    If he wins.

    He certainly seems to be building things "the right way" (barf at that phrase after the past 15 years). Still need to prove he isn't Hawkins.

    One of my favorite stories involved a booster I used to know who was prominent for several decades. He loved UW and passionately wanted a winning football team. He's in his 80s now. For the sake of discussion we'll call him Richard.

    When Don James arrived at Washington in 1975, Richard scheduled a lunch with him. They met at a restaurant, talked for a few minutes, and then Richard handed James a notebook that talked about how Washington recruited historically and the system for James to follow.

    Don James reportedly thumbed through it, smiled, and then said, "You know what, I've got a better plan. Why don't I worry about coaching the team and you enjoy watching us from the grandstands on game day."

    One of my favorite things about Chip Kelly was that he had no relationship whatsoever with the alumni.

    That's actually not completely true. Chip went surfing several times with a Duck alumnus friend of mine when in SoCal.

    Limp wrist paddling might be effective in the southern swell.

    I bet he liked riding the swell.
