I love that website's name and how much is Tosh making? If he's making $300k, why not give him a raise? If we don't keep Tosh, we won't get Pelon and if it was legal, I'd want us to pay at least $50k for Pelon.
In general, Tosh is worth so much to us in Seattle for recruiting purposes and though I've never met him, I have heard he's an awesome and hilarious guy. Really want him to stay.
I don't agree about the Tosh hate. He's had some good DL's at Cal under his watch, and the DL at UW seems to be getting better. Recruiting was much better with him last year as well. He may be a little overhyped by some, but he's an asset to the program.
Tosh is legit. He's good at player development and he gets the modern recruiting process. Yes, he's a "fallen" Mormon, likes his brews, etc., but I'm not going to hold THAT against him. Look, I'm guessing the guy wants to be hitched to a winning program, and the guy pitches loyalty as a key attribute of where he is...see Cal, he was a phenomenal recruiter for that reason. If he hitches his trailer to Pete, I like to call him that because he's from NorCal, he learns from a legit head coach, and he can pitch that loyalty to recruits. Coach with Sark or Pete? C'mon.
Tosh is also super young and hasn't even been coaching for 10 years. He is going to rise the ranks pretty quickly so he is going to leave at some point, would be nice to have him for a year or two more though.
It's either Tosh stays or Wilcox stays. I don't see a scenario where both are on the staff with Petersen bringing his DC over.
So it comes down to who is more valuable? On one hand Pete's new DC/DL coach is considered the best DL coach in the country. Their defenses were better under his watch than Wilcox I believe.
From a salary perspective I'd rather let Wilcox go and keep Tosh for the recruiting aspect. If Petersen thinks that DC is better than Wilcox you have to trust him on that since he's coached with both.
I think from where this roster/coaching staff goes Tosh is more valuable than Wilcox to this staff.
Before the Wilcox fans bash me I do think Wilcox is by far the better coach than Tosh. Far as who is more valuable to this staff? I think really only Tosh due to the recruiting aspect.

I get what you are saying. The DC at Boise and Wilcox were pretty even until this year. This year, Boise wasn't very good on defense. I don't know how accurate it is, but the DC (Coach K) at Boise is said to be willing to be a position coach. He probably gets paid the same, if not more as a DL coach at UW than being a DC at Boise, so I could see how that would be true.
Lots of factors at play here. I'm not even sure if Coach K was truly even Boise's DC. Gregory was the DC at Cal from 2002-2009 and went to Boise as AHC/LB coach. I would assume he played a large role in coordinating that defense as well.
I think if you have to choose, you have to go with Wilcox because he has proven he can do it at the Pac 12 level, while the Boise DC has not. If Petersen names Coach K the DC, then we should try and retain Tosh as the DL coach and ace recruiter.

My gut says Kim is still an idiot.
