ASU's Todd Graham on becoming bowl eligible: “We’re not interested in that. We’re interested in winning a championship."
How is ASU winning by the way? Graham is only in his second season. They have no coaching stability.

Fuck the doogs.
Jim Mora
Brian Kelly
Gary Patterson
Todd Graham
Kyle Whittingham
Brian Kelly
Is there a single name on that list you wouldn't take over Sark without hesitation?
Wait till Graham's 4th year when he goes a virtual 9-4.
Wait till Graham's 6th year when he's rotated half his crappy staff out and isn't forced to be pulling red shirts off freshmen who never play.
Paul Graham might be Jim Mora tuff one day if he keeps this up.
The point is, there were legitimate options outside of Mora and Brian Kelly (and Brian Kelly) that made much more sense at the time than Sark and would have far outperformed SWS up to this point.
This is all the "but who are you going to get who's any better" crowd needs to know. We had better options in 2008. We have better options now.
Fire Sark.
Sark is a great coach
Patterson said thanks but no thanks. He is actually paid really well for the size of the program there.
Kelly said no thanks
Mora they messed up with and really on all accounts should be the coach right now.
Graham I am not sure they considered (he was my top choice). I am not sure how good he is yet.
And Kelly did not want to come.
Total fucking sham from top to bottom. We overpaid for shit, instead of just paying market rate for good, which wound up being about 10 percent apart in salary, and 100 percent apart in wins.

Patterson has never been anxious to leave TCU since he gets paid like a good SEC program. He campaigned for the clemson job once. He has turned down inquiries from others through the years and now theyre in the big 12 and it turns out he is average.
Kelly was basically sitting and waiting for the Notre Dame job.
Those weren't the only two coaches to go after obviously and they could have done much better and thrown money at different people (IE Graham), but there weren't a lot of people looking to jump on at our shit program.

I agree with this and have gotten into disagreements over this before. In 2008, we weren't going to get a proven winner from a big school. I could not find an example of this happening with a 3 win team, let alone a 0-12 team. That would not be a problem anymore, but it was back then.
We should have gone after guys like Graham, Sumlin and other coaches who were doing well at smaller schools. I don't even mind the coordinator hire, but Sark had not even proven he was a good coordinator.

I agree. That is why I hope desperately that they make the move now and go out and find this year's bret bielma (Proven underpaid coach) or Deruyter (Up and coming?) and just pay them what it takes to get them here.
If they don't make the move this year I think there is a VERY good chance of the wheels falling off next year and having a 5-7 type year. The team will beat shitty teams at first, then the first of any adversity will turn into an avalanche for death watch 2014. We won't have sankey next year and I wouldn't be surprised to see our defensive staff jump ship also.
They aren't going to get highly sought after assistants to come to the school this off season as everyone will see it as Sark's win or get out year. That never works with a coach who never won in the first place.
