Get creative, what about. . .

Sucks that Mora is no longer a consideration.

Just for the sake of discussion. . .

There have been some good ideas presented already so how about some
alternatives that haven't been mentioned. . .what about considering some NFL assistants?

I found an article titled. . ."Which NFL Assistant Would Make the Best College Coach?"
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000254559/article/ask-5-which-nfl-assistant-would-make-best-college-coach

One of them is in our own backyard.
So, Woody. . .if you're reading this board:

Dan Quinn---Seahawks DC.

"Executive 1: Dan Quinn

"(Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator) Dan Quinn. He's a player's coach. He's a grinder, he's tough and he relates well to his guys. He knows how to utilize the strengths of his players, and he has the presence of a head coach."

From Wikipedia:

Dan Quinn (born September 11, 1970) is the current defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.[1] Quinn originally joined Seattle on January 12, 2009, after spending the previous six years coaching the defensive lines for the San Francisco 49ers (2003-04), Miami Dolphins (2005-06) and the New York Jets (2007-08). He began his NFL coaching career in San Francisco as their defensive quality control coach in 2001 before moving to the defensive line. He also served as the defensive coordinator for the Florida Gators during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, before returning to the Seahawks on January 17, 2013 to replace the departed Gus Bradley, who became the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach.

Quinn played at Division-III Salisbury State College (now Salisbury University) as a defensive lineman from 1990 to 1993.

Dan played his high school ball at Morristown High School in Morristown, New Jersey.[2]

He began his collegiate coaching career at William & Mary in 1994 and at Virginia Military Institute in 1995, working with their defensive lines.

Quinn is going to get an NFL gig real soon.

I would prefer him over Nussmeier or Wilcox

Looks awesome.

We could definitely do worse, but the main issue would be that we couldn't hire him until after the Seahawks' season, which hopefully will last until February 2nd, only 3 days before signing day. I suppose we could try to hire him out from the Seahawks right now, but I really don't think the AD would mess with the local NFL team when they're on a potential Superbowl run. If he was coaching for any other team, sure, but it'd be liable to piss off a bunch of the fair-weather fans that are both Husky/Seahawk fans.

Don't tell me. . .you're dialed into the Seahawks, too?



BTW, I was just trying to make a point that there are good candidates out there besides Mora.
I thought the bored could use a boost. . . it seems kind of depressed here today.

If we are going to take an assistant with no HC experience, I would go the *REAL* #10, Ray Horton.

But I am still holding fast to my Gary Andersen dream
