Too bad Mukuba had to lose, but it's always great when the Eagles lose. Hurts hugs.

Kiffin WRs have not done well in the NFL. Same reason Heupel WRs haven't. Let him go. You can get someone better in the portal.

I hope Royal flips to Florida. Anyone who thinks the Gators are the way to go deserves his fate.

Another way of looking at this is that Buster Faulkner was the hottest OC in college football two weeks ago. Now it looks like he's completely lost.

Sark beat the hell out of Stoops in prime in the 2004 title game, and he was 30 at the time.

Sark hasn't lost five in a row to the criminals, and he's certainly never been beaten 63-14 by them.

We gained more yards on the criminals than any team all season. Not even close. Arch gave them ten points and Banks gave them seven. That's what lost the game, not the offense.

When the OC/play calling thing comes up, Sark always says he was hired to call plays. That being the case, he isn't going to stop unless the people who can fire him tell him to stop. I suspect Sark wants to be a play calling head coach in the NFL one day, and that won't happen if he stops calling plays in college. That means the only option is to fire him if you don't want him to be the OC/play caller. That's clearly unreasonable at this point. Banks as special teams coordinator is a different story.

Perhaps, but the level of skill, complexity and attention to detail required for daily preparation and practice are certainly much greater in the NFL. That's certainly just as time consuming as worrying about recruiting. Having said that, people who think Saban and Kirby didn't call their own defense during their respective championship seasons are smoking something illegal. They may not have officially claimed to call the plays, but you can be your house that they did.

Saying the system sucks and is poorly coordinated is a bit strong. Special teams and Arch lost the game, not offensive coordination. You can certainly argue that many of Arch's mistakes ultimately land at Sark's feet, but that doesn't mean the "system" sucks.

This is the thing I just can't understand. The best NFL head coaches have called their own plays since the league began. Why do college fan bases think their head coach can't call plays? In fact, the best play callers in the NFL are head coaches (Shanahan, McVay, Reid, Johnson). This doesn't mean Sark is the best play caller now, but it certainly doesn't mean it can't be done.

It's 3-2 against Venables, but the two losses are mind numbing.

All true. Our problems are much less pressing than all but about half a dozen teams. Special teams, penalties and Arch's mistakes are definitely frustrating. All of these can be fixed. Play calling is not a problem.

What qualifies you to call out play calling mistakes? Have you been a high level play caller at the top of CFB? Every time Sark runs a toss of sweep that doesn't work, fans go nuts. You must have variety in the run game.

It's not a question you ask him in that setting. It's stupid. Every fan thinks they know offensive play calling. There was nothing wrong in total with the play calls. Arch screwed up and gave the criminals ten points.
