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?

    Positives:
    Stadium...hadn't seen it but the response has been positive.
    Wasn't sold on Peterman considering the last 2 Boise St. coaches that moved on, but coming around.

    Negatives:
    Hired Sark for outrageous sums of unnecessary money in 2008...absolutely idiotic hire at the time, and even dumber considering how much he paid him.
    Extended Sark in 2010 for even larger sums of money after a 7-6 season.
    Put up with Sark's crap for 5 years.
    Paid Nick Holt god knows how much money for being incompetent.
    Part of the group of ADs that brought in Utah and Colorado (per his bio) to the Pac 10.
    Was acting AD starting in Jan '08, full-time AD starting Sept '08, yet Ty still had a job till the end of Oct @‌ when everyone and their mother saw it was a cluster from year 1 (2005). The team quit on Ty from day 1 of that season, yet little Woody either didn't see it or knew and didn't act on it. Either case is damning to him.
    Number of Rose Bowls in his tenure: 0
    Number of Top 20 finishes in his tenure: 0
    Number of times we have finished winless in a season under him: 1 (first time in Pac since '80 Beavers?)

    Win baby...we do that and he might start looking better. If not maybe he can be a stunt double for Peter Dinklage on Game of Thrones.

    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.

    He is B or B- ish ... But ... He is trending upwards. His recent football efforts are A material.

    Needs a BB coach ...

    As a football ad he's a solid B. When you add basketball he's probably a C-, IMO

    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.
