    Jimmy is the worst

    Well the OP's question doesn't say anything about head coach. Jimmy recruited and developed several sensational DBs who went to the NFL. So Willingham was worse. In terms of damage to the program, Willingham and Gilby were neck-and-neck. As DNC said, if given another year or so, Jimmy might have entered the Ty/Gilby pantheon

    Praise allah for the walk on that got him fired

    Jimmy had the decency to LEAVE after 13 games

    Willingham for sure. When he took over, there was literally nowhere for the program to go but up. But somehow, he found a way to make it worse.

    He also didn’t call the NAACP and start crying when told he was being fired (that we know of).

    Ty is worse and Jimmy gets a pass unless @DerekJohnson ends up writing a book about him at which time I’ll reconsider my vote.

    Tough to say. Good arguments for both. Jimmy needed more time to get his owen in there. I'm reminded that it took Ty four years.

    Only 66% of the last 6 UW head coaches had a winning record after 13 gaymes. Jimmy was one of them. Better than Ty.

    The first game under Ty was a road game at Qwest against Air Force. We? lost but we? always lose to Air Force. Rick lost to Air Force his first year. Anyway I recall a lot of folks including myself being impressed after Gilby that we looked like a team out there again. The old adult in charge thing. There was some hope again.

    Chambers dropped a big pass and Ty's petty reaction to that was a portend of things to come.

    I liked Ty when I met him and I bet I'd like Jimmy even more. We could go boating and pound Budweisers.

    But as coaches both seemed to end up hating their players and it was returned

    I think Jimmy seems like a cool guy and someone I would hang with.

    Jimmy with a little humility seems like a cool guy to hang with
