Re: Recruiting class rankings - slide - 02-07-2014

i'm not sure Sark is an upgrade.Â i feel for him having to follow Tyrone but its not like he set UW on fire.

Petersen is untested at UW, so I would say our turnaround is the most extreme in the Pac-12 at this point.

The man is nothing, not consistent. After going 4-5 his first year, in the league, he went 5-4 the last 4. And supposedly with better squads each year (as TW's players were replaced by his.) If that's not a red flag of mediocrity, I don't know what is. Clearly, he did something right early on to to turn things around so quickly, but that program wasn't going anywhere the past 3 years, it seems.

One needed change - Redrum - 02-09-2014

A contender for steepest arrow:Â Arizona.Â You needed to baseline where things were really, really BAD:Â Mad John Mackovic,Â He made Stoops look absolutely suburban normal.

TO BE FAIR to Sarkisian, the Pac-12 steadily improved (more or less) throughout his tenure. TO BE UNFAIR to Sarkisian, that's not a great sign: your second derivative should be better.

Here's something I've never been able to figure out.Â How do mediocrities keep getting hired?Â Seriously?Â Sark as University of Spoiled ChildrenÂ coach after his .500 program at UW?Â I don't understand...does he have pictures?

I think Haden is a pretty straight arrow so I doubt if he does. After the probation fiasco with Carroll I don't think U$C is considered the plum job it once was. Sark may have been the best available.

agree on the low bar, but it will still be a tall one for Sark given his current D-1 track record.

and on the subject, the quality of coaches in the Pac-12 is definitely trending upward.Â

UW -- Tyrone to Petersen -- up arrow (can anything be more extreme?)
WSU -- Wulff to Leach -- up arrow
UO -- Bellotti to Helfrich -- up arrow (but early)
OSU -- Riley -- same
Low APR U -- Tedfurd to Yikes -- down arrow (keep working it Sandy!)
Stanford -- Wlat to Shaw -- up arrow (bested only by UW in extreme turnaround?)
Utah -- Whittingham -- same
Colorado -- Hawkins to McIntyre -- up arrow
UA -- Stoops to RichRod -- up arrow I
ASU -- Koetter to Graham -- up arrow
UCLA -- Dorrell to Mora -- up arrow
University of Spoiled ChildrenÂ -- Kiffin to Sark -- down arrow?

A bit elective of your baseline for comparison... For example,belotti to helfrich might have been a row up, but Kelly was in between, and Kelly to helfrih is probably a slight down arrow.Â Otherwise you have to compare Sark to Carroll, which is a definite down arrow.

Hey, CI, don't mince words here. How do you really feel about Sark?

Re: Recruiting class rankings - CornFed - 02-09-2014

I am solid w/ CI on this one for sure!

Re: Recruiting class rankings - CowboyIndian - 02-09-2014

I didn't think much about him either way until he started pouting and whining at his post-loss press conference while accusing an injured Ben Gardner of lying down to stop their uptempo offense. He lost me there and I'm actually glad he's ended up at $C. I wouldn't know how to act if they had a coach i actually respected. There will be NO cognitive dissonance for me!

I would say the tests for Petersen have begun in earnest.Â Â
