This explains a lot: Sarkisian, on his radio show, said UW implemented a new scheme on kickoff coverage last week. Obviously didn't work.

That would be a valid excuse if let's say if kickoff coverage wasn't a problem and it was just one kickoff that they busted.

In 2009 Stanford returned the opening kickoff for a TD. UW was so confused on special teams Sark had THREE different guys field punts because in game five he still doesn't know who his punt returner is.

In 2010, Sean McDonough said on a nationally televised broadcast that Sark's special teams WERE THE WORST HE HAD EVER SEEN.

Exactly! Players are totally different from then yet it's still a problem. Special teams have been awful every year but 2011 and that year was a mix bag.

Johnny Nansen was a LB in college who has coached the DL and was the recruiting coordinator that fucked things up locally. Now he's coaching rb's and special teams. Special teams are the easiest things to coach and fix....and apparently fuck up.

I'm waiting on Sark to tell us half the kick off unit was in man coverage and the other half in zone.

if sark recruited a kicker who could kick a touchback none of this would've mattered, notice how I'm blaming Sark and not the kid (hi Husky Honks)

You'd think with THREE kickers on Scholarship that one of them would be capable of doing just that.

Today Sark said more defensive starters will play on special teams vs. Oregon: "The value of field position is too important right now."

Reactive vs proactive is a common theme with this guy

Yes after the opening kickoff he should have made that decision in the game to win it.

You've made the best argument I've ever seen for firing Sark immediately. His special teams were shit in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013 and mediocre in 2011.

The season is over and the program is over until Sark LEAVES!

The incessantly embarrassing special teams should have been grounds for his firing after year 4.

Jim Lambright thinks Sark's special teams are an embarrassment.........

Well, of course they were.
Did you see all the "stemming" Stanford was doing?

When they brought on Coons, we were all told about his ability to boom kickoffs. Now he has to punt and kick field goals, so they played rock, paper, scissors with the other 2 kickers, and Rip lost.

Why would we change the scheme when the one we used the first four games seemed to work fine? There are always new excuses.

Sign of a loser coach. Losing coaches make excuses, while winners fix that mistake so it never happens again.

Special Teams has been a problem since year one. It's not ever getting fixed until Sark is gone.

I don't think all of the special teams are bad.
Punt team, especially the kicking have been good. The fake punt was excellent.
Field goals and PAT are good.

It's mostly the kickoff team. I agree it's been bad for a long time.
I would throw the Special team's coach under the bus for that one.
