Sark ain't it.

At this point how many years does he get? 2 or 3 more?

lol how are we supposed to know if he ain't it being game #8?

He has made his fair share of mistakes, but nothing tells me he isn't the right guy long term for this program. He does need to jump in the portal and piece together a decent OL. From my vantage point, we are overachieving offensively. We only have 1 OL (Angilou) ranked in the conference top 20 OL players. Baylor had 5 players.

I love Xavier Worthy, hate the depth chart at WR behind him. Whittington was having a good season til he got hurt (again), Moore had probably the worst game of his career yesterday, and Marcus Washington still hasn't put it all together. I wouldn't be surprised if they had one more legit threat at WR this team would only have at most 2 losses at this point.

Only thing i've really been really disappointed with is the defense. I thought PK was a star and maybe he needs another off season and hopefully an upgrade of talent. But he doesn't seem to make many adjustments. Guess it's hard when you don't have any DE/OLBs that can generate consistent pressure or a pair of underwhelming starting LBs (one which was a walk-on). I don't even want to get in depth about the safeties.

But hell man this is year one and (knock on wood) he still hasn't had a WTF loss. I thought it might have been Arkansas but they are pretty decent, especially when healthy.

Still have a long way to go but if they can keep the DL guys committed as of now, and be able to buy a CB. Future is still bright.

I thought yall have talent? Surely Texas has equal talent to OU. 4 losses already? Either Sark isn't the guy or your talent is overrated.
 
To me, it looks like Texas has a conditioning issue.
When they are fresh, they look like a pretty good team.

Match a lack of conditioning with some questionable 2nd half decisions, and POOF, here we are.

all of that can be fixed.

You know what's a good sign that there is some deficiencies? They grabbed like 4 LBs/DEs from the portal and they still struggle badly. They can't generate any consistent pressure unless they blitz.

Tom brought in a lot of higher ranked WRs but they were all of the same mold, tall, athletic, but slow. I don't even think he offered Worthy, just don't have the roster right now. But that doesn't give any excuse on why they didn't close out the last three weeks of games.

OL is even worse imo.. and I don't understand, these guys were decently ranked (low 4 star, solid 3 stars). Kyle Flood has skins on the wall so I'm not sure if it's all on him, at some point I think the players have to be accountable

So I get the frustrations, but trying to bail out on Sark only 8 games into the season is dumb. My hope is that by the start of the '22 season, the OL can atleast be decent.. because it's bad right now yet they still are able to put up points. If they can be atleast decent, there's open WRs when the def brings extra defenders like baylor did yesterday... and if the WR can actually make a play/hold on to the ball

i was thinking some of that.. but the OL has been fresh the second half of games but fail to get any push.. they miss assignments/completely whiff on their blocks. I get the conditioning on defense especially vs ou and okie st. They were left out to dry in those 2nd halfs.. but I will say they held up longer vs okie st til the 4th quarter.

Can we please have that transfer OT (Morris) who isn't starting for y'all..he could start here immediately :(

Texas ranked among worst college football teams in developing recruits

Texas ranked among worst college football teams in developing recruits​

Oklahoma ranked among worst college football teams in developing recruits.....

from the article

Who did the least with the most?​

Based on all the numbers, a few schools stand out with low grades.

Florida State is in the bottom five statistically for every single category. The Seminoles had the third worst draft percentage, all-conference and all-American players, and were No. 4 in the percentage of transfers it has seen from its ESPN 300 prospects.

It's no surprise given the product on the field, but it does present a picture of the struggles in Tallahassee and why Mike Norvell was brought in.

Tennessee ranks in the bottom five for each category except for the number of transfers or dismissals, where the Vols had the third-best percentage, indicating players weren't leaving as much as other places. The problem is they weren't being developed into the top players in college football, which is what we're trying to measure here.

Oklahoma, surprisingly, is in the bottom five for each category except for All-Americans, where the Sooners had one of their 18 signees become an All-American. Their high transfer total is a big reason they ranked so low in other categories. After all, teams can't get production out of players who aren't on the team.

It should also be noted that seven of the 13 players who left were defensive recruits, which is another partial explanation for Oklahoma's defensive performance the past few seasons.

Texas is also in the bottom five for each category but one. Similar to Oklahoma, the only category the Longhorns are not in the bottom five is All-Americans, where Texas had one of its 26 eligible players selected as a consensus All-American.


Texas was fifth worst for drafted players (six), fifth worst for first-team all-conference players (three) and third worst for number of players to transfer or leave the program (16). Of those 16 players, nine came from the 2016 class, five of which were defensive recruits.

These numbers don't tell the whole story, but they do help show which schools are landing ESPN 300 recruits but not capitalizing on the potential from those prospects, and just how hard it really is to build a team.

Stars matter and rankings matter when it comes to predicting talent on teams, but evaluations need to be right with how players fit in the locker room, how they can be developed and ultimately what they can do for that team.

Coaches can't just go out and land every top-ranked prospect in the class and expect that to be enough. Building a team and managing a roster requires a lot more than just signing star players, and that shows with these numbers.
