I'm hearing that some big time boosters think Sark inherited a bare cupboard.

That's the attitude that justifies Sark really only in he second year. I can see the common doog believing this, but when the ubers and wanna be pretend ubers believ this shit, we are fucked even more.

Allow me to remind everyone Sark's bare cupboard one more time:

Here are some of the "Bare Cupboard" 2009 key returning players

Jake Locker (8th pick first round)
Chris Polk (Legit top 5 back in the history of UW, maybe even #2)
Nate Williams (Not drafted but invited to NFL camps)
Donald Butler ( 3rd Round draft pick)
Devin Aguilar (signed as a free agent)
Jermaine Kearse (signed as a free agent)
Erik Folk (signed as a free agent)
Mason Foster (3rd Round draft pick)
Senio Kelemete (4th Round draft pick)
Daniel Te'o-Nesheim (3rd Round draft pick)
Alameda Ta'amu (4th Round draft pick)

Plus there were a number of pretty solid D1 players.

 
You're right. The cupboard wasn't completely bare. That is why he was able to go from zero wins to 7 so quickly.

But remember walk-ons, true freshmen, and guys moved from other positions starting routinely? There is no doubt the shelves were not fully stocked then. They are now.

None of that excuses bad coaching, but Sark did not inherit a team that was ready to compete for championships.

My post was a partial cut and past from a rant a did a while back. Here is the rest:

FUCK KIM WITH A RUSTY CHEESE GRATER.

Certainly, it wasn't championship talent, but there was talent to go to win 7 or 8 right away and by year 4 we should be at 10+ year 5 should be a Rose Bowl trip. FUCK KIM WITH A 90lb JACK HAMMER!

now wining 9 games is Special? FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!
 
Sark's "bare cupboard team" was also his team that got beaten by 20+ the least

Yep, the team in 2009 was competitive in almost every game. They also played with more energy and confidence than any other Sark team. Why are they still getting plungered multiple times per season with supposedly a much more athletic team?
 
Sark's best fucking team was the bare cupboard team. Fuck off and put this shit to rest. And the Uber's now aren't the same as those during the championship years. Those dudes ditched the program when Ty was hired, then retained!

The new boobers are a bunch of new-money dinks who have never tasted true success. This program is fucked until we win a rose bowl. Then maybe changes will be made more frequently when 7-6 happens.

Agree with one small exception.

Regarding year 4, I am willing to cut Sark some slack due to the extraordinary amount of injuries, especially on the Oline. But only some slack. We should have won at least 2 more games last year. Now we are deep enough (on paper) that no amount of injuries can serve as a legit excuse.
 
@RickRedman (namedrop) is a dear old family friend who my dad has breakfast with every morning (not really). I'll get the non-Walla Walla blowhard perspective, and at the same time get some perspective by walking my cat away from the keybored.

I bet that team has more NFL players on it than this current team. It's pretty damn close.

Damone is right, if we had a real coach and not some guy learning on the job that first year UW is a bowl team. Year two the real coach probably realizes Jack can only run and can't throw and would utilize that plus Polk from the get go.

By year four the plunger rapings would have stopped, so would the piss poor road performances and we'd be ranked right now. We'd also be able to say with a straight face we expect a Rose Bowl.
 
Don't forget to include Price and Middleton in the All Bare-Cupboard Team. Goodwin, Boyce and Sylvester also hung around a while on NFL practice squads.

Forcing Lockner into being a pocket passer to prove some NFL QB kingmaker fantasy was the stupidest fucking thing ever.

Imagine if Chip Kelly had Jack running his defense?

Could you imagine if Rick had done that with Tui? Instead of winning a Rose Bowl and popping off UW goes 7-5.

Rick LIED about a job with the 49'ers. Plus he was in HOT WATER with the Coaches Association.
