I tend to agree about the nasty Grinolds remarks, I've had plenty of those. I'm done. Had to vent after the abuse and BS many of us paid for.
However, giving Cream Puff (aka Shark) crap is not going to stop. This guy is THE problem with Husky football. Why stop dumping on him? His soft undisciplined teams are the walking dead, year in and year out. There is nothing as important to the program as replacing his deadwood ass.
Spending a lot of time in x and o discussions out of context of this loser are mostly meaningless. The x's and o's always circle back to terrible coaching.
This site could be really good, there are a number of well educated members. My best advice to make this a Husky site (if thats even the goal, but I am assuming it is by the name) is to not make it the dawgman ex-wives club. When every thread involves numerous Sark or Kim insults it kills the content and makes it feel like a Jr. High nerd circle. Too much talent and knowledge out here to be swallowed up by bitterness. I hope this doesnt come across as anything other than honest feedback, not looking for a fight or to pick a side.
With regards to Sark, I absolutely do agree with you that he is soft and undisciplined, especially compared to the standards of coaching I believe we still prefer and expect. In some ways, Sark's program reminds me of what we had with Neuheisel except that Rick was a better recruiter and could sometimes manage a game plan in preparation for and execution during a game. I could say that Sark is Neuheisel brought up in Provo instead of L.A.
However, there is one thing about Sark that I've heard from my adult sons who've been with me in supporting Husky Football since before our 1978 Rose Bowl....... which is that Sark even with his shortcomings has revitalized excitement for our football program. Whether he's still learning as a head coach-in-training or is mostly just PR fluff, Sark is a significant step up from the Fraud who took our money and left us with his 0-12 masterpiece. But then, the Fraud in my opinion always was a huge step down from what we had with Neuheisel.
