I actually think Sark could have a shot at being an decent Head Coach if he spent less time worrying about being friends with everyone and focused on being a football coach.
If he did that he might pull his head out of his ass and recruit some decent linemen and not worry about his ego of being "Americas best play caller" with all his cool trickery. He might actuyally run a sound offense that plays smart and knows how to score when they need to.
That's the problem. Sark *might* turn into a great HC someday, It honestly wouldn't surprise me. The issue is he isn't a great one now. And that isn't his fault. It was the fault of Scott Woodward for hiring him.
Sark has turned over his entire defensive staff and changed defensive philosphies twice in 5 years. He has changed the offense three times in 5 years. He is still learning who he is, and that's fine, most coaches take tiem to mature into the role of HC, which is why you don't give the reigns to one of the top 20 CFB All Time programs to a 33 year old dude who has been a coordinator for like 2 minutes.
Sark should have been a coordinator for another year or two, and then taken over at a school like Fresno State, or SDSU. Felt his way around a bit, really cemented an identity and philosophy for 5-10 years, and then in his early to mid 40's, when he knew what the fuck he was doing, and how to accomplish it, a school like UW should have hired him.
We did everything ass backwards with him. I don't blame Sark for that. If Woodward was stupid enough to offer me 2.5M per I would take it and trot out and say whatever the fuck he wanted me to say. But UW would suck if I was in charge, just like it sucks with Sark in charge.
I hate Sark for never attending to the lines, talking in circles, and crying on national TV. But, I REALLY hate Woodward for hiring him. Not Sark's fault he sucks. How many really great Head Coaches at top Div 1 programs can you think of in their mid-30's? Not many, because like anything else in life, it takes time and experience to get good at this stuff.
You are managing a corporation as a HC at a big school. Do you think General Electric would promote some 32 year old dude with a few good ideas in the marketing department to CEO? Fuck no. Let him figure out a business philisophy and refine it for 10 or more years, then take a chance.
I have typed way too much shit today. SO FUCK OFF.
