Your final grade for Sark?

C
He was a B recruiter, a D game day coach, and a C developer.
There's no excuse for the Washington coach to be anything but an A in all of the above. I'm pretty sure we will see A level performance in all three aspects for the next few years and everyone is going to say "I told you not to sleep on Pete!" -

First of all, he was not a B recruiter. He was a B recruiter at getting the guys he wanted (maybe even a B+), but he was below average at identifying who to put his efforts into. The in state and OL recruiting neglect were inexcusable. Overall he's maybe a C+ recruiter.
His overall coaching probably was around a D+. He won more conference games than he lost (barely), but only thanks to the presence of Colorado and Utah - his conference performance was average, at best. And he wasn't coaching a dreck school, he was coaching at WASHINGTON, dammit, where an average coach should get above average results. Outside of recruiting he's below average at everything that matters - discipline, player development, decision making, prioritizing.
He's lucky he had owen12 to prop him up and give everyone the illusion he had accomplished something.

He did bring the program from unparalleled depths (6 years of worthlessness) but failed to elevate the program to where it should be. He lead us to some great wins and some mind-numbing losses. He did leave the program in great shape for Petersen, so that's a bonus. -

Wasn't ready to be a head coach.

Perfect example of the Peter Principle. -

Sark is the greatest coach to ever grace the sidelines of Husky Stadium. It's a shame that an unproven coach will now be given credit for the foundation he set and the personal sacrifice he made for UW.
As Sark returns USC to Carroll'esque glory, HHB's will regret the day they drove him away. The crime in all this is that they will never be held accountable for the permanent damage they've caused the program as they hid behind their anonymity.
