Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Playoff contention should be in the table NOW)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Seems he'll get five years to right the ship. If that's the case, I'll accept slow building progress. I want a B12 championship this season, and a playoff birth. I just don't see it happening.
I’m much higher on our defense than you Ketch. Secondary is stacked with many guys who got significant playtime last year, as well as new players from the portal. Same goes for DL, yet the depth in that group is unproven. LB group has the best defender in the big 12, Hill, who’s a blue chip guy that should have a similar freshman season that Perkins had last year at LSU.
I don't think we disagree on what they have. It's what they don't have that has me slightly coolish.
Sark is on the clock. Big 12 Champs or Bust. He has been unimpressive so far. The QB Play over the next 3 years is the key. That’s his wheelhouse. Popcorn Time.
@Ketchum I love your blue chip data, and data in general.
Maybe I missed it, but do you have any data on the championship runners up?
It might be interesting to compare how big the gap has become, with Bama and Georgia running with 20+ blue chips.
Or what's the lowest number of blue chips to make the playoffs?

That is not improvement. The same regular season record and winning a shitty bowl game is terrible in year 3. 10 wins should be the minimum expectations.
almost impossible for me to calculate. Those teams were pre-Rivals.
Going from 0 wins to 1 win is also season over season improvement. That's a very low bar.
5 - 8 - 11, I'll take that.
5-8-9...fail.
I’m a sark fan and tend to agree. We need to win 10 games this year, bowl game included.
I'm thinking Cinci in 2021 and TCU last year were easily the lowest to make it. Then prolly ND and Michigan.
The Cam Newtons were the lowest to win it all, and they beat another low number team in Oregon (I'm guessing).
I would also add the offensive line and qb rooms that sark inherited were a mess. He has absolutely improved those rooms and I’m not sure what else he could’ve done differently.
Great quarterback play is the tide that lifts all boats.
Quarterback room wasn't that big of a mess. He just didn't develop what he had. That's on him.
Card looked a hell of a lot better last year than his first year. Casey left after a year in which he had a 158 rating with a broken hand. I have to disagree with “Sark didn’t develop what he had”
I realize Sark moved on by bringing in Ewers but would you have not done the same thing?
He quit on Card after 6 quarters. Of course, Card looked better with more game time.
The bottom line is that his position of excellence is at the quarterback position and it's been a failure for two years. That's why this team is 13-12.
Well he’s got his guys now…I don’t disagree and I think if Quinn plays well this year (develops) the sky is the limit for this team
Because Texas doesn't want to be a 3-and-out coaching carrousel that's been since Mack.
Its rational. People here want Urban or Saban level performance, and Sark is neither.
While I agree with you that it felt like he bailed too early on card… as you said, sark is the qb expert. It’s his thing. At the end of the day he didn’t really trust card or Thompson to be the guy. The expert decided the room didn’t have what he wanted.
If that’s what the expert believed then your point about development is moot.
Let's just hope he's an expert here and this convo becomes moot in a matter of months.\
