Makes sense. Texas can be his new path and they are not an SEC rival.

I think that played a big part in his decision. He still gets to play in the SEC, while not burning any bridges the way his uncle did. There was never any doubt that he wasn’t going to play in the SEC.

Texas has one of the most stacked QB depth charts in the country. Hudson Card was a 4 star and the number 2 dual threat QB in the country in his signing class. Seems like if sark was such a good developer, he could win with Hudson Card.

I know somebody that played safety for sark, when sark was head coach at U Dub. He said the entire team hated him. Now, he did say that had a lot to do with sark drinking and being a drunk A hole, but who knows how the Texas team feels about him. My conversations with his former player, made me think he wouldn’t succeed anywhere. But I could be wrong. I’m wrong all the time. I do think Quinn Ewers is good enough to succeed in spite of Sark. I don’t know X’s and O’s on a coaching level, but I do understand them more than your average fan, and his offense has never impressed me.

Quinn Ewers is a generational talent. Idk if he’ll make it in the NFL, but people with his potential come around, every so often. Look at Tony Elliot. I always thought all of the Gus Malhzan type offenses (like Gus, Chad Morris, Tony Elliot) were pedestrian, but when you have Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawerence, that offense looked pretty good. The problem with those offenses, outside of the play action game, lack explosive passing plays. Idk what Clemson is running this year, haven’t watched them and know they have a new OC, but this is one reason you saw Clemson be worse last year than they have in years past. It’s about the Jimmy and Joes for some, and for some (like Heupel) it’s about the X’s and O’s. One size doesn’t fit all programs. If anyone tells you different they’re lying. There’s a bunch of different ways to build a program. Great X’s and O’s make the players look better, great Jimmy and joes make the coaches look better. More than one way to skin a cat type of thing.

All of that might be true. I'm not defending Sark in any way. But the question was asked why he chose there, and I think it's pretty clear why. I don't think how they play vs Texas Tech is really even crossing Arch's mind. Arch is looking to go to whoever is most likely to develop him the best. He thinks that person is Sark. And there is a lot of data that suggests that is a good choice.

Regarding Hudson Card, he wasn't a Sarkisian recruit. I'm sure he's talented, but he may not fit the system well. Just like Harrison Bailey here under Huepel.

Also, the thread author suggested he should go to UGA. That would be one of the dumbest decisions he could have made, imo. Kirby Smart has proven time and time again he doesn't know how to develop elite QB prospects. Their offense is reliant on a QB manager. They've had 5 star, after 5 star, after 5 star, and none of them have played hardly a lick. Instead, he rolls with walk-ons and 3 star QBs because they don't turn the ball over and play well enough to win.

...and there's really going to be no talking him out of that now, since he's won a national title playing that style. I didn't think you could win a title in the modern era that way, but he proved me wrong.

Stetson Bennett is doing pretty well at Georgia?

Because he can build a college legacy there as big or bigger than Peyton did at TN and not live in the shadow of his uncles in the SEC.

Unless Arch leads the Horns down the field in the last 2 minutes to upset SCal in the Rose Bowl to win the NC, his legacy will forever be behind VY.
