Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

What I am hearing: this is Sark year 1

You can't expect to do better than 7-6 in your first year running a completely new and very complicated offense.

The clock was reset in August. It's as if we've hired a fresh new coach.

Oregon didn't become Oregon overnight. Let it play out.

Sark needs at least 2 more years to work out the kinks. Year 3 will be crisp.

    Next year is the real year one. UW finally has a QB capable of running the new and very complicated offense.

    The "Oregon did not become Oregon overnight" thing cracks me up because they literally did become the ream they are now overnight. It was the night they hired Chip. Before that they had put together a string of solid years with a couple really good ones but they became a national power by hiring a coach

    With the right coaching staff and a few players/ better developed players, the Huskies can win 10-11 fairly easily in the next few years.... that would just be the average.

    If you don't recognize the damage done by 7-6 then Kim can't help you.

    I'm in the "fuck Sark" camp.

    But if people think that "Wilcox will be a great head coach because he's serious on the sidelines and doesn't talk to anyone during the game" or "Mora is the man because he gets pissed off during press conferences" as the rationale for hiring either of them...then we are in deep shit. I like Mora, but I'm waiting to pass final judgement until further results are available.

    The argument for Wilcox has faded but it was a combo of factors: 1) He seems like a serious guy who would live in his office and bust his ass 365 days a year, 2) He's a defense first guy who would be willing to hand the reins of the offense over to a real offensive coordinator (this reflects the scars of watching our head coach struggle as his own OC for five years), 3) He could probably hang onto his entire defensive staff which would make for a smooth transition and probably a bump in recruiting especially where it really matters (linemen).

    If you haven't noticed, Mora recruits like a fucking maniac and surrounds himself with badass coaches. You have to be blind or stupid not to see the monster that's building at UCLA.

    Yeah, I've noticed. Did you noticed he got his dick stomped in the dirt the past two weeks? Or that he lost three in a row last year?

    I'm not saying he can't recruit. I'm saying that I want to see what he does the rest of the season before I pass judgement. Or in other words...LIFPO.

    Let's talk after UW plays UCLA. Then let's talk again in February after Mora takes his pick of the recruits that UW is "right in the mix for".

    This is all talk until we LIFPO but I have a pretty solid idea of how that will happen. History is on my side.

    I agree with Chuck about Mora building a bad ass program at UCLA, and I think it will happen in a year or two, but getting pumped about his interviews and press conferences is very doogish.

    So we need to check with you before we link anything. That straw man has been raped more than a visitor to Auzen. Link where someone said that's the reason to hire him or shut the fuck up
