Rome: "Does it take 5 years to get the program where you need it to be?"
Sark: "What we inherited was a program coming off of an 0-12 season. And I really felt like as much as it was, you know, getting great schemes and recruiting good players it was about changing a culture. We had to change the way these guys were thinking, they way they were acting, the way they were talking, the way they were dressing. All of that. And it was definitely a process to do that."
A few minutes later...
Rome: "What about long term? Can you see yourself staying at Washington a long time?"
Sark: "We had a tremendous coach that coached here in Don James who, as some might know is not doing great right now and our thoughts are with Coach James and his family and Carol and everybody. But he set a standard of excellence here. The guy came here and won a National Championship, won multiple Rose Bowls and Pac-10 Championships and was here for 18 years. My goal is to outlast him. My goal is to be here longer than Coach James was. My goal is to win one more National Championship than he did, and to win more conference championships than he did. We're on the right path, but you can't get multiple until you get one, and so that's what the initial goal is."
Rome: "If I'm a Husky Fan, and you hear him say something like that - you know, we once had this great program, a proud program, great head coach, we won a National Championship, he was here 18 years, and it's my goal to surpass those things - if I'm a Husky Fan that's great news."

Sark: "Dude, give it a rest brah."
I really can't hate Sark, I want his ass gone but he is making a lot of money bullshitting people.
At first I felt like the Tybots would defend Ty more angrily than Sark those first two years but now the Sark Doogs are even more angry. How DARE you even question or put any blame on Sark?! You must not be a real fan!
