As a young white boy in Olympia Garfield was legendary for the basketball team and the music department. I know that sounds racist in a way but they were really good. The whole state had like three black people in it
I'd be looking through the state tourney program and Garfield, Lincoln Tacoma, and Davis would always be there and have the only Black players.
I'd prefer not to be at war with them. Some great Husky football players have come from there as well.
Cleveland was awesome in the 70's. And black as fuck.
I know this kid is a fantastic football player but I'm getting to the point where the attitude is just not worth it. I think we are already out of for him anyways to tell you the truth

Getting the best player in the country at a position of need is always worth it.

I know. Good thing it isn't my call. We'll see what happens.
Fuck all this 7 on 7 AAU shit. It’s all dirty as fuck and shouldn’t exist. It’s a bunch of shady ass shitbags using children for their own benefit. Reading all this petty twitter horseshit is making me dumber. FYFMFE.
Maybe he addressed it in the pod. I didn't listen.
The thing is that recruiting has been the focus of every staff change made since the original staff was assembled. And at this point it is a nearly elite staff. Better than Sark's vaunted all-star staff which included duds like Nussmeier, Keisau, the angry oline coach, and Nansen. At this point we are one more stud recruiter away from being elite. Between Gregory, Kwat, and PaoPao we need to replace one guy with another Bush or Jimmy level recruiter.
As for Gregory I don't think this forum gives him enough credit for our defensive success. With his DC experience and history with CP he is much more than a position coach. The problem is we already have one old white dude on defense in Kwat so Bob is redundant.
Smear campaign that discredits Thomas and gets him fired would be one way to do it.
Another would be to start holding 'minority coaching mentor days' (which I would prefer) and invite all local minority coaches to get a special day of mentoring from our minority coaches (dealing with specific challenges) then some general mentoring from Pete and the rest of the staff.

As for the Garfield issue specifically it seems like Joey Thomas just wants to appear important. Invite him to pointless events, hold a camp and market him as one of the headlining coaches, offer his guys PWO spots, show up at his home games, basically make meaningless yet public overtures that he can puff his chest about.

I'm not really in for this, if dude really is dirty we? don't need to start endorsing him.

Well Dennis wants to do the opposite which is fine too. I was just thinking there might be a way to massage his ego without actually endorsing him in any meaningful way.

Have speakers, etc. Take it really seriously.
Why not?
I would actually vote for option A. Pete would probably never do it but I'd love to see Jimmy Lake swing his dick around in the situation and knock that little shit nugget down a peg.

You just were in the 70's, 60's, 50's Backwards ellipsis forever. FFS

This makes sense. Sucking up to high school coaches is an unseemly, but necessary part of being an FBS head coach.
Nobody was better at it than Mack Brown. He was a mediocre coach, at best, and certainly didn't seem like a guy who would relate particularly well with 17-18 year olds, but his ability to ingratiate himself (and the Texas program) with high school coaches was legendary.
His style was homespun corny bullshit, but it was also calculated. That's why a buddy of mine always referred to him as a "small town mayor" type.
He was all about back slapping, remembering everybody's name (and in many cases, their kids' names), and trying to make them feel special. So a few minutes after Vince Young putting away the Rose Bowl, one of the first things Mack said when he hoisted up the trophy was that he dedicated the win to Texas high school football coaches.
Of course he was also utterly uncreative and not a particularly good evaluator or developer of talent. He also got lazy and entitled about recruiting, which led to UT falling into a pit of mediocrity around the end of his tenure, despite highly rated classes.
Petersen isn't the same type of guy, at all, but the lesson to always be selling HS coaches (particularly local ones) on the program is still a useful one.

Isn't Rainier Beach more black than those other schools? There's white tons of white kids at Garfield. At Rainier Beach I can't recall over 10 white students when I went there.
