Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Ken Griswold knew better than anyone else Tyrone Willingham was awful at UW
How do I know? Griswold writes as much over and over and over again.
So why did Griswold (or the Dawgman staff) wait until midway through TW's fourth season in 2008 to produce an editorial calling for a new coach?
Any Husky fan worth a shit was publicly calling for Willingham's firing by the end of '07 at the very latest.
Now Ken's revisionist history makes it sound like everybody else was blind to Willingham's epic failure.

To say otherwise is just being a twister. You don't want to be a twister now do you?
Do it again and you'll be gone. No warning just done.
2) Blowing a 4th quarter lead w/ cluelessness to Arizona in '07
3) Losing to Wazzu in an Apple Cup by failing to cover a WR in '07 coming out of a timeout
4) Blowing 21 point leads to Hawaii 2x in '07
5) Letting someone keep their job by playing the race card ...
Anybody that actually thought that there was a way that Tyrone would have kept the job past 2008 was FS ... he was the definition of dead man walking.
I'm also hearing that Grinolds is a teen boy chasing pedophile that will soon choke on a ham sandwich.
The rest of the crew will get theirs soon enough for being unabashed wastes of skin that harass teen boys and their parents and try to get the "jump" on Don James passing.
What a fucking joke they have become.
I was in total disgust when they hired Ty. That hire screamed "We don't give a fuck about football anymore" and was a bigger Fuck You to football fans than even August of 1993 was.
Just absolutely disgraceful that hire was.
What seemed to be confusing, debatable, or outright disloyal and hateful in the minds of Kimberly and other expert doogs at Dm.c were the arguments by some of us at the time of his hiring that Tyrone simply couldn't be qualified for the UW job,.... because of his firing at Notre Dame and nuanced tenure at Stanford. In a very short time, the poster population at Dm.c was divided between anti-Willingham negadawgs and a much greater faction led by Kimberly and his followers who initially believed Tyrone walked on water as Husky Football's ultimate savior.
If Kimberly was unhappy with Willingham prior to the 2007 season, it could only have had something to do with access to Ty's program and as nothing to do with the football on gamedays. By the end of Tyrone's third season, most everybody who was willing to post an opinion at Dm.c wanted him gone and the darkest hour in all Husky hearts came when Emmert announced that the Fraud would have a fourth year to paint his 0-12 masterpiece.
Kim didn't hate Ty because he was 12-47, he hated Ty because he granted no access. Had Ty been his buddy he wouldn't have hated Ty.
He also had a chance to put some pressure but chose not to. All the Seattle media was fucking cowards who hid behind the race card.
Many cunts including Dick Fain even went as far as to say you aren't a real Husky fan if you want Ty fired after year three.
No way the shame of 0-12 happens if an interim is handed the team. Call it the Oregeron effect.
Those who preached and pontificated at the time that Willingham's firing in 2007 or before must be racially motivated were themselves the only racists concerned in the matter. For anyone who doesn't think that's true, simply recall how quiet it was all during and following 0-12. Husky Stadium might as well have been a mortuary and the 2008 season a wake. Thank you Dr. Emmert for your kind regard.
