Absolutely. You understand what I’m saying.

But Arch Manning is neither of those guys. While I hear your point, I'm not confident that what has been mentioned has not affected him. If it's not the receivers, did Sark completely change the scheme? Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer that either. We know Sark isnt helping him, but he didn't help him much last year it seems. All I'm saying is something is off with him... Until we know for sure, we don't know anything.

Trust me, I know. We all know. I'm just wondering if there are any contributing factors.

Makes sense.

Totally, CJ. I just wonder why he can't pull the trigger this year when there is an open look, or why it looks like he's not trusting what he's seeing, you know?

Listen, I looove our wideout group. I just wonder about Arch's confidence and comfort level with the current wideout group. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for those who are gone; I'm just wondering if this is affecting Arch. There was a point last season when Arch knew he could turn to Livingston, Mosley, and Deandre Moore, as he is sort of had a couple of possession receivers to lean on while using Wingo for deep shots and other stuff. Looking back at last season's RRR game, there are moments when Moore and Livingston would find holes in the defense or execute the scramble drill to perfection with Arch. I wonder if it's possible that having to form chemistry with Bishop (who hardly plays) and Coleman is affecting Arch's confidence? He has regressed, and there is something to it. Yes, Sark MUST be better, but he's not trusting the options he's seeing.

Clearly.

Maybe, but what is the correct take? the problem I’m seeing is everyone sees we have major issues BUT Sark. When your head coach and OC doesn’t know how to fix it, you are in trouble, and yes… the sky is falling. Sark is not okay right now. He was a little snarky at reasonable pushback.

Man, so true. Also, why is the center still starting? He has regressed mightily.

The bad thing about this film it shows hot reads for Arch to hit, he's just not getting it done. Man, Arch is not good. Dang.

And we are in bad shape at the center position (Not news to us). The Film Guy Texas OU

Yep! That part.

As a coordinator, it's time for him to take a hike. His pride and ego are taking this team down. I don't blame Eston Royal. I wouldn't come here either. Recruits see what's going on.

Same. I'm beginning to wonder, man. I don't feel good about this team with him leading the offense.

@CJ Vogel asked about the defensive pressures and adjustments, hot reads, and whether Sark is seeing enough quicks and hots and adjustments from Arch. He then gives a little word salad, then says he thinks he -(Arch) does what he's asked to do on particular plays, and that the question is vague. No, that was a weak answer to a great question. So now we know he's not seeing the field; neither is he able to audible. Even worse, Sark is NOT getting Arch and the offense out of bad looks. Sark is saying it without saying it, and will die on this hill. I'm convinced that if we do not see changes on Saturday, we are cooked with Sark. I want to see him do well, but he's doubling down and not seeing that we have a major issue here.

You are correct. The athletic director hears them too. Not saying anything happens, but Sark needs some smoke behind this.

@CJ Vogel Your post-game questions are exactly what needed to be asked. Listening to your post-game coverage now... I'm loving what you are saying. You asked Is it the offensive coordinator, or is it the QB? I'll say this... Sark's ego will KILL the potential of this team. It's YEAR 4 with Arch being in the offense, and he can't pick up reads. Change is needed. Two games with multiple three-and-outs in a row... change is needed. Its unfair to ask the o line to block 7-8 blitzers while Arch continues to not adjust the blocking or change the call.... change is needed. Offense has digressed, and defenses know what we are going to do... change is needed. We play much better out of spread concepts, but no.. Sark has to bunch up the look to make things harder on Arch, and the offense... Change is needed. That change begins with Steve Sarkisian humbling himself to either change his scheme, find a quarterback that can run his offense, or, as Ohio St did in 2024, hire an offensive coordinator. If Mack Brown is in Steve's ear, PLEASE, TELL HIM THE TRUTH!!!!

He's not taking any tonight. He's not willing to find an OC... I doubt he makes a QB change... if you call him accountable for talking about it without taking action, be my guest.

True! Absolutely true…. But what gives them a break is they kept them out the end zone other than that. Truth is, the offense doesn’t help until we are down. This is on Sark.

Sark needs to change his offensive philosophy, find an identity or hire a OC. He needs to hear this too. Like clock work, when we get down, the offense finds a way to move the ball with ease. There are moments when Texas just couldn’t move the rock because Sark called to not lose. We had them 17-7. We showed no killed instinct to PUT….THEM…..AWAY. Arch Manning’s inability to read defenses, get us out of bad looks hurt this team. I don’t blame this defense who was on the field the whole game. I wonder is he has the ability to make adjustments. If Sark wants to force his “NFL” style offense, he needs to find a quarterback that can do the easy stuff. To be fair, Arch is probably playing in the wrong offense. It’s not going to happen, but Texas needs an offensive coordinator. Steve Sarkisian needs to give it up. Everything looks so hard, even against UTSA.

Maybe you’re right. Then I hope he’s on his head about this offense. Just sayin’.

Sark seems like a coach without any accountability... How Mack Brown listened to DKR, it seems no one is in his ear, or he refuses to listen. We will not win it all until he pivots.

No. I stand on this in saying we need an offensive coordinator. We see Indiana. They won a Natty last year. They have an offense with an identity. Florida, year one... and an offense with an identity. It's not Arch; it's not our O-line... It's our OC. Time for a change. Sark needs to be pressed on this.

He is seeing the field much better than I thought. Sark put Arch in some terrible spots. The long developing routes were boneheaded on his part. Arch did miss a wide-open slant to Mosely, but other than that, he was muuuuch better than I thought. Sark simply was out-coached.

This is fair.
