The four year results of 12-47 and 0-12 state clearly to anybody who even fakes knowledge of football that Tyrone Willingham was the worst alltime hire in the history of Husky Football. However, most doogs acknowledged that in retrospect only after our favorite football program was clearly in the dumpster.
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.
Dr. Snakeoil Emmert was probably a damn good president in the eyes of a foreign exchange grad student in chemistry from Asia, but chemistry can't score touchdowns or even kick field goals. The worst was that Emmert from the get-go proved himself to be a fucking liar for no good reason about things regarding the future and wellbeing of Husky Football and our interests in what football Saturdays at Montlake must be all about. For that, his presidency at UW can burn eternally in fucking hell.
Looking at how Kim embraced Sark and his bullshit 5-4 conference record every year while is skeptical of Petermen's 92-12 record is all the evidence that we need.
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.
I'm probably politically incorrect in my beliefs about this, which is easy at my age, but anybody in Seattle or anywhere in any function who avoided criticism of Tyrone because they feared being accused of racism were actually the only ones playing the race card. Without any regard for the multiracial mob of fanatics that support Husky Football or the sport in general, anyone paying attention to who plays and coaches the game would know that what was happening to UW's football program during Willingham's tenure was disgusting to us all and damaging to our football interests, regardless of race or creed.
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.
Tailgater you don't have to worry about being PC here, that's why this bored exists. Sheesh!
Agree Tailgater, TY was a PC trophy hire. TODD wanted to brag he had men of color at the head of both bball and football. HE was the racist.
Sadly there are ample black coaches who may have been great, but they wouldn't have gotten the pub. Ty was a failed coach by any objective measure before we hired him.
