Here is my reply. Like that shit and turn it purple so its as gay as the rest of that blog:
A footnote in history
That is how the Sark era will be remembered. An unremarkable period of mediocrity sandwiched between the Dark Ages and Renaissance of Husky Football.
Chris is right that it is unfair to expect any UW coach to match Don James. But it is just as unfair to use two of the worst coaches in the history of college football as the benchmark merely because they immediately preceded Sark as head coaches of UW.
UW emerged from the dark ages the day TW was fired. Any decent coach could have won 4-5+ games with the 2009 UW roster and in fact, before Sark had ever coached his first game at UW and before anyone knew anything about him as a head coach, that was the predicted over/under for the 2009 season: 4 wins. In my opinion that was Sark’s best year winning 5 because it should have been 6 if not for the rigged Notre Dame game. From there on out he may have felt like he was playing with "house money" but after an initial mildly successful season the trend line completely bottomed out.
Sark shouldn’t be judged against Don James and he shouldn’t be judged against TW or Gilbertson. He should be judged by the competition- his contemporaries. And by that measure Sark was stupendously average. Here is his record against P12 coaches over the past 6+ years:
Losing record: Kelly 0-4 Mora 0-2 Harbaugh 0-2 Erickson 0-2 Helfrich 0-1 Graham 1-2 Shaw 2-3 Kiffin 1-2 Chris Petersen 1-2
For the most part Sark got beat by good coaches/programs and beat bad coaches/programs. The exception being his upset of Carroll in 2009 and his domination of Tedford which ultimately got Tedford fired. As Stringer Bell would say:
"That’s good. That’s like a 40-degree day. Ain’t nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day. Fifty. Bring a smile to your face. Sixty, people is damn near barbecuing on that motherf***er Go down to 20, they get their bitch on. Get their blood complaining. But forty? Nobody give a crap about 40. Nobody remember 40, and y’all is giving me way too many 40-degree days!"
Sark was a 40 degree day whose main claim to fame was that it had been negative 10 for the previous two days.

If you use logic and facts on that site you will be called a Duck troll and banned. Happened to me after ASU fail mary loss and again after Stanford plunger rape at Husky stadium. There's been a few so I forget which one. I don't even bother fucking with them anymore, it's not even fun.
