    Sark always seems to have a lull in recruiting momentum about this time of the season. I wonder why?

    The same gurus who told us this would be a banner class if the wins come spend most of their posting energy this time of year on convincing the fans there is nothing to worry about. The recruits don't get affected by one game. UW is in very good shape for all these guys. Lather, rinse, repeat. Eklund even slipped a statement into the recent, lukewarm report on Pelon about how he asked and the kid wasn't going to let one game or even multiple games affect his decision. It was important enough to Eklund to prove this to the board that he actually asked the fucking recruit for a statement on it. I couldn't believe what I was reading.

    One of two things will happen here. Either we exceed doog expectations and finish with 8 wins and the class finishes off decently as far as rating but still embarrassingly light on OL, or we finish with 6-7 wins and it's a train wreck reminiscent of Sark's first class.

    There will never, ever be a better time to replace Sark. The whole nation sees there is talent here and the job would be an upgrade to 90% of the head coaches in the country. Getting someone good should be a given. Recruits still have UW on their radar...Sark has been able to sell the program as an up and comer well enough that recruits pay attention. They just won't pull the trigger for a barely above .500 team that loses ugly to the other teams they're considering. A good, new HC could easily work with this situation and turn it to his advantage. I'd expect a recruiting bump this year, not a dip.

    It's time. I'm fully on board.

    All of this is true AND turfing Sark for being average tells the pussies in the fanbase that average isn't good enough anymore.

    You summed it up perfectly. I'm sure our AD will fuck this one up though. With a new QB, a smaller recruiting class, an easy first 4 games...this is a pitch right down the center of the plate.

    I'm also sure the villains at Doogman will push their access-saving mediocre agenda as much as possible. It would be hilarious if Mora was hired because we have all of the screenshots and quotes of Kim trashing him. He'd be fucking dead to rights and he knows it. The thought warms my heart.

    stop it with the fire Sark crap. It's hurting recruiting.

    He should get at least as long as Kiffen got at USC to turn the program around.

    Well played.

    Doogs that mock Kiffin for getting fired while supporting Sark are the absolute worst.

  • This recruiting class is going to suck no matter what due to low amount of schollies you can offer.

    However, if you bring back Sark then next years class will also suck. Having back to back shitty recruiting classes will hurt a program badly.

    If you fire him and the new coach comes in he can salvage this class. He can also hit up the local talent.

    I know Doogs love to tell me getting local talent doesn't matter but I call bullshit. Having Garnett starting at guard instead of Charles/Kohler and Jack at OLB so Shaq can play over Shamburger would make a huge difference.
