    Good write up. I have always ridiculed fans' attempts to restore the Don James era, which happened both with Gilby and Coach Willingham, fighting off the last bender here with some foaming at the mouth to get that UCLA coach.

    I think you may be mis-remembering a few things.

    For the last fucking time the reasons we all wanted Mora to be our coach had little to do with him being a UW alum. Noticed how nobody in here wanted Tui to be head coach?

    weird argument

    I remember this guy, Frank, on the old doogman forum, saying how Coach Willingham was a great man, just like Don James. The argument went on for weeks. The problems start when you hire somebody on the expectation that's he's going to be somebody else from the past.

    No, but I distinctly remember people dooging it up, saying Gilby was going to bring back toughness and discipline to the program, JUST LIKE DON JAMES' APPROACH!
