The Myth About Keeping Sark To Save Recruiting

Look no further than our buddy, Jim Mora at UCLA. When Rick Neuheisel was fired on Novemeber 29th, 2011, UCLA had 7 verbal commitments. UCLA had one 4*, three 3*'s, and three 2 *'s. Just like with UW now, there was really nothing to save.

Come signing day, UCLA finished with the #12 ranked class on Scout. Point is, if UW hired the right coach, we could still finish with a good recruiting class, probably much better than with a lame duck coach who can no longer sell the future. We are no longer a team on the rise. Four years in a row with at least four conference losses says it all. This is a team stuck in the mud. Recruits don't care about stadiums, facilities, and young coaches if those teams are not any good. Recruits want to play for winners.

  • Again these idiots are in a back handed way saying Scott Woodward shouldn't be A.D.

    If Pool Boy can hire a good coach then he should have no problem retaining this piss poor class and adding some good kids to the class.

    Recruiting isn't the problem anyways. Sark has had ranked classes every year but the team is still in the same spot as it was in 2010.

    We need a coach who can recruit well and can also coach up his kids. While Sark most of his kids regress over time.

    UW is still shoveling this shit about Woodward on gohuskies.com:

    Scott Woodward has been an innovative leader in sports, higher education and government for more than twenty-five years, building a national reputation as an executive with integrity who produces results.

    Doesn't seem he is behaving as an executive with respect to the football program. Nor is there any integrity. The only results have been a return to mediocrity. If he keeps Sark, then I hope he defaults on the bonds to build his shiny new stadium.

    I've pointed this out numerous times on dawgman as well as the fact that UCLA's recruiting class the year before that absolutely tanked after it was revealed that Rick would be back for another year. They literally lost more than half their recruiting class in the span of a week and had to finish by adding a bunch of James Atoes and Taylor Hindys

    The response: "That's UCLA. Anyone can recruit there. Mora didn't do anything special. And Rick was way worse at UCLA than Sark has been at UW. Totally different situations.

    He was given the job of Washington AD as a gift from his good friend UW President Mark Emmert for many years of loyalty to President Emmert. Mr. Woodward has enjoyed his new job as Husky AD which has also more than doubled his previous UW salary. Following this appointment Pres. Emmert immediately left the UW to pursue a more lucrative career with the NCAA.

    Fixed.

    The smart recruits that can get into a school like UW ("lol") have probably already noticed Sark's glaring mediocrity anyways.
