May God bless you and keep you alwaysMay your wishes all come trueMay you always do for othersAnd let others do for youMay you build a ladder to the starsAnd climb on every rungMay you stay forever youngForever young, forever youngMay you stay forever youngMay you grow up to be righteousMay you grow up to be trueMay you always know the truthAnd see the lights surrounding youMay you always be courageousStand upright and be strongMay you stay forever youngForever young, forever youngMay you stay forever youngMay your hands be always busyMay your feet always be swiftMay you have a strong foundationWhen the winds of changes shiftMay your heart always be joyfulAnd may your song always be sungMay you stay forever youngForever young, forever youngMay you stay forever youngWay back when I betcha Bob Dylan had no idea he was writing a song about Husky football, Sarkesian style...
Lack of preparedness, direction, attitude, toughness, player development and accountability. These are coaching problems. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see things changing until a new head coach takes over.
Roaddawg, saying Sark needs to go is premature. See how he does next year. If he doesn't beat Oregon and win 10 then I think he needs to go, but that will never happen. there are no SEC standards here at Washington. Their used to be. Part of me wants Sark to finish 5-8 and get canned. But what's more likely to happen? Sark will finish 8-5 and that will be enough improvement (even though he should have finished there in year three) for a contract extention. If we don't win the conference next year, Sark wont get us to a rose bowl ever. And Woody doesn't have the balls to cut ties as we have a brand new stadium, and recruiting is going well. Its going to be a perpetual "just wait till next year" program with Sark if he doesn't win next year. However I'm willing to give Sark the benefit. I like him a lot as a person
Will this ever change? Do we rely on youth because they are better athletes or do we screw them up threw our "development process?" Both?
Some of this is likely due to holes in the talent depth inherited from Tyrone and some of it (perhaps even more) is the result of Sark's imbalanced recruiting.

A real football school would have fired him already. Washington wouldn't even fire him if he went 5-7 in 2013.Washington already is a perpetual "just wait until next year" program. That's why Sark still has his job.
Nothing will change. As a bench warmer in the SEC, I played very little, but I did see how winning teams are built. Cream Puff is not even close. Lack of preparedness, direction, attitude, toughness, player development and accountability. These are coaching problems.

Woodward will only fire Sark to save himself. Not a minute sooner.
Woodward will only fire Sark to save himself. Not a minute sooner. That is an interesting point because a lot of AD's get fired along with the coach unless you are Dan Guerrero at UCLA. Woody and Sark'a future seem to go together, which is why I doubt Sark gets fired, even if he goes 7-5 or 6-6. As long as he makes a bowl, he's safe.

That's why Sark still has his job. Sark still has his job because 1-2-5-4-0 is what preceded him going 5-7-7-7 with three straight bowls. Now with a new stadium and his best team, expectations are for 9 wins this year and 10 next. If Sark goes 5-7 he definitely would be gone. This is a program that built a new stadium and had a blank check from the Pres & AD to help Sark revamp half of his staff after year 3. Does that sound like a program that is happy with 7-6 or 8-5? The admin has given him everything he needs. They know it and he knows it.
