I'm saying that he's at a top 5 program and surrounded by elite talent where he is. I wouldn't leave that to come to this version of Texas.
His body language on the sideline could definitely be better.
Glamour programs tend to not have open paths particularly at QB. It’s how they remain glamourous. Stroud, right now, easily projects to be gone after next season. Ewers stays patient and he is in prime position to battle to replace him in spring ,23
DeNiro is a veteran high dollar cat burglar. Brando finds him the jobs. Norton is an up and coming heist guy.
With this in mind, how would you prioritize needs for the off-season? Specifically when you think about trying to find immediate help via impact players from the transfer portal? As much as we need OL help, it is the LB ranks and DB room that scare me to death. We lose 3/4 starting LB and all of our DBs from a defense that has under performed. And, we clearly need a plus QB, quality WR depth, an edge rusher, etc. It will put a lot of pressure on the limited transfer slots, particularly when you consider how little of an impact transfers have historically had on the starting lineup.
On a soon to be 4-8 team, with the worst defense in Texas history. Perhaps, the coach’s player analysis is part of the problem.

Would be interesting but I'm afraid oil and water would mix better. They seem to be polar opposites.
- Amen to the changing narrative of this season. Hearing an administrator saying there's no talent on the team to excuse the Kansas loss won't help unify a fractured locker room.
- It is time for Overshown to get healthy and focus on the NFL draft. I think Foster, Jamison, and Dicker are day three picks.
- You never know how much you miss the Texas Bowl until it's gone.
- The 2022 class is intact. The big issue will be the 2023 class. I am not sure how you convince elite players to join a 4-8 or 5-7 team when they have so many other appealing paths.
- Mike Gundy is living proof that coaching matters. He is one of the most underrated coaches in the country.
- You and I are in that group of teams fighting for the sixth seed. I feel like my team will get my hopes up and let me down in the final week.

I appreciate your discussion in the thread.
Couple of observations, this is a Larry MacDuff moment on PK. He clearly hasn’t worked out. One thing that Sark needs to understand is the Texas fan base is more engaged than most. There are at least 4 major websites that analyse the team giving most fans informed opinions. Couple that with the amount of HS coach’s and former players, and he can’t hide bad schemes, and poor player development. Everyone saw the constant deployments of two high safeties on short yardage, couple that with defensive player regression, and if Sark thinks the status quo on Defense gets him a year 3, he’s mistaken. He needs a Muschamp personality to take charge of that side of the ball. Finally, a coordinator’s inability to communicate what a position coach needs to be synced with the scheme is a huge red flag. All of the excuses and problems with the defense are just obfuscation of the underlying problem with the scheme and leader.
I think Card has a chance with a decent OL in front of him.
In watching the Cowboys game yesterday, Dak Prescott looked like a mere mortal as he was being hurried/harrassed/sacked because of the OL. (No Tyron Smith)
No offense will work without a decent OL.
Worst case scenario…Sark is let go next year…will entering the SEC appeal to more coaches than if we had stayed in the Big 12?? Like an Urban Meyer type???
Does Herman get any blame for these guys not being developed or is this entirely on Sark?
1 QB, 1 WR, 3 OL, 2 edge, 1 LB and 2 DB
The '22 class will be impacted in that it will close with a whimper instead of a bang given how the season has gone. But yes, the '23 class is quickly steaming towards mediocrity.
Gary Patterson hasn't spent the better part of the last decade owning Texas as their daddy and folks think he's going to come in as an analyst or something just sounds myopic to me.
There's absolutely no reason for him to slum it.
How they game-plan the 2023 class will be everything. They can't afford to live in the clouds.
I've caught a month of bad beats. I went from being on the verge of clinching a win last night to seeing my opponent his 3 7s on the slot machine with the pass from Herbert to Williamsn.
I'm on life support.
To restate a parable: It is more difficult for Johnny Heisman to find the End Zone than to create his own hole in the line of scrimmage.
And the corollary is: Big, strong, fast DLmen can put a QB on his butt better than small, weak, slow ones.
Amen Brother and pass the ammunition....
