Collapse at the end of last year: "Nobody is more frustrated than me."
Beginning of this year: "7-6 isn't good enough."

From there, he and his supporters can say, look we've improved!!! He gets 2014 and gets to 9 wins in 13 attempts before the bowel game and can again say, look we've improved some more!!
The only hope for those who want him gone is that he doesn't go 2-1 giving hope to those who won't look at the deeper issues. Those folks will then say, well, 8 wins is better than 7 and he did take over an 0-12 team, give him another year.
Give the guy credit, he's a great politician.
Now he gets to hold down the fort in Seattle and able to fuck gonorrhea infested meat lockers at Joeys on the side.
I feel supercanucks pain...I really do.
As for his hyperbole propaganda and eventual excuses when publicized preseason goals aren't met, Sark talks way to much to the media and uses far more superlatives in doing so than his program has shown thus far it can live up to. I don't mind Sark's bullshit so much even though I preferred the pragmatism and stoic nature of Don Jame's P.R., which was nearly perfect to suit my tastes for coach talk.
The Seattle/Puget Sound mainstream (non-Internet) media hated DJ because he was always on a higher intellectual level than they were which I believe was perceived as arrogance and disrespect. Now that the local media has for the past five seasons had so much more access to a dumbed-down UW head football coach who is almost an exact opposite to the Dawgfather, my only interest in Sark's P.R. is how long the media will continue putting up with his motor-mouth bullshit. Perhaps these two final games against beatable NW rivals will be Sark's final bullshit act if he doesn't win out. We know how much more sensitive the UW can be to bad press than they are to the wishes, needs or preferences of ticket-buying fans and boosters.
Sark has no results.
Next time pick an example that makes your point.
Clinton never had to face a ranked Oregon State and it was nice that the Cold War ended, tech stocks were bubbling, and the Jihad was not front burner news. But he does deserve a lot of credit for steering a steady ship.
And speaking of the Cold War, I could easily say that Reagan had it much easier than Clinton. He had a clearly defined enemy. All he had to do to generate jobs was outspend the Soviets by dumping billions of tax payer dollars into the military industrial complex.
Republicans dismiss Clinton's economic achievements by simply crediting silicon valley (and Microsoft). I think you vastly underestimate the impact of his 1993 economic stimulus package (which republicans opposed, saying it would wreck the economy). That legislation raised taxes on upper-income Americans, and lowered taxes on people investing in small business startups. It fueled small business expansion and helped accelerate the tech boom. Clinton certainly wasn't a tech wiz, but he helped create an environment where tech wizzes (sp?) could get their businesses off the ground.
Regarding the cold war, Clinton had to navigate a more complex post-Cold War world and fix the Reagan budget deficit - which he did.
Ain't you sorry you asked me?
I'll just close by saying that I like Clinton much more than I like Obama. But - again - Clinton was fortunate in dealing with Republicans who were more willing to compromise, rather than block everything he was trying to do. Gerrymandered districts have been Obama's worst enemy.
Are you sure who it is who isn't willing to compromise these days?
Huh?
