7WS Head Coaching Statistics

Yup. Sark is not an elite head coach. If UW truly wants to run with the big DaWgs and return to excellence, they're gonna have to shell out 3.5-4 mill./year and hire an elite HC.

I don't understand why I hear all of this optimism for next season either. A mediocre HC just doesn't miraculously turn into an elite HC, from one season to the next. Especially after four consecutive seasons of consistent mediocrity. Okay, so, for next season:

1) We have a QB who is an absolute shell of his former 2011 self, w/ zero confidence (arguably the most important characteristic of a successful QB), a new found turnover propensity and gimpy wheels. Behind him, our QB experience equates to a whopping five collegiate passing attempts, all against an FCS opponent.
2) Our line play on both sides of the ball is embarrassing in year four of this shitshow... some of our defensive lineman look smaller than old school Husky LBs/Safeties, no pass rush and they get manhandled every week. Our OL is no where near where it should be in year four. Sark and Co. seem to ignore the elite line recruits, but they are just as, if not more, important than elite skill recruits. We haven't signed a single four star OL recruit since the 2010 class. Not one!
3) Aside from Sankey, ASJ and Kasen, we do not have one proven play maker on offense.
4) We enter the 2013 season on a 2 game losing skid.

But hey, we're gonna compete for a conference championship next year, Folks! Give me a fucking break. Does anybody genuinely believe we have a chance, any chance @ all, @ beating UNike next season? Because until we get to that point, we're a mediocre football program.
