What are Sark's biggest wins as a coach? That sure as hell has to be an underwhelming list.
This question put me to work.
2009: UW finished 7th in conference, beat then #3 USC (finished #22) and #19 Cal (unranked).
2010: UW was 4th in Pac12 North, beat #18 USC (unranked) and #17 Nebraska (#20) in the Holiday Bowl.
2011: 3rd in North, didn’t beat any ranked team.
2012: 4th in North, beat #8 Stanford (#7) and #7 Oregon St (#20).
2013: 3rd in North, beat #19 Boise St (unranked). UW finished ranked at #25.
2014: USC tied for 2nd in Pac12 South, beat #13 Stanford (unranked) and #10 Arizona (#17). SC ranked #20 end of year. Preseason ranked #15.
2015: Sark fired after game 5 - Go Dawgs - didn’t beat any ranked team. Preseason ranked #8.
2021: Texas finished 7th in Big12, beat #23 Louisiana (#16). Preseason ranked #21.
2022: 3rd in Big12, beat #13 K State (#14). Texas ranked #25 end of year. Preseason ranked #18.
None of his teams except for 2013 UW finished ranked higher than preseason.[/b] Every UW team after 2009 received preseason votes in the polls.
His biggest wins? USC in 09, Stanford in 12, K State last year. IIRC, Stanford didn’t have their starter at QB that game just like USC had a backup in 09.
