Just curious about your former HC?

DisslyDawg

New Husky fan here and with so many threads about your former head coach and Justin Wilcox I have to ask. I have enjoyed college football for many years but from the outside it seems your program was making a rebound and clearly the defense is very talented. Why the disdain for Sark and his staff because it seems that the Washington program is on the rebound? I was a big Chris Petersen fan when he was at Boise and I enjoyed his brand of football. IMO the University of Washington football program couldn't be in better hands, what am I missing here? Go Huskies!

Long story short, Sark inherited a 4-5 win team (that everyone said was a true 0-12 team), got a little bit better the first season then flatlined for 3 years. Wilcox helped but struggled badly against the best teams. Last seasons squad had top 10 talent and underachieved. Sark gets a ton of credit for the turnaround when he did very little. Off the field he was late for meetings, a drunkard, cheated on his wife all the time, verbally embarrassed himself and the school, blamed a message board for his recruiting failures, etc. Meanwhile, the local media, led by Dawgman.com stifled any dissent and questioning of Sark, instead proclaiming him as some great turnaround specialist. He had top 20 talent yet never came close to competing for a conference title.

After the 2011 season Sark fired more than half the staff to save himself, then got a "blank check" from the school to hire top assistants including Tosh Lupoi who secured players like Shaq and John Ross who otherwise wouldn't really have considered UW.

Last year's offense had the best tailback in the nation, best TE in the nation, experienced OL, QB with 2nd best rating in pac-12 and a ridiculous amount of talent at WR (3 or 4 NFL guys) yet wasn't even top 20 nationally in the key offensive stats.

You are dead on with Petersen. If he was hired a few years ago, last years squad may have been a NC contender. He is clearly the best coach in the conference and there is a very good chance he will be here a long time.

Will Dissly is awesome btw.

You won't find anyone that preferred Willingham to Sark, but the point is that Sark has a ceiling and does lots of stupid shit, too much to list I have no time. Let me say:


Enough said on that.

What about Shaun Alexander, the greatest Seahawk to ever play and the leader that led them to their only Super Bowl appearance?

He's a Bama troll just trying to make real Husky fans look bad.

Alexander is an asshole of epic proportions. He shouldn't have stuck his nose where it didn't belong. His lack of production after getting his huge contract speaks volumes about his character. What's that dick doing now?

Thanks for the response Chest, when I was younger I liked your Rose Bowl winning teams coached by James. Always admired how the Huskies always played solid football and never seemed to beat themselves on the football field, very similar to the way I started to enjoy Boise State the past decade.

Hi Spooge!

5 minutes on the board and you would know not to post a question like that on here. The fact you did screams red flag, and I'm on board with RoadDawg on this one.

I will give him credit for coming up with a handle that made him immediately accepted. He gave himself away though.
