These do not sound like the words of a champion.
"It's definitely unique and different," he said. "For us, being in the Pac-12 North, the emergence of so many programs compared to what this conference used to be. This conference used to be the haves and the have-nots. Now, there's a lot of parity in our conference. The growth or Oregon, the growth of Stanford, what UCLA did last year, SC year-in and year-out, the growth of our program, what Mike Riley's done at Oregon State, RichRod at Arizona, Arizona State.
"There's just a lot of parity. And then, now, by breaking it up north and south, not only do you have to win the conference; first, you have to win your division. Then when you can win your division, we might have to beat a team from the south that we have already played and maybe beaten or not. There's a great deal of challenge in this conference, but it's tremendous.
"The recruiting has really stepped up. Guys are recruiting really good football players. Obviously, the quality of coaches has increased. That's why it's a really good conference. It's hard."

1) Our DL is gonna suck because Tosh and Wilcox don't have "their guys" yet (Kim has been pimping this one to the max)
2) The Pac-12 is just too good (this absolutely blows my mind. What kind of loser-mentality fan base says "gee, we improved a lot this year. Too bad the rest of the league was so good.")
He's an even worse offensive coordinator. UW needs to can this fucking clown or find a way to push him out. His rah-rah shit was appropriate in year 1 but its worn out his welcome. His bs talk is only exceeded by that of Kim Grinolds.
