    He's not, but it's easier said than done in the 21st century.

    3 coaches in 10 years. But, two final fours and a title appearance.

    Is flash in the pan better than perpetual 7-5? Yes

    First off, no one wanted to poach Stanback’s coaches. And most of the instability is shitty hires.

    Not burned out and flexible Pete here for 15 years could have been cool.

    As much as I want to blame the school, they’ve been poached by Alabama and USC 3 times in 11 years. Everyone else he mentioned was just shitty at their job or burnt out like pretty much everyone in every job.

    Right, I was thinking HC

    Still speaks to what Stanback was saying though, if we were serious about football this wouldn't keep happening

    He also had a point about petersen who I agree would have been exponentially more likely to stay with more support from upper campus

    It's a systemic problem, not just meanies at usc/Alabama

    Oregon squashed the Lanning shit instantly, we didn't

    Doing a good deep dive on what you’re doing is prudent from time to time

    There’s truth in what he’s saying to some level

    Some is also just plain bad decisions and bad luck

    I vote for Stanback to be the next HC. Go in, clean house, and stay for a long time.

    Losing Willingham, Sark, and Gilbertson were fucking blessings. losing Petersen was a retirement decision. Losing DeBoer was the only relative surprise. Fuck Cohen and who cares. Otherwise his video is spot on. I guess.

    In his rambling (NTTAWWT, I sometimes do the same meandering, stream of consciousness, thinking aloud too) if you're able to pan for the nuggets of truth, I think his real issue is our hiring process is broken.

    I'm getting frustrated with the revolving door around here too, but to dovetail with everything we've been saying about our school being Stepping Stone U, maybe it's time to embrace it. Moneyball this shit. We're the Oakland As now.

    I have no idea what that looks like, but you have to get these diamonds in the rough that are hungry for their first head coaching on the cheap and say, "you'll get yours if you stay, but understand you'll pay for it dearly in buyouts if you LEAVE!"

    Its the Seattle culture. People don't give a fuck about football here, and in a lot of cases actively despise it. It isn't ever gonna change.

    Brilliant idea dude, hire young unproven coaches with huge buyouts, what can go wrong!


    Maybe signing a young unproven whelp with a huge buyout isn't a brilliant idea in case he is fucking trash and we need to move on

    We were just in the natty, we don't need a diamond in the rough stop being a pussy and demand more from the program

    Good point, they call it the 12th man because nobody gives a fuck about football, brilliant

    The issue for UW is that seattle isn't a college town, no shit uw doesn't dominate media in seattle, why don't we garner attention like Eugene or Tuscaloosa or ann arbor or Gainesville or do you get the point?

    I probably should have clarified *college* football. I think its more of a case of academic snobbery and hatred of the university spending money on collegiate athletics than anything, since there are conflicting interests there unlike the media monster that is the NFL. I could have worded it a lot better, I'll admit.

    you worded it a lot better than I did, that was what I was trying to get across.

    The UW fucking loved all the attention they got this year. And the money that came with it.

    Even moreso than when their Covid models were embarrassingly wrong on cable TV 99% of the time in 2020.
