Just like the team has to do some introspection and be honest with how they did for the whole season and what they need to work on. We as fans need to do the same thing. I saw too many fans this season way to quick to jump ship and start bashing players, asking for coaches to be fired (Including Sark), and just being negative nellies. We are all frustrated by how the season went, nobody more so than the players and coaches, but we also need to realize that our actions matter. The team sees this stuff, hears this stuff and it doesn't help anything. At the end of the day, the team has a job to go out there and produce, but we also have a job to support them and help them. We need to give them reasons to keep that Texas Fight going.
I'm not saying to be pom pom rah rah. You can be critical without being mean spirited. People were commenting like the coaches are out here just letting the players do whatever they want, and the players aren't working their asses off to be better. Almost every coach on our staff has skins on the wall to show why they belong here. They have shown us the past 5 seasons they can do the job, i doubt they woke up one morning and just decided to stop coaching up the players.
This is a community and we parents of the players that see how we are acting. I would ask that people really think about how they would want to see others talking about their kids. Would you even accept your own family bashing your kids the way that people bash on here? We are Texas! Not only should Texas teams set the standard for their performance, but we need set the standard for our support.
Love all of the people in OTF and what everyone brings to the conversations! Let's bring the fire for 2026!
