I remember when Rick was fired in 2003, there was a lot of talk about the "snitch." Many names were mentioned such as Condotta and Rick Redmond. Did it ever come out who the snitch was?

    Condotta came up repeatedly from my personal circle of sources. Consorts had a wazzu sticker in his car, that is the PROOF.

    Slick Rick won a RB Washington would be lucky to have a guy like slick. He did it the RIGHT WAY won with Lambo's guys. Slick also has a NW championship, Sark can't even sniff his jock.

    I love how Doogs always contradict themselves and use revisionist history when talking about Rick.

    - "He only won with Lambo's guys" implying that team was so talented that anyone could have won there. Well guess what? Lambo couldn't win with Lambo's guys and had three teams more talented than the 2000 team. Also same doogs who say that never say "Sark only won a bowl game with Ty Willingham's guys" which that team had almost all Ty recruits.

    - They refuse to acknowledge what a great coaching job Rick did in 2000. From a talent perspective I'd take the 1994, 1996, 1997, 2002 and 2003 teams over that one in 2000. Plus you add in the midseason tragedy of Curtis Williams and how Rick didn't allow that to be a distraction instead embraced it.

    - Refuse to acknowledge that Rick was a great offensive mind unlike Sark. Rick made adjustments which Sark doesn't do. Rick came here trying to run a pro style offense and UW started off 0-2 and he realized after two fucking games that was a bad idea. So he ran the option offense something he had never done before playing to Tui's strength. While Sark faced a similar situation with Locker and refused to change going 12-13 with Jake when he should have gone 16-9 by simply turning Jake into a spread QB.

    - They get on Rick for being soft, neglecting the OL, having star players get in trouble, have a bad season(7-6) yet completely ignore/don't care that Sark is doing that.

    I don't think Rick is a great coach but he's sure as hell better than Sark is. Sark in every way is a poor version of Rick.

    Firing Rick in June of 2003 was the start of many dumb moves that this Administration has made in the past decade.
    Not sure where you are getting your information from, but I'm pretty sure half your butt buddies on this site were just described in your post. Yet, I'm the biggest fucking doog around and agree with your point of view on Rick. He won a fucking Rose Bowl.....works for me.

    God, this debate I did not miss. Skippy never wanted to be at Washington. He was looking for the next gig every day he spent at UW. He lied to the press, he lied to the administration, and he lied to fans.

    His teams got worse every year he was here.

    And he did create a thug culture in the program. Those Seattle Times stories were accurate and well deserved.

    What came after Skippy sucked. That doesn't mean he was the right guy; he wasn't.

    I don't even think anyone had a problem with firing Rick after the 7-6 season but it was firing him in June what had most fans pissed off.

    Also Rick was fired for something stupid that his whole coaching staff including Gilby was also involved in some basketball pool which the whole nation does as well.

    There were a few other things (he lied about the 49er interview, the minor recruiting violations, and he was in hot water with the Coaches Association.. I know,who cares but it does reflect poorly). What was the administration supposed to do? Keep letting him fuck up, then fire him 6 months or a year later? There was a pattern.

    His w-l wasn't bad, but that 2002 season was an omen of things to come. Their mistake wasn't Hiring an interim coach, then hiring a real coach like THE OHIO STATE did with Rural Meyer.

    If they were that upset about Rick yes you keep him for the season then fire him at the season end. By firing him in June you left yourself with only one option which was Gilby. A coach who bombed at Cal and a coach who nobody ever thought of as a head coach since then.

    Now you are correct they should have fired Gilby after the 6-6 season.

    Firing Rick in June started the pattern of making awful decisions that is still present this day.

    Disagree with some of this.

    You don't fire a coach in June without a major scandal Petrino level scandal. Nothing Rick did came close to that, and neither did the sum of his transgressions. If you want to make the decision to let him go after the season, great, that gives you time to get a head start on a replacement list. Firing him in June kicked the team in the nuts. Yeah, Dave's famous 12-0 prediction was crazy but no one had a massive issue with it at the time. That was a good team with a lot of talent. Firing the beloved (by the kids) HC in June and replacing him with TUFF ass Gilby destroyed that season, which destroyed the recruiting class. Firing Gilby after the first year would have helped assuage a lot of that, but 03 was still a lost season that didn't have to be. Every season counts.

    Every coach lies about interviewing for other jobs. Sark has had minor recruiting violations. In "hot water" with the coahes association because of "lack of remorse"? Fuck them.

    He was fired because he rubbed the higher ups the wrong way and they wanted him to implode.
