Sark ties one on

[PCLoadLetter]

You think? Mike Leach got hired again.

Mike Leach is an asshole who can coach.

Sark is a drunk asshole who can't coach. He may get a shot eventually as a coordinator at a bottom-rung school. Better chance he ends up selling insurance.

The key is what happened after the Salute to Troy event. I don't know if Sark signed anything, or if his denial of his problem is "proof" that he had a problem or what. I think Haden is done though.
I do feel bad for Sark, it's not like he can go back like he's a big hero anywhere he's been, not USC, not UW, not BYU.
Some pro team will hire him as a QB coach, perhaps as soon as next year. Hell, you see what some assistants have been accused of? Being drunk is nothing.

I actually could have seen him making a push for the BYU job with Mendenhall gone to UVa. Could have showed everyone he's plowed his way through the rehab car wash, pacified the LDS by telling them he's done with alcohol forever and is a changed man, rested and ready for another go-round in the head coach's chair.

BYU would never hire someone who isn't LDS to be the head coach of the football team. Max Hall would get the call before Sark.

You think? Mike Leach got hired again.

A couple of points about that.
1. Leach was hanging out in Florida for a couple of years, pretty much considered unemployable. Bill Moos knew the WAZZU football program needed a big boost but no 'big name' coach would be willing to touch it because of how bad things had gotten, both on- and off-the-field. The program needed a fresh start, Leach needed a fresh start and Moos was willing to take what many considered a high risk.
2. From the beginning, the Craig James charges against Leach smelled pretty fishy. There's plenty of reason to suspect them. On the other hand, it's widely known and confirmed what Sark's drinking issues are, on top of his coaching abilities.
As Riptide alluded, Mike Price is a more equal tangent to Sark due to the drinking angle, though of course there is the accuracy issue with the Price's drinking tale.
