Best Coach of My Lifetime

FireCohen

he must have done something good in his previous life or he sold his fucking soul. How can this asshole just keep fail up, it make no fucking sense. That he was trusted with these programs.

What are Sark's biggest wins as a coach? That sure as hell has to be an underwhelming list.

This question put me to work.

2009: UW finished 7th in conference, beat then #3 USC (finished #22) and #19 Cal (unranked).

2010: UW was 4th in Pac12 North, beat #18 USC (unranked) and #17 Nebraska (#20) in the Holiday Bowl.

2011: 3rd in North, didn’t beat any ranked team.

2012: 4th in North, beat #8 Stanford (#7) and #7 Oregon St (#20).

2013: 3rd in North, beat #19 Boise St (unranked). UW finished ranked at #25.

2014: USC tied for 2nd in Pac12 South, beat #13 Stanford (unranked) and #10 Arizona (#17). SC ranked #20 end of year. Preseason ranked #15.

2015: Sark fired after game 5 - Go Dawgs - didn’t beat any ranked team. Preseason ranked #8.

2021: Texas finished 7th in Big12, beat #23 Louisiana (#16). Preseason ranked #21.

2022: 3rd in Big12, beat #13 K State (#14). Texas ranked #25 end of year. Preseason ranked #18.

None of his teams except for 2013 UW finished ranked higher than preseason. Every UW team after 2009 received preseason votes in the polls.

His biggest wins? USC in 09, Stanford in 12, K State last year. IIRC, Stanford didn’t have their starter at QB that game just like USC had a backup in 09.

That's the most damning stat in there. Holy shit.

Once in 9 seasons as HC. And that team went all the way up from "others receiving votes" to #25.

So that’s what a grand slam coach looks like
