I'm glad you guys are finally giving Sark his props. Yes, Wilcox is the best DC in the country. Too bad he's prob headed to BSU in 2 months. Yes, UW wins tomorrow - Sark is undefeated in the new Husky Stadium, and almost undefeated in the black unis.
Who in this shithole AD had the idea to hire Wilcox?
Even if it was Sark, Woodward gets the credit because he went to the Prez to get the blank check.
This is just hearsay (my sources are probably shit), but word is, UW reached out to Wilcox long before the Baylor bowl game. I think it had to be known that Wilcox was looking to abandon Derek Dooley's sinking ship. Someone deserves the credit for giving him the money and getting him here. He brought a nice staff with him too.

Might just be dumb luck - you never know. They prob used a search firm.
I'm reminded of Woody's first impression of Sark...sold after the first interview
Dumb luck does exist so people shouldn't read too far into it. It's how you allow yourself to think Mark Emmert is a good football president cause he hired Nick Saban many moons ago.

Disagree. If Woodward cared about spending enough to win, he would have never hired Sark in the first place.
There is a different President now than at the time of the Sark hire. Wood went to Young to get the approval for the "blank check" for the new coaches. Unfortunately, Mark Emmert wasn't aborted before he became President of UW and destroyed the football program.

I like this. Maybe Young will make Woodward fire Sark once the season that is already over officially ends after the Apple Cup.

If Young was a good president he would have done that last year though.
Not saying he'll be awful like Emmert but not firing Sark last year shows they aren't good either.

There's also a different conference commissioner.
Larry Scott may hate Washington and Oregon and like to take the tennis racquet up the 2 hole (sideways), but without the TV money, UW is still second rate in position coach salaries.
There's just no way you're going to convince me that anyone in that athletic department/upper campus is prioritizing futbol enough to make the hires they did if they didn't just luck into some extra cash.

If @HeretoBeatmyChest is just here to beat his chest, he won’t last long.
