Question for Doogs

DerekJohnson

When Sark was hired, if you knew that five years later oregon writers would be predicting a 45-0 Duck victory in Seattle, would you feel Sark was the right hire?

We open the season with BYU?! Staff true?!

Meek

awfully warm for (insert future date regarding any topic), isn't it?

Steve_Bowman

I"m plenty negative about the Dawgs' future, but 45 - 0 is a little over the top.

We're not that bad. There's every reason to believe we might not lose by more than 21 points. The downside might be 45 - 14 possibly if Cream Puff goes with his vaunted shotgun air assault after we get behind a couple of TDs.

Oh yeah, the question. Of course not.

DerekJohnson

I agree Steve, but the point is more that 45-0 is how we're regarded by our opponents

I took that as a combo shot at the Huskies with a bit of Sarkasm, but you could be right, the writer may believe the game really will be that easy ... and he/she/it may be right. Either way, the writer is perfectly comfortable "printing" that kind of shot (or prediction), which would not have happened if a real coach had been in charge at Udub for the past four years.

Steve_Bowman

I get the idea, but 45 - 0 is still pretty verbose. It's not too bright printing that kind of stuff, but we are talking about a frigin bird.

I do understand (and agree) with the writers total lack of respect. There are only two teams next year that probably don't have much of a chance against us (ID St. and Illinois.)

This is a combo shot too. I just pissed all over Cream Puff's shoes.

That's delusional. I think we will beat Oregin this season.

Starbucks or public library?

45-21 may as well be 45-0. The 21 will be garbage points that they allow UW to score against Oregon's towel boys.

Just passing this along, I'm hearing Heilfrichtche likes his towel boys as much as Kelly did, allegedly.

Not that anyone who runs a UW football fan site would ever spread a dirty rumor around like that in Las Vegas. Never.

Oh, hi Kim!

Steve_Bowman

Agreed.

BYU in place of BSU is no misprint, I believe. All who are associated with duck football have difficulty acknowledging their two game, home and home loses to BSU during their coaching transition from Bellotti to Kelly. It's not just this mini-losing streak that causes the ducks to choke, but the fact reported at least in Boise that Phil Knight wanted Chris Peterson instead of Kelly first as OC and then as Bellotti's replacement before Peterson totally rejected the prospect of returning to Eugene. Some truth to this seemed evident when Peterson was reportedly seen with Knight around town in Boise and photographed on the field in Bronco Stadium before that infamous second BSU pounding of Kelly's duck football. I think actually it was just that Peterson and Phil Knight are close friends.

Even though the firing of Tyrone Willingham was a relief in terms of UW finally correcting the 2005 mistake of hiring the incompetent fraud and worst coach in Husky football history, Emmert-Woodward's hiring of under-qualified raw rookie Steve Sarkisian was disappointing to me. While continuing to flog their public funding stadium renovation concept to the death it deserved, Emmert-Woodward once again insulted our football intelligence by not searching for and hiring the proven head football coach that Husky Football desperately needed following the oh-for-twelve 2008 season.

Given what had happened to our football program prior to Sark's arrival, I can not avoid being somewhat encouraged. Compared to his two predecessors, Tyrone and Gilby, some excitement has been regenerated by Sark's first four seasons. Although there's still plenty of questions about his head coaching abilities, I can still muster some hope while Sark remains on a learning curve with his changes in staff and schemes. The defense could be good even this coming season while Sark's offense........ is a work in progress especially in fundamentals and discipline. The recruiting must get better at positions away from the ball and glory zone........ but then, everything needs to get much better.

I think we beat Oregon this year 31-28. WTF is 45-0? Mariota is going to get killed

Two years ago, I had the same sentiments. 2011 was a disappointment, especially on the defensive side. The LSU game last year kind of got me off the fence about Sark and proved he was, at least at this time, an average coach. Remember, Towson did better against LSU than we did, and the Tigers finished 10-3, not 12-1 or 13-0...they weren't a top five team, not that it should matter that much.

I actually think that if he goes 7-6 for a fourth straight year, the chances are pretty good he gets canned, probably in the area of 70%. The higher-ups in the Tyee Club will start to call for it. 6-7 will get him fired for sure, unless he has some pretty good dirt on several people. I can't see even most Doogs standing for that.

The problem will be if they go 8-5. It's kind of in that nebulus range. Even if Whoregon (LOL!!) *insert rape analogy here* us, there will be some kind of excuse for it. We did slightly better than last year, and these guys were injured, it was hot in Tempe or L.A., too high in Utah etc. It will show Woody that there's incremental progress and it will save Seven Win Steve's job, because he's now Eight Win Steve. Contracts will get extended and we'll continue to win P 12 North Third Place Ribbons.

Good poast and I agree with you except for the above.

If he goes 7-6 again. It's easily over 51% that he's back for his 6th year. 6-7 and I think he's back as well. The higher ups you speak of...there was a good amount of them that lobbied for Ty to get a 4th year. I agree that some doogs will start to jump off the bandwagon, but idiot jagoffs like S14aSF, DugtheDoog, and DiggyDoog will go down with the ship and Kim, Fatters, and Ektard won't say shit until their access is cut off. Then Dave Samek can write about how Sark should be fired after Sark gets fired after his 18th 7-6 season.

Tailgater

If by higher-ups in the Tyee Club, you mean AD ass-kissers like Bill Fleener, I wouldn't count on that Insider bunch to apply any pressure for more scoreboard success on the gridiron. I've been a Tyee since '75 and along with many other things that went wrong, I'm still disappointed that the Tyees as a so-called booster club didn't raise more hell and get into a knockdown brawl with Hedges, Gerberding, and McCormack when it mattered and might have saved Husky Football before the football president Dr. Snakeoil and his hatchet man showed up to deliver the death blow. I know there was some pressure from deep pockets when we hit rock bottom and our once great attendance went away, but that was over ten years too late. Now we are virtually nothing trying to be something again. Who could of thought that such a thing could happen? Certainly not the Tyees.

If Fetters is on the ship it will sink fast.
