Texas CRITIC Does NOT HOLD BACK on Lonhorns, Sark, & Arch! · College Football Addiction: A Show About All Things College Football

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Can we bitch about Texas now?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Baby, let's do it.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: The Texas Longhorns presented by PrizePix. Back-to-back losses against unranked teams.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Florida is now ranked. So based on how you factor that,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe you could say that one of them
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: was a ranked team. But more of the same.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Cole, I'll let you do it.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Number one, stop blaming Arch entirely. I get it. I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: know that Arch is bad. Arch is not a good quarterback.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I will say this until I'm blue in the face.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Arch has been terrible this year. He is not a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. That being said, this is on Steve Sarkeesian.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, you have 21 games of film on
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: what Arch Manning does well. You have not made any
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: single adjustment. You have run the same offense out there
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: every single week and said, here, figure it on out,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: even if you can't do it properly. That's on you.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That's on coaching. And the fact of the matter is
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that you have a guy who sits at the top
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of the tower and acts all high and mighty and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: talks down to people because if he isn't somebody who
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: has worked and been able to win a national title
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as an offense coordinator and thinks that he is able
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to speak confidently like he knows better than anybody else.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Your offense is the reason you were going to go
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: 8-4 this year. Your play designs are the reason why
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: more losses are coming. It's not done. Guys, they're not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: done losing. Texas, in my opinion, is not going to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the playoff. This sealed it yesterday. Yesterday was the nail
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in the coffin of, oh, well, you know what? I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: had hope and belief that maybe, just maybe, that game
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Red River was, you know, an outlier. It's the same offense.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You made no adjustments. And the problem is, and I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: heard somebody talk about this. I don't remember who it was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But they mentioned how this entire offseason was about getting
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with the explosives and building the house with a bunch
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of really nice things. You want to come to this house.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You want to come inside because they got the pool table.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: They got Topgolf. They have all these little things. Golden Tee.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: They got a mini bar that's filled to the brim.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: They got a keg. Like all the things in the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: extremities that make the house really well. But the foundation
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is shit. And because of that... Oh, why the hell
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: am I going to be here when it blows over
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and capsizes on itself? Because that's the offensive line. You
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: spent money on Hollywood Smothers. You spent money on Raheem Biles.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You spent money on Cam Coleman. Where's this offensive line?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It still is a mess. It still is a fault.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And then defensively, yeah, you were able, you gave up,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, you certainly allowed Florida to find its way
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: back into this game. Florida also took the advantages against
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you in this game. And the fact is, is that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you need Colin Simmons out there to stand a chance
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: against anybody that's on your schedule because you still have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Camario Taylor and company coming to town. You still have
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss next week. You got to go to Death
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Valley to take on Sam Levitt. You need that guy
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on the edge that can go ahead and win those
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: one-on-one battles and put pressure on a quarterback, and now
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: he's out. So you lose your best asset. Arch isn't good,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: but neither is the play calling. And we are very,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: very close to saying the things that we said last
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: season about James Franklin down in the 40 acres. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to say that Steve Sarkeesian will not be the head
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: coach of Texas after this year.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You went all in.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about Lincoln Riley having to be
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: playoff or bust? You were national championship or bust. Maybe
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not winning the thing, but being in it. You're not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a playoff team right now. You're 8-4. You're Texas 8-4.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I'll get right back to this clip of the Power
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: 2 here on the College Football Addiction Network. But first,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about our friends over at PrizePix.

• 4:16
  Speaker 3: sure you're on the Price Picks app. You're using code HMA.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: There's a ton on there from Champions League soccer to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the NBA starting back up, NHL's going, MLB postseason.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Shout out my Rays.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And then, of course, college football, the most important thing
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: that happens in this country.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: We appreciate Price Picks for their support. Now back to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the clip.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You're not the one in College Station. You're the other one.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And this is on Steve Sarkeesian. Humble yourself. If I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: am Chris Del Conte and I decide to keep him
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: around for one more year, it comes with an addendum.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You hire an offensive play caller and get your shit
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: out of the office. I'll hire somebody that will. You
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: can't waste $ 50 million on this roster. You can't waste
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: another year of not developing Archman. He's not gotten any better.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: He's regressed beyond repair. You may have to bench him
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: because he has no confidence anymore. I've watched him die.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I've watched him give up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Tom? It's very strange to me. The diagnosis on Simmons
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: is it's an ankle sprain, so you've got to see
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: how that goes. He could be back this coming week.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: He could be out two weeks, three weeks. You have
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: no idea. So that's a major hit to this defense.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And you could tell when he went out of the game,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: it was kind of like the air went out of
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: the room a little bit. Defensively, I don't have that
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: many concerns because Simmons getting back is going to be important. offensively,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: it's so bizarre because back into last season, last, what,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: six games, I think we can all agree Arch Manning
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: looked good for this offense. You can look at the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: level of competition and understand maybe where some of that
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: comes from, but still, he looked like he was doing
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: better the back end of last season. I've talked about
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: this before. These are 18 to 22-year-olds. There's maybe no
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: player in the country with more pressure on them than
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Arch Manning. It's entirely possible that that his recruiting evaluation
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: out of high school was severely inflated because of his
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: last name. I think we can all agree on that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And then when you automatically hear the discussion from Paul Feinbaum,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: he's going to be the greatest quarterback to ever play
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: college football. He's going to be the number one overall
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: pick in 2027. This guy was saying during the off
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: season that, Hey, the Texas team you want to worry
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: about is maybe not in 26, maybe in 27. If
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: you can bring a lot of these pieces back, if
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: arch can have another year to develop potentially because the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Right now, he's not seeing it. Whatever it is, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: connection between Sark and Arch, it's not there. I think
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Arch's capability, I think people will hate to hear this,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: but if he transferred to a slightly smaller school, you
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: would see him do fantastic numbers, and he would probably
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: be in a situation where there's less pressure, less expectations.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Sometimes that's good for a young person. Maybe not for
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a Manning, where the expectations are the freaking moon, Steve
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Sarkeesian might go down as one of those head coaches
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: that is probably better off being a coordinator in that
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: category of Lincoln Riley, in that category of Brent Venables.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: I think we're discovering that. I was talking about this
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: in the offseason. I was like, hey, it's great that
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: they brought in Cam Coleman and Hollywood Smothers and they
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: let Wisner and a couple guys take a walk. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: was like, I didn't think a running back, the guy
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: carrying the ball, was the problem. I thought it was
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the offensive line.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It wasn't good.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And they didn't do a ton to address the offensive
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: line during the offseason. They're not very deep when it
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: comes to the offensive line. Like, you look at Goosby
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: and say, yeah, he could be a first-round pick. Everybody else,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you're kind of like, hmm, it's not really there. They
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: didn't spend the money in the transfer portal to go
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: get the guys along the offensive line that would shore
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: this thing up. They got the shiny hood ornaments. They
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: got Cam Coleman. They got Hollywood Smothers. That'll fix the problem.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: It's the oldest story in football. If you're not good
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: in the trenches, nothing happens. And this offensive line is
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: not elite. And that's been a problem for them all season.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: They're not running the football to the point that they
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: want to be. It's better than last year, but something
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: is better than horrible. So I don't know. I agree
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: with Cole. I think this could be the last year
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: for Sarkeesian in Texas, because it sounds like they're wearing
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: thin on his overall act for him to step in
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: front of the media and continue to talk down to
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: the media, that reeks of an insecurity. He doesn't seem
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: to have the same creativity that he had many years ago.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: And I understand he's overcome a lot in his personal life.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: He's embraced his sobriety, all those sorts of things, wonderful things.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: But I don't think he's cut out to be a
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: head coach. I think he's cut out to be a coordinator.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make this clear. I'm not taking a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: shot at Steve Sarkeesian, the person. I'm taking a shot
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at Steve Sarkeesian, the head coach. You are your own
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: worst enemy right now. You are clearly your own worst enemy.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Because here's the part that I cannot stomach from hearing
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it from fans either. You want to blame Arch, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: that's fine. This is who he is. You're the coach.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You're the coordinator. You're the guy calling the plays. You
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: have to make life work with the surroundings that you have.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You're making no adjustments. And instead, you say yesterday in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a press conference, everything is under evaluation. Is giving up
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: play calling duties under evaluation? Or are you too prideful
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: for that? Because right now, Texas, they're favored against Ole
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Miss by three and a half. And that is the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: fastest I have ever laid down money on a gambling line.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I ran to the nearest play and said, here, take it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Because it's the easiest play that I can bet this week.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Kamario Taylor's coming to town. The reality is the rest
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of the season besides one game.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: It's Ole Miss or Trinidad?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It's Ole Miss and that's Mississippi City. Oh, okay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But I... in every game, minus the Texas A &
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: M game at the end of the year, you will
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: have the weaker quarterback. Sam Leavitt is a better quarterback
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: right now than Arch Manning. Austin Simmons is a better
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback right now than Arch Manning. Kamario Taylor is a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: much better quarterback than Arch Manning. Trinidad Chandler is the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: best quarterback in the SEC besides moving under Stockton. Sorry,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you will have the weaker quarterback in every single game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And he has no confidence.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And you have nothing to do. A new setting. could
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: absolutely do him some good.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you guys think about this, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: we may have, we may have a spot available. We
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: may have a head coach spot too, as much as
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: you're crapping on Sark.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Like I'll take that too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Sark arch reunion and Sark demote Norvell to offensive court coordinator.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Cause he's, he's teamed it up last night.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: And then have arch running the offense. So I don't know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
