Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I got some good belly laughs over a rather lengthy thread on the CEO's site. Holy fuck, it takes every ounce of me not to chime in and thus get the use of a friend of a friend's account taken away. But it was a fuckin doozy.
The question was posed which current Pac12 coaches would you trade Romar for. And the vast majority of poasters said fucking nobody. I mean you have to have the doogliest glasses on not to at least contemplate a few names, but to have a minority of poasters even give 1 name is just pathetic.
Hell, the only ones I wouldn't trade are Alford, Ernesto, Dawkins and maybe Tinkle. And maybe the best was when anyone suggested Altman, other poasters suggested they go root for the ducks because at UW we'd rather win with integrity. Haha except "integrity" has not gotten us wins! FML

Altman has his skeletons but he can coach circles around Romar.
You can debate whether you'd trade Romar in for "younger" coaches at this level like Enfield, Hurley, Martin, or Tinkle. I'd probably make the trade at this point.
Ernesto is a disaster. Dawkins pretty much sucks and it wouldn't shock me if Stanford moved on from him at some point in the near future. Alford I don't think is a terrible coach but he's in over his head at a place like UCLA.
Anyone who wouldn't take boyle, krystowiak or miller are fucking braindead. I actually like kryst out of the lot for what UW needs. Miller is a little too much like romar in some areas for my taste(brain freeze in games).
I sure hope moosewhowails was leading that conversation. I swear to god romar could freight train his wife with venoy and he would still say he was the answer at UW
But hey just because Lorenzo is the dean of Pac-12 coaches, you can't expect him to rank anywhere higher than 5th and 8th out of the 10 coaches you have a body of work to judge them by right???????
This will put romar on the seat against martin(lost), tinkle(tbd) boyle(lost), kyst(lost), miller(lost). Now he gets altman as well. I don't think there is a strong possibility they go 1-1, let alone 2-0, but they have to win vs OSU if they want any shot at the ncaa.
But yes, I think on the court matters
In these 8-10 minute stretches where Romar stares longingly at Beer ads dreaming of a little hair of the dawg to cure his hangover, UW is completely dependent on one of its elite playmakers to go off.
On the road, it should be Andrews, but i'm ok if it is one of the young guns.
Worst case scenario is The Glove II going off, Andrews unable to match him, and little chainsaw arena punking the younger guys into oblivion.
Altman and Miller are good coaches. Better recruiters than coaches.
I think Boyle & Tinkle are good coaches, but I could be swayed either way on them.
TBD on Hurley (he_needs_moar_time).
Alford, Enfield, Cuntzo, Dawkins, Kent, Romar - are all garbage.
Very good recruiter, but just a decent coach. I think he's been inflated by a historically bad pac12.
