When Sark was hired, if you knew that five years later oregon writers would be predicting a 45-0 Duck victory in Seattle, would you feel Sark was the right hire?

Even though the firing of Tyrone Willingham was a relief in terms of UW finally correcting the 2005 mistake of hiring the incompetent fraud and worst coach in Husky football history, Emmert-Woodward's hiring of under-qualified raw rookie Steve Sarkisian was disappointing to me. While continuing to flog their public funding stadium renovation concept to the death it deserved, Emmert-Woodward once again insulted our football intelligence by not searching for and hiring the proven head football coach that Husky Football desperately needed following the oh-for-twelve 2008 season.
Given what had happened to our football program prior to Sark's arrival, I can not avoid being somewhat encouraged. Compared to his two predecessors, Tyrone and Gilby, some excitement has been regenerated by Sark's first four seasons. Although there's still plenty of questions about his head coaching abilities, I can still muster some hope while Sark remains on a learning curve with his changes in staff and schemes. The defense could be good even this coming season while Sark's offense........ is a work in progress especially in fundamentals and discipline. The recruiting must get better at positions away from the ball and glory zone........ but then, everything needs to get much better.
