Is this all football activities? If so that's awesome. Gives him a couple months to build back quickness, speed, and strength.

Yes, off season workouts. Of course, I think he'll be doing some agility and speed stuff as well. For now, I would not expect him to have any contact.

He has been here for 8 years, overseeing teams that compete in 20 ncaa sports (only 10 in 2020 due to covid). So he has had 150 opportunities to accumulate these stats.
50% success rate for top 10 finishes is crazy. 10% of seasons have ended in a National Championship.
Time to get that football and basketball title.

Steve Spurrier questions Arch Manning Heisman Trophy hype as Texas prepares for 2025 season
Spurrier isn't convinced the Heisman Trophy buzz surrounding Manning is justified

I don't know, I don't think it was that simple. I think Texas (Sark) and the Manning's had a plan and they stuck with it. To me, the plan turned out better because Arch got significant playing time in 3 games due to injury to Ewers. But Sark was loyal to Ewers and Arch showed tremendous patience and knew his time would come. I really believe had Ewers decided not to enter the draft that Arch would still be QB1 this year and Ewers would be somewhere else. Maybe he is worth the Heisman hype, maybe he isn't, but I think he will be an upgrade for Texas at that position.So now a former coach is saying it.

Spurrier, who won a Heisman, had first year stats that look alot like Arch's
Spurrier – 943 yards passing and six touchdowns
Arch – 969 yards and nine touchdowns
Except Spurrier's stats were for an entire season. Arch's was more or less two games.

Why do people care what Spurrier says? It's all conjecture. If he and all other sports talking heads knew everything, Las Vegas would be broke.
The whole if Arch was so good, then why didn't he play instead of Quin is an old and often brought up question. So it's not surprising Spurior would resorect it.
Sark had lots of things to consider, from keeping promises to long term QB room development, and of course winning games in the current season and going forward.
I actually love it when people question Arch, or the team, it's the opposite of rat poison.

CTJ in rare form, talking about OU
OU’s “Champ BBQ Weekend” turned out to be a giant wet fart. They landed Jandreau because his parents pushed him to stick with his brother. They landed a kicker. They landed a 3 star Edge over UCLA and Colorado.
Throughout the weekend, Nagy was live tweeting hints at big things about to happen, getting posters worked up. I’ve listened to this guy over the years and there’s always been a hypeman element to him trying to rally viewers and participants to the Senior Bowl in Mobile. I didn’t realize that would carry over into OU GM territory. It’s gotten to where the sooner posters have rapidly gone from “Trust Nagy!” to mocking his tweets. It’s glorious to witness.
Afterwards, multiple other “big” targets indicated to the Sooner Illustrated mods that they were now looking elsewhere. The overriding theme? Oklahoma is poor. They wanted competitive offers to compare to other schools and they didn’t get them.
They lost an IOL from Pasa-get-down-Dena! who is now choosing between TCU and UH. The guy went to OU this weekend, the mods said OU felt really good about the visit, then they spoke to him later in the day and he said he was choosing elsewhere.
Same story for a 4 star DT they really wanted.
They’re also all over a WR named Dandridge that Georgia really wants and expects to land. The mods are trying to keep hope there while clearly concerned.
The mods and a board “insider” are all now talking about OU prioritizing the portal over HS recruiting and telling board denizens to stop focusing on the HS recruiting rankings. In the span of 48 hours. “Expect fireworks in the portal in December!”
That program is heading south in a hurry. They’ll have a decent team this year, but sustaining any bounce back will be elusive.

Even though I blame Ewers for the loss to Ohio State he did take us to two consecutive playoff berths. To me this was a combination of Sark being loyal and choosing experience over talent, while adhering to the Manning family plan.

He's just wisecracking. Spurrier is harmless. He's as good to college football as Leach was.
Leach and his famous “fat girlfriends” comment will remain legendary folklore.

That was my point: His comment was not to be taken seriously or prophetic.
