Sark's time at UW was like an internship... the bottom rung

    I've yet to see any intern, outside of Sark, go from intern to head of an elite organization in one step. Praise Pat Haden.

    The college coaching world is tough: You take an 0-12 team, take it to three bowl games in 4 years, and your branded as "not good enough." Washington was program at rock bottom with few prospects for improvement, and Sark did an excellent job turning it around. His big problem was not offense, it was defense; his DC Nick Holt turned out to be pretty pathetic, and the jury is still out on Justin Wilcox, if you ask me. He gave Chris Peterson a much better team than Sark inherited, and look at the great job that genius Peterson - the experienced and highly thought of head coach - did last year.

    So all that time he should have been recruiting OL, he was actually getting coffee for Pool Boy and making copies? It all makes sense now.

    Remember when former Weber State coach Mike Price took WS fucking U to the Rose Bowl?... twice??? Yeah, what Sark inherited was a *lot* worse than that.

    Can't expect to win at a school with Don James trophies beaming glare reflecting off the lake in your eyes all the time.

    Sarkisian’s time at Washington was like an internship. He took the job at the bottom rung, making photo copies and fetching coffee. Considering the situation the Huskies were in when Sarkisian arrived, he did a pretty good job too. But there was a ceiling to what he could achieve, as with any internship.

    I'm sure if Sark was at UW as long as James.... Nope.

    This thread will be glorious after Sark leads USC to another of his signature 7-win seasons.

    Don't judge SarkTyrone based on his time at Washington Notre Dame.

    This article is terrible, how the fuck are you supposed to evaluate coaches? SC fans are beyond purpledoogfanFS if they think UW was holding Sark back.

    Everyone knew Meyer was mediocre at Utah, it took a real genius at Florida to give him a shot in the bigs. /sarkasm

    I didn't even bother to search out the author's name, but he has to be pretty stupid and ignorant. Warshington has basically been a consistent top half of the Pac 10 and 12 team since 1977 minus a really bad five or six year period with two awful coaches.
