Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Real thoughts if Wilcox is the next HC?

Any hope at all? Would you take 1-2 years of Wilcox test run over a Sark 5 year extension?

I like Wilcox a lot. The HC matters. Wilcox did a creditable job with SarkFS as the head man. He's good.

We can do much better than Wilcox. Wilcox is still better than keeping Sark.
-
Either Wilcox works out to be better than Sark or Woodward gets himself fired.
UW was fucked until 2016 with Sark, so this scenario isn't any worse.
Win/Win -
Wilcox actually has a demeanor to him that is respectable. I don't see Wilcox after a mediocre win going "Wow what a cool week for the Washington Huskies man!"

Agree with the above. Sark was never going to be great, so with WIlcox there is at least potential. I don't see how he could be worse than Frat Boy...as long as he hires a good OC...interesting to see if Sark tries to take the whole staff...
I know we all want someone proven, but I bet Wilcox is getting heavy play right now...might need to prepare for this... -
Wilcox versus Sark
Pros
Persona - Acts like a man
Coordinator experience - Has coordinated with some success at multiple programs under multiple coaches. Also means UW can hire a real OC. Presumably means Sirmen gets promoted to DC which is scary, but still better than Sark at OC.
Coaching network - Won't have to hire his good buddy Nick Holt because he doesn't know anyone else.
Excuses - owen12 is forever retired from the doog excuse lexicon. I'm sure they'll invent something new, but we won't have to hear about acting like 0-12 never happened anymore.
Cons
HC experience - Wilcox has none, Sark has mediocre experience.
Recruiting - Sark's vastly overrated as a recruiter, but Wilcox has never been hyped as a strong recruiter by even the doogliest of doogs. There could be some dropoff. OTOH, he's not hated by instate coaches and recruits.
Oregon potential - If things go well with Wilcox he could always leave for Oregon. Sark wants to coach here longer than Don James.
Wilcox should not be the next head coach. He's not a home run hire.
He's still an upgrade over Sark. -
I'm liking the posts in this thread. I was half afraid to open the board.
Wilcox with his defensive staff and a new offensive staff is better than Sarkisian and his staff. This would be an upgrade and minimize any impact to 2014-2015 recruiting (which I know I value more than many).
Is Wilcox the best HC hire they could make? Fuck no. A retard might think so but I'm a half notch above that. A football success obsessed AD would get a proven head coach with his own coaching tree. Our AD is not obsessed with football greatness. Wilcox is a safe move that eliminates the possibility of the AD completely fucking this up. There's a chance he could be great, very high odds that he will be a slight upgrade, and very little chance of him being a disaster. -
who says Wilcox and Tosh don't go with him?
-
FUCK. NO.

Wilcox is fine as a fall back hire. If the bigger names turn you down he'll work. And as DNC has pointed out 0-12 is dead. Wilcox will be cheap and have expectations.
