All I can say is all of his hires are absolutely mystifying. They look like Oregon State moves. This is WARSHINGTON DAMNIT!
If he succeeds then great, but early signs point to epic flameout and he will have nobody to blame but himself. Hiring guys nobody else wants because you think you have some magic stuffed up your ass that nobody else has is a rookie mistake. Jimmy is a rookie. In summation, we're fucked. -
If that was your takeaway, I just can’t help you.MikeDamone said:
Might as well get on board now...ThomasFremont said:Here’s my problem with the Sark comparison...
1. Sark had USC/Pete Carol glory years talent and their offense constantly held them back from winning as many titles as they ought to have. Every year they laid an egg that cost them a game which cost them a spot in the title game.
2. UWs issues have been 100% on the offensive side of the ball. Jimmy has had the best defense in the league every year. He had a young D replacing 9 starters with tackling dummies for ILBs and was still ranked in the top 25 nationally in defense. So he has proven that he knows his side of the ball.
3. For all the sizzle Sark got as a recruiter, Jimmy is better. Even a non TBSer like me knows that.
4. For all of Sark’s QB guru nonsense, none of his guys did shit in the NFL. While Lake’s DBs are getting drafted high and playing at a high level. And some of those were not top recruits. He develops talent. Sark exploited talent. Nobody ever got better under Steve fucking Sarkisian.
5. I’m out of things to say, but a 5th reason is expected. Jimmy could still suck, but he’s not Sark. Ok now I’ve got one...Lake appears to be a hard worker, whereas Sark was a Peter Pan syndrome frat boy with major substance abuse problems and no moral compass. It’s hard to outwork the competition when you’re nursing a hangover AND ghosting your mistress while your wife and kids look at you funny at the breakfast table.
Calling someone “Sark” is a grave insult in my book, and I am gonna wait until we are trailing Michigan in the 1st quarter before I unload that bomb. -
And now people are freaking out about the lack of sizzle. It's about time that we just admit sizzle is the juice that keeps us going.Houhusky said:When everyone was jerking off initially about BIG DICK Jimmy @MikeDamone and I were pointing out people were jerking of to a lot of sizzle.
Now we have idiots on here saying recruiting is more important than coaching like we’re living in some weird ass Sark timeloop. -
THIS. I was going to post the same thing. Of course I think Sark is an overrated dip shit, but developing QBs is a whole other matter than "developing" DBs. The latter is much more a function of inherited athletic ability than it is development.RoadDawg55 said:Good post Freeme, but it’s hard to develop a good NFL QB. There are only about 10 of them that are consistently good. If Mayfield and Kyler Murray are never any good does it make Lincoln Riley any less of a QB developer? Look how good Hurts was this year too, despite the LSU game.
I don’t think Sark is a great QB developer, but he’s certainly not bad and can claim that every QB that started for him except Price was a pro. It’s what he definitely does best and is probably his greatest asset as a coach.
As time has passed, I can recognize that Sark is an above average OC. He’s always had elite talent when he’s been an OC, which makes it easier, but the results are there. Still think he’s a shitty coach but our hatred for him and his bullshit has masked that fact.
