    I don’t want to go all @Dennis_DeYoung here, but if you state you care about recruiting you don’t hire a 68 year white guy with a baller mustache to be your defensive coordinator. Sorry boomers.

    What about a 72-year-old white guy who makes up for the lack of a baller moustache with some cool Nike Monarchs?

    I disagree with what I’m about to say but I’m going to say it anyways. When the thought came I dismissed myself as being an idiot.

    With the modern era of NIL “contracts” does having an excellent recruiter matter as much when the kids are just looking for the bags?

    Minimal recruiting in the NFL as money talks and that’s the way the college game is going.

    Food for though. Right, wrong, who gives a fuck.

    I had a similar thought. Nevermind coaches who can recruit, shore up the payments system.

    Pete is the exception to the rule, but yea it would be chill if we could hire one of the currently best coaches alive to be our defensive coordinator.

    I could see Don Brown and Pete Carroll being friendly as they could have cross passed when PC was with the Patriots. Hopefully he can get him in often to help with recruiting.

    If it was between Brown and Inge/Morrell, count me among those willing to give the former an opportunity

    Morrell adjusted well in the 2nd half, particularly in the last 4 to 5 games played. First DC to do that in awhile, probably since Kwat.

    D stepped up big in the NC game & got critical stops. O then shit the bed multiple times until the D was worn down.

    Lots of legitimate shit talked about Morrell, fair enough. But he at least had his head in the game as they wore on.
    Ffs the defense couldn't line up right or maintain a gap in the National fucking championship game for the first quarter and is a huge reason we lost. That was embarrassing. They should not be running a defense with the budget of Washington.
    Did the Defense improve throughout the NC game, or didn't it? Did they get critical stops against the NC when they needed them, or didn't they?

    And did the Defense not do the same all season, especially in the last 4 or 5 games?

    Make no mistake, I'm not *praising* Morell here, but only being honest and giving credit where it's due.

    Of course they could've played better and might have, if they knew their coach wasn't bailing on them.
    Not saying the defense cost them the game. Just very basic stuff you would hope in the biggest game of everyone's life on that roster they would have down in a situation of that magnitude. The whole team sucked. I dislike them more for what they did as a whole. Other defenses with less talent out performed them in the conference and their talent acquisition was also underwhelming. I don't understand why we wouldn't think we could do better.

    Of course we can and should do better. But part of achieving better standards is to integrate and build upon what IS working, so fairly and accurately assessing the overall performance is key.

    I wasn't often impressed with UW's D, but they were noticeably better in the later quarters, making many critical stops when they needed them to secure wins.

    UW's had some truly shitty Defensive coaches in the past 20 years, and I wouldn't put Morrell in that class.

    Boomers probably give more $$ to the UW Football program than all of the younger age groups combined.

    So fuck off using age as a way of dividing people.

    And as we've seen, being as young as DeBoer didn't help his recruiting much.
    Just because old coaches can’t recruit doesn’t mean all young coaches can recruit.
    Just because some dipshits think that older guys can't recruit didn't stop guys like Saban and Harbaugh from recruiting.

    Logic works in both directions. Assuming that all old guys suck at recruiting is as fucktarded as assuming that all younger guys will be better at it.
    Ahh yes, Don Brown is just like Nick Saban.
    You're the poster saying old coaches can't recruit.

    At least now you've backpedaled to that point of admitting that it might be about something other than the coaches age.

    No, that was someone else I just pointed out your response was stupid.
    My response was excellent. You simply lack the reading comprehension and critical thinking skills to follow the points.
