4 year extension for Sark?

[Chapow]

Sark is denying it.

Hmm, kind of. He's denying that he had a formal interview, but what exactly do you think he was talking about with the AD from USC?

Sarkisian appeared on KJR-Radio in Seattle on Monday and confirmed he spoke to Haden over the weekend, adding he wouldn't describe their discussion as an interview. Sarkisian said USC isn't that far along in the process with him yet.

Previously unscheduled team meeting now scheduled for today (apparently)...

Is Sark ditching the Huskies?

 

[drrew]

Here's the important part of what he said:

"I didn't interview for the job, they reached out to me, I talked to them, I'm not anywhere near along the course of taking that job or not."

Make of it what you will.

This is really bad news for Washington. The USC job is a promotion. Can't believe anyone who knows anything about college FB can see this as anything but a step backward for the program. Sark has done a great job here.

 

[Blitzer88]

Breaking news: Per ESPN Coach Sark is accepting the USC head coaching position.

 

[Subzero717]

Hire Mora and don't look back.

Yep, I completely agree. This is absolutely a step back for UW football.

I keep hearing from UW fans that Sark isn't good enough, but I have yet to hear one realistic option that would be an upgrade at HC over Sark that would actually accept the job at UW. Probably because there isn't one.

Grass is always greener on the other side...

 

[Subzero717]

How can anyone say Sark has done a great job here?

Honestly with USC being the second best job in the countrt I don't even know what Sark did to warrant him getting that job. He did about as much as Kiffin did to earn that job. Good ridance.

SC fans are PISSED. I don't blame them either.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Hire Mora and don't look back.

No , dude is a joke. I want him nowhere near that program.

 

[Blitzer88]

Although Sark did leave some to be desired, I don't like this at all. I mean, we just go right back into rebuilding mode I guess than. He just installed a new offense this year. What happens to that next year? Also, I think the D coordinator Wilcox could be a good hire for us, but still would rather have Sark. And say goodbye to a good chunk of our recruits for this recruiting season.

 

[Subzero717]

Hire Mora and don't look back.

He doing halfway decent at UCLA. Hire Wilcox? He's going to SC.

 

[Fuzzman55]

I only wonder about Wilcox. Does he follow, go somewhere else, or stay? And, at least to me, the only school settling is USC. I guess it makes sense because they did run to Kiffin for that Carroll connection, so maybe they're still desperate for a link to those years.

Where do you think you are? Alabama? There are 120 college football teams. 3-4 are in contention for a national championship in any given year. We were dead last when Sark was hire. The team has steadily improved since he got here. Don't talk to me about pure records.

This hire shows the huge disconnect between the national perception of Sark and a local fanbase with ridiculous expectations. Nationally, he's seen as the guy who took turned a laughing stock into a respectable program almost overnight. Who is available and better? The only guys in contention for the USC job were considered the best college coaches who weren't locked up at a historically elite school. Sark is among that group. UW's pool of candidates will be far less desirable than USC's.

God I hope Wilcox doesn't go anywhere. He finally turned the Washington defense into a good defense, losing him would be very costly for us.

 

[DavidSeven]

Can't imagine why Wilcox would stay here instead of USC unless he's given the HC job, which I don't think is going to happen.

USC is the second best job in the country behind Texas. Do you think Sarks name was/is on Tecas short list? Absoluetly not. No way. We don't even know who else USC interviewed outside of Del Rio. They have all the resources in the world to hire any coach they want. They missed and their fans know it.

As far as UW is concerned when are we actually going to compete for t he Pac-12. I'm tired of the we sucked when he got here BS. Oregon is able to recruit and win in Eugene. Az State, UCLA are all making progress in short order. Sarks been here since 09 and we haven't smelled a rose let alone played for one.

Did you watch the Arizona State or Oregon games?

I can't believe USC settled for 7 (occasionally 8 ) win Steve. This is awesome.

That's not Sark's perception nationally. He isn't feared by anyone. This is USC going to what they know.

With the talent on that roster, it won't matter. Sark's a good enough coach to win down there. Kiffin wasn't.
