Meh, Sark is 43-35 at two power schools (USC & Washington) and 4-3 at Texas. Sark appears to performing at his usual performance level. Past performance is generally a good predictor of future performance. I don’t mind the the hiring of Sark as Herman had to go and we needed an interim coach. Sark is not the answer, but he will do for a couple of years. CDC needs to be looking now for a HC in 2023. That said, I hope Sark can be better than his record.
His skills with Xs and Os on offense are reminiscent of Mackovic. I personally think the D will get settled and be just fine, but for those who disagree--Mackovic was known for not putting much emphasis on the D side. Sark's people skills = at least a B+, maybe better Mackovic's people skills = D- or F (his Arizona players revolted/mutinied, his arrogance towards alumni, and people in general, was infamous) Mackovic: "While Oregon Pinots are fine, you should taste the real Burgundy from France..."
