Time To Look At The Future Of Head Coach Sarkisian At UW

Let me start by saying this. I was never happy with the hiring of Coach Sark. This dude coached highly talented players at SC so his team won a lot of games and it was not all because of him.

When Sarkisian was hired, some sports writers in L.A. were amazed. Because they knew that some of Sark’s players with SC had problems with him and turned on him. If you don’t believe me do your homework like I did.

Of course anything was a improvement over former head coach Willingham but the choice of hiring Sark I have never liked and after last night being blasted by the Cats it shows me again he ain’t the right head coach to be with the Huskies.

I am tired of watching Oregon and now Oregon State in the polls and we are nowhere in sight. Last night I saw UW players not putting out on the field. This is a flat out no-no. Like Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times says, why is it we cannot win on the road and are record at home is not the greatest under Sark. Right now we are 3-4. As a Husky fan I am not happy with this record.

I just listened to the most “soft” postgame radio show I have EVER heard on KJR with Dave Mahler, Dick Beard and Hugh Millan. We just got beat 52-17 and I heard the hosts and callers just talk about the play of Kieth Price and hardly any talk of the job of the head coach. The question is WHY??

In my STRONG opinion Dave Mahler and Beard and Hugh are TREATING COACH SARK WITH KID’S GLOVES!! Letting him walk on water. It is time to look at the job the head coach is doing at the UW. The time is NOW!! Just like they looked at the job Willingham did. Do it with Sark!!

Of course when Ty was here, a African American, he was blasted by Mahler and Hugh (not really by Beard, he never blasts anyone) and callers but Sark who is white is getting treated very lightly in my opinion. I am sorry readers, this is how I feel. You white folks may disagree but that’s OK.

It is time for Steve Kelly, Jerry Brewer, sports radio hosts and all other sports writers AND fans to look at the job the head coach is doing and ask why? Why is it we cannot beat Oregon. And look VERY bad at it? The Beavers are doing very well and we are not? Why is it we got beat by a team with a TERRIBLE defense?

Oh yeah I don’t want to hear about injuries because guess what? The Cats have had the same freakin problems and they BLEW US OUT 52-17!!

Yes UW has done a little better under Sarkisian but as a Husky fan for a long time, not good enough. It is time for all Tyee members and the UW athletic dept to look at the job of Sark. They cannot be happy with the job he is doing. Cannot. We are not Idaho or Fresno State or Vermont, we are the University of Washington. We should be better.

If the Beavers beat us and we do not look good again, I think it will be time to look at the future of Sark as the head coach of the University Of Washington.   Gordon Curvey
