That 1995 team wasn't that good but the conference as a whole was down. He personally blew the Notre Dame game, the Oregon game and the USC tie.AtomicDawg said:Lambo sucked. Anyone switching to a spread passing attack where two of your wideouts are a tight end should be fired. That 95 team probably is a 1 loss team (@ohio st) with a good coach. The 96 team got their ass kicked in the bowl game and sucked against good teams. Don't get me started on the 97 team. That is all.
In 1996 he had a good regular season going 9-2 but in the bowl game had a 14-0 lead then offense didn't score again.
As for 1997? Well sent 13 guys to the NFL only to go 8-4 with home losses to WSU and Oregon. I was really surprised he survived that.
Then in 1998 we couldn't run the ball, got constantly blow up on defense and were fortunate to be 6-6 as UW had two lucky wins(ASU and Oregon State). He had more than worn out his welcome when he was fired.
I really don't understand the revisionist history that says firing Lambo was a mistake. No it wasn't at all. -
Arguing over Lambo & Sark.....
I believe you have 3 or 4 levels of coaches...
Championship coaches- DJ, Chip, Harbaugh, Carroll
Good coaches- Riley, Pinkel, Belotti, Bruce Snyder, Tedford
Everyone Else-
Complete Disasters-
Anyone who is a complete disaster gets fired after 2-3 years. So if someone isnt good or a complete disaster then they are in that everyone else category like Sark and Lambo. -
I'm going to disagree on your good coaches. Just look at Bruce Snyder for an example. I don't agree with Tedford or Pinkel either.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Arguing over Lambo & Sark.....

I reluctantly agree about Belotti although I felt he held the program back and was validated with my thinking when they took off immediately after he left.

Fuck I just realized Sark is going to be Bruce Snyder from ASU without the 20-4 run in years 5 and 6.

Fair enough...the last three years are what dropped Snyder. But these guys were good enough to accomplish something quickly, whereas a Sark or Lambo hasnt done anything.

Snyder had only two years of more than 6 wins at ASU, while Sark has hit 7 wins three years in a row. If this doesn't prove house money, then you don't understand the meaning of incremental progress.He_Needs_More_Time said:Fuck I just realized Sark is going to be Bruce Snyder from ASU without the 20-4 run in years 5 and 6.

Doogs like to say James won 6,5,8,7 in first four yrs and Sark won 5,7,7,7 so we'd fire James.
Someone with half a brain would point out James went 26-19 with a Rose Bowl win while Sark is 26-25.
Not to mention James wasn't getting plunger raped 3+ times a year.
