“I was tired of being the top passing offense in the nation and not having a lot of championships to show for it and I believe you’ve got to run the football to win championships at a consistent level”

Everybody wants a coach who holds players accountable.
Until that accountability reaches their own child.
Then suddenly the coach is too hard on kids.

Games are won and lost up front. You can recruit and load your roster with skill guys, but if you can’t win the line of scrimmage, you won’t be able to win at the highest level.
Jason Beck couldn't call a middle school offense
Never been a fan of bringing on extra OL unless that’s your identity. If you’re a run first team. That’s the issue with UM offense. It has zero identity and that starts with the play caller. You have to design an offense around the strengths of the players you have and adapt your scheme to that. Today was very frustrating as UM has talent but it doesn’t appear cater to the strengths of the personnel. The offense seldom threatens the defense downfield vertically. The lack of QB movement to sprint or boot on 1/2 down is a head scratcher. Lastly, when you insert an extra OL in the game you are giving the defense one less player to worry about in the pass game. Situationally that’s fine from time to time but UM leans WAY too much on it.

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”

“Be responsible for your own self determination, that’s accountability.”
Great players understand that being coached is an opportunity.
Getting better is a responsibility.

You know what holds a lot of athletes back? Worrying too much about what everyone else is getting.
One thing I learned over 20 years of coaching:
The players who improved the most weren’t always the most talented.
They were the ones who stopped worrying about what they weren’t getting and started making the most of what they had.
Tom Brady nails it here.
Control your attitude. Bring energy. Be prepared.
The moment you stop pointing fingers and start looking in the mirror is the moment you start getting better.

I’m completely out.
Quinn Ewers regressed every season he played under Sark.
Arch Manning regressed every season he played under Sark.
This despite having premium skill talent, and at times, great OL play.
It’s Sark.

Thoughts after the game
1. The Carr is out of the garage.
2. Michigan’s defense is elite
3. Bryce showed a lot of high character celebrating Carr’s success after being benched. Not many guys would do that.
#GoBlue
I was super impressed with today after getting benched. He was being a great teammate and that says a lot about him as a leader and a person!

Bryce gets a lot of shit from this fanbase. And I know college football is different in the NIL era and expectations become different when you’re a millionaire many times over. But I’ll never forget how he acted today after being benched. That’s character.

Never in the entire history of the United States has a child gone to school as one gender, had surgery at school, disappeared for four days, and come home as a different gender.
IT’S NEVER HAPPENED.
If you believe this, you’re a fucking idiot.

Kenny Dillingham delivers a raw message on excellence and what average really looks like.
"It was a really, really bad day on offense. And it all stems from the passion we play with."
"Is it okay to not make a play? And if you accept it, then you accept it and that's who you're gonna be."
Then he laid out the truth:
"Don't be mad going 5-7. It's okay. Don't be mad going 6-6. Don't be mad going 3-9. 'Cause somebody has to go those records. There's gonna be tons of teams who do it. Why not us?"
If you accept average, you'll become average.
"We didn't practice bad - we didn't practice with passion."
"The best teams - it matters all the time. You wanna win everything. And today we didn't have that mindset."
They look to compete every single day. They win because they have a winning mindset.
"We didn't wanna win. We wanted to practice. And those are 2 different mindsets to me."
Then he dropped the line:
"It was a good practice for a bad team. It was an average practice for an average team. That's what today was."
This is what the mindset of excellence looks like:
"We didn't practice with passion." → Good isn't good enough.
"It matters all the time." → Standards never take a day off.
"It was a good practice for a bad team." → Champions demand more.

Terry Robiskie says as an NFL head coach he once received a message from his team's owner telling him not to let a player on his team earn his $300,000 contract bonus for total receptions, and says instead of listening to the owner he deliberately called plays to help that player reach the incentive
“Larry Centers was our fullback, and your daddy would always feature him. Your daddy made sure Larry Centers caught six, seven balls a game. He was the best at getting balls in the right hands of the right people.”
“I'll never forget it. We were playing Arizona, which was Larry's old team. Larry came to my office, sat down at my desk, and said, ‘Coach, you know, I didn't make that much money this year on my salary. But I need six catches in this game.’”
“And Norv would always get him seven, nine catches. He said, ‘I need six catches in this game. If I get those six catches, man, I got a $300,000 bonus.’ And I turned and looked at him. I said, ‘Three hundred? Are you crazy? I don't make but $140,000. I'm the head coach!’”
“He said, ‘Coach, man, I gotta get these six catches for this $300,000, man. I'll give you a thousand.’ I said, ‘Okay, good. Give me a thousand!’ But right then, that guy wanted to know, ‘Coach, do you really care about me?’ You know what I mean? And I know that I got a little note from the owner of that team saying, ‘Don't let that guy get them six catches.’”
“I threw him seven balls in the first quarter. I made sure he got them. I never got my thousand dollars from him. I gotta get my thousand! But I made sure he had his incentive. And I told the owner, ‘If you don't want him to make that incentive, don't put it in his contract, because I'm the wrong guy.’ I'm the wrong guy.”

Tommy Carr looks poised and comfortable running this offense
Unfortunately the playcalling is absolutely trash
Jason Beck needs to be fired asap 💯
