Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

From the mouth of the Baird

Okay, he's not the Bard, but nobody is or even comes close. I've been gorging myself on every article, commentary, story, and rumor surrounding this week's hiring of Chris Peterson. Most of you likely read this before I, but I think Coach Baird who next to Softy is my least favorite media personality covering Husky Football...... deserves a shout-out for the following quote in Percy Allen's Seattle Time's column:

" My reaction is USC tried to get this guy (Peterson) and they couldn't get him," Baird said. " So they took our guy (Sark) and we took the guy they wanted. So the irony of the whole thing is just ridiculous."

There's nothing ironical that happened Thursday evening here in Boise that could come close to Baird's ignorance as a self-proclaimed member of the PNW football coaching fraternity. Chris Peterson was ready for a change upward and intended or not, he called the play that got him the change he preferred by rejecting USC who really wanted Sark which quickly made the UW job available.

It all seemed logical to me, as I tossed and turned in my sleep last night struggling to avoid a succession of Husky Football wet dreams. I'm sure it would be the same for Coach if he could ever pull his head out of that dark KJR hole it's stuck in. He might then be able to get his mind around the whole affair as I have. Still, the Baird's quote is priceless and in my limited view deserves a rare shout-out for a Husky honk.

Now, I must go purchase a Sunday Idaho Statesman and gorge some more.

    Baird knew for years that Sark wasn't the guy and would bolt for SC. Nobody would listen.

    Why is Baird happy though? He told us for years you have to have coaching continuity to win.

    You can't bake the cake and take it out before it's ready or whatever the fuck he was rambling about.

    I can't wait for HHB's to bring up coaching continuity to that fucktard next year.

    If you recall his almost complete turnover of staff from the original group of assistants he hired, Sark blew-up that whole continuity myth during his five years at Montlake. In a backhanded way, it was one of the things Sark did right....... in that after starting with a defective staff of assistants originally hired in 2009, he did make positive changes especially on defense where he apparently was totally clueless in starting his first head coaching gig. The only "continuities" Sark keep around to plague his program until he quit for the trip back to L.A. were himself, Nanson, and Cozzetto.

    I feel sorry for all the families. Coz's kids are going to starve!

    how many kids are going to have to change schools and suffer disrupted lives due to Sark's greed and selfishness?

    It does feel good, I must admit. And I sense excitement in Seattle from my kids and grandkids. In regard the family, it's strange the affect the new stadium had on them especially the younger members of my crew. It was like "Grandpa, now that we have this great new place, how long do we have to put up with losing to Oregon and sloppy play against the coogs?" There's even talk about getting more tickets which we should probably do now before CP corrects a few things such as the offensive and defensive lines and special teams.

    Tailgater-Baird is just too confused to understand the complexity of this hire.
