    That spot seemed weak, but the bigger blown call IMO was the non-call on the blatant block in the back that gave Boise that huge return to start the drive.

    Jesus Christ, I can't believe after reading the article, that you boneheads are arguing about a fucking spot of the ball, not about the overall issues with Sark! Yes, he may have screwed up that specific call, but is that what made the team get crushed 4 times this year, then play like pussies against WSU/BSU? Now, can we get back to the gist of the article?

    Sark is not the coach that's going to take us to the next level, that's painfully obvious to me. How about you knuckleheads?

    Larry said in his original post in this thread that Sark is making the same mistakes in Year 4 that he did in Year 1, and that he doesn't think he's going to get better. I think that's a pretty good indication that he doesn't think Sark is the guy. He was just pointing out yet another example of where Sark is failing; the blowouts have been discussed at length many times, and Larry was bringing up another point where Sark is crapping himself continually instead of learning from previous mistakes.

    BAMA, I understand the OP's point, but to have over 50% of the posts on this thread be about that specific situation, to prove the point that Sark makes the same mistakes over and over is....?

    Sark has shown very little ability to change his ways. The discipline is so lacking it's pathetic, as is the lack of toughness (physical and mental) of the team. And as DJ pointed out, the bodies of the team is underwhelming.

    The specific situation they're talking about isn't to singularly prove that Sark is a jackass; it's just yet another example of how he just doesn't appear to be the guy to get the program to the next level. This situation is just the latest incident de jour. You won't find Larry or anyone else here disagreeing with anything you say; he's said it plenty of times before, and is just pointing out this situation as further evidence for a case that has already been built.

    The reason there's a focus on that play is because 15 second stretches of video that crystallize exactly why a coach is not up to the job are actually very rare. If I were arguing that the officials robbed UW and focused on the ball spot to support that, you might have had a point. That would be a clear case of whistling past the graveyard. No, that discussion was focused completely on Sarkisian's mismanagement of the situation, and its consequences.

    This issue at the end of the LV Bowl was a case in point explaining why Sarkisian is not the guy, and never will be. Never can be is probably more accurate. I'm not sure it's something he can learn; the guy just doesn't have head coach DNA. Anybody with a reasonable feel for the game would have managed that situation in a manner that at least put the team in a position to win.

    That's the larger arc I think you're looking for, and that's what the spot discussion was all about. It was Sark in a nutshell: The man is a piss poor game manager with horrendous instincts, which turns him into a heavy liability that has to be overcome, even in games where the team is otherwise competitive.

    Sark is putting out a mediocre, soft product. They lack physicality and a killer instinct. That's the problem in a nutshell.

    Fair enough. I just felt the discussion was stagnant, and didn't hit all of the points of contention with Sark.
    Again, Sark IMO is a mediocre coach, and will get us mediocre results. Sucks.
