Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Who said it: Sark or Mora?
"The delicate balance is managing those expectations. We're only in the second year of our program. And we started nine true freshmen today. And we're building something here, and it's going to be special, but it's a process and it's going to take time."

"We're close but it doesn't matter. We're not after being close. Heck with being close. Losers can be close. We want to get it. We want to win those games. The coulda, the woulda, the shoulda -- all that crap, we don't want that. I'm tired of that. It's time for (insert school) to turn the freaking page and be something different and win those games. That's what it's time to be."
Hint - it wasn't Sark in year 5, it was Mora in year 2.
hth
Mora is a better coach, but as I have been saying for weeks, caring what anyone says in a press conference or interview is doogish.
If Sark makes it to 9 wins you'll be dooging it up worse than Auburndoog.
Here is Mora's post game Colorado press conference. Read what the author has to say.
"Making excuses after a lackluster win against one of the worst teams in the conference (while taking commitments from Dorrellian offensive recruits) is not exactly what we had in mind during Mora's second year in Westwood."
"Mora's coachspeak is fine but it's a little unsettling to see him downplaying ("managing") expectations seven games into this year given it was himself who talked about this season being an "opportunity" to break through. And, also the comments about the "juices" flowing in the second half doesn't mean all that much given that this is not the first time his team has looked disinterested and uninspiring in the first half (check back the replays of the Nevada, New Mexico State and UC Berkeley games)."
I like Mora, I think he is much better than Sark, but why does this site pump up everything good he does, and push it aside when he doesn't?
This
Its fucking stupid at this point
I am willing to let it play out through year 3 but so far he looks to be good but not great.
Say or don't say whatever the hell you want. Just win. Kick Ass pressers after losses are for losers too. No matter what is said after the loss.
Ugh.
It's about pushing back on the idea that Mora is some transcedant coach. That he's above excuse-making and tempering expectations and kick ass pressers.
The reality is that Mora is just another guy. He uses the same coach speak, he makes the same excuses. He's average. And not UW's savior.
Woody is pool boy. Sark is Dude or Surfer Brah.
