Ignore the Sark Hype coming in 3... 2... 1...

Knuckleheads will say how great Sark is today landing Adoreme Jackson and Damien Mommy Wants Me to go on My Mission. Sark didn't do it. USC did it. It's their brand power.

Over the last 40 years, USC has had 2 great coaches and pretty good third (McKay, Carroll, and Robinson) and they won. UW has had 1. When Carroll took over, there were several 1st Rounders already there, and they still were mediocre. I'd wager heavily that Sark will never be considered in the same breath as those previously mentioned coaches. The lesson for winning:

COACHING MATTERS

I'll take Coach Petersen any day.

Sark will likely have a mythical #1 recruiting class at USC, and all prolly in the top 5. Won't mean shite on the field though so who cares?

Certain quarters will be blowing this horn soon... you can bet on it.

Sorry, I don't have pictures.

Sark will win with the talent he has.

But he will lose to better coaches.

9 wins a year with the once in a while 11 win season.

Over / Under on Sloppy Steve's season there has to be 4.5...maybe even as low as 3.5?

Agreed that Petersen is a significant coaching improvement for Husky Football and he hasn't yet coached a game, obviously.

You can wager whatever on Trojan coaching heritage, but always remember that at least until he gets fired at SC, Sark will always be a head football coach-in-training and anything unlikely is still possible.

The guy is not a bad coach ... he's just not great.

If you take a step back and look objectively ... Sark is/was young when took the program over.

He was essentially named CEO of a small cap corporation at age 34.

He finished with an average record.

Candidly, if he wasn't so lazy and didn't worry about drinking ... he probably could be good.

He has the execution problem.

He can see the vision, but he can't execute it.

Sark took a lot of fucking Db's for only having 15 ships to hand out... I would take points away from his ranking

AEB

Already the chatter at Doogie is about his class and whether it's him or not... Predictable.

He was young when he took over. No doubt. But, he still lacks attention to detail from a management perspective as evidenced by the penalties and poor road play.

Pretty hard to reinvent yourself as a disciplinarian at 39.

Some things look better for Sark on paper than on the field
