    I'd take Wilcox as HC, Tedford as OC, Peter Sirmon and Tosh as Co-DCs.

    Given what we've had, I would be excited about Tedford.

    Coaching searches are hard. You either have to find someone really good who's previously gone undiscovered, or you're recycling a guy who's (most of the time) looked bad somewhere else and you think your situation can be the right combo to make him good. Wilcox and Tedford have both looked like they can coach at times, Tedford over a longer timeline. But how about option 3 - none of the above?

    Tedford with UW's resources intrigues me.

    If UW hires Wilcox, it’s pulling the cord. Jeebus, hiring an Oregon grad from Junction City lol. No mind that the fella has been an abject failure at foobaw coaching.

    If he wasn't 60 years old with a history of heart problems that caused him to stop coaching, I'd feel the same.

    That's a fair rebuttal. But there are workarounds...







    Is it me or every second glance I see a consuela pulling up her pants?

    Same here.

    His peak is a Holiday Bowl win. (And two losses.)

    I can’t believe this is happening.

    Wilcox is probably reaching out to schools for obvious reasons and hoping that his handful of wins over the top schools the last 2-3 seasons can convince someone. Plus because he was at Cal he kept bleeding his best assistants.

    I think even UW knows they can't afford to take a risk on a guy whose best year equalled one of Pete's worst years in a 3 way tie for 2nd in the north.

    I don't think he's a bad coach but I don't want a west coast offense. I guess he could put up points at times when Garbers was on.

    Wilcox is a good coach who I'd expect to land somewhere just below where Petersen had the program. I think he's es relatively low risk in that I can't picture him failing to win 8-10 games per year at UW. Better than Sark and light years better than Lake. Not good enough though. That's really the risk with him...satisfactory mediocrity. It's a big risk too.

    Do better. It's time for UW to branch out and bring in someone new. Be the program that launches a career for a hungry, promising young coach who has to prove that he deserved the promotion.

    I'd have a hard time saying no to Tedford though. I know he fizzled at Cal but it took him one season to turn their recruiting around and make them the primary threat to USC in the conference. He's tanned, rested and ready. He might top out like Wilcox or burn out quickly again, but I'd bet anything he'd get the program on track.

    You’re not very good at this.

    Your inability to grasp the engrish language makes myself and @FireCohen feel like rogue scholars.

    Sounds like you’re talking about Jimmy Lake 2019. But give him a fat paycheck and he coasted.

    If Wilcox hires a good OC and brings GA, Tosh, and Heyward with him back to UW then I might be ok with the hire. Won't get me excited but at least we'll have some recruiting sizzle.
