    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.

    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.

    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!"
    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.
