The college coaching world is tough: You take an 0-12 team, take it to three bowl games in 4 years, and your branded as "not good enough." Washington was program at rock bottom with few prospects for improvement, and Sark did an excellent job turning it around. His big problem was not offense, it was defense; his DC Nick Holt turned out to be pretty pathetic, and the jury is still out on Justin Wilcox, if you ask me. He gave Chris Peterson a much better team than Sark inherited, and look at the great job that genius Peterson - the experienced and highly thought of head coach - did last year.

Where was this copy pasted from?
Sarkisian’s time at Washington was like an internship. He took the job at the bottom rung, making photo copies and fetching coffee. Considering the situation the Huskies were in when Sarkisian arrived, he did a pretty good job too. But there was a ceiling to what he could achieve, as with any internship.
