From this excellent Columns article:
What does your decision to take the UW job say about where you’re at in your career?

I’ve known about the tradition and history of this program and had been such an admirer. All the things that I have gone through in my career have really established a strong philosophy of what’s important. The University of Washington really represented that. The people that support this place, the passion, and just the power of this place added up to be something that I wanted to be a part of.

    Fuck those idiotic Doogs ...

    At some point you'd think people would realize that we're Washington DAMNIT.

    Not to jack the thread but I think Petersen is going to kill it overall and get off to a fast start with a better than expected season this year. The national consensus is 9-10 wins and some husky fans might think we can go 11-3. I think we go 12-2. Read between the lines in what many players have said. I think they play harder and better and I think the team will be closer together than last year. If Petersen is coaching last year we might have gone 11-2 instead of 9-4.

    Yea I don't see a Petersen coached team losing a game due to piss poor kickoffs like Sark did at Stanford. UCLA was really there for the taking but Sark was too immature of a coach to pull that one off. Down 10 with about 8 minutes to go facing a 4th and 2 on your 40? Easy call there but Sark not only goes for it but he has his backup QB throw a slant to Stringfellow who prior to that game wasn't seeing a ton of playing time.

    I have to question these "great" fans as well. For being such "great" fans these Doogs sure as fuck don't know our schedule. Every time I predict 10 wins I'm being treated like I'm such fucking lunatic for predicting Petersen will have us winning one more game than last year.

    I saw KrisvashonFS on her twitter say Petersen should win coach of the year if he goes 9-4. I see most Doogs are saying 8 wins as you can't expect a first year coach to just come in and win right away.

    I also think the Doogs are secretely hoping for 8 wins so they can go "See told you it takes time, told you Sark wasn't the problem". The Doogs loyalties to Sark far outweighs their loyalties to UW.

    I know for a fact if Kim could choose 8-5 or 10-3 he'd choose 8-5.

    Shit, Kim would take 5-8 if it meant full access to the players and coaches, that guy cares more about his own inflated ego than watching a winning team.

    For my sake I hope this pans out as spectacularly as the Doogs on this forum expect. I don't wan't to be inconvenienced by all the Aurora bridge divers when you go 8-4.

    Met a couple of the players recently. One of them said they just couldn't really "buy in" with Sark and said the change with the coaching staff has been fantastic.

    Did every player speak about the difference?
    Stringfellow sure did. Hearing Petersen is just like Ty. Now I didn't say he is just like Ty just said he is acting just like Ty.

    Learn the fucking difference already.

    Shit, Kim would take 0-13 if it meant full access to the players and coaches, that guy cares more about his own inflated ego than watching a winning team.

    I don't have much to add to this other than how pumped I am for this season with what feels like a completely different team. To go from this:

    (after 08) "On his way out of Pullman to the airport, Woodward pulled over where no one else was around and screamed into a field."

    ...to the article posted. UW finally gives a shit about football again something the alumni/students and especially the fans deserve.

    The fact they won nine games and had to deal with 7 less feet in elevation....you guys are lucky Sark even coached here at all.

    Meh. This is just classic confirmation bias. It's telling because we want it to be telling. But these exact comments are made by players every single time there's a regime change. Sometimes they're telling, sometimes they're not. Time will tell.

    Either way it will be interesting.

    What will be interesting will be the reaction from many at the other site if Peterson does win 11 games and Sark falls flat in some very winnable games as he did here and USC has a less than stellar season. My guess is that there would be the normal enabling excuses having to do with sanctions and so forth, never mind that USC has better talented freshmen each year sitting on the bench than many in the conference have as seniors.

    I'm hearing PhilBleenor knew Sarkgasm would be a shitty coach since before Jason Chorakkk sacked him 23 times in Husky Stadium in 1996.

    Stop being a twister.

    Will people stop bringing up Sark losing down at USC while Petersen is winning at UW.

    First of all, Sark left Petersen with a much better program. You Sark bashers should be thanking him from pulling his program out of the 0-12 hole to the point where any coach can just come in here and coach that team. While Sark took over for Lane Kiffin who ran that program into the ground. Sark needs to change the culture down there while Petersen doesn't as Sark left him a well oiled machine.

    Second, injuries. Sark lost his backup long snapper. You can't survive without a backup long snapper. Once you find that out the season makes a lot more sense.

    Third, Sanctions. Petersen has the luxury of having a full 85 while Sarkisian doesn't. Impossible to win when you don't have a full deck.

    Now I know some of you will go twisting claiming I'm bashing on Petersen. I'm not so let's stop that now. However, to ignore the amazing talent that Sark left him is unfair to Sark. I think talent wise this team could beat the 1991 Huskies. Not saying they would beat the 1991 Huskies but Sark left him a team capable of beating the 1991 Huskies.


    Some dumb fuck broke his nose then played through it.
    Kim impressions aren't your forte, leave it to Road or someone else.

    I was pretty spot on with my satire. Stick to telling us how Mike Leach is going to make a Rose Bowl........

    Funny how Kiffin is a shitty coach and the players hate him, but you RARELY heard sanctions as an excuse. It was all Layla Kiffin. But when Sark wins 8 games including 2 that he pisses away himself, the sanctions excuse will be resurrected from the dead even though Sarktard only has to deal with the tail end of it.

    God I hate our fans. Can you imagine SCfs fans saying it's OK Kiffin isn't going to Rose Bowls because John Robinson never had to face a RANKED Oregon State and the Arizona schools weren't serious about football? FYFMFOF.

    This is why it's going to be fun to see Sark get a giant dose of reality check. Better enjoy it while we can as at most he'll last four years there. I think only three myself.

    They'll get tired of sloppy play, excuse making, being unprepared, personally cost his team 2 games a year, more excuse making, throwing others under the bus, etc.

    Unlike our pussy ass fan base and media they won't tolerate that shit down there. Hell a lot of USC fans were pissed at that hire so he has to win them over quickly as their fan base is divided.
