Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
that he's in wait and see mode with Chris Petersen and the way he handles the Cyler Miles situation will determine his ultimate opinion of him. Not wins and losses, but how he handles one suspended kid. He also notes how Sark was always fair and consistent in his discipline.

Just like Hugh Millen's critique of Keith Price I would find annoying but the fact this is the same guy who gave Lockner a passing grade after going 4-20 against Nebraska just fucking annoys me.
I already know the Doogman script will be if Petersen god forbid goes 8-5 the narrative will be "See he's just not ready for big time football. Sarkisian had this program going the right way and it's too bad he left".
If Petersen wins 10 games or more"Well Sarkisian had the program going in the right direction and would have gone 11-2. He was basically 11-2 last year and 9-4 the year prior. He had the program going in the right direction and left Petersen with one of the most talented teams we have seen".
In every position preview Doogman has done so far they've made sure to point out how talented that group is that Sarkisian is leaving behind. I've never heard so much praise about a former coach in my life.
That about it?
Sark was always good for getting completely steamrolled at least twice per year. It just left you with the feeling that we were a good mediocre team, and that's all we were going to be.
Even if we beat usc in 2009 and stanford in 2011, I just never thought that he was assembling a team that would consistently be in every game. Never.
ASJ could have killed someone and luckily rams into a park. Sark leaves the situation dangling in the air until the night before the season opener.
Perkins and Willis (RIP) do whatever it is that got them kicked off the team (No Warning just gone). Then Sark only a few days later then reinstates them on the team.
No matter how inconsistent or similar our previous coach was to Petersen, they want an excuse to criticize them because they don't have their precious access.
Chris Petersen keeps Miles status internal through the first week of spring these douche nozzles get a sandy vag????
I hate our fan base.
You're reading a whole lot into his leadership abilities from one decision. You're assuming because he didn't exercise good leadership that doesn't mean he has leadership skills. I think that's a massive overassumption. Every good leader I know has been in situations where they made bad leadership choices. Sometimes a bad choice with major consequences like this is exactly what unleashes that leadership inside. It's certainly possible we'll see him make major leadership strides after this.
I'm not saying Miles is a great leader, I have no idea. But then, neither do you.
Leadership is a huge "skill" when it comes to playing the QB position. If you don't have it, you can't be a good one.
But on the other hand, what we do have is evidence that he didn't get himself or a teammate out of a bad position not once in an evening, but twice that led to an investigation and charges.
I also agree with you that he's got an opportunity to learn and improve from this. But at the same time, I'm not so sure that he will get that opportunity at the UW.
You are also right that many crash and burn and use those experiences to be better in the long run. But most of the time, the implementation of those learnings comes from a second or third opportunity.
Fuck.
Either way it will be interesting . . . Fuck me, I'm confused after reading that.
That, and he banned me from chat 20+ times for basically nothing and at least twice for saying damn.
DBs - thin. Marcus Peters then everyone else. Hoping Jermaine Kelly is a stud & counting on Budda Baker, an incoming freshman, to be answer at safety. That doesn't seem like abundance.
LBs - Shaq...yes, Feeney is a question mark. Can he stay healthy? Timu is still an avg tackler at best. Is there potential with Victor, O'brien, Bierra? Yes, but needs to be proven. Better than DBs but...
DL is fine. Mid-tier PAC-12 at worst...maybe 3 or 4 at best. I'll take it.
OL - return everyone. Run blocking was fine. Pass blocking sucked for 2 years at least. Any Improvement is the result of improved coaching. Sark gets no credit if the OL improves. Remember, going into last year they all said the OL would be better...I didn't see it. The big improvement was tempo and the ball coming out in 2 secs on bubble screens.
QB - talent with zero experience. How is that a better sichy?
WR - a mess without Kasen. String had a ton of potential but who knows. 2 scant backs and DiAndre Campbell...improvement?
RB - not better with Sankey leaving. Fact.
TE - unproven talent except Hartvingson who is service... I actually like the talent here.
I'm still optimistic for the season because the coaching will be better...and that's enough for me. I trust this staff more than any in a decade.
