    Have to also think the school's overall lack of commitment to football might play a factor. If Oregon is recruiting you they can easily point out that Washington wasn't able to find a way to let their kids play in a championship game and they did and as a kid you'd have to listen to that in my opinion

    We are in a stage of denial if we think all it takes to change recruiting momentum is winning on the field

    And you're in denial if you don't think the league and the school took a big hit off the field during covid

    The only way to change the narrative is to change the narrative. USC fans are freaking out too as they should I guess.

    People forget that the last meaningful Husky game was another gutless loss to Oregon in 2019

    Sounds like some of you want Jimmy to fail just so you can say you were right - Hi Kim
    Win the Pac-12 and then make some staff changes. That's the only plan I can come up with to get back on track.
    We need to stop agreeing

    Bad for your brand

    I'm pessimistic but trying to keep an open mind until the end of this season and the next recruiting cycle.

    It’s fair to keep an open mind

    On the field they should be good this year … anything in the 8-4 range sends the alarm bells into a full scale alert of the highest levels

    It’s one thing to me if we got our targets and the stars weren’t where you’d like them

    But we’re seeing significant numbers of decommits AND whiffing on many of our top targets (particularly some that should be layups

    The biggest worry is likely to come when we see heavy attrition in the off-season … that has the chance to topple the house of cards Jimmy is presiding over
    If they suck this year I will fight my way back off the bandwagon

    I reuse to panic over the future until after the season
    Fair enough. We just ask that you let the rest of us panic in peace.
    I needed a new unpopular leader to supper

    Terrible take

    Is there any hope? There are obviously MAJOR issues in our programs approach but if the head man is too stubborn and arrogant to see and address them, then what? We are primed for a major fall once the 2019 class cycles out

    I certainly don't begrudge you your opinion, but it's interesting coming from Mr. Always Count on UW to make the Wrong Decision.

    This sounds good but what indication at all do we have that Jimmy would make any changes to the staff he just hired and/or extended ?
