This would be the equivalent of hiring Sark all over again.
When he was hired in 2008, he had a total of 8 yrs college coaching exp., all at the same program, save fucking El Camino college in 2000. Scary enough it was that our AD thought it was a good idea to put the UW football program in the hands of someone so inexperienced, so young (34 at the time), with exposure to basically only one major college football program, he took a gamble. Every hire is a gamble in one way or another, but he took a big one. He lost that bet. Sark proved to be in over his head and here we are.
Nuss has been coaching a total of 9 yrs in college, including this season. 9. He's had some exposure to Saban for the last year plus, had some time coaching for John L. Smith, but does that limited exp. mean he's qualified to take over one of the top head coaching jobs in the PAC-12? Fuck NO. And if he is successful, who do you think is gonna come calling when Saban retires or takes the Texas job?
To think that our AD would be so fucking incompetent to not realize that this is not 2008, our program is not in the shitter like it was then, and that we don't need to take such a risky gamble, a gamble that UW already lost, already proved to be a bad one... to even have the remote possibility and rumor that he's in the running, that we're going down that same route, is frightening in and of itself.

On a side note: How the fuck does Sark do it? He was seriously one loss away from possibly getting the boot, yet he beats two unranked teams, and gets a raise to coach for THE fucking USC?!!
How is that even possible?
Sark repulses me, yet I can't help but admire how no matter what shit he gets dragged through, he always comes up smelling like pair of freshly worn Kate Beckinsale panties.
But we've been down this road before and it just doesn't work @ UW:
- Neu: offensive minded coach, "West Coast guy", former QB, young(ish), "bright", good with the media, blah, blah, blah
- 7WS: offensive minded coach, "West Coast guy", former QB, young, "bright", good with the media, blah, blah, blah
- Nuss: offensive minded coach, "West Coast guy", fomer QB, young, "bright", good with the media, blah blah, blah
It's the mold that has proven not to work @ UW.
We need to go back to what's proven to work best for this program:
- Find a defensive minded coach, with plenty of college coaching exp., who has at least some head coaching experience. And in that head coaching exp., has shown that he improved the team considerably after he arrived in the W-L column, won championship(s), no matter how small or inferior the conference. The only realistic candidate that seems to fit this mold that I can come up with is Tim DeRuyter.
It's that our AD is subpar to Colorado St's AD.

Well, not every coordinator can fail can they?
