I think I made my point, Gasbag. But just for you: the TugCon narrative today is that the (ultra left-wing) UW administration wanted James gone by 1984, yet after four consecutive crummy seasons, starting with 1985, he didn't get fired even though absolutely no one would have mourned his firing at the time.WestlinnDuck said:
So, the people who were saying the James had lost it were full of sh*t like you. Is that your point? If so, well played. Don't get the dazzler handle for nothing.HHusky said:

Just the facts, ma'am.
Beat Oregon,
Nothing else matters.
And nobody gave an extra shit about Oregon in 1988 except Oregon State.
Seasons of 1985-88 were awful. Painful.
The TugCon narrative is wrong, of course. Nothing new under the Sun.
Bush wasn't president in 84 moron

He proved himself from '77 to '84 or whatever the first good stretch was, then again in the early 90s. The only guy to approach him was Peterson, who never really won the big one and lost in big bowl games. At least you're not a doog, but that part of the 80s was down time, it wasn't toilet time.HHusky said:
1985 was awful and featured a home loss to an absolutely terrible Oregon State as well as three non-competitive losses.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

It was a mediocre stretch. Bammer had those before they stopped investigating the SUCKEC elite about 12-15 years ago because Emmert's a corrupt cocksucker. You're reaching.
1986 was the best of the 4; still, we were non-competitive in a bowl loss.
1987 was mediocre and we were non-competitive in three of our losses.
1988, in retrospect, may have reflected a turning of the corner in the sense of being competitive in all games, but snapped our consecutive bowl streak and seemed like a dud at the time.
Coaches get fired at big-time programs for stretches like this. The drop from 1984 was precipitous. -
That stretch from '85 to '88 was similar to Lambright's tenure. It might not get you fired, but it could. And again, if Gerberding had wanted James gone, he would have gotten minimal backlash after the '88 season. But he didn't want James gone; he didn't hate athletics; and he wasn't some radical lefty. The whole "upper campus was out to get Don James" nonsense has been made up out of whole cloth by a fan base that conflates its every frustration with its politics. It's especially silly because Don James wasn't fired. He could probably have coached at the UW as long as he wanted.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

And James shouldn't have made an appearance at a campaign rally for anyone. It was bad judgment. But it didn't have anything to do with anything in 1993.
