    But there’s booze in the blender. And soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps us doogs hold on.

    In Chuck Knox's autobiography (RIP), he talked about how if you see him on the sidelines, he is surrounded by the same old familiar faces year after year. Some of them tracing all the way back to his Juniata days in Pennsylvania. He said you surround yourself with people you trust and it's better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
    This is the same shit as Oregon keeping the same coaches for 30 years. It's only good if it's good. Being rigid about it gets you fucking Helf and Gilby. It's only better the devil you know if it's fucking better.

    edit: and obviously Chuck Knox was good at it.

    Agreed. That got Cal fans in an uproar. Now they just expect it since they went radio silent when Oregon took their DC.

    Difference kinda being that DeRuyter didn't get a text in Shaq's living room and start recruiting him to UW while wearing a CAL hat.

    For the record I'm not saying I fully agree with it. But Roadies'c comments reminded me of the quote.

    This post probably ranks on the Hardcore Husky Cool Story Bruh Mount Rushmore.
    Not a big deal really. Guy probably just had a thing for Asians.

    I knew Nick Holt’s brother in law on a friendly level. I was wearing a UW coat walking out of a gas station and after commenting on coat and asking where I was from, he told me that he was Holt’s wife’s brother. I was drunk, shot the shit with him for a bit, and he was impressed with my knowledge of his brother in law and the UW program in general. He invited me to watch a game at his house. I also went to the bar with him once.

    He told me the post game parties after victories were incredible. He went in being skeptical about Sark (he was a very blue collar guy), but had nothing but good things to say about him. He said anything you could want was there and Sark was very generous. This was in 2010 so I didn’t hate Sark yet. I didn’t hate Holt either because at the end of 2010, the defense was playing pretty good.
    Anything? Skinny hookers and blow?

    It's a great strategy if you're capable of coaching up your coaches and they continue to grow with you.

    It's a horrible strategy if you're just good at throwing post game patron parties that impress your DC's blue collar brother-in-law.

    Enjoy stopping by Dawgman to revisit the many great things Sark and Holt "accomplished" at UW

    Great to see HardcoreHusky® message board enthusiastically providing the same service.

    Go Dawgs!

    His demons are behind him. This is a grand slam hire.
    Sincerely,

    Greatest coaching move ever? You are conveinantly ignoring Jimmy poaching the Jacksonville Jaguars RB coach… now look at them….

    I wouldn't have a problem with Sark if he would've at least finished the job against Stanford and not shit his fucking pants against UCLA and ASU who were there to be had. And won whatever upgraded bowl game he got. FTG
