Nice. Hires like this are why I don’t stress about random smaller program hires from Sark. Dude was at fucking Cal

Looking back, he was one of the more “meh?” hired at the time. No one had a strong criticism, but no one here was excited, either. Seems like a great get at this point.

It's almost like Sark pays attention to every phase of the program and has a good idea of what coaches at other schools of all sizes are doing. 

If fans don't love the hire, it's stupid and Sark is stupid and must be drunk again! /s

One thing I have noticed about Sark is that he has very specific things he wants at all levels of the program. As an example, he doesn't want DL out of the portal with less than 500 snaps in P4 football. He doesn't want coaches who don't have specific kinds of track records of development, etc. It gives a pretty high level of comfort knowing that as the staff continues to get raided each offseason that he will replace with a coach of similar quality.

I've gotten to the point where when Sark hires someone I've never heard of, I am excited to see how it goes. Maybe it doesn't work out, but it seems like these unknowns keep becoming the next big thing. 

At this point the more surly is irritated or freaked out by a hire the better the results.

From Cal? I remember wondering if he was Goff's strength and conditioning coach. Lol. You're right though that Becton has been nails for us.

Sark played for Norm Chow and LaVell Edwards at BYU, well before the forward pass made it down to Texas.

The amount of time Sark interned under Pete Carroll and Nick Saban puts him in a very tiny class of football coaches.

That said, the same experience doesn't translate to success if you don't put in the effort to identify your needs, secure the personnel to execute your plan, and commit the resources and build a support structure to make it all work.

Even then, it takes a constant attention to detail to make it all work. Recruits see that attention to detail in the way players conduct themselves, in practice and in the weight room, and in the way it manifests on the football field.

He has done an admirable job of his role in building the program and in the his staff, even if 50.1% of Surly disagreed with him and thought he was never going to be the guy. 

I remember his remarks on PK, that Sark never coached with him, but he coached against him. And he wanted PK to coach the defense because his defense gave the offense fits.

That said a lot to me abou Sark. Even though some here didn't agree with him.

Sark clearly absorbed massive information from Carroll and Saban. Rodney Terry clearly absorbed nothing from Beard and Barnes.
