You said you were risking sounding like kim. I simply agreed. You sounded like Kim. And I'm the idiot? Fuck off.

I don't know if we needed a transitional coach like Cream Puff, but we're in good shape to hire a real coach, and keep trying till we get it right.

Like I said, show me some examples where established coaches leave their jobs for a program that went 0-12. I never said, "Yay Woody", "Sark gets it", or any of that shit. Coordinators and average head coaches seemed to be the ones interested in the job in 2008. To the best of my knowledge, we tried to hire Brian Kelly, Will Muschamp, and Chris Peterson and were turned down by each of them. I could be wrong considering I don't have "inside sources" privy to what was going on with the search, but common sense tells me a team that went 0-12 is not going to have great coaches drooling over the opportunity to coach that team.MikeDamone said:You said you were risking sounding like kim.

To answer your question, NO - "real" football schools don't hire transition coaches. However, in the wake of the Tyrone era it could be argued UW ceased to be a real football school. I would think the jury is still out on whether Sark is a transition coach or a real coach, my personal opinion tending toward the former. For those really into the whole "win/lose" thing this coming season may tell us all we need to know. I do hear he's nice to his wife and sends his mom flowers every Mother's Day...RaceBannon said:Why did we need a transitional coach? Do real football schools do that?

RoadDawg is right. Its not the company line here but he's right.
Woody said he wanted a DC type for HC. He offered Muschamp first. He interviewed the other guys and pursued Mora hard, but Mora decided no. We all knew at the time this wasn't a 0 win team but probably a 4-5 win team to begin with. But when you've gone 1-2-5-4-0 in your last 5 years, the outside impression is its going to be a major rebuild.
At least Sark injected some enthusiasm into the program, helped raised the talent level (with a major helping hand) and raised expectations right away.
Problem is he'll never be a championship coach as his teams are sloppy, undisciplined, soft and inconsistent. They either need to fire him or push him out if UW has more success. -
I don't think Sark injected any enthusiasm into the program other than the over the top adulation by a core of fans that were like battered wives after Tyrone. If season tickets are a barometer, there wasn't an uptick after he took over.
I think to say "at least Sark injected some enthusiasm into the program" is on par with those that said at least Willingham cleaned up the program -- gotta give him credit for that. (I even wrote that in Dec 2007 when publicly pleading for Mora).

Real football schools don't intentionally hire transitional coaches....they also sure as fuck don't keep transitional coaches this long.

Gilbertson's program was cleaner than Willingham's.
