- 60% - Doubt it, murray's mom is a huge issue - Hard to say when I don't know the offensive scheme or the QB but looking at the opponents they have four tough games (Michigan, on the road against Cal, Oregon and USC). At this point I guess 10-2 with a 7-2 conference record. - Jimmy is just now looking so too early to say. Coaches convention will help bring candidates - Yes - Somewhat close, Jerry gave him a huge offer that we couldn't match - Sad situation - Both - Think next year will be the last for the two. Don't think Jimmy renews there contracts after the year is over. If he fires them now, it cost a mill plus bringing in guys to replace them would be expensive. - We reached out and asked for his transcript but once Fromm left Georgia, it was over - My guess is yes
I would love 10-2, but I’m guessing 8-4 is more likely.
I don't see how we'd go .500 against Michigan, at Oregon, at USC, and at Utah
I also wonder if we'll continue the tradition of the bizarre away game loss against inferior teams
This is the question that I'm most interested in. If Donovan can match Bush's output (writing that makes me sick) and the defense takes the step we think it will then we should win 10 games next year. IF, we can avoid the mysterious let downs against shitty teams. This years team wins ten if they show up to beat Stanford and Colorado, not to mention they were playing with the lowest output defense since 2014. It's not a hard equation. I'm just not enthused with the idea of grinding out hard, ugly 26-17 wins every week. I prefer the plunger method.

Washington is really the wild card in the Pac-12 next year I think. I can see them being as good as conference champs, or as bad as 7-5, and it's really going to come down to what the new offense looks like. Defensively they should have one of the, if not the best unit in the conference, and that should be good enough to keep them in every game so long as the offense is at least halfway competent. That's a mighty big if though, because the offensive side of the ball is littered with question marks from top to bottom, at each position and in terms of coaching.
@WillyRBeek I disagree a bit here. Our offense is going to be shaky and shaky offenses don't travel well. I think we lose 3 games minimum and 5 games maximum. What's going to determine our success is Defense. It's one thing we can reliably expect to travel. I don't care if we lose the Michigan game as much as the importance of playing physical. If the message is sent that you have a dawgfight coming to your stadium when the boys show up I like our changes to go 2-2 during our road game conference stretch while the Offense jells for the last half of the season with a lot of home games.

You're absolutely correct about offenses not travelling as well as defenses, but thankfully for the Huskies, their first 3 games are in Seattle, and 2 of them they should win fairly easily as long as the offense isn't a complete horror show, so that should hopefully give the offense a bit of a chance to gel before hitting the road. On paper, from a standpoint of how they've recruited, the Huskies should be pretty good on the offensive side of the ball, but how those players have/will be developed, what the play calling is going to look like, how said players are going to be utilized, is all up in the air right now. Like I said, a lot of question marks. That 4 game road trip, against what should arguably be their 4 toughest conference opponents, is what's going to make or break this season for the Huskies.
@sonics1993 are you in agreement with Chester that being non-white should have been the top qualification for the OC and/or TE hire?
On a serious note
1- any other info on the GA "offer"? I'm assuming he's looking for a higher job than co defensive backs coach.
2- what do you know/think about Cato?
3- what % do you put as at for just Yary? (Not including Togiai)
- He wants to call plays and Jimmy isn’t screwing over Coach K for that - That he’s an analyst and apparently our new TE coach - 75% right now if it’s between us, UCLA and USC. If schools like ASU and Oregon jump in then that decreases.

Under those conditions, fare thee well, GA, we didn’t want you anyway.

Don’t know where the GA rumors started but it was never happening

A myth has been perpetuated over the last few years that it is somehow GA's birthright to come "back" to UW and people got it in their head that he somehow has deep ties to UW. In reality, he was a GA here for one year and had been with a half dozen other teams (college and NFL) before taking the job at Cal. There is no reason for him to leave Cal for the same job at UW if he has higher aspirations than being a DB coach.
To answer the question though, I think Chest claimed in a podcast that he "was hearing" that GA was being hired.
I think 7 wins unless we get a grad transfer QB. The fact is that none of the dudes on the roster last year were even close to being on Haener's level.
So is basketball recruiting covered on this board at all? I'm wondering because a lot has been made of the 2021 class in the state of Washington for football, but the 2021 basketball class is also the best class Washington has had in a very long time. Just wondering what kind of chance the Huskies have at landing some of these guys.

We have basketball board this nonsense. Keep this garbage off the football recruiting board
