A college football coach is 100% responsible for results. No excuses.

A CFB coach recruits the players and hires his own staff.

If the kids are too small or too slow, the coach should have recruited bigger, faster players.

If the kids don't execute the coach should have trained them better.

The job of the CFB coach is to get his school to its proper level of performance- what it should achieve given the Iron Laws: Location, Tradition, Money.

At Washington, that level is as follows:

Winning season and a bowl game every year.
Competing for the league championship most years
Competing for a national championship once or twice per decade

The real debate is how long do you give a new coach to achieve that?

For Sark, to me this means the minimum standard this year is 9 total wins, but 10 is what would show real improvement and progress. Eight wins or less and he should be fired.

I offer this so perhaps people will stop misrepresenting what Auburndawg believes.

I'm always sympathetic to change, particularly when change means progress and improvement in our football program. However, if real change and improvement had been UW's intention following Tyrone's firing, Sark given his almost total lack of head coaching qualification would never have been hired. Neither for that matter would Lambright, Gilbertson, nor Willingham have been hired. All were unqualified and even Neuheisel who took us to a Rose Bowl turned out to have been flawed and a flakey hire at best. So, where does that leave us now?

Obviously to anybody paying attention, the University of Washington has failed to hire the head football coach we needed and deserved to replace Don James when he suddenly resigned. That was twenty years ago last Summer which means that the UW has wasted more years failing to replace the Dawgfather than the eighteen(18) year duration of his coaching career at Montlake. I was fifty-three years old when Don James quit and now that I'm seventy-three, there's still no assurance in my mind that the UW will or even has the intention of replacing him with as good or better a head coach.

All this talk and subliminal praying about firing Sarkisian is just more hot air. Whatever the UW has a true interest and passion for, whether it be academics, research, or anything else, the UW always succeeds in typically better than most other universities in the world. My alma mater simply hasn't the desire or intention of retrieving anytime soon if ever the football passion of past glory days. Nothing progressive is going to happen to Husky Football until those (coach and AD) presently responsible for the program get tired of plugging along in moderate mediocrity, decide to light a fire where the sun never shines, and get fucking job done. Don't anyone hold their breath.

I remember a screencap of you saying you thought Ty would be successful. Posted in November 2006. Nice revisionist history as always.

I don't know exactly what Auburn said but I would imagine most people thought Ty was going to be some form of successful. A lowered expectations form of successful though.

I created the WeWereAFootballSchool handle (RIP) the day Ty was hired because I expected him to perform the way Sark has actually performed.

Fuck I miss WASHINGTON dammit. Self-revisionist Doogs like Auburn and Kim are worse than al-Qaeda.

I think that is what I hate about the Doogs the most is after arguing for years with them once that coach is fired they never own it.

Then a few years later pass by they flat out deny ever liking that coach and they "knew" he wasn't going to work.

The Doogs who can actually admit they supported Ty I have more respect for that those who claim they never supported Ty when they did.

I love how Auburn himself admitted that he opposed hiring Ty yet was fucktarded enough to support him for 2.5 years...then he still for some insane reason supports Sark 4.5 years after opposing his hire.

In fact, I recall Auburndawg being impressed that UW was willing to spend a lot of money on a relative basis for a first time head coach when Sark was hired. He never understood when I attempted to explain to him that Emmert and Woodward were fucktarded enough to overpay (Sark could have been had for $250-500k less per season) AND be cheap at the same time by refusing to pay more for a REAL head coach.

TL, DR: Stop lying like a bitch, Auburn.

UW is where Arizona was in 2008 or 09 under Stoops. Solid recruiting had brought them up to an 8/9 win level, but it was a plateau instead of an upward trend. Arizona then proceeded to wait a year or two too long before firing him. Stoops had lost the ability to sell it as an up and coming program, killing their recruiting and setting Rodriguez back a year or two before he even started. It's not too late for UW, but the window is closing.
