    I'm intrigued by Haener coming back since he's comfortable and proven in this system. Hell he was even in the Heisman conversation for a bit this season. I do think we need to hit the portal regardless to build up depth & in case Sam still isn't ready. But like Sonics mentioned, you better be fucking careful that you don't risk the future for a 1 year rebuilding year. If ceiling is 7-8 wins, I'd rather take lumps with Sam same way we did with Browning as a Freshmen.

    I love Sonics but his take here is off. Haener is way better than Huard right now and we take him in a heartbeat.

    Sonics also wasn’t a fan of DeBoner initially but has since come around. The same will happen with Haener and he’ll warm up to it.

    If Sam portals because he had to sit out one year learning the system then good riddance

    It's not like we are contending next year, so why not start building with Sam? And worst case, what if Sam leaves?

    Why not? The defense shouldn't be any worse than what we saw and the offense should take a huge step forward, especially with a competent QB. Give Sam a year to get actual coaching and be ready to kill it as a junior.

    I'm all for taking Haener.
    I’m hearing another 10 win Season, rather easily.
    Anything less than 8 is a failure.

    10 is optimistic but a possibility.
    Rinse.Lather.Repeat then.

    I understand why expectations would make you uncomfortable.

    Pat pat.

    i like how people are complaining about our dicks not being big enough but then balking at actually trying to win games next year

    So the quitter coming back is trying to win games?

    Its going to be hilarious when Haener transfer to UW and sucks, Morris transfers to Fresno State and is incredible under Tedford, and Huard transfers to SDSU and sits for the rest of his career.

    If Sam portals because he had to sit out one year learning the system then good riddance

    UW has a ton of soft players who think they are stars. If some transfer, good. Culture change.

    Haener would have 1 year, he wouldn’t be coming over with 3 years of eligibility left. I doubt Huard leaves because of that and if he does well fuck him then.

    Not contending? So we should just throw the season away and not try to get a better draft pick? I’m confused.
    If Jake Haener can't win the Mountain West, how in the world do you expect him to win the Pac-12? The whole point of hiring him was that he can develop talent. Well then develop, Sam, that's why you were brought here.
    Pac 12 was .500 vs Mountain West this year. 16-24 since 2016 and 13-12 against them in bowl games. Let’s not pretend like the Pac 12 is a juggernaut conference in comparison.
    I'm not saying that at all, but I'm being realistic about where Washington stands in terms of talent. I don't think we are talented as we seem and that this needs to be torn down and rebuilt back up with a culture change which takes time.
    Can do both at the same time … the beauty of the portal

    Also the last 2 classes while below standards combined basically equate to one class in size … the COVID eligibility rules are going to make things interesting for the next few years
    Most good transfer portal players go to the top programs. For every Bookie, Washington will get three Matins and Giles Jackson's.
    It’s hard to fathom how you can talk such a big game about recruiting and the program needing to do what is necessary to win yet you care about Sam Huard and his feelings.
    This is reminding me of the time DDY was pitching for "this and this recruit" to start over BBK even though BBK was lighting it up.

    What really be fucking hilarious is if he transferred back and Huard beat him out this time instead of Eason.

    I see that the only person that agrees with me is @RaceBannon . Therefore I take back anything I said, and I would love Haener back. Also, fuck you, old man!

    Joe Burrow quit on Ohio St, Kyler Murray quit on A&M, Justin Fields quit on UGA. They all did okay for themselves.

    Get with the times old man
    They didn't return to their school did they?

    I love the portal. But once you go your gone.. Next

    Haener this year threw for 753 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT against Oregon and UCLA

    Huard against WSU, arguably worse team than both Oregon and UCLA, threw for 190 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTS.

    I am definitely not giving up on Huard but I also want the best players we can get to play and if that is Haener for a year so be it... especially in a familiar offense for him and one that isn't for Sam.
