Softy: "Sark just needs signature win!"

All I hear is ASJ's suspension; how will Keith Price play this year; our stable of RBs; and Shaq Thompson and the LBs. That's it. Nothing about Danny Shelton being the only decent interior DL in Sark's 5 years. Potoa'e, Banks, and Lagafuaina all suck shit.
The first Seattle sportswriter, sports DJ, or anyone else in the mainstream media that stresses Sark's poor record of recruiting and developing interior DLs and OLs will have my respect. Until then, they're all just part of the problem.

His only signature win was against Stanford in 2012. Those other years you can't count according to FleenorFS.

By the way, a "signature win" is one that turns the direction of the program, and elevates the quality of play to a new level. That hasn't happened. Sark has turned no corner. 2009 Huskies are just as good as 2013 Huskies.

I dont know what it is i know what its not, Boise State.

The signature win is a myth. Someone please show me the program than changed its direction with 1 win. It's the biggest doogism of all. The notion that all Sark or Ty or any shitty coach has to do is show up for 1 game and it will solve all their problems.
The truth is building a program is a shit ton of little tiny steps and only a few giant ones. And you can take all the big steps you want, you're never going anywhere without all the little ones. -

Your second paragraph is accurate, but the little tiny steps you talk about are what lead to the "signature wins." Without recruiting well and designing and implementing a new and innovative defensive scheme, the signature win I listed above doesn't happen. -

"Sark just needs signature win!" = Hope is a Strategy.
Fuck Softy. -
Ty had a "signature" win vs Boise in 2007. Ty proceeded to go 2-21 after that game.

1978 Rose Bowl

Stanford beating USC in Harbaugh's first year 2007.
-
Sure you can jump off a bridge and survive but I wouldn't advise it
-
Was that a signature win though? That was as much of a signature win as Sark's over USC.DerekJohnson said:Stanford beating USC in Harbaugh's first year 2007.
Stanford did what APAG describe they got better over time slowly. Right after that USC game they lost to a UW team at home on a 6 game losing streak. Had a losing season the following year and was only 8-5 year after that. -
Fuck a signature win. And since when is beating a team that you are more talented then a signature win. Winning programs don't have signature wins because they are busy winning almost every game. Other than BCS bowl wins, there is no such thing as a signature win.

That's a hell of a win, but it really didn't mean shit. I would rather have a Rose Bowl win.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Big time win but it didn't lead to anything. Team went 7-4 that year and lost every road game after that.RoadDawg55 said:

I think signature wins are bull shit myself too. I've seen several times where a team has a big win then lay an egg immediately.
Sometimes teams use that win as a program momentum but most of that is what APAG pointed to with little details going into it and it finally producing. -
"Signature" wins come after a team has improved. It is something you identify retroactively. Once a team has elevated its play to a high level and begins to beat quality opponents then you can look back to the first quality win and say this is the "signature" win that marks when the program had turned a corner. To preemptively speculate something is a "signature" win is doogish. Results first. You need a crystal ball or "real" insider access to know a program has gotten good before you see it in the W column.

That was only a signature win because it helped them free themselves of Rich Brooks. Coach stays, and that game is just a microcosm of the Lambright era, not the catalyst for the invention of football.MikeDamone said:

Why I hope somehow Sark pulls a 10 win season out of his ass this year so he can bolt then maybe UW can get a real coach and actually have REAL progress.dnc said:

Ok so no signature win, how about a signature loss? A wheels off loss you just can't recover from? Lloyd Carr app st, neuheisal miami 2001, etc?
That seems pretty fucking real

That "signature win" was totally overshadowed by a massive signature loss later in the season.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Set yourself on fire already for listening to KJR in the first place.Passion said:Signature win? What does that even mean? I heard this on the radio yesterday, and I almost dialed in to ask if usc in 2009 was a signature win, or nebraska in San Diego in 2011.
All I hear is ASJ's suspension; how will Keith Price play this year; our stable of RBs; and Shaq Thompson and the LBs. That's it. Nothing about Danny Shelton being the only decent interior DL in Sark's 5 years. Potoa'e, Banks, and Lagafuaina all suck shit.

The Stanford game in the rain, in front of about 12 of us, 3 years ago, where we finally got our 100th yard of offense in the fourth quarter, showed anyone who was paying attention what kind of coach we have. Especially when the opponent knows which quarterback to start.brchco12 said:Ok so no signature win, how about a signature loss? A wheels off loss you just can't recover from?

I wanted him fired after Oregon State in 2011 though.
Why he's still here despite several other plunger rapings and bad losses since then further shows that Washington Football is dead.
