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.

Sorry, I don't have pictures.
But he will lose to better coaches.
9 wins a year with the once in a while 11 win season.
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.
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.
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.
