Maybe he likes being 7 win Steve. If he were to win 9-10 games the expectations would be even greater. Keep it to 7-8 wins collect about 3 million a year, keep the stadium 90% filled and you are cruising.
That is where Rick fucked up. He won a Rose Bowl year two so in year four when he went 7-6 it appeared to be a disaster and fans wanted him out.
While had he just shown incremental progress every year he'd probably still be coaching today.
Had Sark won 9 games last year, it would have bought him, bare minimum at least another two years and a total pass this season.
For all intensive purposes, he did win 9 games last year.
