So, the moral of the story is to hire all those guys to consulting jobs?
Sure, let's do dis. Extra large coffee cups for everyone!

This is a very underappreciated recruiting technology that nick saban has mastered:animate said:So, the moral of the story is to hire all those guys to consulting jobs?

This times 1000. This is the crux of DDY’s point, which initially I was completely against. UW has to care how they are perceived by in-state recruits. The majority of their recruits will always come from Washington. You can’t shit where you eat, and it sounds like Pete is figuring that out.RhythmicSlappingDawg said:Perception is reality.
I’d love to hear more on how UW screwed up with Eason btw. But the fact Skinny is coming back home speak volumes to me in how Pete’s approach is adapting.
From my perspective, RB is actually throwing UW a lifeline by letting them know the perception is out there. Now it’s time for Pete to try and find a way to fix it. As DDY said, Pete is stubborn, but he always gets there eventually and it seems like he’s being more decisive in finding answers to recruiting issues. -
I'll probably talk about it on the pod a good deal. It was kind of wild to hear.tvoie said:

And I think Pete adjusts... eventually. But as @Tequilla and my man's Marc Arnge Draco said in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', "Life's too short for someday Theresa." -

It's as good of a theory as anything else.Edwin_Bambino said:Let’s all be real for a second about what happened. Joey Thomas stumbled across HH, read Tequilla’s posts about the Civil War and realized UW was NOT the place for his kids. Facts only.

I thiught the season stuff was well known. I remember bashing Pete for it. You can’t offer really late when elite schools already have.

@Swaye care to weigh in on this?dnc said:
I love you with all my heart but fuck you are the biggest drama queen I know and I'm married. To a woman.Dennis_DeYoung said:I love all you fuckbags in this thread calling the RB/Garf coaches morons - as if that fixes thing. Sure! They're morons! Done!
OF COURSE THEY'RE FUCKING MORONS. THEY'RE HIGH SCHOOL COACHES AND 90% OF HIGH SCHOOL COACHES ARE FUCKING SNOWFLAKE FUCKS.
I've never met a person who spent considerable time in athletics who wasn't overly sensitive. It's the price you pay to be in a weird cult.
WHO GIVES A FUCK?
Three things:
1. Right or wrong, it makes no fucking difference. This shit represents a serious threat to Pete and his staff's ability to land the kind of players we need.
2. This modern era of 'tell them to go fuck themselves' is Marvel Movie blustery bullshit. You want to draw 5mil from UW every year? This is part of that job. It's a fucking disgrace that our populous now thinks that pragmatism is stupid and posing like you're in a fucking Batman movie is the way to get things done.
3. Last, it's not just Beach and Garfield that feel this way. As long as UW is handing out offers like candy to out of state kids (see the past week) and waiting to offer in state kids (again, see the past week) this will be a perception. I know for a fact that this is a narrative that's developed ACROSS THE STATE in the last year or so. This is just the beginning of this.

Again, I think Beach is FS for this tweet. OBVIOUSLY. Fucking Kalepo is committed. Fucking WSU passed on all those kids too. WHO GIVES A FUCK?
I think Thomas is FS, but you guys are fucking complete morons about this tough guy shit. Being a head football coach, you have to be a diplomat as well. This may not hurt us this or next year, but when 2020 and 2021 roll around, if this shit metastasizes, we are going to be fucked by this for no reason.
It's a fucking battle of egos. Who gives a shit?
Just do whatever it takes to make these people feel like you give in-state players the first and most serious look. Go over your process with all the head coaches. Try and help these coaches get jobs at colleges. Whatever.
I don't like it, but it's part of the job.
Pete's gotta deal with it one way or another.
