Email from a UW Booster about Sark and Woodward

This was a booster's response to my comment that Sark basically stopped recruiting in mid-October as he began plotting his escape to USC. (Reprinted with permission.)
If so, his assistant coaches had to aware of the decision. Peter Sirmon was the Recruiting Coordinator. There had to have been a concerted effort to slow the recruiting efforts down. After all, the UW had the fewest number of commits, to date, of ANY D-1 school. It would suggest that all of the assistant coaches, unless totally naive, would have been aware of the plans. Woody and some of the more influential supporters should be embarrassed for being so blinded by their loyalty to Sark. Now, two of our highly rated commits have flipped to USC. Sark's loyalty to the UW and display of character was non-existent. Frankly, the whole situation disgusts me.

And now here we are seeing more and more comments like the one above. We were right and the truth is finally coming to the forefront.
Sark is a total sleezebag.
People who were loyal to him got played.
Anyone still proclaiming loyalty to Sark is a fool.
I kept saying over and over first chance Sark gets he is bailing out of here to USC or the NFL so why be so loyal to him?
I remember Doogs telling me "You can't fire Sark, what if he's the next Saban?". Which I would always counter even if he is this next great coach it won't ever be for UW.
It's sad how those pro Sark fans are now pinning this crappy class on Petersen, even hearing "Funny how all you anti Sark guys couldn't wait for him to leave and now we have a crappy recruiting class now cause you got your wish".
Nevermind, Sark fucked us like Ty did during 2008 when both realized they weren't coming back they stopped recruiting. That was my big argument on why you had to fire him after the Apple Cup last year, I was like in year five he'll either prove himself and LEAVE! or he'll fail and thus be fired. Either way he won't be recruiting at all.
I'm glad we ended up with Petersen but leading up to that hire Woodward looked totally incompetent as an A.D. I'm thinking his hiring of Petersen was more like Emmert hiring Saban which is to say pure ass luck.
He's gone.
If Petersen is who we think he is none of this matters.
How long before we hear " you have no idea the damage sark did" from Kim?

Never liked the guy will enjoy his demise in socal. But what does he care??? He can pay straight cash homie.....
I've read and heard a few things indicating that Sirmon was Sark's kind of sleaze bag. Funny I've always thought of Lupoi as a bit of a sleaze bag, but I'm getting the sense now that he was the lesser of the two. Sirmon earned the title of recruiting coordinator for a reason.
