Now that I have been here a few days I offer this observation

Auburn, buddy....why the fuck are you giving Sark credit for the D staff? (It's a new doog talking point now)

It was a blank check (ok'd by the new President) to get the new staff. Had 0 to do with Sark.

I agree Sark has underachieved and cost us a win or two every year. But....

New stadium is incredible

4 straight top 25 classes. There is some serious talent out there now

3 straight winning seasons. 3 straight bowl games. How would that have sounded to you back in 2007-2008?

And Sark pulled his head out, fired Holt, and hired some real D coaches. We gave up less than 300 points in the regular season last year for the first time since 2000. Our D is not soft, and might be very, very strong this year.

Sark has to improve. But what he did with the D last year gives me hope that he can learn and improve. This year will tell the tale.

"Let it play out" actually makes sense right now.

Sark has done some good things, but he's not a great coach. He's probably between the 7th and 9th best coach in the P 12. If he were a savvy Mack Clown type who recruited tons of four and five star talent and showed signs that the program was on the cusp if Rose Bowls, then okay, let it play out. That's not likely.

Washington shouldn't fucking settle. Washington fights the LA schools for Pasadena. Washington doesn't get killed by Oregon every fucking yr or blowleads to Wazooo and Boise Beauty Academy. F that. Washington should have a coach who can at least win2/3 of his games.

If you are hired the right coach you don't have to "let it play out" or "wait and see" in year 5.

He will have already established himself. If UW had hired the right coach with the experience and talent that this roster has plus skipping USC we would talking Rose Bowl.

The fact that at BEST in year five this fuck only takes 3rd in his 6 team division says a lot. Most are picking UW to finish 4th in a 6 team division in year five!

Nick Saban is glad you weren't his AD @ Mich St. 25-22-1 & 0-3 in "shitty" bowl games, and he regressed from 7-5 to 6-6.

Les Miles went 4, 8, 9 and regressed to 7 wins, before popping 11 in Yr 5 (Yr 1 @LSU)

Even DJ went 6, 5, 8, and 7 before popping out 10 in year 5.

Not saying Sark any of those guys as some will spin, and I would have had no problem with him getting fired in the 4th qtr of the AC.

But NO one here knows for certainty that the light won't click on and Sark pops out a good season with 9 or 10 wins.

After listening to, and observing Sark now for several years, does anyone really believe the "circuitry" is there for the light to suddenly click on?

He seems like a good guy but also seems clearly overwhelmed by his job at times.

I haven't seen the growth as a coach that would warrant keeping him any longer.

Not everyone is made to be out on the point.

That is a good point.

Pre Apple Cup my feeling toward Sark was = 60-40

Post Apple Cup = 40-60

Post Bowl Game = 40-60

Call me stupid, but I have started drinking the purple stuff again and I am around 55-45. We better start 4-0, or I am going to take a major swing to the other side.

Top 25 talent, top 50 results. That's good enough?

Fuck.

Remember the old saying "UClA, where all-americans go to get soft".

I think you can say that about Washington and it's been that way for a while.

I was in the "let it play out" crowd last year. Look how it played out. It's pretty played out by now, but it will play out. Again.
