HearEmaGrowlin Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Sadly, the Longhorns desperately need the season to just end. Too many injuries, too many weak minded players. Last night was so bad early and very late. How does Schooler drop that game winning interception? Blake Gideon 2.0, but Schooler has about 35% as much talent as Gideon did.

Red90fly Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 For all you guys that have watched this poop show of a football team the past three weeks I salute you. Seriously, you guys are tough. That's 3-4 wasted hours you can't get back. This is a rock bottom dead program. Say what you want, Tom Herman may have been a buffoon and pulled some stupid game day stuff, but his teams never got blown out or got pushed around and manhandled. On the bright side, baseball is a mere three months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I’m not surprised Texas couldn’t overcome 4 turnovers. I’m not surprised Texas couldn’t stop the run again. I won’t be surprised if Texas removes PK as the defensive coordinator. After Muschamp backed out on the job, they couldn’t have chosen a worse style of defense to pair with Sarks offense. Sark isn’t getting fired, his buyout is $31 million. I don’t think he needs too honestly, with as poor as the Oline is they are what we expected them to be. Average Oline, average QB, great RB, and average WR (other than Worthy). This team is only scoring points because of the schemed up plays Sark calls. The TD throw to Brewer to tie the game is regulation or the TD throw to Washington in the overtime are perfect examples of Sark giving Casey easy reads for scores. Kwaitkowski is probably going to be finding a new job next season. His defense hasn’t put together a complete game all year. I understand he playing a walk-on at MLB, I understand he’s playing a WR at safety, and I understand that they brought in 3 DE to try and replace Ossai without much success. At this point if I were him I would just say, “I know we don’t have the personal to run my scheme but we’re going to continue to run it and learn it while we bring in my players”. I don’t think this offense and defense can coexist. Sark wants to score quickly with big plays and PK is bend but don’t break. The defense spends too much time on the field even if they dont give up a score they rarely get a 3&out. At this point I’m just rambling and trying to reasonably think of what could fix some of the issues moving forward. However I don’t get paid and CDC won’t ask me for my thoughts so I wait for baseball season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Losing to Kansas is embarrassing, but what’s really disappointing is watching the players give up on the coaches, the fans, and even each other. There’s guys that care (Worthy and Roschon for example) but there’s a majority that don’t, and that couldn’t be more obvious after the past week or two. At this point, I see some Texas fans are joining college football fans in laughing at this program. The Texas football program is at best mediocre. And I’m done pretending that they are more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Does anyone have a paper grocery bag I can borrow? My grocery store only has plastic and I’m not ready to suffocate myself and the yard bags at Home Depot are too bulky. I will return it to you in 2022. By the way, I haven’t given up on Sark. He has to get his players in the program and it is obvious this year the cupboard was bare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not the talent level of Texas players. On what planet does anyone think Texas has recruited so poorly they are less talented than Kansas? This isn't even a Sark problem entirely (although he is a big contributer.) It's a culture problem. From the highest level donor, to the AD, to the frat boy in his second year, to the t shirt fan that can't name a single player since VY...its a culture problem. Winning is not guaranteed just because of the name on the front of the jersey. Everyone associated with Texas views this as "when" Texas is back instead of "if" texas comes back. There's a sense of entitlement even in the darkest of times. Thats what's hurt this program for a decade now under multiple staffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 WETSU, I don’t think you can blame the AD. He did win the Director’s Cup last year in spite of the football team. If you wish to put blame on the alumni (including yours truly) and current students, that is fair game. It is my humble opinion last year the WOKE culture infiltrated the team and fractured it over a song. I am not sure that distraction has worked its way out of the program. I agree the talent on the field should have handled Kansas, but disagree that we have a depth of talent. Next man up is a scary proposition with this team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the talent on the field should have handled Kansas, but disagree that we have a depth of talent. Next man up is a scary proposition with this team. Depth of talent is something only a few teams have anyway. Most teams (which is why its hard to go undefeated) only have quality starters at about 75% of their team and the rest are really young guys or below average players. Thats why its so easy to scheme your way to TDs in college football and why losing a starter to injury regardless of position can be so critical to team success. Only a few teams have the depth necessary. The portal has made that even worse. But every team on the Texas schedule including OU has similar next man up concerns. Talent and/or depth concerns at Texas cannot be something that fans look at as a factor to what we have seen this year. Every team has those same concerns except bama georgia and ohio st... I also think the AD can absolutely be held accountable for this. For starters directors cups really mean very little in the grand scheme of things. Half the time its won because of the sheer number of events you compete in not always how well you do. That doesn't really mean he's a good AD IMO. He should absolutely be on the hook for not squashing the eyes of Texas thing when he had the chance, he is responsible for ultimately what I think was a poor coaching hire in Sark, and he's responsible for aligning everyone into a unified mission. I don't believe the Texas program (boosters on down recruits) is unified at the moment therefore I can't entirely say the AD is doing a good job.

None. But thats because I think they have been corrupted by a broken culture not because they aren't potentially good players. A&M recruited a lot of those guys initially. So did many others. Whether its development or culture or new staffs or whatever, these guys just haven't panned out. But thats been happening for 10 years now.

WETSU Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Like I said... You guys as fans all assume Texas will be back one day. Not if but when. These kids live in this type of thought. They hear it everyday from outside sources growing up. They hear it in the media. They hear it amongst their peers (frat boys) in everyday life on campus. Texas will not make it back until Texas (top to bottom like I said) realizes that nothing is guaranteed. Nobody cares how much money you make or how many trophies you won 40 years ago. You are mediocre now. Your program is mediocre now. And it won't get any better until everyone top to bottom buys in. You're crazy if you think a team is not influenced by the culture surrounding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The craziest story I’ve read came from Horns247. The rumor that there will be a huge exodus of players entering the portal. Story said 40 kids. Possibly. I’ve seen where teams can pick up 32 players. For each player in the portal before end of season, you pick up 1 extra qualifier up to 7 spots. You can use those extra qualifiers on high school or transfer kids. The culture change at Texas could be on a bunch of young kids to figure it out.

There’s merit to what you’re saying, but I think it’s more about the kids that have been recruited more so than the coaches. We’ll see if it’s the coaches next year as I’m hearing/reading a mass exodus is about to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
