    I doubt Jen will ever get the chance to hire a coach. She'd have to fire Jimmy first, and I don't see that happening.

    Maybe if she's AD at another school, but I doubt it given she's done nothing with NIL

    I'm hearing that Jimmy will fail his way to the NFL

    It's all about the image.

    @Dennis_DeYoung aka @Crow_T_Robot: "It's sales"

    Our head coach is 4-1. Talent developer. NFL draft producer. Impresario. Offices in the middle of High Tech country.

    Babuschka lost to us in 2000. Desperately needs an eyebrow waxing and offices in Corvallis. Hi @trublue! Awful things happen in Corvallis, yet Babuschka and Oregon State come off as the cool kid and our guy looks like CompuServe, circa late '93

    They're not wrong, but fucking christ they could have PM'd any schlubb on this board and they could've given a more insightful take than that.

    This is a bad article even by the standards of bad articles that get posted here by dear leader.

    To have pressure would imply some leader somewhere actually wants to win. Washington coaches have no pressure. 7-6 for perpetuity

    Yeah, I don’t know where the pressure is coming from. 9-4 will be just fine to most people and most importantly, the UW AD.

    It was a question.

    You disagreed. With what? OSU doesn't make Babuschka's program look>Jimmy's?

    I mean, the record is what it is, but the kids aren't connecting the dots.

    Smith sucks. Period

    UW marketing sucks. Period

    I've been quite clear on both

    The booving for Smith here is embarrassing

    This. There hasn’t been pressure for the head coach at uw since hedges left as crappy of an AD as she was.

    Did you sense an editorial thought in my harmless post?

    My original split with doogman was over the timing of firing Rick

    I was losing faith but you don't fire him in June and replace him with Gilby

    I loved that Rose Bowl. Thought we had hit a home run

    And in case the youngsters don't get the reference

    Rick and Colorado had beat Oregon in the Cotton Bowl

    Bellotti said he wasn't sure the best team won

    Rick said scoreboard baby

    Drove the ducks crazy

    Rick kept saying that throughout his tenure at us. I didn’t know that was the genesis. Funny belotti said that after that game becaise that was an ass nicking prequel to the dawgs being prison raped by the falcons.

    We (the royal) only like Rick in retrospect, because of how he went out and how fucked the next decade was.

    But don’t forget we were starting to dislike him for pussifying our team. He was heading for a shit-canning pre NCAA bracket pool.

    I began to really lose faith when Neu was being interviewed while golfing. He was asked about the team averaging 2.2 yards a carry in 2002. And he said something about the team getting in the meat locker and punching slabs of beef like Rocky.

    I thought oh god...

    If his tenure could have come to a natural end after going 7-5 too many times a few years later, imagine how much better the program could have been from 2004 on. It would not have cratered. That’s assuming turner is ever hired to clean things up as well.
