Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Woodward really wasn't that bad of an AD
Pros:
Sark hire wasn't terrible. Got us to mediocrity and left a decent foundation for a real coach to build off of.
Stadium remodel was excellent.
No matter how much credit we gave Haden, or how much we say Pete hired himself, the bottom line is Woodward got the deal done. That deserves credit.
Cons:
Didn't fire Romar.
Didn't fire Sark after the 2012 LSU game. But this lead to us getting Pete anyways so whatever.
Overall grade: B

Still, he would not have fired Sark after year 5 and Romar is still the basketball coach.
In an alternate reality it would be interesting to see what Sark would have done in 2014 and 2015 had he not been hired away by USC.
2013 didn't completely suck. The team was mentally weak but came close to knocking off an actually good Stanford team on the road. 9-4 is respectable, and I wouldn't have fired him if I was the AD.
2014 would have been pivotal for Sark though. He needed to beat Oregon or Stanford, and idk if he would have done it starting a new QB.
I do think we would have been better in 2014 and 2015 with Sark instead of Pete. Probably 9-4 both years or so.
But there is no fucking way we would be undefeated and #5 in the country this year with Sark
I still don't know if Smith got better calling plays, or we are just so much better than everyone talent wise it doesn't matter. We do seem to have more run plays called and aren't always in 2nd and 10.

Cohen sucks. Had nothing to do with the hire. She was in charge of handing out the cigars after contracts were signed.
