Thank God this bullet dodged us
He was a Neuheisel OKG, but thank God his dad wouldn't sign the LOI.
But seriously, I think he's 95% of why Ty happened and why he was so hard to fire.

He was a stellar TE in college and a pretty good one in the NFL. But for a few serious injuries he could have been a great pro.Emoterman said:https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28008415/ex-nfl-player-kellen-winslow-jr-takes-plea-deal-rape-case

The only thing WA dodged was having a great TE to follow Jeremy Stevens. -
Agree. I was so pissed when his dad wouldn't sign the LOI because UW had never had a black head coach then he ended up at Miami, who of course had also never had one.creepycoug said:

I thought it was more about the fact that Neuheisel was a union buster player (SCAB) during an NFL strike and WInslow Sr didn't like him for that.Emoterman said:

That's what I had heard. Race probably remembers this one pretty well. The other thing is, a lot of people didn't, and don't, like Neuheisel. He's that kind of personality. I personally liked him very much and thought he was an underrated coach. What he did with that 2000 team is something that his critics have to rationalize. Yeah he had a special QB and some underrated defenders, but coaching mattered on that team and he did it well. I also met Rick several times and found him to be an easy guy to like. He's the kind of coach that can generate genuine enthusiasm for a program and was such a breath of fresh air after fatso, who had the personality (and coaching ability) of a wet cardboard box.Baphomet said:

I thought it was because Winslow wanted to go to Miami
I remember all the noise at the time because the other thing Rick did was make us a recruiting school for a while just as the internet was taking off. Perfect storm. Followed the Reggie Williams recruitment like he was my son
The old guard always hated Rick because they loved Lambo and Rick didn't BLEED purple. But the team did appear to get worse the better they recruited.

Last coach to win a rose bowl and pop off. Tui gets the 4th down vs Oregon. Simple fact.RaceBannon said:I thought it was because Winslow wanted to go to Miami
