He was pretty good as OC at Bama. He had a few head scratchers but for the most part he was pretty good. The 2020 team was loaded on offense though. It would have been hard to screw up with all the talent that team had on offense.

Orgeron's headset wasn't plugged in all season, but he had the sense to surround himself with good coaches and let them do their job-

He was great at BAMA 2019 & 2020. Perhaps Texas just doesn’t have the dudes.

I think it was 2019 that Sark called a pass from the 2 or 3 yard line against Auburn that may go down as the dumbest play call of all time.

Hc and oc is too much for this arrogant prick. He’s the only one that doesn’t see that, unfortunately

I think head coaches who were once great coordinators could win national titles running one side of the ball if they had to. Obviously it’s ideal to have two great coordinators, but dang. These guys have literally nothing but time and focus. They don’t have to teach science class or change the oil in the car or anything else. They have more than enough money to throw at everyday issues. The wife can handle nearly everything and they don’t even have to know about it. The wife also isn’t going to nag you about working all the time because she likes being on an eight figure gravy train. You have a team of GA’s and analysts to break down film for you.

Ideal? No. Possible? Yes.

Finebaum has been dropping hints that Sark is back in the bottle. Sincerely hope that’s not the case.

We talking about the ball that bounced off of Najee Harris 60 pound butt cheek?

Yeah I am hearing similar. I want him gone but not like that. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Backup QB at the voodoo palace. Think he threw another pick six or INT that day.

Sark won the same number of CFPNC as Kiffin as OC at BAMA. They both came up short, shitass Kiffin shorter.

Mac Jones actually came in and played pretty well after Tua was injured that year. That one pass though was awful. Seems like Bama had ran the ball pretty well that game if I remember right. It was a terrible call anyway.

Buddy, I don’t enjoy passing the ball with two yards to go. Don’t understand shotgun formation with a yard to gain on 3rd or 4th down either.

This is “modern” football though. It’s become a finesse game everywhere beyond the LOS.

Pete Carroll was indeed HC and the D coordinator at USC...

Norm Chow was the Offensive Coordinator then Sark/Kiffin as the two headed monster with USC's 2005 offense, then just Sark.

Yeah playing shotgun on the goal is stupid. Being physical up front and getting a hat on a hat and pounding it in is becoming a lost art. The Philadelphia Eagles has it figured out.
