My Seattle Times experience a couple days ago
I think to myself, "This has to be a bullshit headline. There is no way in the world that Jerry Brewer is putting the pressure on Romar. It just can't be true. He doesn't have it in him."
I open up the paper, and sure enough, there's a big headline saying we need to have patience with Romar, and then Jerry starts off writing about his "soft spot" for Romar and how he needs to be given more time. I didn't finish the article and so I don't know if Jerry blames the mouth-breathing heathens on the internet like he did when he was defending Willingham.
Back at our first Taki Tiki gathering, Koopdog told me that Jerry's articles always felt "squishy" and "soft" to him. And that sums up this town's inability to demand excellence and results, personified through the wretched reasoning of Jerry Brewer. (I'm sure Jerry is a really nice guy, but that's not what I'm addressing here).

I knew Larry when he was Big Sky High School as a transfer student, drooled over his Porsche 968 on draft day....there is no way in fuck, UW couldn't have hired anyone from Montgomery's coaching tree starting with Krysco. Watching UTah climb to the Pac 12, they will beat Arizona, is heartbreaking as a UW alum and fan. At this point and time, I say fuck it, clean house start over, hire new, build up. Hire Romar as the fucking athletic director

I got interested while drinking my morning coffee. Here is a section which really sticks out to me.
"Critics are fuming. Fans are fleeing, leaving the Huskies to play in front of thinning home crowds. If not for a stellar recruiting class, the “fire Romar” sentiment might be even greater. Realistically, however, athletic director Scott Woodward will give him the chance to coach a 2015-16 class that Scout.com ranks as the nation’s ninth best.
It’s clear Romar will need to return to the NCAA tournament next season or call it a tenure.
In this impatient and big-money era of sports, it’s impossible to go from six tournament appearances in eight years to a five-year drought and keep your job."
In this impatient big money era of sports? You're paid millions of dollars to win games and go to a 68 team tourney. That is how success is measured in college bball. 68 teams. We're not talking final fours, or winning a natty, but 4 straight years of missing a 68 team tourney and act as if he's getting a raw deal. Your job is to win games and he has been given more than enough time to right the ship.

It's not simply missing the tourney.
It's being really bad.
There's a reason he's called Rollball.
If we are simply looking for a "good guy" Im sure we could get one cheaper. -

When most of your big name players would rather go to a HS game than watch you take on a Top 10 team at home - you've hit the downward slope and the landslide is starting

Quincy was in the house last night. Probably thinking what the fuck happened.

Romar's teams haven't performed up to their recruiting class rankings in years. Why should anyone expect different next year?

Exactly. Darin Johnson was a big top 100 recruit. He shows the athleticism, but clearly is lacking the guidance to build any confidence in his game. That's on Romar.TTJ said:Romar's teams haven't performed up to their recruiting class rankings in years. Why should anyone expect different next year?
