When you have a new, hard-ass regime taking over for an undisciplined fuck, you have to blow up everything and start over. That's coaching 101. If Petermen made a mistake, it was not kicking more of Sark's guys who didn't buy in off the team. See Chuck Strong at Texas--they had an awful year, but in 2 years when they go 11-1 people will look back and realize that it was worth it. One step back, two steps forward. I wouldn't call this year a failure by Petermen at all. He was left a bunch of talented, but undisciplined and soft (with a few exceptions), players from Sark. Cycle those bad eggs out of the program, get Petermen's guys in there, and in 2 years UW will be at 9/10 wins.
