    Sark is the youngest of 7 children...that explains so much. No wonder he thinks he can get whatever he wants just because he's hip, cool, and brought UW back from Owen12.

    "Pat Haden, USC’s athletic director, was a quarterback, too. He picked Sarkisian largely on feel."

    Well he certainly didn't pick him because of his conference record.

    "Pat Haden, USC’s athletic director, was a quarterback, too. He picked Sarkisian largely on feel. Sarkisian was 34-29 in five years at Washington, not bad considering the Huskies were 0-12 the year before he got there."

    You left out that bit about Owen12. Don't be a twister.
    That Oakland HC job in 2007 though, he stayed the fuck away from that. Good move too since he had no chance of a >.500 record in the NFL w/ Al Davis's team.

    Sark is obviously a BYU troll trying to make the Pac-12 look bad.

    here's the answer to all those amazing decisions on critical plays we witnessed during the Sark Dynasty:

    “People ask when you should call a shot play downfield. I can’t tell you. You just know when the timing is right. You trust your preparation and your coaches, and you understand that the opposing coach is coaching, too. And the last decision can’t affect the next decision.”

    tl:dr version - he gets out-coached every fucking time.

    I think DJ (ILTCDDJIWILTD) can answer this but I think I read an article on the real DJ (the coach, not the bitter and political author) stated that each off-season, he and his coaching staff game-planned every decision, every play in multiple situations so that in the heat of a game, DJ (again the coach, not the bitter and political author) knew what call he would make.

    Meanwhile, Seven goes with gut feel and based on his physique, that leaves him a wide range of options.

    Yes that is correct. The preparation was exhaustive.

    Sark is such a dumbass. He's not fit to be a head coach. He is obsessed with play calling. The head coach should be setting the tone and instilling toughness and discipline. If you don't have that, even the greatest play calling won't cover it.

    Play calling is overrated. There are going to be good calls and bad calls. When I watch the '91 team on tape, the play calling was conservative and even predictable. Same with Alabama under Saban. Remember their first title under Saban against Texas.

    That game still makes me sick. Texas would have won that game if Colt McCoy hadn't gotten hurt in the first quarter.

    If this is the kinda sunshine the LA media is pumping up Sark's ass, USC fans are going to be so fucking disappointed. Really hard hitting article, this.
