Sark during game week
You never heard about Mike Lude standing around shooting the bull with Don James for 1.5 hours a day during the season. In fact, one booster I know who was extremely prominent back then once told me a story that he was in Coach James's office during the season in the 1980s. He said people were in and out and Coach James was multi-tasking like a mutha f'er. Mike Lude needed to talk to him and James said to come back at X time and that he had 5 minutes. Lude arrived right on time, and exactly five minutes later, their issue got resolved and Lude was out of there.

I doubt they talk for an hour and a half.....seems like it was lip service to the media

I like Zona this week

I sure hope not. I expect they did probably used to talk more but things should theoretically be in place now so even if they meet daily I would hope they don't generally need more than 5-10 minutes.TommySQC said:I doubt they talk for an hour and a half.....seems like it was lip service to the media

Can you imagine Saban, or Les Miles, or Urb...basically any coach with balls having Pool Boy come into his office on a game week wanting to shoot the shit for an hour and a half and not telling him to fuck off?

i think you're underestimating how many meetings are required to manufacture special seasons

With the double sided fire place in sarks office pool boy cuddling on the couch made out of Ferrari leather drinking a bold red wine over looking the stadium discussing AA schools to schedule giggling over 50 point meaningless wins.....I believe it.

This is where the lack of discipline comes from. Sark doesn't strike me as an attention to detail type of coach from all the stories I've heard about him.
I remember hearing James daughter who was a cheerleader at the school in 1990 saying USC week she didn't see her dad at all because he was so dialed in on the game.
Meanwhile Sark is dicking off talking some Pool Boy for an 1.5 hrs every day.
Like other posters said no way a serious football coach would tolerate that. They'd be like "this is game week I'm a little busy preparing for this game can you make an appoitment I have maybe 10 minutes to talk". -
getting pretty nitpicky around here

Gotta agree with puppysteel (did I just type that??). This is pretty nitpicky.DerekJohnson said:I think back to what Woodward said in 2010, that he and Sark spend 1.5 hours talking everyday. And today we hear that they met this week to discuss future schedules -- when Sark should be 100% focused on Arizona.

As you point out, coaches multitask. They are CEOs. The meeting about schedules could have been 5 minutes.
I honestly don't think the issue with Sark is dedication or scheduling.

I don't know about pool boy but the issue with sark is clearly focus and dedication in my opinion. There's not s lot that separates winning from losing and the team reflects the coach

He Needs More Tim already pointed out, it's the attention to details that we're bitching about. Sark does not appear to be the kinda coach that's focused on every single detail to the point of micro-managing things.chrisvashon said:

There's a saying I remember from my days in the Army "tactics (playcalling) are for amateurs. Logistics (being the headcoach) are for the professionals."
Sark loves his tactics. -
It is not being nitpicky if you are expressing a concern. If you're being negative or critical, then we have no room for you. Wait......you're not one of the big 5. Mods. Please delete this poast and ban him for a week.puppylove_sugarsteel said:getting pretty nitpicky around here

i don't even talk to my wife for 90 minutes/day during football season... how the hell the coach has time for poolboy is hardly nitpicky.

Fine. But "attention to detail" is not implicated one way or the other by Sark meeting to discuss scheduling during game weeks.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

DJ (I like to call Don James DJ just to mix it up) is one example of how coaches can manage their time. How do other successful coaches do it? Somewhat off topic, but can someone tell me why Bill Moose has his own radio show? Is that normal for college athletics?
-
If this is true, these meeting say a great deal. This is a clear reflection of priorities.
None of us really know, but this sure appears to be a case of Shark putting Woodward's priorities front and center, above or on equal footing with game preperation. The question is, what are Woodward's priotities that require this much time during game week? -
Maybe Woodward found an opportunity to replace Illinois with Eastern Oregon next year and wanted Sark's opinion on it.
-
I disagree. He is wasting a good 90 minutes during a big game shooting the shit with some dumb fuck Pool Boy.chrisvashon said:

This team leads the nation in penalties, they have been more and more undisciplined each year under Sark. He doesn't stress the details or seem to care about the details at all.
