I’d like to see KJ Lacey and Jackson Christian if everything else is largely going to remain the same.

I've landed on he is a great play designer and a bad play sequencer. His in-game adjustments leave a lot to be desired as well. I won't go as far to say 100% on him bc there's still basic stuff I see Arch miss routinely. Sark definitely shoulders more of it, IMO, bc he's the head man.

I disagree with this and Tillman re: Arch. I don't need him to be the best ever, as good as his uncles or even to win national accolades. I need him to do the simple, easy things right. He was one of the worst college football quarterbacks in the country yesterday. That's based on his play, not any expectations.

I think it's both. I lean more to Sark simply bc as the head man, the buck stops with him. That being said, I have a really hard time with what I see Arch do (or not do) on film. I tend to agree with you and how you view it.

I think Stein grew up in Kentucky and going to Kentucky games. Might be a tough pull at this point, especially how he has them rolling.

I flat out don't know @General Grant. And by all accounts, it doesn't seem like they do either. I could not tell you one way or the other what Milwee's play calling could look like. Maybe it's Sark is heavy with the script and then let Milwee call it from there which could give Sark the opportunity to focus more on situational needs? I don't know. That's why this is all so frustrating. Hell give it a shot. Everything should be on the table. Could it be worse with someone else calling it? That's where we are. In year 6.

And yet if Arch can't run the offense he's calling and we don't expect him to give up play calling during the season...if you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results...well...you know what that's the definition of.

That's the scary part. We've reached the halfway point in the season and it's gotten worse from game to game. There's not much time left to figure it out and none of these issues are new ones.

I wish I had the answers for you @Jbro52. There's got to be some type of significant shift bc what is being trotted out there is not working. Sark, IMO, is a great play designer that doesn't have many answers beyond the opening script that show continuity, easy answers and things that put his offense (and defense, for that matter) in the best position to win.

And I don't think Tillman was truly saying it NEEDS to be Flood. Just that it has to change from what it's been to this point.

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 not someone that made practice all that fun for a young defensive player still trying to figure out college ball. Off the field he was a fun-loving guy that 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 continues to be true to this day. His tweet below, while long, deserves its own thread, IMO.

I definitely agree with this. Prob my favorite overall road trip to date. I had a really great time and the Longhorn contingent that made the trip represented really well throughout the weekend.

Haha preciate you @Jordan Scruggs

Someone has to! One day I'll grow out of it @Joe Zura one day

Thought you might enjoy that @Joe Zura

Much appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Amen to that @Alex Butler

I mentioned it this morning on Coffee & Football and missed the opportunity to really land it. As we're 12 days away from the first game of the season, today marks 12 months to the day from when @Bobby Burton announced I'd be joining the OTF team as a regular contributor. Thank you for the opportunity Bobby. It's truly been a pleasure and it's been great getting to know you and everyone on the squad better. One of my best friends, Natasha Hastings, is actually the one who reminded me when she texted me last week saying "so how's it feel to be heading into year 2?" At first, I was a little confused and then it dawned on me what she was referencing. Tash is a 2x Olympic Gold medalist on the American 4x400m relay in track, holds multiple World Championship Gold medals, used to train in Austin for years and is a South Carolina Gamecock to the core. The fact that she's become a regular OTF viewer (and essentially an honorary Longhorn) is pretty wild to me, yet it speaks to what's been built here. It's hard to believe it's really been a full year already and I can't thank everyone that comments in the chats and message board threads (even you @Joe Zura 😆) enough. Yall make the OTF engine go. I've continued to learn plenty from the pros @Gerry Hamilton @Rod Babers @CJ Vogel @Jeff Howe @Hank South @Jordan Scruggs @Bob Shipley @Blake Munroe @Matthew Hutcheson, am thankful and glad I get to continue to work alongside each of you. There's not a better group in the business. Made it to my sophomore year! Let's go! (just not sure if I can handle any more Watch With Us livestreams tho 🤣)

Nah I survived yet again. And thank you for the kind words. I definitely try my best to keep up with the real professionals at OTF. 😆 Yall are crazy. I gave Stevie the rundown after and he and I had a good laugh. Ricky Brown even joined us this morning. Turning into a little boxing club of old Longhorn lettermen. 😀

Bobby's thread from Friday, May 22nd 😉

Amen.

Thanks to everyone for making this place what it is. Couldn’t be happier to be involved with OTF. 🤘🏾

Good find. Thanks for sharing. @AJJ_Sports

Not sure what to make of that. Might just want to shield Hardy from all the questions he’d get on the shooting? @Gerry Hamilton
