    The fuck is he doing in Jacksonville? I know he’s got kids and it’s quarantine... but still not a good sign in my opinion.

    What would be one's motivation to watch this video?

    Probably.

    Not a dynamic personality based on the video.

    Minimal football stuff. I think focusing on concepts that can be moved in space to keep plays simple but formations dynamic is good.

    I am concerned that after spending four years as assistant to the running backs coach of an NFL team he doesn't think there is room to innovate in the running game.

    I am glad he thinks you do need to be able to run the ball and pick up tough yards.

    The fuck do you want him to do, be in Seattle away from his family just to be doing the exact same shit working remotely?

    If innovation means handing Lindquist the ball in the wildcat, I'll take the boring pitch to Newton off of left tackle any day.

    No shit. 49ers? Hello?

    Still, LIPO. I'm not gonna get too bent about this shitty interview.

    Nobody innovates in the NFL.

    Football innovation takes place primarily at the HS level, trickles up to college and after 30 or 40 years might get to the NFL.

    The NFL is conservative as fuck.

    This is my biggest concern with Jimmy's NFL fetish. You aren't getting new ideas by hiring from the NFL. They might have better drills or understanding of film study but they don't have fresher playbooks.
    @dnc is dialed the F in. I'd say there's more and faster cross pollination between high school & college though.

    49ers offense is built off the zone run, Shanahan’s Dad has been using it since the 90’s. Not super innovative, just extremely well executed and playcalled.

    Ravens are using the pistol, which originated from college.

    Most other good teams use a watered down pro spread, which originated from college.

    Closest thing to innovation in the NFL is what the Saints are doing with Taysom Hill

    McVeigh is closer to innovative than Shannahan but still those guys aren't innovating anything, they are just innovative for the NFL.

    1000 times this. 2016 a little less innovation would have been great on 2nd and 1. 2019 Oregon, a little less innovation would have been great a few times. Hell, 1990, a little less innovation on 1st and goal from the 7 would have been great.

    Pound the ball!

    Innovative? He hasn’t done shit since 1995.


    Time gets a bad rap.

    OKC deserves another bombing.

    all the signs are showing that Lake is going to be a colossal bust



    Saying this before he's had one practice is nutty.
    Once upon a time I was loudly derided on Dawgman for suggesting Sark was a terrible hire before he had a practice.
    Was Sark a terrible hire? I submit that he was not.

    I submit that he was an awful hire without need if hindsight. He wasnt even an accomplished OC at the time he was hired. He had nothing, absolutely nothing, on his resume indicating qualification for any head coach job, let alone one at a traditional power program.

    He turned out a little bit better than I expected when he was announced, but that's not saying much.

    I’m kind of in the camp that 0-12 and Tyrone made it pretty nearly impossible to hire a proven coach. Sark was a bust, but the idea of hiring him wasn’t bad.

    We had just come off an 0-12 season and were one of the worst programs in the universe, not just on Earth. No, Seven-Win Sark did not win championships, but he certainly recruited pretty well, bringing talent into the program that helped us to a playoff berth. He was a decent stepping stone. A world-beater, he was not, but a terrible hire he was not either. He had more top 10 wins than Pete.

    Are you joking?

    Sark did less with more. Think about that. He had peak USC talent and Pete Carol’s defenses as OC and they still managed to lose games they had no business losing. And it was always a no show on offense that did it. Cost USC multiple national championship bids.

    The whole “QB guru” thing was always bullshit too. Anyone could have coached the slew of talent at USC and been a success. Does a guru turn Jake Locker into a pocket passer instead of tailoring the offense around his skill set? Does a guru let Keith Price’s knees get shattered for his own marginal career gains (what a cool Alamo Bowl loss, man!). Does a guru recruit a strong of bust QBs?

    Sark was allegedly a recruiting master too. But even a non TBSer like me can look at his classes and see how top heavy they were with multiple 4* QBs and WRs but next to nothing in the trenches. Boring ass Pete was a better recruiter than Sark. With the exception of a handful of big names like Shaq, all his best guys were local talent that UW gets 99% of the time anyways.

    Zero HC experience. Look at how Sark managed his staff. He was a glorified OC that took no interest in the other 2 phases of the game.

    Personality ...

    Where to even begin...Sark has the personality of a frat boy that works at a car dealership and thinks he’s a big timer. He and Johnny Nansen are two of the biggest pieces of shit I’ve ever met in my life.

    Fuck you for making me THINK and CARE about this again. Fuck Sark. He was a shit hire. He was a shit coach. He was a shit person. The results speak for themselves .

    I need a drink...
    Yeah, but how do you feel about Sark?
    Ok. That made me laugh.

    He wasnt qualified. There are dozens of established head coaches out there at lower tier schools who would have dropped their meager salaries in a heartbeat to come to UW and try their hand at restoring a program that still had resources and prestige in spite of the mismanagement.
