Was Sark a terrible hire? I submit that he was not.DerekJohnson said:
Once upon a time I was loudly derided on Dawgman for suggesting Sark was a terrible hire before he had a practice.CallMeBigErn said:DerekJohnson said:all the signs are showing that Lake is going to be a colossal bust
Saying this before he's had one practice is nutty.
So I submit that he's been your best hire this century.

Yeah, the drinking should have been vetted. He’s not the first coach that was a heavy drinker tho. He was brought in to recruit, bring energy, and had the bullshit rep as a QB guru.DerekJohnson said:
DJ said after the hire he made some calls and within 48 hours heard about the substance abuse issues, immaturity and problems controlling his emotions. It wasn't understood why Emmert and Woodward didn't do their due diligence.RoadDawg55 said:
I’m kind of in the camp that 0-12 and Tyrone made it pretty nearly impossible to hire a proven coach. Sark was a bust, but the idea of hiring him wasn’t bad.CallMeBigErn said:

The one thing that could be said on behalf of your argument is that Woodward attempted to contact Petersen but Pete wouldn't return his calls.
But I would counter that by saying that Woody was an upper campus bureaucrat who had been recently installed as AD and had no credibility.
It didn’t work out, but pulling a coordinator from a natty contender is a common move for schools that are shitty. We had gone like five years without a bowl game and were coming off 0-12.
I also see the other side and don’t think it was very hard for a coach to get us back to .500 or better in the first year and competing for conference titles by year 3-4. -

Might as well have brought in Erickson. He beat Sark every time.
