Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

What grade would you give Scott Woodward as a football AD?

    Your AD is still pretty much a complete fucktard. He got lucky with Sark, and made a good right decision hiring Peterman. I wonder if Peterman sought the job out rather than vice-versa. Financing facilities is what any competent AD should be able to do.

    Let it fucking play out with your basketball corch before you anoint this guy.

    Your opinion means less here than Ken Griswold's.

    Silly Q so forgive me in advance but, shouldn't the world's greatest recruiter, play caller and dude brah buddy coach achieve something higher than the conference's 7th place bowl game after he's gotten all his own guys in here and developed them for years, in order to receive an "A" grade?

    We aren't grading Sark. Work on your material. It's not good.

    Pretty much how I feel.

    There hasn't been just a smooth transition, it's been a desperately joyous change for those who haven't our heads up our asses!

    Another thing I love is that two potential All Pac-12 guys (Baker and McGary) would not be coming to Montlake unless Sloppy Steve was gone. Would venture to guess that Henry Roberts wouldn't really be looking at U Dub either...maybe Branch too (if he gets an offer).

    I wouldn't give him an A but he's closer to an A than B. I was thinking more like A-.

    Positives are stadium, upgrading Sark's staff and then letting Sark go and getting Petersen. The negatives are minimal such as changing the broadcast team and having questionable marketing.

    The Sark hire was mediocre but the investment in the new staff pushed UW into the top 20 (advanced metrics) in two years. A year ago I said his legacy or the decider would come down to how he handled Sark. We knew the likely outcome was Sark would win enough games not to get fired but not win enough to field a championship program.

    The key was having a smooth transition from Sark to something better that could take us to the championship level immediately. Although USC helped Woodward, he deserves huge kudos for letting Sark go and replacing him with Petersen.

    Sark leaving to USC was total luck.

    However, some of you aren't giving him nearly enough credit for snatching up Petersen or getting the stadium deal done.

    It probably wasn't 100%, gee-I-won-Publisher's-Clearinghouse luck. Sark was probably talking to HADENFS In October, or their people were talking to each other, and Woodward probably knew about it.
    It was luck that USC who could hire any coach they want and had plenty of months to get a head start settled on Sark.

    That was luck. Now the rest of what Woodward did he deserves credit. Deserves credit for never giving Sark an extension and obviously stealing Petersen deserves a lot of credit.

    No AD has stolen him, many have tried and failed. That alone earns him a passing grade.
    possibly disagree

    The effects of the reduced starships don't go away until 2017 or 2018. If you're Jack Del River or Kevin Sumlin, you're looking at some struggles for a few years. Some yrs. you might do fairly well if there aren't injuries, but eventually there will be since it's football. Some of those guys might have hesitated.

    On the other hand, Sark probably thinks he's hot shit, wants to move home, is eager to please, and is excited to just be at the West Coast fball power. We probably don't know what his salary is since its a private school, but he probably didn't demand shitkickin' $$$$$$EC $.

    I'm surprised Boobs gave him a B. I figured he'd give him a C at best.

    Good to see Fremont is the last one standing leading the resistance.

    SarkFS was a bad hire and Petersen on paper looks to be a good one so it evens itself out. Would have probably been a B if the MVP or the UW AD wasn't Pat Haden.

    Lil' Woody is easily the 2nd best AD in the pac.

    I'd say a solid B. The embarrassing moments preclude him from the A-range, but trending upwards.
