It's almost forgotten now, but Ty Willingham nearly killed the Washington program after going 0-12 his final season.

It's really a miracle Sark did what he did there to pull them out of the abyss that they were heading into.

I remember sitting in the stands in 2009 for Sarks first game. LSU played it's typical Les Miles game, letting an inferior team hang around before finally pulling away late.

UW scored on the final play of the game to make it like a 10 point deficit or something. The crowd reacted like they had just won the conference on the last snap. Place went nuts. They were so starved for anything resembling competent play that pulling within 2 scores of LSU at the end was a remarkable accomplishment
