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

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

Once upon a time I was loudly derided on Dawgman for suggesting Sark was a terrible hire before he had a practice.CallMeBigErn said:DerekJohnson said:all the signs are showing that Lake is going to be a colossal bust
Saying this before he's had one practice is nutty. -

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.CallMeBigErn said:

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.CallMeBigErn said:

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.chuck said:

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 .

Yeah, but how do you feel about Sark?ThomasFremont said:

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.CallMeBigErn said:
