as well. If A&M also only has one loss, then it is a three way tie. In that case, Florida is a common opponent and Georgia is not, which makes us be eliminated.

WTF Sark is actually spreading the field and throwing quick passes with a mediocre OL. Who could have possibly predicted that this might be better than 12 personnel tight formations?? Let's follow the game plan that almost won us a national title with mediocre OL play during the Colt era.

Any hope that these rumours could be true and offensive genius Sark will be off our hands for zero buyout?

Sark has a massive Jimbo-esque guaranteed contract from UT. Would be idiotic for an NFL team to match that IMO. So are we saying Sark is going to take a pay cut and or risk tens of millions to go pro? I don't see how it makes sense on that level. Honestly I don't think it's the worst for UT to get out of his contract at this point. Not smart to do these deals in the NIL era.

The projection systems like FPI and SP+ still have us rating fairly highly, and I think Vegas reflects that. But, I don't think this is "we've been better than it looks", it's just that these systems have a ton of preseason input in the form of previous seasons and recruiting rankings. Basically they are saying "Texas can't actually be this bad, right?". Unfortunately I think we just may be..

Yes, I mean that is how 90% of the NFL does it for a number of reasons. Not saying I'd want Nagy specifically.

Oh I know, Sark is the one in charge. The point is that we need a GM over Sark making the decisions. Sark lost his right to make these decisions with this disastrous roster IMO.

? I'm saying we need to professionalize the personnel department. Our management of our NIL budget was an absolute disaster this season. Do you disagree? Brandon Harris might be fine at whatever his pre-NIL recruiting job was. He is nowhere near qualified to manage a $40M professional football roster, which is what we are. Neither should Sark be doing this job while also coaching and coordinating the offense

I don't know what Brandon Harris even does. I'm sure he is good at a certain role. But we need someone independent of the coaching staff making the personnel decisions like almost every NFL team does. I don't think Brandon Harris is qualified for that role.

Sark not only needs an OC, he also needs a real GM. I'm not saying Sark should be fired but we 100% made a mistake giving him a fully guaranteed Jimbo contract.

Duplicate post..

Edit: This UI always makes me make duplicate posts..

Yea that one was a great throw but a bad decision to be honest. He easily had the first down with his legs and probably gets even more than the pass ended up getting. And that was an extremely difficult and dangerous pass across his body to the middle of the field!

Sark and Arch collectively have to figure out a way to get the ball out faster. That we are top 5 in time before throwing the ball was eye opening, given the perceived struggles in pass protection. But, the OL is one of the worst in the SEC and RBs are JAGs. We'll need to win with defense so that side of the ball needs to show up going forward. I was so disappointed in the defense against Florida.

Definitely possible Sark overcorrected on this front but the bigger problem is that we just have bad roster management, blowing a giant budget on mediocre players. Need to professionalize in that aspect of the program. OU and Texas Tech have the right model here, painful as it is to say.
