9-4

9-4 isn't a disaster. I'm not saying it's likely, but if they find a way to beat a team they're actually capable of beating on the road, it seems kind of realistic.
Even if they beat Puke/Md, NCS Wolves in the Sun Bowel or Naval in the processed cheese cures hunger bowl, they'll probably be ranked around 20th. I could be wrong, but that should sustain recruiting.
Next year, a trained monkey could almost coach the team to 8-6 or 9-5. I think Sark might be able to get to 10-4. 11-3 is probably a pipe dream, but weirder things have transpired.
There are cheap and stupid NFL (and college) teams out there. 10-4 will probably give Steve some interviews at least. He seems like the kind of enthusiastic, slick f*** who can fool people (especially people with limited budgets) in interviews, while other, less personable yet more qualified candidates getting ignored or don't make it to the second interview. I think this is the best chance we have of getting rid of the guy, other than going six and seven after losing to some worthless MAC squad. Personally I don't do the whole root for your team to lose coach gets fired/ they get a good pick.
As discussed preseason, 8-5 and maybe 7-6 are probably the worst case scenarios.

Can you pour gasoline on me?
Sark should have sat his fat ass next to Ricky at the P12 networks all season.
How will we get to those 5 conference wins?
I realize that the home/away schedule is better for us next year, but...
We will be a worse team.
UCLA will be better
ASU will be better
WSU will be better
Arizona will be better
Even Cal and Col will be better (can they be worse?)
The only teams that may slide are OSU, OU, and Stanford..
Who are we actually going to beat? The 5 wins per year mediocrity is bad enough, but the rest of the P12 is passing us by.
We hoard our 5 wins under the mattress like misers while the rest of the P12 is getting interest.
This year? He hasn't done anything! His best win is a home game (shocker I know) to a bad BSU team. Beating an Oregon State team that mirrors us, WSU at home, or Toledo Tech A&M in a bowl game doesn't mean anything.
Didn't the doogs themselves called the most talented team in the Sark era? I disagree with this by the way but it is always fun to use doog arguments against them. His first team had FOUR NFL starters on defense yet he had to bring his terrible frat buddy to come coach. His 2010 team had 8 guys who are on an NFL roster and that is my pick for his most talented team.
Even if we win 9, we will not have beaten a good team and our road woes continue. While a lot of the Dawg community will site progress, in reality it will be a +2 in win totals from Yr 2 with a shit bowl trophy in the case.
