Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Will history repeat itself?

Babs gave Gilby 2004

Turner gave Ty 2008

Will Jenny give Jimmy 2022?

And if she does, how many conference games do we win next season with a roster picked clean via the transfer portal and replenished with the nation's 94th-best recruiting class?

Two?

One?

Zero like both Gilbertson in 2004 and Willingham in 2008?

    Think Jimmy guaranteed himself 2022 with the Stanford win. I think he actually gets to 6-6 now. Remember 6-6 got Lambright fired? Oh how far expectations have fallen.

    I would hate keeping Jimmy after 4-7 wins a lot less if recruiting was going well.

    Lambo got 6 years

    Gilby is the only coach here to get fired after 2 years and he went 1-11. Cherberg might have been fired after 2 years but even I wasn't born yet

    Jimmy has coached 12 games. People wanted him fired after 5. All that did was give Jen and the gang ammunition to ignore us? because we are mean and purple
    Wonder what Jenny says if Sam and Damon walk in to her office after the Apple Cup to tell her Sam is entering the transfer portal?

    Does she double down on keeping Lake or does she find a new coach to try to keep the 5-star legacy QB from leaving on her watch?

    She might say - Sam couldn't beat out the worse quarterback that Race Bannon has ever seen. Enjoy FCS ball

    I'll admit I was doogish enough at the time I thought Gilby deserved the second year. I also think Neuheisel would have went 6-6 or something in 2003 and hopefully got fired or left for a lateral job. Again, different expectations and Gilby's abortion of a season in 2004 really started the epic lowering of the bar.

    In the long list of UW misfortune, having to fire Neuheisel in the Spring for something totally harmless doesn't come up enough.

    Agree except never really expected much from Gilby after Cal

    What comes even up less perhaps is how criminally awful Gilbertson was in those two seasons as "Head Coach"

    He was the loser who drove the program into the ditch and yet he gets a semi-free pass into the Husky history books because of his contributions to the 1991 team.

    The guy should've been ground up and fed to the homeless camps on The Ave after that disaster
    Gilby is the opposite of following a legend

    He was followed by Owen12 and erased from memory

    He really was a great line coach but he was hired by Cal as head coach after 91 and failed there. Remember that Cal was pretty good in the early 90's. Gave our DAWGS a run in 91

    Gilby was the head coach in 93 when Damon Huard led a 4th quarter comeback.

    Gilby was also on Rick's Rose Bowl staff

    He was the human Peter Principle

    Jimmy's getting 2022. Maybe staff changes on offense but the offensive scheme isn't changing much.

    He will sell all the younger players on playing time and wave goodbye to the upperclassmen who sucked this year.

    Will try and fill in depth via the portal.
