I have been wondering about the Sark/Flood issue. I believe i mentioned this in another post, but when I was cursing Flood for the horrible OL, I never thought that it could possibly be Sark requiring something different or elaborate of him for his scheme-you know, just too complicated to teach all of the "ifs and thens". This is wild speculation and I have no clue, but it is possible. They made it work at bama because The GOAT was running the show. But, for all I know, Flood may have lost his edge with all that money and clocking out at 5pm

That is definitely part of it.

I believe somebody like the Reilly or Gundy types could get way more out of Arch. Arch ended last year on a very strong note with no interceptions. Just doesn't make sense

I like this answer. ditto for me

This issue has been discussed, rinsed and repeated for two weeks now. A lot of good well thought out theories I have heard on OTF Youtube videos. The national media also following closely. I am on Arch's side at this point and don't believe it is him. The main points that I think are valid: 1: Arch has been in the system 3 1/2 years, what gives? How much time does somebody need. He isn't making good reads and holding on to the ball too long 2: The OL cannot block worth a flip-how many years has this been an issue 3: No running game-how many years has this been an issue? 4: Sark/Flood don't know how to adjust to the constant blitzing. Same crap when QE was here. Every DC looks like an All World DC with the genius of sending 6 or 7 defenders. 4a: If it is due to Sark, I would think a frustrated Flood would have a strong conversation directly with Sark by now 4b: If it is due to Flood, why is Sark holding on to the incompetence 5: Sark's offenses haven't had a good track record at Texas in spite of having to nationally rated #1 QBs and Texas resources. I don't believe Texas has cracked the top 10 in Total offense since he has been here. Can Sark really develop QBs or is it a myth? What the hell credentials does Milwee have. Nothing against Milwee-it is on Sark hiring decision. 6. Texas never has enough of a lead to allow the backup QB to get meaningful game reps. 7. Y'all can help me with the rest

It seems harder than ever to pick these games. I have no idea anymore. Let's go Miss St, beat the hell out of ou.

Never a dull moment.

I don’t know man. I am just putting my thoughts out there. ou, Tenn and Fla are flat out sending 6 on 5 or 7 on 5 every play. You and I would have a difficult time taken on 3 dudes, correct? I am not ruling out Arch’s bad decisions against ou and then not prtectinv the ball in then end yesterday, I am just not ready to put the blame on him, “yet”

I truly believe it is Sark’s play calling. I’ll give you one better, his scheme may even be the issue with Flood and the OL’s issues. It appears to me that he needs too much perfection for his scheme to work. Even superior athleticism isn’t cutting it with his scheme. Arch is already dodging defenders by the time receivers even look back. When the whole world knows blitzing will neutralize Sark, DCs have there recipe. Look at Quinn with same issues against Georgia/OSU/Washington. I am hesitant to put this mess on Arch at this point.

Problem still remains that Sark has no answer for when defenses send 6 and 7 guys after Arch. Every DC has looked like a genius against Texas and then go back to reality when they play other teams. I am assuming Sark has removed all bootlegs, TE slants and draw plays from his playbook because these aggressive defenses have not been punished for their aggressiveness. 100% on Sark

Even though Texas lost, it is always a great day when “SAS”(sorry ass sooners) lose. I don’t care one way or the other about aggy. Actually, I hope aggy beats the living hell out of the gooners.

The ST issue is so obvious.

All we have to do is protect the ball on offense and for our special teams to at least be neutral. Oh, ahem, wait a minute, scratch that.

100%. What I get tired of hearing is we had to play the top 3 defensive minds. But, we all see the issue that every DC knows how to defend Sark’s offense. Blitz and overload the front. The defenders can get to the QB before any receiver even turns back to look for the ball.

Why are y'all questioning Banks? Sark already told you to look at how Niblett made ST great last year and that is all because of Banks ST schemes. Case is closed. Do any of you feel like a child that is being distracted before getting an injection-Don't look here at what you know is happening, look over there.
