College Football Matrix on our favorite pudgy Armenian

Sarkingham · August 2014

Per Dave Bartoo...

"Coach Steve Sarkisian’s coach effect was a solid minus-1 game every season, except 2013 when he went minus-2...Sarkisian in his last five years was ranked No. 42 in total coach effect and last in the Pac 12 for coaches with over two years of experience."

Also, his overall thoughts on talent and taking over a new program...

"I feel that for the most part, sans massive attrition after a new head coach is named, the cupboard is as full as it ever was it just takes time to sculpt a program. The better the coach and internal culture, the less the time it takes to get a program trending up."

If you have time, his take on UW is also worth a quick read here

TL;DR version, he's projecting 10-11 regular season wins for UW (compared to 9-10 for USC for those keeping score at home).

Thanks for posting. I took the over on O/U on the Huskies to win more than 9 games as it's a push if they win just 9 (5-4 in conference). I'd only lose money if Petersen has a Sarktastic first season (4-5 in conference) and only wins 8 games. The odds have already moved from my bet a few days ago:
