    I think Sirmon is a good coach and good recruiter. I think it because I can't prove it yet.

    People forget the Sark factor. His assistants were extensions of him. He gets the blame for their failures and the credit for successes...if only there were a few of the latter to speak of.

    Peteresen gets the blame for Strausser, Malloe, and Bushka and the credit for the rest. Simple stuff.

    When assistants are limited, such as Smith, a good HC can cover for them. Guys with talent thrive as Lake and Kawasaki have. I think Sirmon is talented as hell (remember Vols fans being more bummed about him leaving than Wilcox) and would thrive as a Petersen assistant.

    I didn't say he was a shitty coach. I just pointed out that there is no evidence from his time at UW to suggest he deserves the title of "ace recruiter". There is this doog mythology that equates every member of Sark Staff 2.0 as recruiting dynamos.

    Yeah that's not it. I never thought most of Sarks staff could recruit. Obviously Tosh could and Sirmon came in with a lot of recruiting hype, the Vol fans were really tore up that he left. I never thought Wilcox or Cozetto or any of Sarks RB or WR coaches could recruit, and I never really thought Nansen was anything special. I thought both DB coaches could recruit (one could coach) and Tosh and Wilcox.

    I don't remember any doogasm over most of those other Sark assistants recruiting prowesses either. It was Sark they beat off for and later Tosh.

    I may be wrong about Sirmon and Heyward but it's not because there was any thought that all Sarks assistants could recruit.

    Had 2 pick-6's in the first half of his team's game last night.

    I get the feeling that he's going to have a Joe Tryon type massive improvement between his Jr and Sr year hudl, and we'll be once again left singing praises of Jimmy Lake
    We'd be better off if Lake left last year
    IDK, I think there is still benefit to having him around this year for Millers and Murphy's development

    no need, I am embarrassed for myself
