    The worst part is that 6-5 Duck team deserved a bowl more than any of Sark's teams have.

    The team that almost got James fired in 1988 was better than any of Sark's teams too.

    Oregon St and Hawaii approve this post.

    Fun fact I just looked up about James 1988 team that almost got him fired. In those 5 losses the Huskies lost by a combined 15 points.

    Biggest loss of the year was to #2 UCLA 24-17. So James in the year that almost got him fired(who knows how close it really was) was pretty unlucky and we probably could have won 8-9 games that year.

    While Sark has yet to have a season where the Huskies have outscored their opponents.

    In my heart that '88 team went 9-2

    Difference between the coaches is Sark actually thinks his team last year was 9-4. Meanwhile James didn't look at his team as a team who caught breaks but instead decided he needed to make some coaching adjustments and changes to his program.

    I don't think James was in any serious trouble. He declined a raise. It was an integrity move; One I doubt Sark would make.

    Of course, he bought himself a cushion with all the good teams he had. There were a few Rose Bowls & a few top 10 finishes... a bunch of top 20 finishes... Those always help.

    I also don't think he was in serious trouble because back then we had a good A.D. in Mike Lude. A lesser A.D. and he might have been fired.

    Like I pointed out the team was 6-5 but when you lose 5 games by a combined 15 points you just had an unlucky year.

    While Sark going 7-6 is the complete opposite. He was LUCKY to be 7-6 and in 2011 and especially in 2010 his Pythagorean W-L was like 4 to 5 wins.

    Kind of like how I said in the other thread, 8-5 is only good if you blowout teams in your wins and then you have close losses. You dismissed that in the other thread as doogish.

    DJ had a track record though.

    I never said that year was good. Just illustrating how that was rock bottom for James was still better than any Sark season.
