Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Sark refuses to acknowledge team's lack of discipline.

Sad. UW is now the most penalized team in the country: 36 total penalties in three games and an average of 98.3 penalty yards per game.
But when asked about why his team is committing so many penalties, did Sark say that "we need to instill more discipline and that's on me"? Did he say, "I take full responsibility for our guys not being fundamentally sound"?
No, here is what he said: "...we coach our guys to play really hard. And we coach them to get after it and they want to get going for the ball to get snapped and they want to finish blocks and they want to play with great effort and get to the ball.
“I think we’re going to have a little bit of this because our guys are going to play really, really hard..."
So in other words, teams without a lot of penalties do NOT play hard? If you're "playing hard" then you're going to get penalties?
It reminds of when political candidates are asked to identify their biggest fault, and they give the typical lame answer: "Sometimes I care too much."

Good poast Passion.
I'd add:
"........ The UW offensive line was flagged 10 times on Saturday, with a false start called on consecutive plays at one point. That drew a chorus of boos from the Husky Stadium crowd."
At least 10 of the 16 penalties had absolutely nothing to do with "play(ing) really hard". These were all due to a lack of disciplined play and poor execution. These are the kinds of mistakes that can kill drives, erase scores, and swing momentum, especially when playing an aggressive defense that will pin its ears back and knock the snot out of the quarterback on long yardage downs.
Woof!
Take a complete negative and spin it into a positive. He may be a shitty coach, but he'd make a hellofa politician.
I don't get how people fall into Pool Boy's trap. They forget he was Emmertt pool bitch and Emmertt is incompetent.
If it was possible to keep him on as Facilities Director or some such title I'd be all for it. But since his current job requires him to actually discern between coaching talent and dreckfest, it's time for Pool Boy I and II to be DAO.
You hear so many doogs say they are "friends of the football program" because unlike their past predecessor who didn't give a fuck about football they seem to care.
What they don't realize is both are incompetent they do more harm to the football program than a president/AD could ever do if they didn't care.
