The transition from Sark to Petersen reminds me a lot of Bielema to Andersen. Sure the successors don't have the "pop" and "sizzle", but the changes make me feel more optimistic about the long term health of the programs.
I am all about the steak and couldn't care less about the sizzle. I was happy to get rid of Bielema. He was a Lambo type except he managed to back his way into some Rose Bowls. Arkansas was retarded and Gary Andersen was a great hire. I would have been more excited about Andersen to UW than Petersen. They are definitely similar types of hires though.
