I’m moderately annoyed at our seeming inability to capitalize on our success.. Who is the marketing guru for recruiting? We have so many things that are right but why do we have an identity or image crisis? To me, it looks like we are going to take a nice step backwards this year in recruiting for no good reason and I am honest enough to say that out loud and I’m really frustrated; actually full-blown irked at the coaches for missing out because they seem to be above actually recruiting. Criddell was a top target. He also like to be pursued... not unlike most of us. Cristobal played the game and reaped the fruits. We offer and say, “hey, we’re UDub” as if that’s all it takes. That works for some guys, obviously, but not for the majority of talented players with the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ or higher ratings..

P.S. look at the ball cap.
Two questions:
1. When did Nike start putting the swoosh on the toes of their running shoes?
2. What kind of fag wheres running shoes out in the woods?
Get something that a man would wear in the woods, then you can talk football
You guys talk about footwear more than both of my ex wives.
Ektard had the DAWGS leading for him for a year (same with Sean Dollars and Chris Steele) and then suddenly they cooled on him but then Washington asked him to wait to commit supposedly and then Washington didn’t want him again and he then committed to Oregon 10.95 please
Wait until you subscribe and see what he has to say about a prized 2025 recruit that he has Washington in the lead for but Kim tempers expectations and reminds you the windy roads of recruiting and to not change that dial (make sure to notify them if you change bank accounts though)
Don't disagree with any of that, and much of it could be said about Washington.
Any coach from Florida coaching at Washington would leave in a minute to coach UF, FSU or Miami, so in that sense, Washington is a stepping stone job. So are a lot of places, depending on where the coach wants to be. I agree I'm not buying Mario's "I love You Gene" line; that's what he's supposed to say. But the PNW is like Mars to people from the SE US, especially down as far as Florida, which is so different than the PNW in literally every way possible.
Stepping stone? Besides Sark (we were blessed), what UW coach, from any sport, left willingly for another job?

Owens followed Royal and Owens was an Oklahoma Wilkinson guy with some Bear Bryant. And he stayed unlike Royal who couldn't resist Texas. I wasn't on Hardcore Husky back then but I'm going to assume after the back to back Rose Bowl wins there was plenty of interest in Texas and the south for Owens.
Don James was courted by the NFL and the HAWKS in particular. He had midwest roots and Florida connections but stayed.
As pointed out the rest have sucked since then but Peterman looks like a keeper from both us and him
Rick could have left after the Rose Bowl and in hindsight should have. But he stayed to get fired

As I said, DJ was the exception and it was a different tim. Coaches didn't jump around as much, certainly not as much as compared to today. He was from the midwest, and wanted to stay in the college game. Maybe Ohio State would have moved him; maybe not.
Rick would have left in a NY minute for UCLA or another "the right job".
My only point is that a life-long Florida guy jumping from Oregon to Florida State is clearly something that could happen here. There are people who would coach here who'd leave in a minute for specified other gigs.
It's a great job. Decent resources, history, somewhat challenging recruiting environment, reasonable expectations (relatively speaking), nice city, etc. But for the game itself it's not a mount everest summit job.
