The Hardcore Husky Podcast: If Cignetti was a grand slam hire, Fisch was a fielder's choice*

Very fair .. I just think we should keep reasonably high expectations, and we ARE a desirable job, is what I was mainly getting at. 👍
I find Seattle has too much soft loser mentality that can show up in various sections of the fanbases in town.

Related topic, when Dannen fled it came out after that his wife was still living in New Orleans, and that was considered a red flag. Same shit with Fisch. This dude is so gone if he gets a chance, hopefully that at least is motivating him to finish strong.

Yeah, I had a discussion about this last night with someone who donates a pretty good sized chunk to NIL each year. There was some bullying of their kid at school or something — led to family heading back South and leaving Jedd to work solo.

Probability. The only teams to suddenly appear out of thin air in the CFP championship are TCU and UW, back-to-back.
Now, with 12 teams, that will be more improbable.
As someone who's been in university settings for all of my career, EVERY university is attempting to improve its academic, athletic, trans-friendly, etc, ranking.
What's silly is how each school is shocked or disappointed each year when, despite enormous resource allocation, their ranking went down or barely improved. Yeah, that tends to happen when every competitor is doing the same.
UW should be a perennial top 25 program.
But why should it be more than all of the other 25+ power 4 schools dumping money into their programs?
More to the point, who's the next Cignetti for UW? Well? Name him. Then how will uw get him when 15-20% of P4 programs are also looking for a new coach, per this year's insane tally of casualties at week 7ish.

what’s the best school to work concessions at?

I can't name the next Cignetti.
A. He wasn't on anyone's radar when hired at IU, at least not that I recall.
B. Luckily it's not my job 😂
C. Not sure we'd want anyone I would come up with anyhow. If we'd listened to me, we would have gone with Matt Campbell or Dave Aranda or something instead of Kalen. 🤣

Tressel, DeBoer and Cig are the poster boys for hiring lower division 90 percent winners
Not infallible of course but I like it better than the retread route

Cignetti was absolutely a hot coaching candidate with what he did at JMU.
-
I have no doubt I just don’t remember it personally.
Also the timeline didn’t sync up with our job opening up anyhow.
