    Good thing he had Kim Grinolds around to be his dirty little parrot so Kim could tell the world that Husky fans couldn't have any semblance of expectations until the magical year of 2013. Something tells me that it isn't just Kim who will blame Keith Price if the Special Year of 2013 goes into the shitter - it will be the head coach as well.

    Sounds like he taking a page from the Obama playbook. Some of you don't realize the damage Bush/Willingham did.

    I really don't think he's feeling any heat. He's just tamping expectations and toning down the BS so heat doesn't develop.

    He laid out a set of excuses...."not my fault' laced with a bit of bravado, "competing for the conference championship." If he wins 8 regular season games, we'll erect a statue to him. As long as he goes 7 - 5 he'll be around for several years.

    As oft mentioned, "Husky Football IS Dead."

    This is my real fear. Will he be gone if he goes 7-5? Somehow, I doubt he will.

    We just might be able to eak out 7 wins.

    BOISE STATE - L
    at Illinois
    IDAHO STATE
    CALIFORNIA
    Stanford - L
    OREGON - L
    Oregon State - L
    UCLA - L
    ARIZONA
    Arizona State
    COLORADO
    WASHINGTON STATE

    We might win one of the five games marked as a loss. We'll lose a game to some high school team like WSU so there's five loses in all likely hood. If anything goes wrong, we're 6 - 6 or worse. Anybody on this schedule can beat us other than Idaho St and perhaps Colorado and Illinois.

    At this stage, I'm hoping for less than 6 wins.....it's the only way we eradicate this cancer.

    The only point where I could start actually hoping for the Huskies to lose is if we're 3-7 or something like that. Just like 2007.

    UCLA. Would they be better of if Rick had won a few more games his last year? He might still be there.

    It's bitter medicine.

    If Sark can't win 9 games before December, i think 3 wins would be my next choice. Get him the fuck out.

    My problem is I have no confidence the next hire will be anything other than Lather, Rinse, repeat.

    Sark was right the first time, when he said that it shouldn't take that long. Yes, he inherited an 0-12 team in terms of wins and losses, but not in terms of talent. He inherited Daniel Te'O Nesheim, Donald Butler, Mason Foster, Jake Locker, Jermaine Kearse, Devin Aguilar, Chris Polk, Alameda Ta'Amu, Senio Kelemete, a productive-Kavario Middleton, etc. In other words, he had a lot to work with.

    Now he is realizing that he should have milked the 0-12 excuse a lot longer. It's a winning argument to the uneducated masses.
