Steve Sarkisian, for intents and purposes, is the CEO of a multi million dollar company. At no multi million dollar company is the CEO also the VP of Operations or Sales or Development, etc. I don’t understand why is so averse to just being the CEO. When you factor in recruiting, NIL, transfer portal, etc it is impossible to be highly successful the way Sark is trying to do it. That is not a knock on him as a coach. It’s just the reality. The knock on him is that he is too stupid to realize it or too stubborn to adjust. If the fall comes for Sark at Texas, this will be why.

Because he was hired for his offensive play calling.

How do you know that? Has CDC ever explicitly said that he hired Sark to be the head coach for Texas football because of his offensive playcalling?

Some CEOs just like the control of day-to-day operations

CEO’s inherently have control over operations and there is nothing wrong with understanding the details but an effective CEO cannot live in the weeds on multiple things.

Why can’t you see the issue is the QB sucks.

Who coaches the QB, puts together the game plan for him and decides which QB plays? I’ve been saying Sark needed to give up play calling duties long before Arch was the starter at Texas. It’s too much on one plate and keeps him from focusing on his job which is making sure the whole team is ready to play every week and managing the game. He can’t do those things with his head buried in the play sheet.

I saw a lede on a story recently that said "Steve Sarkisian the OC is going to get Steve Sarkisian the HC fired." If no changes are made, and the same results keep happening? The story will be absolutely right.

This is part of it. Another part is his refusal to hold his incompetent buddies on his staff accountable. One might say his failure to institute collective accountability among his players is another. (How he came away learning nothing about that from Saban truly blows my mind.)

Its also easy to forget that this same OC/HC took us to the CFP 2 yrs in a row, won a big12 title and was a crappy kicker away from an SEC title. That the offense is inept under Arch we need to consider that we've seen 3 starting qbs with Sark and only 1 is playing awful football. That makes the problem Archs lack of execution.

When was the last time a HC calling EITHER offense or defense won a natl championship? It's been decades. Coincidence?

Even if he does this, I don’t think he has it in him to move on from Flood, Banks, Milwee …

The fall has come. The team has been in steady decline for two seasons.

HC is the COO, or VP of operations. The school President + AD is the CEO, reporting to a BOR

That is exactly right He is diluting his efforts as play caller and as CEO, rendering him ineffective in both positions He is holding on to the play calling as an insurance policy, in the event people figure out he is a fraud

This is on CDC. History has not been kind to HC calling plays. He knew that 6 years ago.

The only reason anyone would is to take "credit" for plans after. In my opinion he wants to be seen as an offensive guru to take an NFL job.

CDC needs to tell him he can be HC or OC but not both.
