JustAFan11 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 In his introductory press coverage Sark was asked about the Eyes of Texas. “That’s our song, we’re going to stand and sing it proudly.” He acknowledged the climate in the country and said if players had questions or concerns he would have those discussions with them but “it’s our school song”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was all about Sark and the offense as the Crystal Ball had him going to Ohio State over Alabama. Armani was talking with Sark before the game and committed at halftime last night.

I am sure that he put on some weight but "burst of speed" is relative to the competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wants speed, speed, speed. I also don't think it's out of the question that Ewers flips back. Winfield would have never committed if Herman stayed on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'll say this. Sark's swagger and confidence in his presser is very refreshing. Much better than robo Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too but again he is paid to coach football games and not be a public speaker. Overall he did well. I noticed that Eltife and Hartzel both read from notes and were so-so in their talk. Del Conte spoke without notes and did the best out of all of them. Some people are just born with the gift of gab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearEmaGrowlin Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 In the video of Sarkisian during that coaching clinic he spoke better and without notes just explaining what was on the screen as he went, but spoke plenty without the power point too. When I give presentations I never have notes. There is usually a power point, but a lot of it is just talking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you get Sark in a room full of 100 coaches he'll do better than being in a room with 10 reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I give presentations I never have notes. There is usually a power point, but a lot of it is just talking. Same way for me. The bulk of the info in the slide deck are just pictures of what I am talking about. The few notes or bullets on the slides are for the participants to have when I give them a PDF copy of slide deck. I use basically the same slide deck for just about any presentation that I give and only change what I say during the presentation based upon the audience or what their particular interest is. Sark's knowledge is in football so naturally he can speak clearly in a coaching clinic without notes or ummms. Same for me with mining. I can speak about it without hesitation but not so eloquently in some other subjects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am in front of an audience speaking I like to move around and be a bit demonstrative. One time I had to stand behind a lectern to give a presentation. It was the worst one of my career as I was simply not comfortable standing still. I had the worst cotton-mouth ever within the first 5 minutes of talking.

I took speech online and had to have an audience of three and video it. I had trouble with um myself.

What does his salary as a head football coach have to do with how many "ums" he makes in a speech. I don't care if he speaks in pig Latin if we get back to winning conference championships and playing in the playoffs. He has also been wearing the burnt orange all of one day. Give him some time, and I'm sure his speeches will be better. Speech class - LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
