    vs ND 100%. vs Ohio State next year maybe 50/50 just because it is short notice and at home. Michigan also 50/50 just because it is home and they kind of suck anyway.

    Daboer is the only name I've heard for Penn State that is an upgrade over James Franklin.

    If that's true then Texas will make the playoff field. If we are left out then big time OOC games will (and ought to be) a relic. I don't want to play at a disadvantage just for the sake of the sport and the networks. If we are going to do this all by loss column then Texas needs to play Indiana OOC schedules.

    If we're not ranked above OU and Vandy on Tuesday I'll be calling on the AD on Wednesday to ask them to cancel this game along with Michigan and ND. Everyone please join! I don't want Texas playing with one hand behind its back in the playoff race. It is idiotic. We need to play Indiana and Ole Miss style schedules like the committee wants us to.

    If Dinich is accurate on this then the committee has their heads buried deep in their asses. Oklahoma being a lock and is out is an absolute joke. I'm gonna be extremely pissed if we are left out and a single difficult OOC game remains on our future schedules. If that happens we need drop 100% of them, including the home games. ESPN can deal with the consequences of that.

    It's astonishing but that is the first media take I have seen that acknowledges how consequential this is regarding future OOC scheduling. There will not be any more big time OOC games if Texas is punished for losing to OSU on the road in their closest game of the year.

    Vandy won't make the field, but most do believe OU will, which I think is even more ridiculous.

    I think the only chance is if committee ranks us ahead of OU and ND, which they ought to do given our superior wins and head to head domination of OU. If that doesn't happen this week then we won't be in the playoff, and CDC needs to immediately cancel all difficult OOC games on future schedules.

    Don't agree at all. The same thing will happen to bubble teams in that format. You can say "don't be a bubble team" but there is a huge difference between making the playoff as a 15 seed and not making it. Imagine if the basketball committee operated this way? If the committee only cares about the loss column Texas needs to cancel all challenging OOC games immediately. It's an idiotic way to do selection for the playoffs.

    I support cancelling it if we don't make the playoff. At the end of the day have to send a message that what the committee is doing is idiotic. I'm holding out hope that it won't go down that way, though. If you look at it like they do in CBB we have a very good resume with three really strong wins.

    Would be nice if Sark did that.
  13. whereiend
    It has worked ok for us in past seasons by holy cow it is a disaster this year. And we've played 11 games, so it is what is. Not sure why Sark has throw away 10 plays a game checking to see if 12 personnel will finally work this week. Please stay in 11 vs A&M Sark.
  14. whereiend
    I believe every single time the offense stalled, it was a result of Sark trying to do 12 personnel (and in particular, slow developing play action passing out of 12). He needs to shelve this crap for good this season IMO. We absolutely shredded Arkansas when spread out in 11 personnel, but then would get behind the chains any time we tried to do 12 just because Sark can't help himself. Someone let Sark know we made it to the national championship game with a bad OL and no TEs one time. We need to run a Colt McCoy style of offense exclusively...

    I don't see why Vanderbilt or even OU would have to lose. If we beat A&M have the same conference record as them. The extra loss is because we played Ohio State on the road and they did not... We'd have 3 top 10 wins including head to heads over both of those schools. Particularly Vanderbilt would not have a case over us at all in that scenario.

    This. What sent me over the edge is seeing Sark in these press conferences be completely unable to acknowledge that anything has gone wrong. Strongly disagree with OP about Sark being the OC. OC is a full time job. Sark was a good OC 5 years ago but he has fallen behind big time. There is not enough time in the day for him to run our program and stay current as an elite OC. The results of his piss poor offense speak for themselves.
  17. whereiend
    Fair enough. In any case, someone needs to figure out where the hell our NIL budget went? How did we not have dry powder for RB and OL? We have to be smarter on the moneyball front or we aren't winning anything in this era.
  18. whereiend
    I've never said we should fire him, just that he desperately needs an OC. I also think the model of an independent personnel arm is going to be better going forward. Sark is too close to the players to make the hard NIL decisions and as a result we blew a giant budget on a mediocre team.
  19. whereiend
    Eh, Sark failed big time as a GM not upgrading OL in the portal. He then failed big time as an OC not deploying an offensive style that can survive with subpar OL play. He frankly failed as a HC in putting so much faith in Kyle Flood. Why is he failing at so many different aspects of his job? I think it's simply that he is one man (and likely one man with a stressful personal life) and he doesn't have enough time and energy to do three full time jobs. It's not excusable to take on too much work and then fail to deliver. He needs to do a better job of delegating responsibility. (Or CDC needs to do it for him).
  20. whereiend
    I like Sark and I don't want him gone as our coach. I just think he can't be championship level HC, OC, and GM at the same time. At the absolute minimum he needs and OC, and I'd prefer an independent personnel department as well.
  21. whereiend
    It's the portal era, though. Throwing away a season with an inexperienced QB and OL is mismanagement. As Gerry often says there is no longer an excuse for being young.
  22. whereiend
    I'm a massive fan of Sark as a pre-portal/NIL coach. But I think his model is outdated and isn't going to win championships going forward. Roster management in the portal era is a full time job. Coordinating an offense and staying at the top of the game is a full time job. Being a head coach is a full time job. Sark isn't Superman and can't do all of these at an elite level. As long as he tries we will be second place to the programs that do a better job of delegating responsibility.
  23. whereiend
    😂 I want it to be so believe me. But the track record shows that this guy can't do all three of these jobs at the level we need.
  24. whereiend
    Dan Mullen is a good idea honestly. I didn't even think of that. I would totally do Dan Mullen combined with someone running a professional style personnel department. HC being in charge of both is a bad model.
  25. whereiend
    He has the GM title but everyone knows Sark is the real GM, in the professional sports sense of that word. My key point is that someone has to do the job of deciding exactly how much NIL should be spent on Deandre Moore (as a random example) as opposed to going out and getting someone from the portal. It's obviously Sark doing this right now. This is an incredibly important role in the NIL era, and it's a lot of work. Doing this, being the head coach, and also coordinating the offense is absurd. It's no surprise that we look bad on all three of those fronts.
