My bad. I've never seen him chewing out the OL after their lousy play, so I assumed he was in the booth. Thanks!

Thank God. The way he banged those unprotected kne,es into turf I was workneecapbroke a kap or boa bone bruised it. I didn't see him roll his ankle over, so I was looking elsewherhave e. It must happened when they piled on, top of him and you couldn't see it. Hopefully it's not serious.

4 hours ago, Marcus Myers said: I have a TON of respect for Tillman Holloway. My redshirt freshman year as a linebacker at Texas was Tillman's senior year. On the field, he was an animal and made practice fun for a young defensive player still trying to figure out college ball. Off the field, he was a fun-loving guy who always had some silly antics in the locker room and, at the same time, some thought-provoking words he'd speak. The latter part of that statement still holds true to this day. His tweet below, while long, deserves its own thread, IMO.  Unfortunately, if we don't change the OL or make the OL coach come to the sidelines out of the booth to start chewing some OL derriere, and change the person playing QB, it doesn't matter who's calling the plays.

Simmons knees hit that turf hard with no knee protection. I think he has a bruised, dislocated, or broken knee cap.

Why do we even recruit Tight Ends?

Elko, because that's what Aggy does. Texas waits until the dumpster is melted before we make a change.

Texas really needs to fall out of the top 25. Ole Miss might score 30+ on this team and I don't think this offense can answer.

Does anyone think we are going anywhere with Sark? Texas needs a CEO and not an OC. Has he made one right decision since he's been here?

I'm afraid you might be right. He's got blinking lights all over his Christmas tree and he can see them, let alone find the bag actors and change them.

Can this tired defense stop them? We haven't yet since the 2nd quarter.

I said it last year when Sark fired PK that he was scapegoating his own inadeqacies. How much do we owe Sark?

Thanks, I've never heard of him. I agree about Banks and Flood, and I would throw Milwee in there as well. Sark needs new blood on that side of the ball. I would start with the best OC/QB-coach I could find, and then together I would hire a new OL, TE, and ST coaches.

Who was Joe DeCamillis? Also, how much of an effect can analysts really have on a team? Don't you think the position coaches and the head coach have more influence on the team than analysts do? Isn't the main problem Banks and Sark's refusal to hold his coaching friends accountable for their position players? I've been watching the Saban series, and one thing I've learned about his famous "process" is that he held everyone responsible for everything, from the players to the equipment boys. He was friendly, but he didn't make friends. He held everyone accountable, not for the final score, but for how they accomplished each task and each play, in and out of the game. The sloppiness and lack of awareness on this team would have driven him nuts. This is ultimately on Sark, don't you think? Sark likes to talk about "culture," but that is a macro term. When you aim too wide, you miss wide; you miss the failed micro steps that led to the miss. That reminds me of the line Mel Gibson says to his sons in the movie "The Patriot": "aim small; miss small!" I think that goes back to Saban's "process," where you take accountability and responsibility for every small detail in your program, and you demand that same responsibility and accountability from everyone on your staff and on your team. I don't think we are getting that from Sark, and maybe not from CDC, since he isn't holding Sark accountable.

Does he play defense and special teams? Does it really matter?
