We sacrificed so much more than one year.Tequilla said:It's apples and oranges
The state of the P12 is completely on the University President's that not only hired Backhand Larry AND enabled him for so many years when it was so painfully obvious that he was in over his head
The comparison to Emmert and Tyrone is different in this respect ... Emmert sacrificed 2008 to placate the segment of the population and stakeholders that enabled Tyrone ... everybody knew that Tyrone was on an island in 2008 and it would have never have worked. It's a big difference to sacrifice 1 year for multiple years like the P12 did with Larry Scott. -
This. We could have had a top tier coach if we we hired correctly after Rick or even one year of gilby. Instead we killed the program and had to take a chance on sark.DerekJohnson said:

We were in the CFP 8 years later ...
Many programs would sacrifice a few high level donors to be in the CFP

You're talking 2003/2004 to 2007 at that point ... 2008 didn't put the program in substantially more of a hole than it already wasAtomicDawg said:

Who would UW have gotten after 2007 that they couldn't get in 2008?dnc said:

For as much as I have disdain for Sark ... being able to pull in a coordinator from a top program like USC and immediately being able to start the shift back in recruiting positioned UW for the success that they had under Pete.
